Your doing it again! Since when does your opinion become a fact?The difference between you and the posters you mention is that they read what I write and then adjust their position. Unfortunately with you the determination to argue your point means that you change your position on a continuous basis and ignore valid reasons that differ with your view. You also post stuff as fact because it suits you to do so, despite having no proof or knowledge that it's right to do so.You argue budgets, salaries and reasons for managers leaving when you have absolutely nothing to base that upon apart from your opinion. Despite me offering the right version you continue to argue, there's no debate with you, just your strongly held view which gets repeated over and over.Ferguson stated at the time the contract offer to coppinger would be in reduced terms. Jonathan hasn’t adjusted his position, he clearly felt the money hasn’t been invested on an experienced midfielder and cover for Marquis. Same view as myself. I couldn’t care less about the budget, but shouting about it being bigger than last years back in May was silly.

I find it amazing how you keep changing horses just to support your opinion.At the time DF left you were convinced it was all about the budget. You argued with me, changed my words, misreported what I'd written and generally told me that we were lying. For someone who doesn't care about the budget you've banged on about it for long enough.

Now you've changed your stance and it's a clutch of posters being too defensive of the board instead. In other words, if several voices disagree with yours then lump them all together and brand them untrue.Plenty of irony here I feel. And I don't just go against you for the sake of it, I was on your side more often than not last season in the Fergie debates as you well know.

Dickos, it's only opinion on your part. And that's your problem, you take your opinion more seriously than those who understand these things better.

And I don't just go against you for the sake of it, I was on your side more often than not last season in the Fergie debates as you well know.Because whatever I say you’ll just argue back again, just going around in circles You think we haven’t spent money this summer because McCann doesn’t think he needs to I think it’s because there isn’t any money available to him. That’s the difference, so all the other side arguments are irrelevant really cause we’ll never agree due to the main difference of opinion
We can do this again if you’d like to1, I don’t have a mate that works at cantley Park2, Ferguson was told he couldn’t sign the players he wanted in January. You might not be aware of this but that’s ok. It happened though. 3, you always bring up whiteman, whiteman wasn’t on the list of players he wanted to sign, as he was on loan Signing him was a last minute decision when he almost signed for someone else.Same with the two centre halves, as they came much later. So signing those players certainly doesn’t prove he was told he couldn’t pursue his targets in jan. 4, I’ve said many times the loan issue was a rumour5, He didn’t over hear a conversation between Ferguson and someone else.You’re hilarious how you make all these things up in an effort to make the things I say look less plausible
