I listen to youtube while working, usually music, but after a particularly bad result I find Arse-hole fan TV and that rag shite run by that Brent bloke from Nottingham (who also pretends to be called Sandra? on Twitter!?) hilarious, and after listening to Brent after the Sevilla loss I found it so amusing and satisfying that only now is it dawning on them that they have the only manager in World Football who will not only completely disregard what the fans want, the more they want it the more he will do the exact opposite!

The more the morons shout attack, the more Peg will think "eff you, I'm the manager". The more they boo a player (like microphone head) the more Peg will play him, the more they whinge about anything the more he will come out and say "Eff off to you all."

It's brilliant and I'm effing loving it! Of all the managers they could have at the swamp they have the one that does nothing long term, that picks a fight with everyone and anyone, and seems to take pleasure in the battles he creates! Effing magic, thanks Peg, he's doing a better job that Moysey or Mr Long Balls could ever done, which is saying something, and the muppets have just given him another contract!

Enjoy that Brent you weirdo cross dressing Forest fan!

The Sanchez saga is brilliant for us. It sucks plenty of money from their wage budget which could have been put to better use. Nobody will pay him those wages, so he is there for the long run. Even if he tries to do a Rooney and move to his boyhood club, they will still have to pay part of his wages.
It also is a good warning for other players that City while offering good money, offer even better footballing reasons to join. Better to make your own history rather than sign for a club that is history...

Our policy is to pay up to a maximum of our valuation of a players value as transfer fee then a fair salary for his current worth.
If and when he improves and fits in with Peps team plan he gets a wage increase.
Compare this with Uniteds policy which expects a player to have immediate impact and demonstrate his salary from the start.

Every player is a gamble but why pay massive money initially ?

To ensure they are all over the back pages of the tabloids. I never buy papers but I always skim through them in the supermarket and there is always, always a rag-related story in the sports section. Same online when you click on the BBC football site and you get all the gossip, it's just a constant stream of rag propaganda.

Yes, I suppose it keeps the fans happy whilst they get on with making more money at the commercial end of the operation.
Also commercially they can sell on and take the loss on the chin, make more money than they spend, then buy the next ´´must have´´ that we or their fans have indicated.

Currently we continue to build a football team whilst United concentrate on expanding their commercial earnings with football success being a secondary consideration to their owners.

United have developed the cloggers football approach which was to ´´never mind the ball lets get on with the game´´ to an accountancy approach which states ´´never mind the team lets get on with profits´´.

I can't believe that I am going to offer some defence to Sanchez but here goes:
last year I spoke with a well known ex pro, former international and premier league player and one of the things that came up was about life after retirement. he said a few things that made me really think as I had not really considered them before.

1. No matter what you earn you live a lifestyle that reflects it and it is very hard to change. In short if you are earning £100k per week it is very difficult to then adjust to living to say £300k per year. you get used to luxuries such as holiday homes, cars personal assistants etc..
2. You never know who is screwing you over, there are lots of agents etc.. who look after your affairs and they are loyal to you while working. However once you dry up as a money cow you see how much of your investments do not actually come to you directly.
3. He said something like 60% of marriages end in divorce within 5 years of the end of a players career and these are usually very expensive and drawn out, again leeches trying to cream a much money as possible.
4. In short, because of all of the above never turn down the opportunity to feather the nest as you are a long time retired and not everyone walks into a media job.

Sure they are not penny pinching but even so it made me re assess my opinion.

I am sure you may have a point but very few will have sympathy for folk forced to live on 300k a year. Of course there is an adjustment process but a lot will depend on how level headed and sensible players are when the are earning the mega money. Personally I would think that the sudden change in ones routine after leaving football would be just as traumatic as the salary cut.

Same here... then I put magazines in front of the Rag magazine : )
 
At some point in the next 24 months, the rags will reach the point where they have to sell big to buy big.
