Kitman

iirc he sold off land in Strawberry Place previously acquired by the football club to enable ground expansion. Which is now impossible, the fat wanker. However I thought the council owned the freehold for the ground, which the club leases, and the club owns the stands/facilities built on it?

Nice to see him start as he means to go on. 11 points from 18 matches

At last we're getting to the important issues of this deal

I'll get me coat

I'm extremely doubtful anyone outside of the bidding process knows what's going on

Thank you for clearing that up

That's the only scenario that makes sense to me. Create a bit of competition etc.

Let's hope HF is wrong.

it's like choosing between different pieces of shit. Utterly clueless. They'd be better off going for an unknown lower league manager than that bunch of clowns

They've leapt up to 3rd bottom, breaking into double figures with a third of the season gone. Epic stuff!

Yeah. Him and Lawrenson.

Its far more likely imo that ashley would derail a deal by asking for too much money. If there is a deal at all.

Any purchaser would put an indemnity into the purchase agreement to protect their position. In effect any losses due to the hmrc investigation would be refunded bu ashley from the purchase price. Theres no reason why is should derail any deal.

Great days, Parky, great days

You get the sense he dismisses it altogether though. Probably on the basis Shanks/Jock Stein didn't need this nampy pamby bollocks.

He's old school. Like a dinosaur.

Utterly useless and destructive manager. As everyone except Shepherd expected.

Well said, sir

He seems like a nice bloke from what I've seen of him on telly

Souness mainly seems to bang on about what he wasn't responsible for. So what did he actually do? When you take away transfers, team prep and match prep/tactics, what's left? Dancing & vibes?

He's pretty much injured all the time

I think this is a non-starter. Rafa has repeatedly said he's only interested in players who work hard for the group. I dont think that applies to HBA for all his undoubted gifts.
