Kenny

[Trumo]

...The TV cash could have reduced season tickets to nearly nothing and still given the clubs a fortune to spend. But no, that cash is now channeled into agents pockets, buys supercars for players and fills owners bank accounts...

 

To make a topical point, Donald Trump's proposed tax cuts will have the same effect. Somebody on his team commented that the corporate tax savings made by companies will mean they keep more of their money, and workers could see as much as an extra $4000 in their annual salary because that's where companies will use that money. The increased salary analogy ties in with this idea that tickets prices in football will be cut as more and more TV money rolls in. It is complete bollocks.

 

As you've pointed out, the increases in TV income get swallowed up immediately by transfer fees, wages and agent fees so the fans buying tickets don't benefit in any way. With the proposed tax cuts in the States, companies will keep more of the revenue earned but it won't be redistributed to the workers, it will be shareholders and other investors who will see that money in the form of increased dividends and other perks to benefit the wealthy few.

 

The monetisation of football has nothing to do with Kenny mind you.

Oh and apparently none of Henry, Werner or Gordon could make it today, they all had plans. Considering they decided this renaming thing a year ago, you would think one of them could have checked their diary and made the effort to attend. 

 

The sooner they're gone and we get someone in that is going to give us free solar power the better.

Probably keeping a low profile after firing the Red Sox manager John Farrell this week.

Alex Ferguson and Bobby Charlton attend our poxy owners don't - says it all.

[dylstar]

Dalglish: “It’s great to see Sir Alex and Sir Bobby here. There’s rivalry but there’s never been a game when we’ve not had a drink."

 

I refuse to believe they had a bevy after the Suarez/Evra game at Old Trafford.

1 down, 1 to go....

[Josef Svejk]

The return of Dalglish as manager, like that of Fowler as player, were beautiful moments.

I refuse to believe Taggart has gone ten minutes without a drink. The purple nosed, piss stained, old cunt.

[Strontium]

I have been in the same room as him. If you're ever in the presence of a truly great man, they give off this aura of greatness - I don't know how else to describe it - and Kenny unmistakably has that. As an atheist, it's the closest I'll ever get to God.

I watched it live he did not say 'Sir Alex' but Fergie!

[Harry Squatter]

Bobby Charlton and Alex Ferguson turn up. Probably know that they are not the most popular people round here but still pay their respects to him. However, our esteemed owners don't bother showing their faces.

[TheHowieLama]

From now on they should just send Linda over.

[Juniper]

Used to speak to Kenny frequently in my last job for a couple years and he was everything I hoped he would be. Would always ask how I was doing and was a gent each time we spoke.

 

Had a wicked sense of humour too. Loved him even more after that.

[TheHowieLama]

Just makes me hate you more.

[The Golden Eel]

Of course he did. Not even up for debate in my mind. Best player to wear the shirt in years. Ferguson couldn't let that go unpunished so he orchestrated the whole thing.

 

Nah, I don't buy that tbh. Evra made it up and got caught in a big lie that he had to keep up. And apparently no one outside Liverpool gave much of a fuck about it outside of what the twats in the media were saying.

They must have been busy. It's not as if they would deliberately blank KK, right?

 

[s(k)aturation]

No reason whatsoever that Kenny - with Suarez at his disposal - couldn't have taken us to at least 2nd in another two years, like Rodgers did.

 

Who knows, maybe even one better.

Definitely should have been given the chance to find out.

Fair enough mate, we're all entitled to our beliefs.

 

You're wrong, like. Defo.

I like to believe there's an alternate universe where Kenny is in charge that year and he tells Stevie to wear longer studs.

[Tj hooker]

I've got no problem with a bit of gamesmanship, but the depths that whisky faced cunt sank to at times were nothing short of despicable. Ably aided and abetted by the media.

In a nutshell

I honestly don't think so... It originated on the pitch and escalated from there because of Evra and Evra alone...

If it was Evra alone why did Suarez admit to using the word "negro"?

Lets not go down that road again as 'negg-ro simply means black in Spanish rather than a perjorative 'nee-gro' in English.
