Did you really expect a sensible reply from him?

The man is clearly not a full shilling.

It's fine for him to insult McCabe and Blackwell using words like cnuts and fcuk (amongst his childish "words") but you not allowed to give him some of his own medicine.

I'm not bothered.........you can give me owt yer want including mi own medicine.
The statement football and business don't mix is used often.
My interpritation of the phrase is: Its hard to make money from owning a football club....which i wud agree with.

Beighton stop now.

You are making yourself look even more foolish...and that is one hell of an achievement.

Can you explain please?

 

[Bert]

Would you like a list of football club owners who have made money from it?

Do you really think that top level football isn't a business?

If you give me a list of football club owners who have made money from it i'll give you a list of owners/investors who have lost money that will make your list look tiny.

Oh its a business alreight...its just that its not a gud un !
I'll take property every day of the week.

Look forward to yer list.

Doesn't that make Mr McCabe an even smarter cookie, and a bloke doing exactly what you would do?

Hey up Foxy......

I've always said he's a smart cookie ....but not wi football.
The 'comfort zone' in property has always been big ..... in football i don't think there is one

 

[Bert]

Ken Bates, Alan Sugar, Martin Edwards, Doug Ellis, The Moores family, The Hill-Woods, Hall and Shepherd etc.

It can and has been done. Don't bother to reply Bert is bored already.

Voted McCabe
He has to take responsability for the appointment of the manager and coaching staff ,the budget and decisions to sell key players, the dillution of focus in SUFC by the aquisition of other clubs and off field activities.

The latter was the thing supposed to make us recession proof , provide revenue beyond the football club revenue and create a global brand.

Like many I support a football club ,not a corporate entity , a football club . 11 players in red and white at 3 o'clock on a saturday in sheffield .
Just Imagine if all the Investment, Focus , Effort ,Expertise, had been placed on the only thing that actually matters to us all.

I'm afraid once Mr Murdoch brought his money to the table and we all bought into sky sports,it stopped being about 11 men in red and white.

I suppose you believe everything in the media too Alien. I think BB is sometimes too vocal, and seeing some things for myself I am more inclined to have round about the same opinion as BB.

That's the problem with footy fans, if you have a very strong opinion the opposite to the majority, people hate it.

I can't stand Killa, never liked him as a player, yet people stuck up for him blah blah blah. And because you may meet him in the street or somewhere, people say he's a top lad, but he's a dick to work around. A handful knew he was arrogant, the rest thought he was our best player......

Mccabe is a brilliant businessman, but thats it....business comes first, football second. There are things going on behind the scenes, a lot even I'm not involved in. But my work finishes down at the lane soon, and I can't wait.

I've said before, when you work down there, you lose interest in club. A lot of familiar faces don't go to many games anymore, because you put up with day in day out something that slowly kills your love for the club.

Look at me I work at the lane and have more of an insite than All of you. Oooh nearly forgot mi mate BB he Knows loads o people down at lane to and we know it all.

 

[Mad Mick]

lol
I reckon BB should be on Universally Challenged

 

[Houso]

McCabe could be blamed for appointing Blackwell and Robson, but I refuse to vote for him simply because of what BB implies by his inclusion in the poll.

On the point of BB, and accepting that the forum is in danger of eating itself, I do find the tolerance of some of his posts to be a tad strange. He constantly implies that McCabe is up to something less than ethical or on oft occasion legal, yet when someone has the temerity to have a go at him for this, it's them who get their hands slapped.

Fair play to BB as he doesn't take offence from it, and he's very self-aware that he's trolling for the most part. He's also clearly bonkers and no little obsessed, which means I love his posts. He's like Len's retarded brother who has been given a laptop for Christmas.

 

[Ollessendro]

Culprit for what exactly Beighton?

 

[Bladesway]

Culprit for what exactly Beighton?

The war in Iraq, the birth of G W Bush, the fact that there is a fly in my soup? Who really cares.

Its his opinion and whether he sounds like a broken record, he is a troll and smells of rotting fish it really doesn't matter.

Take a chill FFS, it's actually not important.

:fishbowl:

I'm afraid once Mr Murdoch brought his money to the table and we all bought into sky sports,it stopped being about 11 men in red and white.

Once goalkeepers started wearing green shirts it stopped being about eleven men in red and white...........

And you prove yet again why I can't be arsed with a lot of united fans.....I only know a tiny bit and thats more financial than anything else.

Like I said go see Mick Rooker, ask him how many games he goes to and why he doesn't.

And as for Judge, if someone had 30 mil to invest, would he invest it in the TEAM or PROPERTY i.e hotel....I'd bet my house it would be the hotel....but i know jack and you guys know it all

I was counting 1 substitute ..

 

[Highbury_Blade]

I think you are being very kind there Houso. I'd say he was more like True Blades's retarded brother. Or if i was being really nasty i'd say Curtis' windowlicking brother.

Hate to live in your house when you come home from work. The weight of the world and all united fans is on your conscience and shoulders and your getting fed up with the responsability.
GOT NEWS FOR YOU PAL.
Most on this forum have their own minds and dont want your help Or BB::thumbdown:

 

[Ollessendro]

Alien Woodward, comments like that are just bang out of order. Beighton might be annoying to some (or most) but being insultive is just unecessary. You might think that Bieghton is a wanker, but comig out and saying it like that just makes you look a tool.

Sure Beighton is like a stuck record, but so what. Personally I think it's pretty funny. His posts about McCheap and cheap as chips etc always make me chuckle. Of course I don't take nay of them seriously. Nor do I take the bait and bother replying. Don't you see that he is a wind up merchant and insulting him is playing into his hands? He clearly gets off on riling people.

As for the 7/8 who thanked Alien Woodward for calling Beighton a wanker, well you should all be ashamed of yourselves!

 

[matth]

What a lot of poisonous sniping. I've never seen a thread of its like on here before - sure there have been arguments occasionally, but this goes beyond.

Makes me sad to think of what this board once was.

 

[shorehamview]

I was counting 1 substitute ..

We got goalkeepers in green long before we got substitutes. And we also didn't. Ish. The first substitutes were for players who hadn't turned up. The first substitutes during play in English League Football were in the 65-66 season.

Anyhow, can I now please name another culprit? I blame the French. Why not? Nobody has blamed them for anything for ages now, the garlicky buggers.

 

[beightonblade]

and the winner is.......................................

cheap as chips

 

[beightonblade]

Thank you for all the contributions to this poll.
