    Can't see it mate. Man Utd the brand has been about forever, especially the last 25 years. They will have BIG support from all around the world. This will bring in massive revenue for them.

    Can't see Chelsea or Man City having much support away from the UK, unless they can sustain success for another 20 years. Reckon Liverpool will be behind Man Utd.

    Could be miles out mind <laugh>, Marcus May well be a lot more knowledgable on this particular topic too <ok>

    I honestly wouldn't. I Will never stop smoking weed, ffs it's got so many benefits and easily the best medication I have taken in my life. Big houses, fast cars, luxury holidays and non-stop shagging models would be my lifestyle :)

    The weed is a given, though it's not doing as good a job as it used to.

    You need to have little breaks, don't smoke it all day. Try making cakes and put it in other food for a while. Then start smoking it again. Mix it up mate or it will absolutely stop having the desired effect <ok>

    Or you could get to mine and smoke my cannabis only joints (no tobacco). That will give you the desired effect alright <laugh>

    <laugh> I'm not made of money. I do have breaks as I can't always afford it. Been banging the Trams into me lately, that's helped but again I've got limited access. Back at the quacks in April, Going on Meds. Goodbye soul.

    Couldn't be without it mate. I'm not the stereotype, I could talk face to face with you and I very much doubt you would know I had been smoking it. It doesn't give me the munchies, doesn't make me tired and it most certainly don't make me lazy either. I don't think I've done a days work for my company in 8 years without having a couple of joints during my shift.

    I get where you are coming from though, it is most definitely an aquired 'hit'.

    2 or 3 plants, loft, means constant free weed and no more than a slap on the wrists off the law, if caught. It's worth taking the chance because you will not be in big trouble for growing a few plants for personal use, I can assure you that.

    I'm all for it but my lass has BPD and suffers anxiety. She couldn't cope with thought of being raided let alone actually being raided. I want to grow Sour Diesel, it's medically perfect for both me and my lass. Because of it's anti anxiety properties.

    We're derailing the thread a bit . Sorry Com. <ok>

    Sour Diesel... That's interesting. I medicate with white rhino, when available. That's defo the best for me so far, for my bpd and if I get aches and pains in my body then I use white berry <ok>

    My lass didn't get the choice with me, clean living lass and within 6 months of being with me her house was raided by about 20 of the biggest coppers you could find <laugh>

    I will honestly try and have some sour diesel for you and the missus coming up in the summer (I know it's a maybe), gives me enough time :)

    Rooney pays for himself, the lad, despite being ugly as ****, is a marketing tool which brings in many, many millions to United, contracts nowadays often reflect this, rather than the players ability.

    In terms of bridging the gap, it CAN be done, but it's tough.

    Spurs & Everton have got close to the top 4 by gradual investment, and in Italy, Napoli are now a bona-fide CL club, they were in Serie C 5 years ago.

    Dortmund, admittedly a historical superclub, are back from 4 years ago having to borrow money from Bayern Munich to stay alive, in Spain, Sociedad & Bilbao compete with CL clubs on a budget.

    Problem is, in our little country, players don't wanna be in certain cities, and that can't be changed without a billionaire Sheikh who throws money about like rice.

    Very interesting about Napoli!! Got anymore info to share on how they achieved that? It's an outstanding effort!

    That's like Carlilse having Higuain in the champions league, in 5 years <yikes>

    Basically, the support made the club viable, they are owned by a mega wealthy, but not Billionaire film producer, who also happens to be a lifelong fan.

    How about this, in Serie C the average attendance is less than 3,000. Napoli averaged 51,000. Can you even imagine the smaller teams running out to that?

    They invested heavily in youth and focused on South Americans, Napoli is seen as a massive club there due to Maradona, when in reality they are an also ran club that has won only 2 league titles, so sales at huge profit after good investment lead to profitability, and now, they don't sell, they buy.

    It's a wonderful model, and shows how it CAN be done.

    Look at the bucks they got for Cavani & Lavezzi alone. Did that make them a selling club? No, they reinvested it and now have several players at or around that standard.

    That could be done ANYWHERE with the right staff.
