Not the Keane thing again.

Squabbling over the odd million is irrelevant. Facts are (Rafa loves facts) he was a collossal waste of money. Whether he breached the magic 20m barrier or not, he was bought for a lot of money, and sold only a few months down the line for a lot less money.

Let's all move on shall we?

Now you tell me where I have said anything different to what you said. You show me where I rubbished anything Daniel Levy said or the fact that the initial cost was £19m + incentives.

I wouldn't call £3m + the potential to get it all back a lot less, less yes, but not the £8m the thickos still quote.

Who knows? Only time will tell, I guess, I'm not fully certain of what Parry's role is, but from the things I've read on him, his reign at the club has been a failure.

I think the accepted wisdom is that Parry and Benitez don't get on or, at least, Benitez doesn't like the level of influence Parry has over transfers and that this has been one of the sticking points in his deal.

I'm sure that Parry is a fine chief exec but it's no choice, surely, between him and Rafa.

You've not been here much have you - actual discussion of real football has no place on this thread. This is for d*ck measuring contests between Manchester United/FCUM fans and Liverpool fans, with the occasional Evertonian and Man City fan chipping in.

Harsh, but fair. No foul, play on.

Ahh, "real" football. Is that what the "real" fans watch?
