    Yes. They are con men. They make out without them the MKM would be a blood bath. And the SAG go along with it with their over zealous stewarding. Baz Cooper doesn’t help saying last season that there had been an increase in trouble at football matches “particularly at the MKM”. Figures for arrests would dispute that. Any figures for how many have arrested for the bottle throwing (or hand grenades) at the derby.

    Except some on here who likened the 'feral' youths in the North Stand to 'Peaky Blinder' style open razor carriers who'd stab you in a minute...

    Marcus Rashford crashed his £700,000 Range Rover into a car being driven by a 74-year-old grandmother, it was been reported, before immediately checking to see if she was okay and swapping insurance details.

    The football star bumped his swanky car outside Manchester United's Carrington training ground at around midnight last Saturday, damaging both cars and mowing down a traffic light camera post.

    The forward and the woman, who was said to be returning home from babysitting, were reportedly left shaken and were breathalysed on the spot by police officers ,
    now tell me this lot are in the real world £700 k Range Rover obscene

    Money in football is obscene however I’ve just googled top price Range Rover and got £191k. Could be wrong but can’t see a Range Rover at £700k.

    Thought it was a Rolls Royce? No less obscene though.

    that would make an interesting stat, given that the only occurrence of an away team reaching double figures in the football league/pl set-up was back in 1892 when burslem port vale (you decide whether it's the same club now) lost 0-10 at home to, yes, sheffield united.

    Nottingham Forest on promotion bought twenty odd players. So far so good, they are still in the promised land. wages to income? Has to be the wrong side of the line.
    Chelsea have spent nigh on a billion quid to be, err, well, they have spent nigh on a billion quid.


    Is this owner a billionaire? Own a country? Is Hull City a brand, with the added value that brings? Up until the day, or, if we ever return to the prem, we will never really know how it is to be funded. You want to dream, the excitement, the glamour, the bullshit, the VAR, the cheating fannies, the influenced, albeit indirectly, referees, a handball rule that is a handball one time and not handball the next. Aye lad, you dream.

    It was Rolls Royce, there's no such thing as a £700k Range Rover and it's as easy to crash as any other car, probably easier as it's massive. Some people in the real world can afford nice cars, 'twas always thus.

    I just like seeing City win, whatever league they're in, winning L1 in 20/21 was great. But I don't begrudge the club and players wanting PL money.
