He's only on about £100k a week now, man

This is a good read as to how much revenue we are missing out on. http://worldsoccertalk.com/2008/01/04/the-cost-to-advertise-during-a-premier-league-match/

I will never die. Detroit is good btw. Thought the stuff with the lad out of The Dramatics was a bit ham-fisted but otherwise good. The Star Wars lad reminded me a lot of a young Denzel Washington. And not just because they all look the same.

Agreed. Rafa built a squad to win promotion from the championship. He achieved the goal first time of asking. But it's plain to see that this squad needed significant number of players with top flight experience adding to it. 5-6 capable of improving the first team was my estimate. Instead we got zero. The only thing that wills keep us up is the manager's skills as a coach because on paper it looks pretty shit. If they were never in for a number 10, why sell de Jong?

You must be the most optimistic of optimists if you think that. I naively thought it would've been different this time, but they never change. 10 years and they've learned nothing, fucked up in 2009, almost fucked up in 2013 and 2015, fucked up in 2016 and now they're squandering one of the biggest opportunities we've probably had in my time, albeit a short one, of supporting this club. They've lucked out by having Benitez fall into their laps and still managed to completely fuck it up. There is no reason whatsoever not to back him, wank little Huddersfield Town have backed their boss with 4 times as much cash (net), Brighton not far behind them but we've deliberately and purposely decided that £11m is all Benitez is worth. I utterly despise the cunts running this club. Absolutely no point in struggling to get promoted only to make funds available to buy half of Demarai Gray. What was the point? Why were we all watching Brighton's games? Why did we bother worrying about Huddersfield's form or penchant for nicking late goals? Why did we worry? Absolutely no point or reason to continue to support this mess or the utter wankers that run it. It's just futile, if ever there was a time to back someone and see us progress it was this window, right now, and we've actively refused to compete. I'll still be there at the Stoke game if Rafa's here, like.
