    I have to disagree..."understood" leaps at me. It doesn't say who it is understood by, or why it is understood - so for me it is of passing interest only. They are simply teasing to try to add substance to what they have not been able to get confirmed.

    Who Will New Manager Be? Ask Waggott Tonight

    The most dissecting, pertinent, intelligent question - asked in the most skilful & intelligent manner will at best receive a "I can't comment on that at the moment" type answer.

    Football as a business in unsustainable and unfair the way it is run now

    I don't have time to comment on most of what you say in the OP but may do later...a couple of key things: - 1987 FA CUP Final: Squads including managers totalled 28. 5 of those were not English...& only 2 were foreigners. 2012 FA CUP Final: 38; 24; 22 respectively We do entice these...

    Who Will New Manager Be? Ask Waggott Tonight

    I despair about some of the questions suggested on here. He is most unlikely to divulge or announce anything really earth-shattering about anything future...nor give much about the past. It's a public relations exercise - and a very welcome & much needed one. The most likely outcome is that some...

    Okay, fine...IF just putting some quote marks around something you read in The Sun or on another post is what you consider "pretty believable & reasonable" to you that's okay with me. I maintain that I have neither seen or heard anything to convince me of anyone specific on the shortlist...or...

    Not wanting to seem harsh but this is a pointless thread. Source not required - it's pure speculation AGAIN...no quoted names from anyone in the decision making process that I'm aware of.

    Middle East consortium reveals plans for £1.5bn takeover of Arsenal

    So we get to the Prem...the anticipation would bring 22500-25000 short term regularly - that's double income on offer right now...then invest more into the team to give a fighting chance for Europe...& cups...gates maintained or grown. Loads more merchandise. 5-10 yrs growth is massive. Then the...

    PLEASE NOT CURLE!.... heres why..

    I would say why bother judging any of this imaginary short-list? Different clubs, staff, players - only even begin to judge whoever is appointed after 12 games.

    Middle East consortium reveals plans for £1.5bn takeover of Arsenal

    Not if they have the funds (which obviously they do) to buy the club, stadium & everything that goes with it

    Middle East consortium reveals plans for £1.5bn takeover of Arsenal

    The question is about motivation & I guess it has been answered too - show-off/EGO! Even if Arsenal win the Champions league...short term 15% growth maybe...from a massive investment - is that a successful businessman? CCFC modest investment relatively...potentially massive long term growth.

    PLEASE NOT CURLE!.... heres why..

    Just take a reality check folks! WE have no confirmation from the Club, nor any individual (& I'd be surprised if the bookies or media have either), as to who has or has not applied. It is all pure speculation. True...someone will make the correct educated guess...& there is often no smoke...

    Radical overhaul...

    I think there is simply too great a contrast between home results & away results that we seem unable to address properly. That surely has to be down to the team, management & coaching staff in pretty equal measure. We go from a resilient, competent team consistently winning away...only to become...

    Middle East consortium reveals plans for £1.5bn takeover of Arsenal

    Talk of sports cars & Walsall is all very well. Walsall do not have the fan base potential. I am actually talking they buy the club & stadium & f&b...progress the club rapidly into the prem. relatively cheaply...25k+ crowds., large fan base = return on investment!

    Middle East consortium reveals plans for £1.5bn takeover of Arsenal

    Incredible. Talk of: - • Unnamed group would make substantial investment in team • Arsenal debts would be wiped out and ticket prices reduced And yet less than half of that they could likely get some almost instant success in a smaller fan base but much lower risk (i.e. other than the odd...

    My Responce to a Football Hater...

    It's fascinating how we sometimes struggle to understand others. Like I know people who "hate" footy...but love soap operas. I cannot fathom the attraction of them at all (apart from perhaps the odd bit of totty)

    AFC Coventry

    I've pondered this before...what if ACL have designs on bidding for CCFC at the death or if/when placed into administration - or maybe they know of an interested party already...someone they'd happily have as a partner in the Stadium & also happy they buy the Higgs share?

    Trouble at the game

    Not at all...all I ever physically endured was a cowardly kick in the ass off an escaping Wolves fan in the West End once. However I don't like to watch it either...
