Football Banter

Our 1-1 draw with Swansea was maybe a little bit fortunate, but none the less that should have been a game we should have won!!

Venkys want to reduce the wages bill.
I seriously hope no one comes in for robinson or Samba or we will be totally f**ked

One thing about Steve Kean. He has a very think skin. Or he's very stupid.
I still can't understand why Samba hasn't requested a transfer

But the worse thing is ...I'm nearly beginning to feel sorry for the Rovers fans.
Order me a light aircraft and a banner

I think the only thing that needs to be done is make the club ownership rules more tougher for foreigners, and easier for British
people to take clubs over, and all foreign owners should be made to sign a form saying that they abide by the rules of our Premier League. If foreign owners do not abide the rules then they shouild be forced to hand over the reigns to a British owner. The Venkys definitely seem to be people who do not have at heart the best interests of a British football club and it's fans. Rover's fans not only vent your spleen at Keane and the Venky's but also get a petition up to get the Premier League to launch an investigation into the Venky's ownership. I fear something has gone wrong there.
Why has the Premier League has allowed them to own the club, if they have no serious intention of keeping fans informed of their intentions in taskking the club forward?
And as for Steve Keane, I think he's had more lives than a cat has!!

What have the owners done wrong? They don't have to inform the fans of anything, there's no reason they should have to!

As much as I'd like to look into my opinion I can't be arsed but I'm sure this would be somewhat against international business & ownership law to be prejudice against someone just because it's an English business they are trying to buy & 'run'.

It's not the people who buy the clubs the fans should be angry at it's the Premier League themselves with their so called "fit and proper persons test" which is obviously a load of bollocks & shows to some degree that the rulers of the league don't even have a full grasp of how people should be "taskking" clubs forward.

Liverpool, Man Utd, Portsmouth & Blackburn. I'd also albeit on a different scale put Chelsea & Man City there aswell. How some of the owners of these clubs got accepted into English football I don't know but with the FA & Premier League running things it's never a surprise!!!

Any Utd, Pompey & Rovers fans out there should read this, it may be a Liverpool FC book but it's also a very very good insight into some of the uninsightful football club owners. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Epic-Swindle-Mon...0857385992

1. they dont have the money
2. send clubs to the blink or thats just peter ridsdale and ken bates.
3. cant even run a 5yr old girls tea party with teddy bears or thats just mike "aint got no" cashley.

ownership of clubs is not a prem league problem. rangers are in the same situation has their owner/chairman has a shady past, present and future. also rangers are facing a massive and unpresidented court case with hmrc over £45m tax bill, rangers could take the ceo of hmrc to a nice expensive lunch like vodafone and goldman sachs have done and they did not have to pay their £bn tax bill. if rangers lose then rangers will be out of buiness.

there needs to transparancy at all levels with owners, wages (image rights) and funding.

I'm not sure if this should of been in the "news" section or not, but I came across this and thought it was brilliant !

Its now being reported that Chris Smalling has glandular fever..
Added to the rest of Man Utds injury problems, can they put out 2 centre backs?

Edit: He doesn't have glandular fever its only tonsilitis

They don't need to worry, they've got Blackburn next

Liverpool v Newcastle

It has already been mentioned about a million times, like it is every year. ZzzzzZZZzzzZZzzZZzZz
