Capital repayment of 70 - 80mill a year? I wish I paid my mortgage off that quickly - the bloody thing never goes down!!

Im not all that worried about this situation as some people are. And I might be wrong to be feeling this way, only time will tell.

I suspect that we will see Glazer making very few changes (and I have a feeling that the ones he does make the fans will actually like - he needs to keep them on board).

What was United profot last year? about ?53m (and yes I know the interims fell to what ?12m ish?

That profit cover the interest, and that is even with the circa ?40m they parted with in transfer fees last time round. Obviously he needs to start to repay the capital....naming rights to the stadium is surely high on the agenda, not sure what else, but I cant see him alienting all the fans. In fact, as I say, Ive got a feeling hes going to make all the huff and puff SU come out with look very very stupid.

100m a year?

Thats a hell of an interest rate......

Whilst this appears to be rather amusing at the moment, there is one potential issue that would affect rovers.

How will he pay back the loans ??

Well, the most marketable thing they have are the TV rights, currently the collective bargaining system ensures all premier league clubs get a decent deal. If this was to be scrapped, then its potentially devastating for clubs with Rovers appeal outside Lancashire.

The profit the company makes already would service the debt.

Is there any possible way that this could turn out to be a good thing for Manchester United?

The thing that needs to be remembered is that Manchester United are only profitable because they are good on the pitch. If they arent performaing on the pitch, they have serious worries financially.

I certainly cant see Glazer slashing the transfer budget for example.

make the most of your sucess it wont last, even though shearer has said he is staying, i heard a rumor about a 15mil transfer

You are a good year early paddy. But then again you are probably still in nappies.

Its 1995 you fool! we dont all have the internet at home. I make do with a wizzy new machine at the Library every so often.

Apparently its got 128kb of RAM (sounds unbelievable I know!)

Anyway the Newcastle game! ~The atmosphere was great, Flowes was on amazing form, cant believe we didnt concede. Now we just need to beat Liverpool and its ours!

Well after months of discussion it has finally been decided that my collection of programmes is to be disposed of.

Does anyone want it?

There is in the region of 80-85 programmes, mainly from the 80's, 90's and the last few years, but with a dozen or so from the 60's and 70's.

Make me an offer, it isnt worth a fortune (far from it), if you live local we can arrange a handover somewhere (Im in Leyland), or I can post it at cost price if not (probably cost a bit).

PM me if you are interested.

Where’s McEveley at the moment? On loan, injured, sold or just not good enough?

Two of the above.

the transfer fund will already be sorted,regardless off position we finish in

Familiar with the budget for next season are we waggy?

I would imagine that if by a stroke of luck we can finish in 11th, our transfer budget will be increased by the necessary amount - about 1 million quid!

2 points out off 9pts,is not a great return we should be playing the youngsters

If they looked any good I would agree.

But Im afraid most of them dont on the handful of times Ive seen them this term.

bigger club than us eh

Not bigger mate...just better.

For confirmation I refer you to our respective trophy cabinets.

Ha Ha! Very good FLB. You know they haven't got one of those - no plans to get one either I'd imagine.

I would beg to differ.

They won the Leyland DAF trophy in 1991.

This game just went to highlight that Hughes will have to be very shrewd in the summer if we want to progress. Namely by bringing in some decent attacking players with a bit of flair and creativity.

The Radio coverage was THAT enlightening.......?

Bloody hell! Must have been good.

We are safe so why not start with two up front and give Gally or Jemel a run with Stead. This just seems pointless to me. ENTERTAIN US FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF GAMES PLEASE.

Hmmm, offset against potentially losing millions....

we cant keep them out playing defensive what hope have got going all out to score?

We aint gonna out score the opposition!

I thought Savage can't play against Brum next week because of an agreement when he moved to us. But some people seem to think he can play. ?????

He can play.

I believe it is not possible to impose such a restriction on a contract of employment. Unless by mutual consent, needless to say, we didnt consent.

Steve Bennett bad? Just like the Bolton home game then

I actually thought he was reasonable. Not the bestm but certainly not the worst, that reward is Barry Knight - weve got him on Saturday.

Well, highlights from my webfeed

WBA Lucky not to have a penalty early on for a Neill handbook

Not convinced the freekick which resulted in the goal was a freekick, however

Richardsoin struck it oh so sweetly.

Stead, the unluckiest football player alive, he controleld it beautifully, hit it on the half volley, beat the keeper, and CRASH - into the post.

Other than that not a huge amount of note.

A Class Action?

Under English law?!

There is no mention of Peacock in the original judgement.

I totally forgot the Blackpool bit, twas Feb 9th of the same year.

apr 4 - hull w 1-0, mckenzie

apr 5 - mansield w 1-0, mckenzie

apr 7 - sheff utd w 1-0, crawford

the 6th,7th, and 8th consecutive wins, and the end of a 15 match unbeaten run (14w,1d) going back to early january.

This article says that UEFA will tell the FA to select Liverpool. There is another thread elsewhere on this MB which found a UEFA rule which is definitive on the subject. Use the search engine and no doubt you will find it.

Tis the other way round

It is rule 1.03

"at the request of the national association concerned the UEFA Champions League title holders may be entered for this competition as an additional representative if they do not qualify"

Then goes on to say that it would be as a replacement for the fourth placed club. http://www.uefa.com/newsfiles/19071.pdf

That's not true at all. The official line is that if Liverpool win, no matter what league position they finish, they will be in the Champions League next season. No country can have more than four participants so Everton would not qualify.

No Eddie,

the official line is that it is up to the home nation's FA to decide. It is unwritten that it would be the Champions League winners, but it doesnt have to be.

The poor attendances were as a result of Souness saying that he wasn't bothered about Europe and putting weakened sides out!

Was souey the manager in 1995 when we played in the champs leagie?

or in 94 in the uefa - remember trelleborgs.

WE have always had crap european attendances.

den that link doesn't work...

did for me.

Flitcroft lost his central midfield berth to Martin Andresen last season. Says it all.

Did you see either of them play last season?

No, thought not.
