Maureen has never won the LMA award, he won the Premier League Manager of the Season award both years he won the title.
And this was the guy who came in after Ranieri spent £120M to move Chelsea from 3rd to 2nd, spent another £100M to win the league and no-one talked about FFP, offered Ballack and Shevchenko £150k/week while we desperately broke our maximum wage structure of £30k/week to keep Anelka by paying him £40k/week, then broke it a year later to sign Robbie Fowler, a move that just about sent us broke and forced out our chairman David Bernstein...no mention of FFP then either.
Funny how when there were 4 seats at the trough, adding a fourth swine to the feeding frenzy that is the Champion's League wasn't a problem, but you add a 5th little piggy and the 1 in 4 chance that the filth, the scouse filth or the southern filth might miss out and all of a sudden FFP, with every reason under the sun for it's implementation but the actual truth.
Why the fuck don't they just come out and say it? Why don't they admit to moving the goalposts in order to keep their trotters in the swill of financial unfair money that has poured into the club for close to 20 years now? Why don't they admit they are the powerbrokers behind all the moves that hapless inept clueless wanderer Platini seems to be the point man on? Would it change anything? Would droves of their fans abandon the club because they found out they were this powerful? Their flock of mindless sheep fans went their for that exact reason in the first place, if anything they would gain more sycophantic saps who attach their personal success to the successes of the club they support.
Good to see you back mate.
