Rags in financial trouble?

[Prestwich_Blue]

Hang on, I thought Singaporean rags had stepped-in to offer the ginger uglies oodles of noodles. I thought the prospect of forking over large to some four-flushing, over-leveraged, American shysters to save said facial pubesters real estate holdings was an offer too good to refuse!

They're not that stupid in Singapore and effectively told the Glazers to sling their hook at the price they were asking.

Err dont you mean that 'the current uncertainty in the financial markets meant that it was prudent to delay any possible decision to float in the Singapore exchange'?

Yes, something like that.

and Colombo apparently discovered America :)

Sorry mate, had to do it :)

I didn't get this at first but assume it's like the Titanic/Queen Victoria's dead sarcastic comments about old news.

You'd be wrong as this is an entirely new development. They've always seemingly had enough cash to meet their debt repayments in the past. If they haven't then it could lead to all sorts of turmoil for them.

I dont think its a Titanic thing PB more of a mixed message thats got lost in translation..

Ive just read the article below in the sun, does anyone else think it's weird how Shrek is now bringing this up again?

also look at the bit in bold, Asked if he had disputed the fine, Rooney said: "Yes — but for reasons that I can't make public, I accepted it."

Whats all that about? I sill think he will be gone by the end of the season!

WAYNE ROONEY admits his form was affected by his Christmas row with boss Alex Ferguson.
The Manchester United striker said: "I was tense when I got back on the pitch and I believe it showed."

Roo was dropped and fined for his lethargic performance in training after a night out on Boxing Day.

He then put in a lack-lustre display when restored to the starting line-up for the 3-0 defeat at Newcastle last week.

Asked if he had disputed the fine, Rooney said: "Yes — but for reasons that I can't make public, I accepted it."
Rooney sung Ferguson's praises by insisting the United chief was the biggest influence he has had in his career.

He confirmed his row with the boss is now over by calling Fergie "the greatest present that life has given me."

But he admitted they do not always see eye-to-eye. He said: "You can't always live in harmony. Football is made up of conflict.

"Life in a dressing room, between players, between us and the coach, between us and loads of people who don't seem to matter, it's continuous confrontation. At times it can be harsh."

The part about bacon chops being 'the greates present life has given me' is also a bit staged IMO.

Surley that should be your baby son, you fat, baldheaded granny shaggin Tw&t!

yep, it was in that line. I thought is worldwide joke but I guess it's our local only :) when someone says something anybody knew about we say "Good morning Colombo"

I understand what you want to say, it was aimed to thread title only, just a joke, nothing serious :)

It just took me a while to work it out. I thought you'd posted in the wrong thread. It was the "Colombo" bit that threw me.

are they backing themselves into the corner that we're trying to escape from with the on coming FFPR?

 

[Damocles]

There is no way that they would go out business.

Be interesting if they don't get top 4

Needs a source. You should know you can't come on here waving this kind of gold nugget without a reliable source.

He's tweeting it himself now so I can tell you it was Rodney Marsh, who is well connected in sports circles in Florida.

Well, well. Very interesting if true.

As has been said further back in the thread, they're not exactly going out of business if this is correct, but shows they have problems that could be damaging in the short and medium terms, and also very embarressing for them. Cue a whole raft of additions to the 'Ragcafe in meltdown' thread!
