Guest Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 Mark de Vries and Rab Douglas are not our work colleagues anyway. A good job, in my case.
The People's Hero Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 I wasted a serious point on a poor joke.Why are people going on about knowing their work colleagues salaries? Mark de Vries and Rab Douglas are not our work colleagues anyway. I know my colleagues' salaries... but it's a small company and stuff. I never asked to know them. I don't have a right to know them as such. Actually.. I might. Anyway, I think we're all agreed that de Vries isn't worth a fiver a week to us at the moment, let alone some of the figures bandied upon here. It's like Elvis though. In a way, I have a grudging respect for the way that they've taken such little talent and made such a grotesque amount of money out of it.

The People's Hero Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 When you put it like that, they sound like my role models. Basically, we need to be blacker and fitter.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 Basically, we need to be blacker and fitter. I got a bit sunburnt yesterday and I haven't been swimming for a while so I'm a long way off the target at the moment.
Thracian Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 What the hell does it matter?. It only provokes envy and bitterness. It also pays testimony to people's greed, their preoccupation with fickle status, the illusion of worthiness through power and control plus so much more that demeans a human being. Ask Alan Ball and George Best if money measures anything that matters. All that remains now they're gone is not what they were paid, where they lived or what car they drove but simply what they did, how they did it and how they are remembered. And when the One Great Scorer Comes....

Hullfox Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 Ask Alan Ball and George Best if money measures anything that matters. I've tried but they're not returning my calls
Manwell Pablo Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 I can fix up a seance? I'm hearing a voice, It's saying .....wait...... I retired at 27to be a full time drinking playboy in America..... Money Measures...... Vodka, and that matters.
Thracian Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 I've tried but they're not returning my calls Heavenly wisdom!
Manwell Pablo Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 Heavenly wisdom! Being serious your examples are beyond appauling, one alcholic who retired from football to live the life of riley and open a night club to make more money. And another bloke who sold his World Cup winners medal to make money
Thracian Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 I can fix up a seance? Scary what they're teaching law students now to get at the truth!
The People's Hero Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 Being serious your examples are beyond appauling, one alcholic who retired from football to live the life of riley and open a night club to make more money. And another bloke who sold his World Cup winners medal to make money You're absolutely right. I did at first wonder whether it was another of Hullfox's gems, it was so ridiculously Thracian, but, it was Thracian! Still, let's not let something as trifling as facts cloud what was otherwise a semi-convincing argument from our resident style-over-substance wordsmith!

And another bloke who sold his World Cup winners medal to make money Or put another way, one bloke who took the opportunity to live away from another person by going through a transplant op and another who didn't.
Hullfox Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 Heavenly wisdom! If such a place exists, do you actually think that Best would be there?
The People's Hero Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 He'd be learning the old trick of turning water in to wine. Actually, if anyone knows it.....
Hullfox Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 He'd be learning the old trick of turning water in to wine.Actually, if anyone knows it..... I'm working on it. So far I've perfected the art of turning lager into piss.
The People's Hero Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 I'm working on it.So far I've perfected the art of turning lager into piss. I wish Carling would at least attempt the reverse process before selling it back to us...
Daggers Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 Where was this thread when I was all pissed off at having fallen down the stairs and trodden on a slug in my bare feet?
The People's Hero Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 Just a sparkle of an ill-thought out comparison in Thracian's eye?
NorthernFox Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 I've said my entire life that I would give a limb, play for peanuts just to pull on the blue shirt for 1 game but in truth life just isnt like that. If we were that talented we would still have an agent and still probaly ask for more than we deserved. Bring on wage capping!!
Floating Fox Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 Who'd you reckon this I8AM is then? If you re-arrange the name I-hate(8)-MA (Martin Allen) Is this a pissed off player becasue Mad dogs already told him to fck off? Conspiracy
Nationwider Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 You can't have a go at Alan Ball for selling his World Cup medal - the bloke just wanted to make some cash for his family's future security. Obviously as a 50+ year-old ginger short-arse, the Gillette and Hugo Boss ad offers had begun to dry up a little. Bally was a top bloke. It was just a pity only dogs could hear him speak.
Ultra Posted 4 June 2007 Posted 4 June 2007 What the hell does it matter?. Because every penny we pay Douglas and MDV is money that could have been spent on employing players of REAL quality at our club. It also helps to explain why the previous board were so anxious to offload the club to Mandaric. God knows how he must feel at having to bankroll these wasters.
