Leighton Baines

[davek]

Its Sunday, his day of rest.

He must have got it all in yesterday at their rally in Birmingham.

This thread has got massively off-topic.

Probably because NOTHING IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING.

As I said before United aren't exactly killing themselves to wrap this up. The lads will be going to America for 12 days next weekend.

Can we talk about Leighton Baines in the Leighton Baines thread?

 

[Steve Wigan]

Steve, apologies for any personal attack you might have perceived from my prior response, it wasn't meant as such. I meant it more generally as a commentary on all people who give the shysters who've run this great club for the past 14 years without investing a single shiny penny a free pass.

No problem with what you consider a personal attack, I didn't see it as such because you and your fellow travellers treat any disagreement with you in much the same vein as you. Absolutely nothing personal , but if people address me directly I will reply to them directly. You are now using the word shysters and are castigating the board for not 'investing'...do you mean 'give' or do you mean loan? If the former that never happens unless the givers are so rich they have money to spare, and if you mean 'loan', its already been agreed that the club would not be prudent to borrow more. Anyway...all this should be in another thread. Re Baines I am of the opinion that he won't go, but that he's more likely to go than Fellaini. Moyes does appear to be getting a little desperate, mind you, upping the bid for Fabregas to £30 million plus, and bidding on Cabaye.

Obsessed.

Don,t be fooled by the "we are doing the same as everyone else " tactic. Lets not forget the bought the club for 22m and they will walk out the door with a sale price in excess of a 100million meanwhile It’s thirteen years since Bill Kenwright’s consortium took over the reins from former chairman Peter Johnson in which time the club’s balance sheet has gone from plus £20m to minus £44m due to what fans see as a total lack of investment, selling assets and increasing debt along with a failure to deliver numerous infrastructure projects, an apparent inability to solve our stadium issue, zero success in identifying a much needed new owner and, most painful of all, no trophies in a period of time when those across the park have won eleven with teams which at times haven’t been fit to lace our boots.

Smacks that nail right on the head, well said D410, this should be regarded as the definitive statement on our club's finances and management under BK et al.

Baines - "The Club" should be getting on the front foot with Baines we seem to be just waiting for another bid from man u. Why are we not getting pro active? We should tell UTD this is the price xx mil either pay up before we go to America or stick the new contract under baines pen. If the lad goes in Aug it will be a low for the club going into the new season.

 

[Groucho]

Fixed.

I know you probably see this as 'banter' but it just serves to make our job harder.

I don't see it as "banter" but it probably shouldn't be in here. Apologies.

 

[EFCNIK]

Good grief.
