Wish I was taking the piss. Mag just came into work (Alice Springs), wearing his Shearer testimonial gravy bib, chortling "tal nueva bee az class az tha entataynaz"

City are set up for life, Liverpool will only be up there as long as Klopp sticks around - their owners don't spend enough unless it involves selling a top player to keep them up their unless they have one of the best managers around keeping them punching above their weight.

Its why im slightly sceptical of American ownership - Kroenke is a very wealthy bloke and married into the Walton Dynasty yet spends very little on players same as the Glazers and as I mentioned FSG at Liverpool.

Whether these guys do things differently who knows however as said FFP is a bastard in trying to compete with the plastic clubs already dining at the table.

He came out and said they are changing their spending habits after getting tonked in the Europa League Final.

They've just had a clear out, which I guess clears them for spending in January. They are desperate for 2 quality centre halfs and holding midfielder.

There is nothing at all wrong with dreaming of better times ahead. I think most of us have had enough reality checks over the years not to get too carried away by what sounds too good to be true. However I've got no doubt, judging by his posting history, that Reiver has genuine inside information posted to this board in good faith. Something big is happening of that I've no doubt We'll just have to be patient and hope the take-over happens. If not we should still be good enough to at least make the play-offs despite my misgivings about the manager's awful style of play.
