Enjoyed the CS yesterday, Utd played some decent football and it was good to see Berba and Hernandez getting a goal each aswell as Rooney teeing one up for Valencia.

I don't think you do. I just don't agree with you when you say this:

however, I can see the sense in why football clubs are considered preferential creditors in order to prevent a house of cards effect.

All businesses losing money due to bad debt creates a house of cards effect, it's just not as public.

O'Neill next gaffer to go?

Was 14/1 this morning, odds shortened and now in at 4/7. Any reason?

Timing of his departure is somewhat bizarre!

Re: Close Season Football Chat : Mon Aug 09, 2010 3:38 pm  

Something to do with the Milner transfer surely?

He's been told he can't have the money to spend maybe?

Sold him behind his back? O'Neil is a great manager, can't see him being out of work for long. Unless he fancies some time off.

Would happily have him at Newcastle - no disrespect to Hughton, I like the way he is going about things, but IMHO he is just another 'yes' man for Ashley.

This season is make or break and we need a man that can assemble a team to keep us there/get the best out of the players we have. If we stay up, we can put some foundations down to push the club forward again. Get relegated and we will all but be off the radar.

Looks like this Milner deal is being done behind his back, which could be the reason.

The donut bet of the century is odds of 8/1 (3rd fave) being offered for McClaren to take the job when he has only been at Wolfsburg a couple of months.

Moyes is 12/1
