Not an agenda post, I myself have even grown tired of that now. A serious question though on this pal. Would it not make more sense for Sky to 'jump ship', so to speak, and focus the attention you think they focus on United onto us? If United are going down hill at an alarming rate, Moyes not cutting it and them becoming a club resembling anything but the club they've resembled since Sky came in, would it not make sense in them latching onto us and what we are doing? I can clearly see the point people make about a business side of an agenda, (though some, infact no - most of the posts on here about it are absurd), and with Chelsea not being taken over by an actual country like we have, maybe they've not been worth latching onto. With the fan base worldwide what we now have, and continue to attract, would it not make sense for them to fuck United off and have us as their so called 'cash cow'?de niro said:

Sky surely realise with this appointment they have hitched their wagon to a falling star but the consequences are just to horrible for them to admit.

Just to echo the views on Sky.... I can't see them latching onto us, possibly with Chelsea if Mourinho goes there or Arsenal if they starring spending big.

Seems Gollum and Taggart have more in common than just Scottish miserableness.

Moyes interview on sky - Said he was preparing to start a new season with Everton, and the rag offer came completely out of the blue.
David Meek said that even last week when they were writing the programme notes, that Baconface was talking about the next season and coming years like he was still going to be there. No mention of retiring.
So it begs the question...WAS HE PUSHED?
Did he tell the board about his hip operation and having a few months off, and they mentioning the subject of retiring, followed by him spitting his dummy out and throwing in the towel?
All seems abit spur of the moment.

The world is about to change. No way will the Slurgie loving journo's be fawning over Gollum if he loses 3 games on the bounce. They will absolutely destroy him, and bring him down. Talk of "Crisis at Old Trafford" will be a monthly headline.
Don't believe me? Look at the England managers job. I cannot remember a single England manager ever that did not get slaughtered by the press. Even Venebles and Keegan, who were essentially appointed by the media, got absolutely killed by the press, although Venebles was for personal misdemeaners as opposed to the football.
As much as the Shite are loved by the media, they are not loved as much as the England team are. There must be 5 times as many England fans read their papers as rags, during World Cups and Euro's it's pretty much wall to wall coverage. It's not a story to say "the manager is doing ok / quite well while he settles in." That doesn't sell papers. Doing average is reported as a "crisis" a "disaster" a "disgrace" and "not good enough." This is the kind of shit Gollum has got to look forward to.
There's no way they would have tried that shite with Slurgie because he was too powerful at the club, his job has not been in anything like jeopardy for 20 years. He could ban any journo who didn't tow the party line, and it wouldn't get reported because he was more powerful and secure in his job than the newspaper editor. Gollum won't be. There is no way the press will give him a break if he does shite, they will ridicule and destroy him. It's not the club that the journo's are in awe of / scared of, it was Fergurson. Gollum has got 20 years to go to gain the same kind of respect / fear from the press.
