The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

[peter w]

If we thrive under Xia then from now on I will side with the Chinese over the Yanks in every economic, land, maritime, or territorial dispute.

I think I'm turning Chi-i-nese
I think I'm turning Chi-i-nese
I really think so.
Doo-doo-doo-do-do-do-do

you do know the song is about wanking?

As is Pictures of Lily by the Who.

Don't even mention "Pictures of Matchstick Men" by Status Quo.

Oh, go on, then.

If anyone, ANYONE, tells you that white people have no rhythm tell them to check out the dude at 1:52 in. No black man can move like this.

Who's who now updated on the official site. Good to see Sir Brian there and no Mr Riley

Apologies it went wrong when copying and pasting it directly onto here

What's that got to do with spanking a monkey?

i imagine this is not an exhaustive list- but no mention of Sid or Kevin MacDonald  or Simone Farini the Community Coach. Black and Parks are gone or being paid on a retainer during hand over period when the players return.

[Virgil Caine]

I think the list was probably done in a hurry as Wyness is not listed as a Board member either.

[Steve67]

Wyness can't be named until the league approve the appointment. No doubts the same for Banfil and Sameulson too. It'll be updated in due course but interesting about Sid and Kmac.

The meeting with Harvey of the football league was cancelled last minute on urgent business, so it's unlikey Wyness and Co will be appointed until next week.

Good point, well made. I assume Samuelson is still being considered for a position on the board even though the press release only mentioned Wyness needing approval for the Football League. I still doubt however that the list printed on the OS is a full one even considering the delays in some personnel getting signed off.

[Phil from the upper holte]

So has kmac gone then?

[Toronto Villa]

I won't shed a tear if Kmac leaves. He proved himself to be utterly useless least season. Him, Riley and Black can go, and really if Sid isn't deemed critical then as harsh as it might be he can go to. No place for emotion here. We're in the Championship so we need competent coaches for the journey ahead.

The most obvious jerkin' ya gherkin song is Get a Grip by Semisonic. How the hell I've remembered that song I don't know:

'Lonely girls and you lonely boys
Playing alone with your lonely toys
Well don't be blue
If there's no one to play with you

Get a grip on yourself you know you should
I got a grip on myself and it feels good
Get a grip on yourself take my advice
I got a grip on myself and it feels nice'

Not a very good song at all.

Back on topic... No. I've got nothing.

Well actually its Sri Lankan -  a Chicken ceylon - but as we were nearly destroyed by an American my US v China scenario still works. Indian over Chinese every day.

yeah i had a chinese curry 40 years ago , it was alright , but then i had an indian , loved it , and havent stopped eating them since,
our gaffer from work took us to the big wok once and i had an indian curry there
maybe i should give chinese curry another chance now tony xia has taken us over

the curry sauce you get in Chinese chip shops is quite nice on a tray of chips though, with salt and vinegar on it.

Apparently Wyness said they did speak to Sir Alex and he made some recommendations which they ignored. It was Dr X who wanted RDM. Thank fuck, after the last time Sir Alex fucking got involved and bestowed upon us the gift of TSM.

So Moyes 'pulled out' to save face then! I've never been quite sure why the previous hierarchy ever thought it was a good idea to ask Ferguson for advice. Why would it ever be in his interests to assist another club?

[mr underhill]

because at the moment we are no threat whatsoever to Yanited?
