Article: Reds cash injection won't guarantee success

[John_Gotti]

The writer must be a Manc. What makes anybody think that it is £40m?

I am sure that that is what they want the press to know. I will be surprised if that is the case.

If you remember Gillett's interveiw when they bought Moore's shareholding, he said something like "naming rights might be worth one big signing a year".


I will be surprised that it is £40m only: more like £60m in season 2007/08; then £40m in the following seasons.

Also, I feel that we are nearer to the top two this season than last even if the points gap is wider. Rotation takes place if your quality players are not fresh at the begining of the season: you have to keep the players fresh. We have not had a proper pre-season apart from Rafa's first one: 2005/06 we had to qualify from the first round. 2006/07 world cup finals.

I am sure next season will be different.

Perverse though the argument is, I agree. I feel kinda dirty now.

Nothing we don't already know then. Just posting 'cos it was one of the featured articles on the espn soccernet site.

P.S- I thought Dirk Kuyt cost 10.9 million pounds and not 9?

Where did that article come from?
