And a good creative accountant to massage the figures to comply with the new fairplay rules. :twisted:

Talk is that Modric will be departing for United soonish. If he does go I hope we get a replacement that's worthy of that position.

Just seen this, looks like United mean business, they've already signed Kagawa who's a bit good.

I think Spurs will be starting a new cycle now, with a few important players leaving.

And maybe Super `Arry Redknapp as well.

'Arry made noises yesterday about the fact he only has a year left on his contract and his position needs resolving, as players take into account such things when considering their future? :?

Calling his chairman out, from the golf course, on Sky Sports News. Stay classy 'Arry.

Loyalty? Just ask Portsmouth and Southampton fans what they think.

I really hope I'm made to eat my words but you know my stance on the way I think Spurs are gonna pan out.

Hopefully some 'Sugar Daddy' will buy us out. That's the next step of evolution in the football world nowadays. When you look at the league in 20 years time every team in the 'Premier' (the name will most likely have changed since then) will be owned buy the extremely wealthy. That's something we have to look forward too BTW. Every team will have the best footballers at their disposal and it will once again come down to team spirit and management.

Every cloud 'n all that.

I'm hoping the clubs can sell their own TV rights. Liverpool will comfortably be top 4 biggest earners in Football then. :thumb:

Although I probably wouldn't complain if we'd got City's owners I can't say I'm a fan of that type of "success".

It's kinda of a good thing in it's way. If nobody else started spending silly money United would have continued to do so shamelessly, thus making our league one of Scottish standards.

Because other teams have reached, and somewhat overtaken, the mammoth spending/salaries that United brought into the game other teams actually have a chance and we are fortunate to have the most exciting football league in the world (look at what happened last year).
