This by Norman Hubbard. Seemed on the level and updated through yesterday's news of Manny to Valencia.

Enjoy.

I read that earlier today. Not a bad read, if you ask me.

 

[Blue Wiz]

Interesting read.. with both pros and cons.

The official line is that funds have always been available to David Moyes. Yet he is known for his preference to conclude his business early in any transfer window

well thats bollocks for a start.

well thats bollocks for a start.

Actually, that isn't bollocks.

While it is is "preference," it doesn't always work out that way. I think that's where you and I have issues with Moyes and the gang. They always leave it late.

But I'm glad they do have a "preference" to try and get it done early. Come to think of it, that's probably the preference of every club.

 

[SuitsBlue]

if the money was always there, and the preference is early, then the fernandes shenanigans could have been started months ago.

same goes with the yakubu transfer.

hence: 'bollocks'

 

[Dylan]

So......the official line is bollocks?? Or his statement about wanting to do business early?

 

[SuitsBlue]

its a series of generalities with nothing new to say and no new twist on the existing facts.

give me some insight, give me an exclusive, something i havnt read/heard before.

it appears to me to be a rehash of old stories thrown up while the fernandes iron is hot.

thats why it doesnt get the suits seal of approval. (grade D - must do better)

 

[Dylan]

Hmm, what to do to get the SSA. We should do up a little graphic for the Suits Seal of Approval (SSA). Then you can stamp it on worthy articles

 

[SuitsBlue]

my word isnt gospel (far far from it ) but i might occasionally point out when i think an article, a statement, and idea, is in fact bollocks of the worst degree.

 

[Dylan]

The way I look at it, at least it wasn't a negative article about us.

 

[SuitsBlue]

that just made it worse.

a charade.

the writer on a masquerade.

i can handle a negative write up, so long as its original and thought through.

regurgitating other articles and presenting them as new is rather low in my estimation.
