HIAG just posted this on the United board about Daniel Levy.

"He manages to make a massive profit off the back of trading players."

Is that the prime objective of a man who is tasked with running a mighty juggernaut?
 
...and when Stan back with (what he thought was a clever, but we know it more as) an attempt at a smarmy putdown, this was my reply:-


Oh, dear! Another "clever" remark, Stan! You like the punishment, don't you, Stan?

Every top club in the top flight, that hasn't had a sugar-daddy to bail it out and make up for financial incompetence, has had to look carefully at how it trades its players. Some players we've sold because Levy has been given little choice (Berbatov, Modric, Bale), but most of the players we've sold have been due to the normal rotation (or churn) that one would expect to find in any well-managed club.

Levy has clearly managed this side of the club extremely well. Only a cretin would try to suggest otherwise.

Other parts of the club's administration I would be critical of, such as his record in hiring and firing managers. Whilst it hasn't necessarily been the worst, it certainly hasn't been the best.

Then again, very few chairman are perfect, Stan. You, above anyone, ought to be well aware of that fact, right now.

You should have stayed in bed this morning, Stan. You're getting your arse roundly kicked!

Nice rant. Very similar to your rant on the United board.
 
You're typing so rabidly now that your grammar is suffering.

No. It was a mere typo, that I have now corrected.

Thanks for pointing that out to me, though, Stan. It's a whole lot easier proof-reading my posts than responding to them in a substantive manner, and having to think.
 
Tottenham-born pop star Adele gave her support to Spurs' Premier League title challenge by unfurling a club banner during a gig in London on Monday. (Evening Standard)

Now, that's a bit sexier than Chas n Dave.
