Musty Posted 23 February 2007 Share Posted 23 February 2007 :eek: Not since the days when we 'nearly signed' Johan Cruyff in the early 80's have i been so excited by a headline...sadly though we're not considering buying Becks out his £128 million deal with Galaxy...in fact Mandy's just playing down the impact he'll have on the game in the States. Full article here if yr interested... http://www.fansfc.com/frontpage/frontpagen...p?newsid=163090 ...interesting to think our chairman was such a big player in the previous US soccer boom though (took Georgie Best to San Jose)...i wonder if his American links will come to benefit us?? Maybe a pre-season tour there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that we should expect to see lots more of these comments during Milans time here, he loves to speak to the media and it should only help to raise the profile of the club if we keep appearing on BBC sport, sky sports etc. lets just hope he doesnt say anything really stupid!!

Thracian Posted 23 February 2007 Share Posted 23 February 2007 This lifting of the profile will be massively important and is something the club have missed so much that we've been gradually downgraded to the status of relatively inconsequential. It is high time we were associiated with key players once more and involved in all the razzamataz that goes with promoting football week by week. Yes, I know so much of the hype is no more than bullshit. But you only had to be at Burnley Tuesday to realise how soon you can get left behind. Once proud Burnley scratching around for 10/11,000 followers... The bandwagon might be tasteless and indecently expensive. But you've sure gotta be on it.

This made me laugh. Quite a bit. I liked it. In a sad sort of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is funny though I bet he'd thought of it absolutely ages ago because he's a very sad man with too much spare time on his hands - more chuffed because he finally got to use it than because it's funny!
