the rags are really on a slippery slope

I've amended the post to include just some of the basic and most important facts from the article. Hopefully that should be enough to prevent any problems.

It is quite a large gap in revenues that!! With their commercial revenues falling and ours going up, it is looking very nice indeed!

Thanks for that Gav. Apologies for creating work for you.

It was only a matter of time.  The CFG model has been reviewed and praised by several financial publications as revolutionary.  A couple of good reads from Forbes show the financial impact of the CFG model.  The writer makes a really valid point when he states that the American owners of Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal are more concerned with taking money out of the club, rather than investing.  It's not really surprising that these 3 clubs were the ringleaders of the SL.

Just look how sick he looks when he compares us to Celtic. He actually knows that they're foooked underneath it all.

Love that last bit at the end.

"We're shit".

The only thing he said that's correct


Was talking to the brother in law the other day and he mentioned he wants to go to London, and asked if I'd been. I said ye but only to Wembley so haven't really seen London properly. Then had to ask him if he knew what Wembley was and had to explain to him that it was where teams go for cup finals

Oh indeed, how times have changed!!

[gavin]

I never knowingly talk to a rag unless it is to take the piss. So I talk to them a lot more than I used to.

Wahay!
