Rival watch

A maximum wage for kids would go down like a lead zeppelin but might prove beneficial in the long term for all concerned.

 

All someone like the oil clubs need to do is to pay them or their parents out of another source and the issue's moot. Citeh's owners sponsor themselves as do Leicester. Only a complete idiot or someone who cares nothing for the rules would allow it. Only someone rich beyond measure would do it. It's obviously cheating but the governing bodies say not. I wonder why?

Everton's training ground [that nobody's ever heard of barring Everton fans and the bloke who delivers the milk] is sponsored by a Russian gas company [that nobody in England has ever heard of] for millions of pounds a year. Why? Could it be that the owner of the gas co. is Usmanov and that Moshiri, the Everton owner and Usmanov's bag man, needs to get money into Everton so that they can afford Rooney's bar bills. The deal is obviously a complete sham but the FA and UEFA don't see it. Usmanov puts millions in. Moshiri pays for the next few lunches and Bob's yer uncle. Everton can pay Roney's bar bills and legal fees.

All you need is the odd FA, UEFA or FIFA crook with a hole in their pension plan and it's game on. Hell, even Barca and Real Madrid are being made to beg for help because their rights to lead the officials around by the nose are being infringed.

 

£581M revenue with an operating profit of £81M announced by Utd.
Michael Knighton bid £20M for the club just over a quarter of a century ago.
Mind boggling figures.

 

We nearly went into liquidation for owing £23m in 1991.

That's £7m less than a Sissoko

 

I bet the Balance Sheet is less healthy though. Didn't the Glazers rack up the debt enormously.

 

If those profits are AFTER the Glazers have taken out
money for that year to service their debt burden, then all
is good with Man Utd.

 

Sissoko could well bankrupt us all emotionally at this rate!!

 

Sissoko has had a few half decent games apart from his finishing, give the bloke a break.

 

If Kane had finished the simple chance that Sissoko gave him against Swansea, we'd be hailing the turnaround. All you can ask of a player is to give their all, and he is doing that. If he's not the right player that is the fault of the club.

 

Looks like you and I SD are the founder members of the Sissoko fan club, any other takers?

 

When you think that the pre-injury fire sale cost for Gazza at
that time was quoted at around 11m, you could have got 3
Gazzas in 1991 for the cost of one Sissoko now.

 

It was tongue in cheek...... Chill!!

 

We in the Mousa Sissoko fan club (how did I....?) take any negative comments about him very seriously. We would thank you to remember this with any future public utterances.

When he's one on one with the keeper, expletives are allowed.

 

I think that Poch might be, he is definitely giving him more game time and we have seen glimpses of the footballer that was at the Euros last year, he is currently looking like an important squad player. A couple of key contributions might see his confidence improve too and then even more of us will be joining the club.

 

Noted the opening of the transfer window in my calendar...mainly because that's also the date where Diego Costa buggers off.

 

I'm in.
He's doing alright and his attitude seems positive.
A goal might do wonders for his confidence.
Keeps making decent runs and taking up good positions, but doesn't get put in.

 

I'm half and half a bit like sissoko dunno which way to go .but as he wears a spurs shirt I will back him to come good

 

I'll join up too - for life - if he scores the winner on Saturday then moons to the Porn Bros and Brady!!

 

I was just doing my predictions for the week and was a little puzzled for a second.
"Arsenal are playing on Monday? But it's a Champions League week... oh!"

I have to say though, I think it's wrong that they're playing that day, then they have a game on Thursday.
Fly back from Belarus and they've got a game midday on Sunday.
The Europa League scheduling is **** for teams in England, then everyone complains when they don't take it seriously or do badly.
