Is there any possibility that this is done so United can sell him for a huge fee in the summer instead of a small one in January? They would definitely be right in questioning his motivation after this farce...

Thats what I think too!!

I'd say so. He'll get bunged either way, but this way at least his home won't be torched.

It's been touching how the Mancs have taken to a scouser so much when they know that every scouser blue, red or Shrek totally hates them.

Why can't you compare them? The numbers might be much more for United but only because their success was so much greater.

The principle is still the same.

If you saw a Rovers fan on here from, for a random example, Doncaster who got into us during the '95 season would you say the same? They might well have stuck with us through the relegation seasons but it's still supporting a Premier League club when they could be supporting their local club.

Why did you pick Doncaster? There are thousands of Rovers supporters in Doncaster. :closedeyes:

It might be good if I'd forgotten all about Everton nicking Fred Pickering and Keith Newton off us as well as Howard Kendall off PNE and Alan Ball off Blackpool when the abolishment of the maximum wage had reduced us to paupers and they were the nations 'millionaire club' in the 60's.... but I haven't! :angry2:

Hows this for brass neck. Alex Ferguson commenting on Rooney.....

I always feel it's a quality in a person when they say they're sorry and realise they've made a mistake. That happens, particularly with young people, and I admire that. "

How often has he practised what he preaches?

The thing though, Theno, was that Everton never won anything around those times.

It was always said after that, that money could never promise you a premiership (title).

I remember being gutted with Pickering/ Vernon(?)going. What about Johnny Carey!

You're older than I am dave. I never saw Roy Vernon play for us. But in the late 60's Everton won the title once as well as winning and finishing runners up in the FA Cup. Not suprising when they had the pick of Lancashire's finest.

..I'm sure that if Lancashire Utd were around at that time history would have been re-written. :tu:

They nicked Howard Kendall off Rovers as well! And Gordon Lee!

I'm pretty certain that was after the Rovers "influence" had left.( I haven't checked, so could be wrong) I always felt they couldn't get it together, and to some extent that applies today. They have the odd "good player" but they don't have a "team" if you get my meaning.

I remembered they won the cup in 1966-this might not be what you were referring to.

I also checked and found they won the league in 1969/70-which I had forgotten about.

I guess that's the season Newton went there.

It wasn't all one way - we bought George Sharples from the Toffees for £10,000 in the late 60s - a decent sum of money then.

Not a bad player but hardly in the Newton / Pickering class going to Goodison.
