No thanks. He has burned his bridges when he hardly acknowledged our club for helping him get to where he is now.

We saved him, progressed his career and made him a better player, but he didn’t acknowledge it.

Enjoy spurs Bentboy!

92er Champions League

There was an interesting article by Patrick Barclay in the Sunday Telegraph today with the headline " Govt must act now to avoid meltdown".

He showed a table, based on the 2006/7 finishing places to highlight the Premier League's top 10 debtors that also showed the annual wages bill. I show debt first, followed by the wages bill

MU £605m, £92m

Chelsea £620m, £133m

Liverpool £57m, £78m

Arsenal £268m, £90m

AV, £63m, £43m

Middlesborough £85m, £38m

Newcastle £69m, £62m

MC £103m, £37m,

WHU £142m, £44m

Fulham £182m, £35m

Apart from wondering if Platini will be able to introduce a level playing field, I was shocked at the total indebtness of the clubs, and surpried at the amounts owed by Middlesborough and Fulham.

Updating the figures-

MU £605m, £92m NOW £850m+ £110m

Chelsea £620m, £133m NOW £650m £160m But owner debt so can be cancelled

Liverpool £57m, £78m NOW £320m £90m with stadium project imploding

Arsenal £268m, £90m NOW £250m £100m debts linked to property and low interest rate bonds

AV, £63m, £43m But owner debt so can be cancelled

Middlesborough £85m, £38m But owner debt so can be cancelled

Newcastle £69m, £62m :lol: Mike Ashley found it was massively under-stated; NOW £150m,£80m

MC £103m, £37m, Also under-stated - what it is now is anybody's guess!

WHU £142m, £44m And Iceland is about to go completely bust taking several UK companies with it. Wages went up to £58m

Fulham £182m, £35m But owner debt.

Rovers NOW £0m, £40m

Apart from wondering if Platini will be able to introduce a level playing field, I was shocked at the total indebtness of the clubs, and surprised at the amounts owed by Middlesborough and Fulham.

This is the Patrick Barclay article.

Looking at it realistically, the Man U and Liverpool debts are enormous problems for their owners who might well take a deep bath when they fail to rollover their borrowings but the clubs would only struggle if the Government/UEFA suddenly move quickly to act on debt.

That would only happen if there are some spectacular bankrupcies. As things stand Hearts and West Ham (Barclay mentions Tevez as a prime case of the football authorities failing to regulate) could provide the spectacular crashes that change the climate. Poor old Sheff U might have won their case but never get their cash in the end.

I seriously hope someone pulls the plug on the Premiership (and the 'Champions' League). It's too shallow, unequal, bloated and rotten. If you take Hull's success out of the equation, there is more interest in the board rooms than on the pitches.

For example the BBC newspaper round up has as much on takeovers involving Everton and Newcastle, as transfers and normal stuff.

It will be interesting to see if Sepp Blatter's intervention will give cause for concern amongst prospective buyers of football clubs.

With all the other uncertainty swilling around, I doubt anybody is going to be buying football clubs at the prices the sellers hope for. There are going to be too many better bargains of all sorts lying around.
