We did have televisions in the 80s. People around the game were capable of watching more than one team. And even today, there's no real measure, it's subjective. But Southall was seen as.

 the worlds best beyond goodison park. You can like it or not, but he just was. It's no different to Pele being proclaimed one of the greatest ever. Rooney was never regarded in that class, he was always a tier down from there. A talented player, who had a fantastic career. But was never the absolute top tier. 

 

Ahem.

Southall was fucking brilliant. One thing I never argued with Blues about was how great he was. I'd argue about everything else, but not that.

To be fair I've been to both places multiple times both with the reds and without. I've still no idea which one is which. And I can throw Sofia into that magical 

They are beating Sheffield Utd ( as expected) If it stays that way I imagine they hit the button marked "administration" by 17.00.

I thought there was no gain for that? That you had to go into administration by march?

I thought I read a post here that said the 9pts wouldn't count till next season if administration was after March, on the other hand if they win today 9pts wouldnt send them down. I'm frequently confused so I could be wrong. But the amount bunged by 777 could be to see funding to a now known date. Just surmising.

Until recently my understanding was it was applied in the season you're in, but I'm sure someone posted on here that's not true and there's a march cut off.

Ok but the current season calculation still applies, 9pts doesn't send them down if applied now. The cunts

How (and more importantly, why) are 777 putting even more money in?

Classic throwing good money after bad.  They either stay in the ownership race and hope for a miracle allowing them to recover some of their cash somehow  or walk away and risk administration wiping out their unsecured loans.

Oh yeah, if they can get away with it now, they absolutely should do it. So the question is if they're allowed to do it and land the deduction this season?

 

To be fair, the mess of them I think they should be going into administration as soon as the last game is over. They can't possibly last into next season under the current situation and it becomes impossible (in law at least) for their directors to allow them to continue trading when there likelihood is they can't pay the bills. Which surely that's the case now with the mess 777 are in. The PL should accelerate that process by calling them not fit and proper owners once the season is done and cancel the takeover process.

Just shut them down. Some things are more important than football
