Daily mail journo reporting 7k/week wages. That isn't the type of wages I was expecting us to pay/afford.

Really is the spirit of '72, probably not far off what you'd pay back then. Roll back.

Just got mine £16.99, bingo.

Thomson drum rolls every blog he publishes and 9 times out 10 they deliver nothing.

The very same commendable deeds Craig Whyte achieved.

He has not applied for a membership to any league Has apparently had no banking facilities set up for the club. Has never met any of the players despite receiving numerous requests. Will not disclose backers or indeed who actually owns the club.

Do we honestly think that all of these senior players would refuse the club a fee? Do we not worry that no membership application has been completed? We are already aware of the lies we've been fed. We have been here before.

As long as his departure isn't accompanied by some insulting statement claiming Rangers are dead then he goes with my best wishes. Fucking ludicrous stuff yesterday.

What did he say exactly?

No, not Celtic, surely.

Yep just got it, ignored it and went through. No idea why it's happening.

Cool, some admirable interests.

Nice and not cheap, what do you do?

Of course fighters don't have the benefit of hindsight, I completely agree. That means that Joe gets credit for finally manning up and taking what was perceived to be a test, a real test. Unfortunately when assessing a fighters career hindsight is legitimately used to gauge the value of a victory. With respect, only a fool would argue to the contrary. It works both ways though, like when Pascal beat Dawson. If Lacy had went on to have a glittering career it would have reflected positively on Calzaghe. Again, unfortunately, Lacy was proven to be a hype job without one notable win on his record, hence the victory is correctly devalued. In Butes case we don't have that benefit, I very much doubt he'll turn out as bad as poor old Jeff but we'll wait and see, like I said, it doesn't make a great deal of difference to the overall argument anyway.

Proved your point? What that Jeff lacy was a pile of pish and Bute might be? That's not a point that's a piece of total speculation. On the off chance than Bute is as bad as Lacy, it makes little difference to the fact that Froch has had a better career.

It says a lot when your attempting to pad Calzaghes record out with knockout artist Jeff Lacy lol. Whichever way you slice it Joe has 2 significant wins, 1 was 40 years old and the other Froch may yet beat if he hasn't already. The records just don't compare, Joe hid in the Valleys for too long.

We don't know because in general he fought weak opposition. The argument is, who has had the better career, skill does not = career.

Very true, a throw back to yesteryear. What a sport we'd have if a few of the other top fighters even had a fraction of his balls.

That's pretty much it from Calzaghes end, Kessler and Hopkins. Pretty thin in comparisons with Carl Frochs CV. Currently one of the best in all of boxing, regardless of any asterisk you try to add. Calzaghe could have had a better list of victims, maybe he was that good we'll never know. He lacked the confidence for years, if you haven't already, read his bio, it's painfully clear. Froch does not suffer from this hindrance, clearly.

I doubt he could ever beat him but after he deals with Kessler I'd give him an opportunity to put up a better performance.

Xylocaine and the likes are not banned in Nevada.

Frochs best win is Pascal. Followed by Bute, Dirrel, Abraham, Johnson & Taylor. Joe just doesn't have that Calibre on his record. If the Kessler fight was anywhere but Denmark, Froch would have got the decision. Joe has 1 win against prime world class opposition. Carl has Multiple. You talk about mixed bag of performance from Froch, go rewatch Calzaghe v Reid, Thornberry, starie etc. He struggled regularly with less than world class opposition. The same cannot be said about Froch. Bute "found a way" to get the win against Andrade then sparked him in the rematch.

I'm more worried about " the money is sitting in an account ready to go" , "20 investors" claims, followed by missed first payment of funds. All too familiar bluster.

He's only been on the scene 5 minutes and already there are a number of inconsistencies. Already? We surely cannot back him until things are clarified.

I'm not suggesting anyone jumps to conclusions, I haven't drawn my own on Green yet. All I'm saying is the warning signs are there, again. There should be no benefit given where doubt arises on this occasion. As above, the answers shouldn't be difficult.
