Well done AL, and as he said we are almost debt free. He’s doing okay in my opinion. I picked up this on twitter (was it you James?). It's a tad disingenuous of AL to say we are debt free, we owed £9.3m as of June 2017, and who is to say we have not added to creditors since then and since AL took over. I know it was something Corney said too, and I hope we are balancing the books day to day, but it's plaing with words! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have said club but difficult to say with that bleeding accent (also no malice before the brigade are out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midsblue Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 For those debating Scholes being a good or bad thing, the amount of media attention we’ve received today definitely places it as a great appointment for this club. Adrian Durham aside, the number of players, managers, media outlets and clubs wishing him all the best is testament to just how popular the lad is. When Solksjaer gets the United job permanently and having Butt as Head of Youth , there it wouldn’t surprise me that we’ll be towards the front of the queue in signing youth players from United on loan next season. Imagine what the likes of Tahith Chong, Callum Gribbin and Mason Greenwood could do for our midfield and strike force. It’s not just United, I’m certain other Prem clubs would welcome Scholes and Priest coaching their talent and playing for us. Still think we could sneak a play-off berth this season though .....

dannyboy55555 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Delighted with today. Apart from the devil on my shoulder saying it’s all going to somehow go tits up and not to be too positive. I think years of supporting this club has damaged my general optimism irreversibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitygoo Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 To say his main contacts are solksjaer and butt is a bit off... Just thinking quickly he'll have worked with the following.... Mclaran - QPR Kidd - City Not sure his personal relationship with gerrard/lampard but certainly played many times alongside so that potentially brings in Derby / Rangers. His contacts will be much wider than those he played with for united. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just that but if a big(ger) club has a promising young midfielder how likely are they to want that midfielder to learn from one of the greatest midfielders of the previous generation. There aren't many managers with his playing pedigree in the UK. Nevermind League 2 (Campbell is probably the closest). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the majority in the championship don't have Scholes standing in the game. This is a guy Pep Guardiola said was the one player who he would have loved to have played with for that reason alone he could easily open doors for us that were previously shut.

Durham absolutely slated scholes and really put us down as a club. Probably all for a reaction which he has got on Twitter. My blood was boiling listening to him. He also went on to state "Messi is another who's never challenged himself". As a good mate of mine pointed out on Twitter. We're really through the looking glass with that sensationalist wanker, aren't we? Does it for nothing more than callers clambering to phone in.
