That's the kinda theme park I wanna go.

The Wild Mouse at Blackpool pleasure beach was a Phil Jones defensive performance in rollercoaster form

Thought it was called the Mad Mouse ?

I'd take it more seriously if that was a realistic valuation.

Belle Vue zoo and fair was great in its day

Yeah, I thought it was just called ‘the mouse’ but looked it up...

One of the fookin scariest rollercoasters ever.

If you’ve been on both then I defer to your judgement. Rollercoasters just don’t make you feel like they’re gonna break and fall off the rails anymore. Phil Jones on the other hand

First time I went on the Bobs, the restraining bar sprang upwards just as we were about to go down! Fortunately, we manged to re lock it before it picked up speed.

It's times like that when you realise that adrenaline is brown!!

Extending contracts to players that are obviously not good enough, not buying any new players, employing a temp. manager etc. would lead you to think this story has some credence.
Why would the Glazer's spend big now if it's being sold to the Saudi Royal Family?
They can just let it play out as it is, then let the new guy come in, get a top manager and a raft of new players, a la PSG.
They won't have to go the slow route like us, as they won't be hampered by FFP, which they brought in to hinder clubs being backed by Sovereign wealth.

So, they're copying us.

Ha Ha, you couldn't make it up!
