How Ruuuud

Exactly - RvN may get us relegated ... but the majority of LCFC fans seem excited by his appointment and even the prospect of a Championship rebuild under him instead of the dire unambitious fare that was being served up by Steve Cooper with his journeyman acquisitions...

Wouldn't be FA Cup third round weekend without a Friday night all Prem tie on TV.
 
Our owners are suing the Italian helicopter company that manufactured the aircraft that the late Chairman died in for £2.15 billion - the largest Fatal Accident claim in English Legal History ...

No details of whether this is just the family or partly the football club in terms of the legal action - but one of the elements within the claim is 'loss of earnings' ...

Now the conspiracist in me is raising an eyebrow - if any 'loss of earnings' is deemed to be for the football club and the claim is successful ... it is likely that the sums received would get apportioned across each accounting period from the date of the accident until the date of settlement... and whilst compensation of that size would normally be categorised as 'exceptional income' in each accounting period - the fact that it would represent 'loss of earnings' could potentially bring it within 'exceptional operating income' ... and therefore within FFP/PSR offsetable income... <whistle>

Wish Tobes was still here - he was brilliant at blowing such contrived speculations out of the water. :biggrin:
 
Some sort of "special kit".

Hmm. 'fraid we all do that for away kits, but at home for the FA Cup? One of the most iconic kits in world football - just seems a grubby merchandising thing, unless it celebrates some date or suchlike.
 
I normally love an old school kit with no sponsor but this one just looks dreadful.

This was ours for our 125th anniversary which is the only shirt I've bought as an adult:

It's an 150th anniversary kit.

Okay, makes sense. For an away kit. Bit like United wearing the Newton Heath kit. Which they only did for away matches.

One day we'll wear our original blue and white stripes.... not. :emoticon-0105-wink:
