Kevin Carr's Gloves

exactly. Liverpool have one trophy in the cupboard, are 7th in the league and in the semi final of another major cup, to "show for their money". These sort of knee jerk short term reactions, based on one season or a short run of results, that try to "prove" selling and replacing is a viable alternative to genuine ambition and building and improving, are a joke. Anybody who knows anything about football knows such policies do not succeed in the long run. I would say that the new model of sell and replace has never been tried in the long run. Yes teams in the lower divisions have sold and then replaced but have they had the opportunity to scout the globe and look for players possibly better than what they sold. The answer has to be no. However We are trying to improve our financial standing as well as on the pitch. This has to be done to fit in with eufa's fair play rules. Does anyone know how many clubs actually adhere to the new rules?

I know I shouldn't but. Perhaps In MA's world (not saying he is right) if you owe £140,000,000 and someone gives you £35,000,000 then that means you now just owe £105,000,000. Obviously I am simplifying and paraphrasing but perhaps that is how he looks at the situation.

I like how they are now saying MON has done wonders with a shit squad. Are these not the same supporters saying Bruce was ruining a great squad. I definitely remember them saying only Chik Tiote would possibly get in their team. They are also looking forward to him being given a aboat load of money to spend close season. I do not think this is going to happen. They seem to have lost money last season when they sold Bent and Henderson who are they going to sell this season? Will be happy if Dogleash buys McLean for £20 mill like.

So they could have £40 mill in the accounts and still be running at a loss?

American literary prizes. Can people in America read then?

Are they not up til end of July 2011 so should include both the Henderson and Bent money?

The England captain isn't in prison though is he? For shouting ''fuck off you black cunt''. I suppose he is a millionaire.... And hasn't been tried yet. Hopefully he is found guilty and has to receive the same sort of punishment.

As I pointed out before his dad is one of the top agents in the business.

But isn't CHelsea and Man city's turn over crap? And doesn't Man u's debt cripple them as well?

Does this mean the end of Manchester city esque club buyouts. No one can come in and buy a league anymore. Good if it's true like.

I'd rub Ashley's cock to get a win against the dippers.

Penshaw Monument serves no purpose, when I was a bairn I thought it was built by the Romans or something, but nope it's only about 150 years old. from Wikipedia: On Easter Monday, 1926 a 15-year-old boy, Temperley Arthur Scott, fell to his death from the top of Penshaw Monument. The boy was with three friends and 20 other people when the accident happened. They had got to the roof through the spiral staircase situated within one of the pillars. Witnesses said that the boys went round the roof walkway twice before deciding to make a third circuit. However, Scott fell trying to avoid the other visitors by passing around an open end where there was no protecting wall. Afterwards the spiral staircase to the roof was closed and remained so until a special opening on 29th August 2011, when the public were granted access to the spiral staircase and views from the top of the Monument. This was an initial test to see if it was popular enough to open again for future one-off days. The National Trust did not take bookings, the public simply turned up on the day. It was so popular (over 2000 people), not all those who turned up got to go to the top of the Monument. Many were forced to leave their contact details and will be given priority on the next open day. How bored do you have to be? really? It is on top of a brigantes hill fort so does have some historical interest.

Surely though Penshaw Monument, Washington Old Hall and the kite festival (Washington) aren't really in Sunderland just it's fairly recently changed council boundaries.

Was Gordon Strachan not more successful at Celtic than Martin o'Neill with half the transfer budget and a third of the wage bill?

O'Neills football is atrocious. His main tactic is get an early goal and defend it. His first moves at Celtic were to ensure they stopped shipping goals. he then got Hartson and Sutton and managed to win some stuff.

He has gone one of the most punchable faces out there. Also completely ripped of Stewart Lee's montreal set and tried to pass it off as his own. But he must be good to get as far as he has.... Or his dad being Judi Dench's (and others) agent got him far beyond his natural talent.

the success of the overall policy, is determined by league positions over time. Mike Ashley has a long, long way to go before you can even start to compare, but who is talking about the old regime here ? I'm talking about the lack of ambition of the current regime, something you won't accept, and you have also forgot about yourself proclaiming non-stop a few years ago how this DOF system would bring automatic success, before it was binned by Redknapp at the Spurs you held up as the perfect example under Ramos and Comolli, and also used it as some sort of proof that the NUFC regime headed by Wise was superior to that managed by Keegan, at the time. So what was different between Enrique refusing to sign a new deal and Bernard doing the same? Although the irony of you complaining about a DOF while in a thread praising the transfer policy of a club that employs a DOF does tickle me. I was chuckling at the contradiction there too.

I think you are fairly safe in your claim Liverpool won't sell Carroll on for a profit I've always been fairly safe when I said that replacing the old board with better would be extremely difficult, despite the idiots on NO who disagreed so much with me. Not that it ought to have taken rocket science to see that, chum, but apparently it did. Sometimes the obvious just doesn't sink in with some people. You are not wrong there.

We are now closer to Man city than Rangers are to Celtic.

Liverpool accused of inciting racial hatred. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/21022012/58/premier-league-reds-incited-racial-intolerance.html

So the SUn reckons that 8 Premier League clubs have been dodging tax the way Rangers did. Could we be one of them? Should we be worried?

So America is going to give Alaska back to the Russians then?

I am ignoring all gossip cos it seems all our transfers these days are well under the radar.

So you also think the Labour Government is beyond reproach and not worthy of criticism? Who's making assumptions now? I was just laughing at you calling him thick as a diversionary tactic for not being able to answer his points tbh. I keep out of this sort of shit because it's not really my thing and I don't understand much beyond the basics. I do find the input of the likes of Chez enlightening though. You're clearly just repeating rhetoric however. As evidenced by your refusal to answer the questions you're being asked. You're out of your depth but won't admit it imo. He didn't ask me any questions He did like, thicko. Fuck you prick.

The huge spending cuts are up for debate depending on your standpoint about how best to bolster the economy or feed the deficit. However Millibands recent statements about economic realism suggest that the Labour Party may be changing their tack on how to spend out of a recession. I would also throw into the mix the whole dependency on a service economy and then the willingness to enable companies to move said service jobs offshore. http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2003/dec/06/politics.money http://www.out-law.com/page-4277 http://www.cwu.org/union-disbelief-as-hewitt-has-no-problem-with-off-shoring.html?archive_page=4
