Agree. Mourinho might actually win something before imploding again. With the family man you know he's armed with a puny IQ, wax crayons and an enquiring dick.

He's always been top of my rag shit list as well (with GPC and Crerand), always hated Wilson with a passion, cant stand him, when it was revealed he shagged his sister in law, it just confirmed to the rest of the world, what was already known, so with him being manager, my hatred of him will know no boundaries.

SCUM

If Hughes can roll over for the turtle then that would be a big help in keeping him at the swamp. But that bloody news conference yesterday was no help to us. Any more shenanigans like that and the swampettes will have no option other than to boot him out - and we just cannot allow that to happen. He's turning the rags into an even more laughing stock than they were under Gollum so it is of the utmost importance that he retains their trust and they keep him.

The sharks are circling......

I know I should be lapping this up with regard to what's going on at old scaffold.
But instead I find the way in which this downmarket rag has responded rather despicable. They've shot their bolt now, so if I was him I'd be making an example of them at the next presser by asking the assembled masses if any of them wanted to apologise yet. If no-one did, then they'd get what they deserved. No comments, no commotion just a polite 'that's enough then'. Perhaps an explanation that this was how things would continue to be until one was forthcoming, but nothing more than the minimum respect due to another human being.
The next one would be the same and the next after that until they got the message. Treat them all as one so they can turn the fingers of blame inwards on those who were at fault.
See how long they can print the same points about the same story (gets a bit boring for readers pretty quickly.)
See how comfortable they feel about having the calm light of decorum repeatedly shone in their direction.

As happened with Angus Dayton, calling them out in such manner may result in them becoming the story they are reporting on, rendering any viewpoints they may offer as completely lacking in journalistic integrity. Sad as this might sound for the paying public, I think they abandoned any notion of this kind of objective noblesse a long time ago, much as I have largely abandoned paying to support them.
If it becomes another nail in the coffin of the free press, then so be it. It doesn't deserve to be represented by such simple-minded bullies.

Their full year results for 2015 are just out and in these they state their targets for the year:

They missed most of their football ones apart from the League Cup but they seem to have hit most of their financial ones. But as they're not a football club, that won't matter too much I guess.

This year they've already missed two of their football targets and are in severe danger of missing another. In terms of the figures, they made an operating profit of £32.9m but that was wiped out by net financing costs of £35.2m, leaving them with a small pre-tax loss and a bottom line loss of £16.4m after tax.

A loss, you say???
Isn't that likely to indicate a downward trajectory re: FFP? At least it must be an unsustainable position that ordinarily might call for some kind of remedial action (such as a big fine or some kind of restrictions).
Real shame about that TV deal.

The end is nigh. =)

The Sun can fuck off....... funny how sarcastic apologies get back page large type lettering...... and a day after the incident....... the fuckers weren't as happy or as quick to apologise over Hillsborough. Cunts

 

[its grim up north]

There's a spectrum, mate. At one end are relatively inoffensive individuals earning a quiet living and not dissing us. Cnuts by association alone. At the other are self-made über-cnuts like Bacon, the Family Man and Crerand. The hacks are still in the pockets of the übers because LVG isn't really part of the rag establishment.

Would agree if he had arrived with a bit of decorum and a bit of humility, but just think what a twat he would be IF he he had been a success. He took the job knowing what they had done to Wee Davie and thought he was that good that it would not happen to him.So fuck him.

Loving the caf these days...

Since when did city have more money to spend then us, I've never understood that.

I get where your coming from. I think City may have more money but both United and them have so much that it won't mean one could outbid the other unless they are throwing 100's of millions at a players transfer. City may have more room to take a risk with the extra financial power. City's money is coming from a sugar daddy that just pumps money in. Ours is far more respectable, through revenue, sponsorship deals etc.

And I think they're missing a couple of 'c's in the Detail column of the Team Performance section.
