The OP said wouldn't manage another TEAM in England, the rags are many things but they are certainly not a team, well maybe a team of mercenary's.

Howard Kendall said that.

Interesting. I also play Cricket and two famous brands in India are also run by two brothers, who 'fell out'.

SS and SF.

I posted that on here not long ago, though I’m not sure which thread it was in.

Adi (Adolf) Dassler (and maybe his brother, Rudolph, too) was a big mate of Bert.

Interestingly, I’ve just read on Wikipedia that Adi persuaded Jesse Owens to use Adidas spikes during the 1936 Berlin Olympics. I bet that went down well in certain quarters.

Probably how I "recently discovered" it hahaha

The Chevy deal was bent as fuck anyway. When the General Motors board found out about it the marketing executive who signed it off was immediately fired for exceeding his authority. Chevrolet even announced just after the deal that they were pulling out of the European market anyway.

Dodgy as fuck, that deal.

Although I have done quite a few posts over the last few days on the Dipper thread (and the pretend Rawk thread) please don't think I am ignoring this thread. This post is just to reassure everyone that I hate them more than anything I could think of, I despise the club, their fans and their meccano stadium. The only thing I like about them is Eddie Woodwardwardward, he is doing a great job.

Let them have their memories.

We have a fantastic future to look forward to.

They sing a lot of Roses' songs - but funnily enough, not that one. Maybe we should adopt it?
