This time it is all BS. Chanrai changed terms of deal at last minute. He will not risk liquidation as he would lose millions. Likewise Gaydamak.


All bluster imo!

I think Ferguson knows how to nurse a grudge and is familiar with Machiavelli on the subject of revenge. Rooney, having signed a 5 year contract, is now no longer a "wasting asset". He'd better rediscover his form soon or Ferguson might loasn him out to Preston; or sell him. And I suspect winning back the hearts and minds of the supporters after flirting with City won't be an overnight task either...
Rooney's basic pay has gone up from ?90k/week to ?160k. Tabloid headlines of ?200k+ include add-ons which would have been included in his previous contract, so just taking the basic pay increase of ?70k/week, that equates to ?3.64M/year, or ?18.2M/5 years, and let's presume his increase in add-ons (not guaranteed income) equate to ?10M over 5 years. Upon signing the new contract his value instantly increased ?50M+, so for the club it's a no brainer. I'm more concerned that the club has paid out ?440M+ in interest payments/refinancing costs since the Glazers arrived 5 years ago (?88M+/year), compared to that, Rooney's pay increase pales into insignificance...

He's still a greedy little shit though. But it's a win win situation. He could have bought out his contract and Manchester United would have got feck all for him or he could have run his contract down and they would have got feck all for him.

If at some time in the near future someone makes them an offer they can't refuse and they decide they don't want him anymore he now has real sell-on value and can get rid of him for a very large fee. Bit like the Ronaldo situation before he went to Madrid for 80 million smackers.

In the meantime he's got to starting proving to the fans and the club that he's worth what they're paying him. So far this season that hasn't happened.

No. But I know a few lads who were there. Did you see the huge "Grazie Rafa - you're a true gentleman. Justice for the 96" ? They spent the day with the Inter Ultras, who gave them permission to hang the flag from the Curva. They met Rafa afterwards.


Meanwhile, we got chased all over Naples by shithouses on scooters with metal bars and knives. A very edgy trip! 3 lads spent the night in hospital with knife wounds all downthe back of their legs.

I think all players are greedy little shits, it just gets magnified at Utd...my gripe is with his agent, a supposed 'life long Utd fan', I just hope he sacks him.

I'll never defend what's happened this week in terms of it all being made public and that stupid statement, all engineered by his 'advisors', but the point he made about investment in players was right, the pressure is now on the Glazers to spend big, but my reservation is that it will only increase our debts...anyways, do you think Spurs are finding it tough going playing post Champions League matches?

Absolute shithouses the lot of them. Thought nothing of attacking 3-4 lads on their own.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
