Oh, I see.

No fears though. He'll just see the great quadruple winning side of 2031/32 through cataract addled eyes before he throws a seven.

I hope you're right.

Would you bet against me being right, though?

Premier League football is fucked up beyond belief. Our only chance of competing for it involves us being taken over by someone with more money than sense, and hoping that it doesn't happen to anyone else. Your point about Randy becoming 10x richer overnight says it all, really. Is that what it is all about?

It's all a bit like that Richard Pryor film where a billionaire gets him to be his human toy. The Toy. Or was that Gene Wilder?

Ireland and £15m would be my guess.


Only a couple of quid out then!

There is a Michel Platini shaped light at the end of the tunnel. Manchester City have to do all that they're doing now because they won't be able to in a couple of years time. The Sheikh money for wages will be limited to £40m, which, let's be honest, will be just enough to cover some wage problems in addition to turnover.

There was only one 'G20' (what an up itself name) club opposed to the Platini rules - Manchester City. Don't worry about winning the league, there's very little chance of them building a dynasty, and a good chance they'll be totally buggered by the time you bring up your half century.

Plus we're about to roger them hilariously by getting them to pay us for improving our squad. How nice of them to oblige.

And how is our wages/turnover ratio looking these days?

Rules to stop wealthy benefactors pumping money into a club is hardly something to hang all our optimism on.

We're taking measures to improve our situation which is far better than Man City's, while they take further measures to worsen their situation.

Our benefactor is rich, but cannot compete with the superest of the super rich. Therefore, anything which bridges the gap between us and them is a good thing.
