i thought the award given to mr mccabe warranted a mention in the football section.the award goes a long way to explain uniteds and his continuing involvement in china.
(see tonights business pages in the star.)

I think he's referring to this story. (http://www.thestar.co.uk/business/Jolly-good-fellowship-for-Blades.6079764.jp)
It can't hurt to have a top-class businessman running the club, I suppose.
I've no idea what one of these is though it's nice for anyone to be recognised for their contribution.
But to my western ears it does sound remarkably like something that you can order and download over the internet for $99 :)
Not sure if I'd be proud of an award that has been given to Andrew Lloyd Webber :gag:

i dont think anyone doubts Mr McCabe's business prowess, its his interest in continuing to fund SUFC that people are now worried about

He doesn't seem interested in building a good squad, that much is clear.

Any quality we get ends up sold.
The squad Robson took over was one of the best I have ever seen in the championship.
Where is it now.

No problem scooby, the problem is not many on here can discuss football facts and go off on one when you prove them wrong on anything, a simple "oh yeh I see what you mean" would suffice.
They make straffords ridiculous publicity stunts or McCabes penny pinching the main thing they post about.
Even then their lack of common sense shows through and even the simplest of questions becomes a burden for them.
They then resort to mind games as a last resort and when they are shown to be lacking in that department the insults and dummy spitting follows.
Keep posting football mate and they will soon vanish.
Up the BLADES.
