• “Nobody would know what CMC Markets is, and I doubt that anybody would care to look it up.”What is the point of that statement? We are their vehicle for advertising them, not the other way around. That is why they pay us for the privilege.As for the ‘gambling’ link, I am of the opinion that there are degrees of potential harm with many things in life and you can’t simply lump everything together. Easily accessed addictive, thrill-associated, betting can ruin desperate people. People who are spread betting through CMC are surely much more likely to be relatively wealthy and only risking what they can easily spare. ...

• Conor, TFG took over a 6th place club, they remained a 6th place club, and they're still a 6th place club. They didn't take the club down. ...

• Wrong Mike Here is some of the achievements of James PallottaChampions League qualification 5 successive seasonsRomas second best ever Champions League campaign when beaten in the semi finalRomas best series A record came under his tenure 87 points which would have won the league in many other years.Over his entire reign only the juggernaut of Juve at their pomp had accrued more points than Roma did under PallottaCoppa Italia finalistsPallotta achieved all this while continually having to balance the books with 3 second place finishes in his tenure. He didn't have the funds to make them a super power.I heard you eulogise over TFG winning the conference league under TFG. For f*** sake under Pallotta they were competing at the top end of the table.and never in that competition.Palottas record.

  Kevin Molloy in Will TFG offer David Moyes a new deal in the summer?
• Mark #283... "... we can't unless it fits with our revenue base. And as I said, our revenue base is that of a mid table club."Our revenue base is, or rather has been, well in arrears of other mid-table clubs like Villa, West Ham, Newcastle and even Brighton. We've been under £200m, about 1/4 of the big boys. That may change significantly by summer. I believe Angus projected a 50% revenue increase, which certainly seems possible with the new shirt deal, the new sponsorships with Budweiser/Pepsi/Heinz, and the sales of Goodison and the women's team. Revenues of £300m would give TFG a shopping budget of ~£250m under the new SCR rules, which set a ceiling of 85% of revenues. How close TFG comes to that spending cap will tell us a lot about their ambitions for the club. ...
  Mike Gaynes in Will TFG offer David Moyes a new deal in the summer?
• Perhaps you need the list of managers who have won trophies without managing one of the massively wealthy clubs again, Ian ?I can always put that up again for you, but I'm not sure there would be any point. You wriggled and squirmed last time I put it up in response to your challenge.You're doing that wriggling and squirming thing again Now you been given an incredibly lengthy list of the players who succeeded before Moyes and after him, but never while playing for him.No need for an abacus regarding Moyes staggeringly poor away record at these grounds. We just have to count the scars.KevinI rarely give Moyes's record a second thought. Why would I want to relive all that shame ?But when I see people like you peddling intelligence insulting nonsense about Moyes having the best away record in the league. I feel compelled to expose your little porkie. I say porkie because it's not a mistake. You have been put right by a number of posters, but you continue to peddle it....
