Red Knights: funding in place

This seems a bit sudden. Unless they have been planning for a lot longer than we know it's hard to give it credence. Of course that is entirely credible as we all knew the gimps sums wouldn't add up eventually. I like the suggestion there are now 60 investors, as far as i am concerned the more the better.

Jim White takes Gill to task for not understanding the bleeding obvious " Manchester United is for sale ".

In his desperation to please his masters Gill seems to be willing to lose his credibility and upset the wrong people if some of the quotes i have been reading this morning are correct, cheap shots, ouch.

Jim O'Neill may have to choose between Goldman sachs according to grauniad report. No on the record quotes though. If he did walk away from Golgman sachs that wouldn't exactly be the worst news for the red knights bid anyway, would it.

Owen out for the season, that leaves us a bit short up front now. We may be hoping that Diouf turns out to the real deal that we hope he is.

Hargreaves to appear for the reserves next week, that's a surprise, saying that he had to give it a go in a match at some time.

Chris Smalling admits the move to United came completely out of the blue. I heard him interviewed on the TV the other night, he really doesn't sound like a professional footballer. He looks as though he could be the real deal, and he is getting a good schooling under Hodgson at Fulham, so i'm looking forward to seeing him at old trafford next season.

Matthew Upson blames the pitch for his slip that led to the Egyptian goal on Wednesday. I noticed the pitch only came in for the stick it deserves after the international match, typical.

" Slasher Osborne " scares David Blanchflower, so he wries in his latest New Statesman column.

That could be a nice campaign slogan for labour and the lib dems

Adrian Hamilton reckons it's in this countries interests to be doing more to help the Greeks through their economic difficulties. Well i think we can safely say that " slasher won't be helping any foreigners out ", they don't speak English, don't you know.
