I doubt you'd find anyone that would argue he gets results.

What is thought by many, including me, is that he is very good at getting owners of football clubs to spend money they haven't got...

At Villa for example, he spent £120m on transfer fees during his time at the club and recouped only £30m. Not to mention more than doubled their annual wage bill. When Lerner decided the old adage of speculating to accumulate wasn't working, he reined O'Neil in. Who sulked and resigned.

Warnock to Leeds.

I doubt he's got enough time to properly make a promotion charge, but maybe next year?

One of the better options taken from Wolves as well.

10 points off 2nd with 14 games to go,very achievable if he can shore up the defense.My dad's a Leeds fan so I have an interest.I think he's a great choice and fully expect promotion in the next year 15 months time frame.

Anyone want two tickets to Arsenal's end of season party? I've just been given them but I can't get tomorrow off work.

You say its a sad state of affairs... Are you ready for your team to surrender some of its wealth, chances of european success and help out the other teams ?

Not sure of the exact numbers but...

Championship teams get about £2 million in parachute payments from the Prem...
League One teams get about £200k in parachute payments...
Legue Two teams get about £100k in parachute payments....

From that fucking monumental TV deal the Prem signed...

Considering the team relegated from the Prem gets two years FULL TV money... It doesn't take a genius to work out how much extra the other teams have to spend if they want to get into the prem...

The not suers are the ones that might have done it via some sort of organic growth... The rest either had previous perm money and / or massive backing...

EDIT... It didn't format properly sorry

It was lifted from wiki... It had runners up and points...

metallimuse · February 19, 2012

Hmm, I'd say that's too late.

metallimuse · February 19, 2012

Everyone take a look at the top four teams in the SPL...

...now take the first letter from every team starting with 4th and go up...

...what does it spell?

The universe is against us I swear lol!

**kaosmark2** · February 19, 2012

Really!?!?
10 points from automatic promotion with 14 games left?That's 42 points left to play for,I don't see how that's ''too late''.As Barry said aswell,they're only 4 points from the play off spots.
In my opinion if Warnock can shore up the defense Leeds are a shoe in.They have no problem going forward and scoring it's just the defense which has let them down and in the past couple of games they've conceeded goals very late which with abit more concentration should stop.
Call my bluff but I would put money on Leeds making the play offs this year.Not saying they will win once they get there though mind lol.Pot luck at that stage.I have faith though.

The end play is the European Super League...

All the top teams competing in a NFL style competition... The rest of football will be relegated to a part time game.

Now I LOVE the NFL... But its always been that way... This is bastardising the game I used to love. 22 year season ticket holder... Not anymore... Its utterly pointless... Oldham stand no chance of winning anything again... The slim chance of hitting the big time (like we did in the late 80s / 90s is no more)... Its not even a remote dream now. Its impossible.

Not interested anymore other than to stick sky on every now and then...

quite like them myself, my favorite utd shirt was the one with all the names written into the shirt!

**kaosmark2** · February 19, 2012

I still maintain the worst shirt ever in existence was our yellow+yellow stripes away strip of a few years back. Fuck that was hideous.

**The Nal** · February 19, 2012

Worst shirts ever? Jorge Campos had quite the selection.

Also, Ronaldo scored again last night. 121 goals in 123 games for Madrid!

Pretty bad, but as bad as the Sunderland away shirt of a couple years before that quite literally looked like shit? Diarrhoea brown/green...

None are quite as bad as http://4.bp.blogspot...00/IMG_2804.JPG
