Sandperson Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Nah, that can't be true. Giggs would be too knackered to have been playing for that long. I would expect a correction to someone like Macheda. :)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5028-on-the-ball-new-football-focus/page/194/#findComment-251192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atila Reincarnate Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 The football "yob" look of the 1980s is making a big comeback following the release of hooligan flick The Firm, with sales of sportswear brands such as Fila and Sergio Tacchini soaring.The above taken from the BBC Sports site is a worry, it was a shite look back then and is a shite look now.

Mick Mac Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Sol Campbell leaves Notts County.

mockney piers Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 loved the comment from the manager on the lines of ' we were away at Macclesfield and the reality of it sunk in' made me chuckle. What was he actually expecting? Nice thT the real world encroaches on their ivory towers every know and then. Not like good old Sheringham who'll play anywhere that'll have him, where is he now, Dagenham or something?

red devil Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 kpc, you've not said much about Carson Yeung's proposed takeover of your beloved Blues, what's the word on the street down Brum way?..

kpc Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Truth - it worries me and I've been trying not to think about it too hard. Alcohol helps. Last time he tried, he f*cked up, we lost Steve Bruce (not necessarily a bad thing at the time) and we got relegated. For a 'paper' billionaire he seems remarkably short of cash - needed a bridging loan for the ?3m non-returnable deposit he put down and a rights issue for Grandtop to raise the ?57m for purchase. Grandtop annual report states that their football related director (MacManaman, Fan Zhiyi, Karambeu) all have extensive football management experience - I'm not aware that they have a day between them. So far the takeover has fallen foul of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange twice - his offer to fund ?5m of transfers out of his own pocket (he claimed to have already spoken to players) and lack of information supplied prior to the rights issue - this delays the EGM in Hong Kong to 5 October.The current board seem to be going anyway - adverts round Brum, emails to supporters, article on website, annoucning Saturday's game is their last at St Andrews. They rescued the club from administration 16 years ago and have made vast steps forward - debt free, yearly profits (except one year) - but never made the required investment to take the club through to the next stage. And they've had a lot of criticism for this over the past few years. They're also getting a good return on their initial (and subsequent) investment. But they've come to the decision its time to move on (and I wish them well, even if this is not universally true for Blues fans).Ka Song (his real name) Yeung says he wants Birmingham to open up the Chinese market but seems very vague about how he intends to do this. Most fans want him to build on our current status, investing more in the playing side. So far this season, performances have been very solid with some good football being played (unlike the previous season and a half which have been dire) and some good players brought in. Still desperately short of a creative midfielder and a goalscorer. If he gives McLeish the money to bring them in, fans will love him (until we get relegated). Also we need to get the fourth side of the ground redeveloped.At the moment, it's all a bit wait and see. I wouldn't be totally surprised if the takeover collapsed at the last minute.
