Jimfanciesthedude 24,917 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Aye and things are going swimmingly now, arent they? no but unless someone had a fucking fortune then any takeover would simply result in us either cutting massively in the squad dept or running up more debtremember colin that the previous regime looked good because of the CL money, without that we were up the creek, AJ and co would simply have hidden behind Lloyds this season had we fucked up europe with them in charge Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful. I see your point though but to be honest I would rather we had to go with youths this season if it had meant avoiding administration.
