well if you didnt know that they had 3 county panelists in the first place would that lead you to believe that they were first teamers? 

Was not at the match yesterday but it is obvious that Keady are not up to this standard yet.

If this doesnt make the ordinary ground football fan sit up and realise that these guys have no loyalty to anything than nothing ever will.

In the week that the Spending Cuts were announced and 1/2m people likely to be out of work, he can see fit to say that 150k a week for what he does isnt enough. What happened to the working class hero that he was potrayed as by his media and management company.

Check back to my prediction of Rooneys statement!

Total engineering of a move Plan A

So what does Gill or Ferguson decide today then at this meeting, 'yeah we will go to the Glazers and ask for 100m to buy players in January and the summer to placate Rooney' or do we cut our loss and dump him the January transfer window to some of our rivals in the title chase (not that I think United have a chance in the title this season anyway)

What difference exactly would that make?
Glazers sack SAF and get another puppet in to manage in his place and the world continues as normal, fact is only change will happen when the Glazers want it to.

If the leagues are structured better and more carefully (point 1), the games will therefore be played at the right time of the year and the teams will be competitive and not playing dead rubber games. (point 2) Hence the are a more attractive prospect to the golf or pub brigade to go watch, therefore hopefully increasing the standard and the attendance in the same go?

No? 

Skull, dont you think that they are one in the same point or at least very closely linked?

Structure of the leagues would lead to better timing of fixtures esp the high profile matches therefore increasing the amount of people attending increase in interest and hopefully increase in competitiveness?

The thing is we are kind of forcing the people away from the games and that includes players by the lack of 'competitive' games at appropriate times of the year.

IMO there will be a mixed response by the fans, there will be the hard core who want him gone, but then there are the more realistic fans who will look at this as another problem caused by the Glazers ownership and use it as a stick to beat them with.

I can see Rooney's agents response to all this now - Wayne was promised loads of new signings and ambition from the club which had not materialised so that is why he has decided to move on to pastures new. Its a vital time in his career......
(bullshit bullshit bullshit)

Skull I was actually agreeing with you, just taking it to the edge. I take on board that it may have been better than previous years, but my point still stands that if the three top teams are playing against each other in dead rubbers at the end of the season when no one cares how can it be described as a decent league?

Granted if these games are looked at and played in the summer when the teams are fit and will actually get something out the game then I wouldnt have an issue.

So the league was great this year despite the 3 top teams not playing twice and the best team last year from the co Down not playing them either?

Something to me does not add up there?

Great league for those that survived or who had a few meaningless wins, I am talking about a total competitive league that runs like clockwork and everyone knows when it is happening etc

Thanks for the link, Fergie genuinely seems hurt by this one, seemed to struggle in certain parts of that.

Fk knows what happens now.

What are his options realistically, Man City?

Real Madrid, with Beckham and Owen linig up to tell him how bad a move that is. Plus can you see him learning the language?

Chelsea, who wont have the cash to splash on the scale this would need.

If he wont sign I would be happy enough as a united fine to see him in the reserves for the remaining 2 years, see what Fabio and all his endorsements make of that.

anyone got a link to the interview, in work and cant get to see it cheers

Skull I have my opinions on it but was wanting to see what the wider views were on the issue.

Totally agree the bigger games need to be promoted and kept for a decent time of the year which are beneficial to the clubs playing and are attractive to people to come and watch.

Ceratinly somthing needs to be done as as far as I can remember this has been the poorest year by far in terms of regular matches etc and for once we cant blame the county manager for this. Granted there was very little hurling done around the time the County team we playing but this was a decision taken before the season started.

Maybe we are looking back to the past with Rose tinted glasses, but what happened to the sundays of hurling when both teams played a senior and senior reserve match. Has this notion gone away?

Right time for realistic ideas to revamp the league and get competitive games back on the agenda from May-August in the run up to the Championship in August - September......
