    Maybe so, but the comparison escapes me. RVP may well have asked for a transfer, and insisted on where he wanted to go, but Arsenal still got recompense. Maybe that makes him a Judas in their eyes, but in reality, he knew the best part of his career would soon be over, and he wanted to win something.

    The real Judas is just duplicitous scum.

    Oh...

    How have ours been disastrous?

    Not great but I think your going a bit far, they have been brilliant in every way bar the way they acquired the club. The simple fact is they dont get involved in the football side and thats all you can ask of owners. We have had financial backing and success without any off the pitch bullshit like at other clubs.

    Also dont worry Spurs fans. We've got plenty of cash to splash.

    Norwich have gone with a catchy slogan for their new away kit launch:

    Doesn't quite carry the same message when you use the bit that they left out.

    Let's start with saddling the club with a mountain of debt, followed by having to pay huge amounts of interest on loan repayments as a result of this.

    Then there's various members of the Glazer family lining their pockets with "consultant's fees" over the years.

    And there's the Glazer's pocketing half of the money raised on a share issue.

    Oh, and "borrowing" money from the club, and paying it back from the club's coffers rather than out of their own pockets.

    They don't get involved in the football side, but they certainly get involved with siphoning money out of the club which they treat as their own personal ATM.

    Of course some of the things they have done are ****ish but I mean, if we were a PLC there would be more money taken from the club to pay shareholder so the Glazers taking money from the club they own is hardly something exclusive to United.

    The debt is the main issue but they have more than done enough to show they are working on it. It will be gone soon anyway.

    The shar issue.....again, they won the club so why wouldnt they. Ask yourself, if you profited from something you own, would you expect some money from it? If not and you are ever selling your house, drop me a PM and I will take your profit off you ( if of course you own a house and make a profit ).

    The share issue was announced as a way of raising funds for the club - not Glazer saying "one pound for you, one pound for me" several millions times.

    So Real have now told Arsenal that Higuain will cost £37m! They really are a bunch of arseholes aren't they? They're like the Internacional of Europe.

    We couldn't do anything until Ancelotti had left PSG for Madrid, by which time PSG were preparing a bid that Napoli couldn't turn down. Doesn't suit your Wenger bashing stance, but there you go <ok>

    why couldn't you? Clubs buy and sell players in between managers.

  18. What really makes me laugh is that so many Gooners actually believed it when they were fed the pap that their club had money to spend.
    <laugh>


    Even if there is any money, Whinger won't spend it. He is far too afraid of spending big money and ending up with a Torres or a Carroll on his hands. His own pathetic pride is what has hampered AFC's progress for 8 solid years.

    Not really, most clubs need their manager to sanction the purchase and sale of a player (unless you're chelsea <laugh>)
