Well you seem quite happy for other businesses to lose money as long as the football clubs are ok.
Quote: carl_spackler "A CVA/Liquidation or the like always mean some suffer. All I'm saying is the logical thing to do is try to minimise the repurcussions. Making other football clubs and players preferential creditors is an attempt to do this.'"
It minimises the repercussions for football clubs, and that is all.
Quote: carl_spackler "I think people are perhaps only looking at this in terms of the high end of football and having their view biased by the obscene amounts of money and the rich seemingly getting looked after. The thing is, if you look at how lower-league clubs can be affected by situations like this, the current practice could be a godsend.'"
For football clubs. Everyone else can go swing.

That's what I doubt happening, yes. I'm not saying it can't, I just wouldn't expect it to.

Selective reading on your part. I've now said more than once that it isn't right, it's just logical. Once the situation arises it's a case of trying to minimise the repurcussions as you say. It's not possible for everyone to come out of it ok, otherwise the mess wouldn't even be there.

Both these 2 comments shortsightedly see the clubs themselves as the only entities benefitting. The fact is, the clubs most likely have far more stakeholders than any of the other creditors.
I'll say it one more time as clearly as I can, as you seem to think I [ilike[/i the way things are: I don't think it's right that some people/business won't be getting all of their money owed (I can hugely sympathise, it's part of what I do for a living), however, I can see the sense in why football clubs are considered preferential creditors in order to prevent a house of cards effect. |

Ireland's a better player than Milner.
I can't wait to see Milner flop, he is grossly overrated, like, it's disturbing how he is valued over £10m. Has many limitations for such a dear player, not sure where he'll end up playing, an average winger and a midfielder without playmaking/controlling abilities, or particularly great defensive discipline or positioning. Add to that you aren't getting great athleticism or a powerful, dominant figure, it's hard to see what exactly City see in him, other than his great stats in a very limited Villa side.
Sometimes, you see a signing that has dumb written allover it, this is definitely a dumb signing, in my opinion.

Ha, I wish. You got the Catalan bit right though, he plays for Barcelona Under 15's (not sure what the proper name of the team is). |

You can't say I didn't try and tell you, Andy.  |

I see Strachan's experiment in how the old firm would get on in the English leagues didn't get off to the best of starts.

Its a deliberate ploy by Capello to highlight how shallow the English talent pool is. |

The Goalkeeping pool just got (a little) rlshallowerrl.
