Master man manager, this LVG. Just needed Rooney and Carrick to help him out a bit and now he's even better.


Oh, he's not the only one ... apparently everyone else who has left is because of him ... and rest are stuck because window is now closed, ha ha ha ha!

I've had enough of being spoon fed this meagre gruel. It looks like shite, and it tastes like shite. Ta-ra, Brendan. Ta-ra, John. We've seen enough of this shite already.


This is off RAWK.Dippers not happy lol.

It really would be funny if they ended up with Fat Sam.
I'd go on RAWK just for a laugh.


Although he'd keep them up. They could do worse.

To be fair, Klopp has done things Rodgers could only dream of in the game, on a very tight budget too. Rodgers has spent 300m, and look at us


Fucking amazed at that amount spent.

They've sold nearly as much though. Them and Spurs have this shit policy of buying loads of players then selling their best ones and replacing em with a handful of aways okayers. More players don't win things, better players do.

Talksport is advertising their hospitality tickets for the derby. You'd think they might leave them unsold to save the embarrassment

That's bollox mate. The dippers have only really made money from Suarez and even with that they have a deficit of about 90 mil over the last 3 seasons. In comparison, we have a deficit of approx 260 million, nearly 3 times as much, but was has to be remembered is what we are in for, and it's not just Europa league. And how much are our players worth now, if we sold them today?

Dippers, and Rags for that instance, are a false economy.

Just off the top of my head you're forgetting Torres and sterling both leaving for big fees.

Now as for whose squad is in Bette r shape you'll get no argument. They've bought shit, but as I said when you get a superstar and sell them with the idea of spending the cash on multiple players it rarely works. They sell loads of players, but keep trying to buy cheap replacements and fill holes, doing so very poorly in my opinion.

Not disagreeing about the shit players, just the amount spent. I think spurs have spent very little (net) and are still challenging the Dippers for the Europa space but then you look at the likes of the Saints and you realise just how badly Brentan is running the club.

In times gone bye he would be looking at 6 month ban under Fergie the defeat would be burried in a bad tackle storm.

Keane has said today that it was a 'brilliant' tackle. He's right to be fair.

I see their revenue was down to £390M ish - and 16M of that is snaffled by the Glazers.

The predictions I read in May said that United would post about 390 and City be up to about 380.

Just light the blue touchpaper and stand back when they realise how close we are when the City figures come out.

To be fair Scum being back in CL and also with massive deals to come on stream should see them pull away again, but it will be fun while it lasts!!

DailyMail seems to think we are crossing them ...

"Manchester City set to overtake rivals Manchester United in financial stakes with club record turnover as Reds count cost of no Champions League football last season"

But don't you know that all our sponsorship deals a re shady and come from The Sheik, his family and friends......in Nissan and the likes.
And all their deals are well earned and squeaky clean.....like the Chevy deal. Where does the guy who negotiated that work now. Wasn't he sacked 48 hours later?

Overtaking the rags off the field, as well as on it, will be sweet, even if it's only for a year until their agreement with Chevrolet kicks in. Maybe by that time though we will have renegotiated our sponsorship deals as they now look low in comparison and we will overtake them again

Not sure about that. Don't they have a huge Adidas deal as well.
