We lost Ince.. it was all over..
We invested in youth.. it was all over..
We lost Cantona.. We'd never cope without him..
We then lost Schmeichel... we'll lose our drive..
We then lost Keane.. it was all over..
We then lost Beckham and replaced him with a show boater in Ronaldo.. it was all over..
We lost RVN.. it was all over.. no goals..
We lost Ronaldo.. now for sure it was over...

Even if he goes I think we've shown we'll cope..

Throughout all those times, they had Siralex.

Now it gets a little more interesting...

Leeds United linked to a sponsorship deal involving Red Bull, not sure if it's just names on shirts or the whole stadium naming and even club name, as they have done with other clubs abroad. More money to not spend on players.

I know.. but hold on isn't he a demented alcoholic who was over rated? or now suddenly he's the best manager ever....

We'll split the difference, he was the second best demented alcoholic manager, after Brian Clough. ;)

I have a feeling that's exactly what's going to happen. Not overnight, of course and not because Rooney could be leaving, but because Gollum just isn't up to the magnitude of the job. Tick Tock. :)

But when you've been saying this every year since 1995... you kind of lose your talent as a predictor.. of course one day it may happen.. but so far its been 20 guesses to 0 strikes...

Gollum looks like he has aged about 40 years since he took over!!
I can see an implosion. :w00t:

I'm sure you can...

Tell you what though Iain....whilst you and Chelsea have been battering 10 bells out of each other over Shrek we have calmly assembled a team capable of wresting back the title and making some impact in the Champions League too.:p

I know.. its just not like city to go out and spend 10's of millions on new players..

TBF at least this time its not just the name they have gone for.. we'll see..

Most open title for a good decade or so... Can't see anyone other than Utd, City or Chelsea though... Spurs and arsenal will challenge.. but can't see Liverpool being in it at all, and neither Everton...

We do need a midfielder though, too reliant on an aging Carrick... plus Scholes gone and Giggs must surely start to age..
