Does Anyone Actually Know?

Neil · August 8, 2008

I know this is a difficult question, but does anyone actually know what is going on, anyone with solid club connections?

amablueski · August 8, 2008

In a word no, cos i doubt the club even knows whats going on.

Gazdalf has a good idea when it comes to transfers.

Neil · August 8, 2008

Gazdalf, do you know mate?

isnt that what kenwright is gonna get if we have to 'watch this space' much longer ?

but sensibly , no i dont know what the hells going on. but i know i dont like it at all.

to be honest, what people know, and what people don't know will be harder to find. As no matter how often people are right, if they are wrong once they get shat on. And for that reason lips start getting sealed and you are left with rumours.

But he was right about 10 times before that.

Listen Gazdalf, I understand you can't get it right all the time.

If you have any info it would be great if you are willing to share. Even if what you say doesn't come off, I for one (and I'm sure there are many more who just read the forums on here without posting) will believe that you are letting us know in good faith.

We are all in the same boat here, it is criminal what is happeneing to our club at the moment, just when we seemed to be getting somewhere. I honestly thought after the Euro's had finished Moyes would have signed straight away and by now we would have spent around £25m and be looking forward to the season starting.

How on earth has it got like this, a few questions below (I don't expect answers, these are just going round in my head):

Where is the £12m we had to spend on Manny last summer?
Where is the £5m we got for Faddy in Jan?
Why won't Moyes sign?
Where is the extra money we got for finishing 5th (£45m)?
How much was riding on the new stadium getting the go ahead?

I'm sure we mere fans will never know the real answers to these questions, but lets hope when we wake on 1st September we have a squad that can really push on and challenge the top 3 and Europe.

Fingers crossed gentlemen.

Where is the £12m we had to spend on Manny last summer? Wyness has a chronic gambling addiction, he spunked this money all on a horse (incidentally named "Worm Burp") and it didnt come in. He put it all on the nose otherwise we would have been able to afford a David Nugent with what was left.

Where is the £5m we got for Faddy in Jan? Birmingham owner David Gold gave us a blag cheque, we're gutted. We threatened to report him but he said he would set Karren Brady on us and we're not having that. We've started proposals to get watermarks on cheques to avoid this happening in future.

Why won't Moyes sign?
The truth of the matter is that he put out his thumb playing Mario Kart on a Super-Nes whilst on holiday in June. He simply cant hold a pen, let alone sign a contract. Plus, his latest contract demand, he's asked for jacket spuds to be thrown in on a daily basis in the canteen - we've had to go to Phillip Green to get this signed off, its looking promising as long as he doesnt choose more than two toppings and swerves the salmon option.

Where is the extra money we got for finishing 5th (£45m)?
In a bid to calm supporters nerves at the tail end of last season, when we were pish, we passed this money over to the Afghan Taliban in exchange for a load of them opium poppies. We crushed them down and slipped them in the half time pies, bovril and coffee. Mostly the bovril like. Sales went up, and everyone booed less when captain Phil Neville passed to the opposition, again.

How much was riding on the new stadium getting the go ahead?
Everything. That Bradley cat is one bad snide. We're hoping to employ a local sniper to get him silenced. We seen this lid the over day in town shooting with the gun held over his forearm when pulling the trigger, Equalizer style leather gloves and all that, we've made him an offer and we're awaiting his formal reply.

I'm sure we mere fans will never know the real answers to these questions, but lets hope when we wake on 1st September we have a squad that can really push on and challenge the top 3 and Europe.

Fingers crossed gentlemen.
