Haha, excellent.
It’s true what they say isn’t it? You get a better class of poster at this hour ;-)

Reading that assessment by Swiss Ramble of the Glazers financial impact on the rags,I am reminded of something that Ed Woodentop said: “Performance on the pitch doesn’t really impact what we can do on the commercial side of the business.” (Roughly quoted)
If he truly believed that (and I think he did) there could be no greater demonstration of their ignorance of the footy business. The commercial side is now being impacted significantly by their absence from the CL and that will only get worse. Anyone want to sponsor our shirt? Anyone? Please, pretty please. Going cheap in the Far East: 200 million shirts. Just wait till they are relegated!

They think it works like American sports where you can have millions of people wearing New York Yankees hats without knowing who the fuck they are. But football doesn't work like that. American sport has a far higher turnover of successful teams, whereas European football has a virtuous circle between investment, success on the pitch and income. Teams that fail to invest drop off the face of the earth.

Anyway, another player has turned them down because they can't match his wage demands. And there's the other issue. When you're shit, even average players like Rabiot demand top wages to come down to your level.
