The Takeover Rumour Thread.

[Clint Planet]

Didn't player wages and transferfees not increase immensly during that time too?

Careful, Belg. You'll be run out of town with that sort of factual posting if you're not careful.

Luís Figo Barcelona Real Madrid £44m €60m 2000

Cristiano Ronaldo Manchester United Real Madrid £80m €94m 2009

Nope.

 

[Neiler]

so can you remember smith getting appointed? was johnson bad then? can you remember us spend £25/30m (which at that time was loads) in one summer? was johnson bad then?

like i said johnson fooked us over but kenwright is also fooking us over but imo by a lot more!

He heaped the debt on the club mate, then got shut of said Materazzi and Dacourt, not to mention anyone else who was ace, he was like the first Randy.

Nope.

To be fair though, Figo was immense. Badly gash right backs, think Glen Johnson, didn't move for £18m in 2000.

Not an apologist, just being objective. FWIW I can't make a case for either Hamperman or Luvvy Bill.

Can't we just agree they were both sh*te chairmen?! Not necessarily their fault but both a bit crap for what is needed in the modern game?

No, I'm enjoying this discussion far too much to let it be ruined by your logic.

Come on guys, this is the TAKEOVER THREAD. Not the talk in endless circles about this years crap vs yesteryears crap!

And another thing, this Billionaire sheik thing is an absolute joke. Come on guys, we all know it's not really happening or going to happen.

It is fun to dream, but lets get realistic. We will get taken over some time, but until then, if the rumour seems too good to be true, then it probably is.

I heard this rumour originated on Goal.com, isn't that one of the non reputable sources?

 

[Sharpys top lip]

Can we please just get a new one..

pretty please..

 

[Deleted member 28206]

Bravo for the hamperman shout.


I've been to his head office in brown shoes land btw.

 

[Walter Ego]

Have we been taken over yet or what?

yeah i know he did!

and so under kenwright we dont have to sell players anymore then?

all im saying is johnson went for it in 1 season he saw the champs league money and went for it! but smith fooked it!

kenwright hasnt even done that yet we are in a worse finacial state than ever before!

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I worked at high st vouchers when he resigned and Johnson came to look over the new building. Started humming z cars as he went past my desk. He gave me a dirty look but never said anything.

 

[Dutch Toffee]

Have we been taken over yet or what?

Yep, by some former Greece President.

 

[sirblue57]

the only difference for me is;
one FA cup.
ones a blue.

neither one will leave us in a better position,financially, than they took over. so its 6 and half a dozen to me.
