Gillett's people have been at the club since first thing Monday morning working on the deal/books so I think the club HAS to be seen as giving it due consideration.

Hard to tell Arbeloa has been keeping him out of the team

It's not been announced. Just the Mail jumping the gun and everyone following.

Which is why it makes sense for FIFA to make the decision as late as possible.

not only that but 7 different scouts must have seen the lad in question play.

Bale to Spurs tomorrow.

the club's got a replica though which they often use for functions ... beware of fake European Cups. There was a big fuss when people paid to have their pics taken with it at an Echo event and it wasn't the actual Cup.

It's a verbal agreement Kev, not a contract.

Smith and Hughes were the two I was going to mention as well, so adjusting Knox's team: McQueen Gerrard Molby Spackman Whelan Nicol Lawrenson Smith Hughes Wark Barnes

He's great at generating business.

We were at the height of the economic depression in Liverpool at the time, hence the fall off from the attendances in the 70s.

We've been far more active in this area since Malcolm Elias arrived from Southampton as head of Academy Recruitment.

It's reclaiming the spirit of the end, not the physicality of it.

My very (as usual) simplistic take on it is this. DIC look for good investments with latent untapped value. They look at us, one of the world's leading sport "franchises" in the world's leading sport and think, hang on they're undervalued and with the right type of investment we could have a great asset as we diversify our portfolio using the oil wealth. Whoever the owner is a new stadium needs to be built thus it's a bit of a red herring in all this. If they fund it through cash or loan is pretty immaterial. Where they'll be looking for their return isn't in skimming off £20m a year into the DIC bank account, but in the rise in value of the club. If the plans of the stadium are realised, coupled with the increase in TV and sponsorship income, and added to success on the pitch, we should see the club's worth increase two-, three- or even four-fold. Moores hasn't got the money, or access to money, to unlock that potential, whereas DIC have and that's why they see us as a good investment.

Why? It's not just the official site but others high up at the club.

Owen, and to stretch the point, Murphy.

Foggiest game I've ever been to was in Arnhem, with the roof closed.

Arsenal's is worth £6.8m a year once separated from the naming deal for the stadium (55m over 8 years).

looks more like Jamie Oliver

Plans changed between that May 2002 announcement and the submission of the planning permission - effectively they filled in the corners to add the extra 6000.
