Superb
I’d also add the Martin Edwards ladies toilet limbo contest, and the Rock of Gibraltar donkey derby

Also has a third stake in Mercedes F1, who were good when they could outspend everyone. However now with a cost cap they have a car that is a shopping trolley.

Ineos is not a major force in cycling. Under his guidance the team has slumped form the glory days of Team Sky


What standards has he raised in football ?

For any lurking rags............. this is what we are getting!

Jumbo Visma team might dispute that Ineos have raised standards in cycling. If anything, Team Sky have fallen away under the guardianship of Ineos.

It's bollocks. Nice are doing ok in the french league currently but behind the scenes they are a fucking shambles

One of those ones with all the funny mirrors that distort your features? We could call it the Phil Jones hall of mirrors.

Edited for you...

And so the hyperbole begins in order to grab the headlines and gee up the fuckwit army regarding the rebuild of the "greatest sham in football" and convince the world that everything is good again in rag world.

Rinse and repeat.............

I am wondering how the relaxed rules on new owner investment apply to Ratcliffe buying 25% of the rags?

New owners are allowed to put in a set amount above FFP maximum in first year. I read it was an additional 90 million for the rags.

Obviously doesn’t apply to them as they are not having new owners!

In sport ,no.
But this is Manchester Untied we're talking about . . .

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Let them play at the Etihad for a hefty fee. Make some money off them and poor it back into our team.

No thanks.
Fuck them.
Think about that banner.
Then tell them to get fucked

Mercedes gave up the Honda engine and red bull snapped it up, the rest is history as they say.. Fuckin idiots…!

No
But it does give them £90 million to spend on yet another lame donkey..! Happy Days..!

It’s interesting that Tent Peg is delighted that the footballing side of the business is supposedly getting an overhaul. It’s like the turkeys voting for Christmas in that case as I imagine one of the big tasks for Scruffy Jim will be to sack the manager in the coming months.
