i'm using shinawatra as one example of why we shouldn't just take any money just because it's on the table. in my eyes mittal would be just as negative an influence on LFC as shinawatra, even if he has never sanctioned a human rights atrocity as a steel magnate.

so we can look some 'gift horses' in the mouth?

it's clearly glamourising crucifixion, duh!

so would you be happy if, say, thaksin shinawatra was back in the frame for investment?

they also appear to have a progressive, forward-thinking ethos, with a particular emphasis on building a good education system.

that's a given. not just in footy, either. it's normally either a vanity exercise or a philanthropic project*. i'll take the latter and hope it's never the former. * maybe sometimes even both

i don't think there's enough of them to go round. i read some of the stuff that eskimo posted about dubai holdings in this thread. i don't know how close he is to the mark, nor how much of what is on those sites is kosher, but assuming they practice what they preach, they seem like a good bunch that aren't just about making money. just fyi. the personal message service doesn't exist. you can use the email option though.

robert kraft? is he at billionaire level? do we have to chase billionaires only?

solidarity comrades!

oops... i think when it comes to 'public order' the fa can intervene, regardless of the ref's (in)action

it was that 'heinous' a transgression, that it didn't even warrant a mention in the motd2 post-match analysis. i bet the tyneside constabulary are unlikely to come pounding on his door either. anyone think the fa will throw the book at cisse? gary neville's celebration was just as childish and foolish, but in a different context. the manc police had warned the club about that kind of incident in the past and felt sufficiently concerned for public order to have spoken to the club and player again after the fact.

i was surprised at how warmly stevie g embraced djib after the goal. it was a good pass, but didn't think it merited more than a firm handshake
