Scott the Red needs to get his facts right OMS. Tony Barrett contacted the ambulance service after the stories came out 6 years ago - they confirmed that at no point did anybody rock or attempt to overturn the ambulance. The so called attack consisted of a single beer being thrown and some people shouting.

Pretty poor from Scott to try and twist facts in an attempt to peddle lies. Out of interest, do you know if he's still selling the baby clothes referencing Heysel?

Classy guy is Scott.

Don't go on sites promoting why it's okay for your fans and players to sing 'we've won it 3 times without murdering anyone'


Also Baz that isn't that the site with the t shirts and baby clothes with the above song on it is it ? :o

Edit: Nvm didn't read your whole post seems it is

Your posts would have been a lot more useful if they had stopped after Baz's first paragraph. I wasn't attempting to suggest the RoM article was 100% accurate, just thought it was a bit odd that it's taken Alan Smith 6 years to come out with this stuff, why not in the weeks after when it was actually relevant? If his story corroborates with Tony Barrett's findings then fair enough.

I also wasn't aware that by posting an article for discussion that I endorsed all its contents along with everything else on the site, and I don't really appreciate the insinuation that I do.

Back to lurking for me I think, can't do anything on here without the Liverpool fans getting offended. :o
 
I don't believe for one minute that you endorsed all the content of the site - I was just making it clear what a **** Scott is. A lot has been said about the behaviour of Liverpool and Utd fans over the last few weeks but things will never improve while the likes of Scott are running fansites that attract a large amount of supporters.

Not really, you think any Prem club let a lone Newcastle would stick by him if he finished bottom half this season and started poorly next? I'm not saying that will happen but 8 years is highly presumptuousness of him achieving what he did last year.
 
As Azza's mentioned, there's got to be some sort of clause in there that allows Newcastle to sack him without having to pay him off (the full amount of his deal anyway). If not then it's lunacy.

Well, it kind of is stability signing an 8 year contract.

They obviously have faith in him to build upon what he's already achieved in terms of the clubs stature and status.

It's a funny game, everyone wants the next Sir Alex or Wenger but are unwilling to give managers the time.
 
Have Wenger or Ferguson ever even been on 8 year contracts though? It just strikes me as way too much to lose for those in charge.

Arsenals profits to £36.6m before tax. Shame wages increased by £20m last season though: still some fat to trim from the squad. Hopefully it will be even bigger next year with a new shirt sponsorship deal. We are only getting ~£13.5m/season from emirates + nike. Liverpool get £25m from Warrior and £20m from Standard Charter.

Arsenal's £36.6m profit would have been a near £30m loss had it not been for the sales of Fabregas, Nasri + a few others - which is quite alarming.

Arsenal's Emirates shirt deal is actually a lot less than £10m per season too, at around £6m per season iirc and around £8m from Nike. Liverpool's Warrior deal is effectively worth a fair bit more than £25m too.
