Lol..

£6bn? That was last weeks price.

 

[Judge Jules]

I wonder if they never really intended to sell but thought an apparently serious attempt to do so might dampen the fan discontent down a bit, set a high price, then were surprised when offers quite near to what they said they wanted actually started to come in.

It's all good anyway.

That’s made my feckin day that as.

 

[Woland]

Article is very probably bullshit, but if it's true it makes it a lot more likely that we'll be state owned sooner rather than later.

I just hope this doesn't mean KFC boy has accidentally got something right

It's not David Ornstein, it's the Mail, so don't take it as gospal

 

[Dreambeliever]

Fuck them.

 

[Markeh]

Can we not keep PSG as a feeder club?

 

[Silver Sean]

Remember when we didn't know about any of this shite and could just concentrate on the football? Halcyon days!

Is it beyond the realms of possibility that the Glazers' used the interest to drive the value of the club up, which would allow them to borrow more against the new value?

In the current climate - what would the point of borrowing more be?

Is there a point at which they have to refinance their loans and their repayments jump to the point of crippling them?

 

[Squiggles]

I'm glad United are less likely to be state owned force. They already spend big, but that would likely mean they go up another level. Plus they might actually sort out the operations of the club behind the scenes. From our POV the Glazers are doing a terrific job and long may their reign.

Whether the Qataris come for us I don't know. I hope not for all the obvious reasons, but even on a footballing perspective they seem shite. PSG are arguably the most hated team in Europe and they've been badly managed from the top down since the takeover.

I couldn't care a fuck about sport washing considering amount of shit my country the UK has been upto in the last 400 years.
Bring in the cash and the trophies with it. Ligue 1 is farmers league and the Prem is one too, if the Qatari can turn us in to serial winners, I'm okay with it.

This is probably a concise definition of everything that’s wrong with football today.

Sancho having issues, they're looking to offload him it seems. No way would we be in for him - it just doesn't happen but I can see him doing well with the right coach

[Markeh]

They say they arranged a private doctor to treat her at Antony’s request, it was not one of their own doctors

 

[Judge Jules]

In other words the point she's making is substantially correct and they're using weasel words to try and slide out from under.

Despicable club.

 

[rubans]

That’s a whole new level of cover up.

And people question why I don’t want the Arabs to buy us.

More girls have come out against Antony. So there's 3 in total now

Can't wait for his staunch defenders to come out

If only he’d installed a CCTV system in his house/apartment - he’d be be able to protect himself against these gold-digging nasty women!!!

 

[Modo]

Oh Anthony did that shit...

Nope no chance. He’s done at the highest level.
