Reckon we’ll have to wait until he has the naming rights for the new stadium. 1 billion, 5 year deal. Until then he’ll keep a low profile. Then.............boom.

That's not his it works mate.

It's what can we do for the tories. Since the battle of Hastings and the introduction of serfdom we're all slaves to the landowning wealthy knobs.

Mind you they've done a grand job blinding people to the reality.

Well Marxist take on football is that it works in distracting the masses with something superficial, to prevent them caring about the state of real world issues.

Works so well .... just look at wall to wall reality TV.

The TV used to have a remit to educate. That's the last thing our leaders want in their minions.

Unfortunately people have been saying this for 3 years now and it’s not happened. Even if it did, FFP and STCC means that we can’t really throw any more money at what we’re doing than we currently are anyway.

STCC's just been removed. Just FFP limiting clubs to losses of £105m over 3 years now.

Anyone else notice that Schalke are sponsored by Gazprom, probably just a coincidence Kenny went there.

And Vlasic went off to Russia via alleged financing from everyone's favourite oligarch...

Very curious that is and now Vlasic. Smacks of behind the scenes manipulation.

So basically just like any other politician of any party.

Edit; anyway, back on topic, Uzzy top bloke or what, can't wait me.
