You should have kept it to yourself until next March!

Hey @jimharri a forum ain't a forum without a good old topographic error lol.

Now..... about the thread title, is 72 the new 67?

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Ronaldo, although being supremely talented, nowadays makes the rest of the team worse.

He may add in 25 goals a season personally, but he takes out 40 goals a season that would be shared by the team, as the team have to play to him, rather than with him.

Rags without PR37
- 2nd place.
- CL qualification.
- 73 goals, +29 goal diff.

Rags with PR37
- 6th place.
- Scraped through to the EL.
- 57 goals, 0 goal diff.
- Captain mutiny and dressing room split.
- 3 different managers.
- Plays when he wants, tantrums when subbed off.
- Desserts off the menu.

Pep apparently said: “If we sign him, I’m off.” Can’t vouch for that but interesting gossip.

I imagine there's pro and anti stance between signing comitte member whether we should sign Ronaldo or not, Pep will always have the highest authority to decide whether we bringing new guy or not but he can always be convinced if new guy can bring good to the team even if his impression is not keen of the idea at first.

But that always moot, even if Pep did reconsider that signing Ronaldo is good thing. The moment rags join the bid it's over for us so eventually we decide to back out from the deal.

Kind of ironic that the rags saved us from making terrible mistake if that scenario above happened without the rags intervention lol.

Well spotted. I've fixed that title now.


And no; it wasn't me who put pg 72 in the first place, before you ask/imply!

I just read that as Captain Muttley!
Mind you, who'd notice the difference?

 

[KS55]

Wonder if he's actually got any balls and starts using 'Slave' references again?

Should be an amusing break from our transfer threads until the season starts.

As it is they're still in deep shit and reverse gear even with a new CEO & Poundland Pep with players legging it like lemmings.

Existing players fucking off is just what they need to cleanse their toxic dressing room. It’s who comes in that will determine their immediate future.

Far be it for me to cast any such aspersions.... perish the thought, hope your keeping well old pal.

 

[jimharri]

How bad do we really think it is?

People saying we're fecked if Ronaldo leaves have to realise that keeping an unhappy Ronaldo is an even a worse proposition. Let him on ffs.

Challenging next season, apparently. Wow.

You got the old bit right! Yeah, not so bad. Yourself?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

They each have their own.

Yeah, but who’s is biggest?

They have magic mirrors that make everything look enormous. They hang them at crotch height.

Luke Shaw is fervently hoping an offer comes in.

No sniggering at the back of the class, thank you very much.

 

[KentBlue]

A sullen, petulant, namby-pamby 37-year old man-child - and the rags are contractually obliged to pay him £500,000 a week. What's not to like?

 

[Grassland Blue]

100%. We literally couldn't ask for any better than this right now. Plus this is going to have an impact on potential transfers thus summer. The Rags targets will see their main man has just handed in a transfer request, One of the biggest names in world football wants out.

Happy fucking days.

Well if they haven't found it yet, now is the time to develop it.

The next five years are going to take a huge shift in outlook and temperament for the rags.

Their fans will either learn the art of self-deprecation or decide to follow another sport.

Gone fishin'...

Extremely challenging.

You mean Shteve, shirley?

His mastery of the Dutch language is something to behold...

 

[dickie davies]

Relegation in 74 was a great time to be a Blue but the current shit show at the swamp could surpass that. I don't envisage them being relegated but they will be so far behind the top teams in the UK and Europe they could be fucked for another ten years. Fingers crossed.

Their relegation in 74 was epic, but we all suffered the following season as they swept all before them in division two. Thousands of neanderthals rocking up in small towns causing all kinds of violent trouble and huge vandalism, whilst the UK media fawned over their inevitable return to the top division
I really grew to hate the cunts that season

 

[heslops barnet]

Apart from football reasosns, I think his Mrs (and the kids) probably don't like and can't settle in Manchester even for 1 more year. They all probably miss the Med climate and lifestyle.

Sounds a good reason to me…..
