Gravesen will not be on Galatico wages at Rel Madrid.The realisation that "workers" don't get "star" money has contributed to Viera's poorer form this year.Allegedely.

If he is going to be paid £47,000 per week I'm appalled.

Rangers have bid for Ferguson as his agent has told them his client wants to leave and go back to Rangers.Rovers have turned down the bid and told Rangers Ferguson is not for sale. According to Radio Lancs, Williams and the player have been in talks -yesterday-but he was unwilling to say what the talks were about.He did admit "there had been rumblings". The commentator from Glasgow said that Murray appears very keen to bring back Ferguson and said "most of the things Murray wants to happen end up happening".

(partly).

Alan75-I had the same reaction when I read the LET-why weren't we speaking directly to him? What I can't square about his being linked with his previous club was partly his wish to get away from Glasgow religious bigotry.

In the LET it suggested the club wanted to talk to Ferguson's agent because the stories linking Ferguson to Rangers don't go away.

I'm fed up of 30 year olds coming to my club for their last big pay-off. I also don't want players only to come because we've tapped them up and we're offering more than they're currently earning and that's their only reason for coming.

Looking back in history, I see Rovers lost to Cardiff in the 1925 semi-final.But in 1958 beat them 2-1 in a replay.If I'm right, this was before floodlights and some Schools,including Junior ones,let pupils attend the game.How times change.

Yeading weren't allowed to play their game at home.

He won't be able to play until his international clearance comes through.

It sounds as though Hotels in some areas will be re-built further back than they were originally.

"We won't pay over the odds......Our second bid was substantially increased.......He is their player and they are entitled to turn our bid down.They are determined to hold onto their player......We'll look to regroup and see where we go from there but we are not in a position to overpay for players.We have to be extremely careful with our money and we've made a good offer.But the club clearly don't need the money and there's no way we can overpay." John Williams in the LET.

Savage is playing for Birmingham Reserves tomorrow(Radio Lancs). Rangers want to take Ferguson back for a cut-price fee(BBC teletext).

In the past Rovers supporters have suggested a player should rot in the Reserves rather than go to the club where he appears to have engineered a move to get to.

I have come across the idea that the 4th official knew it had crossed the line but there was no mechanism for him to let the ref know.

Ah well, I still don't rate him.

Imagine Barton and Thompson together!!

Not sure how good the defending was during the match-Angel should have scored when he went round Brad, they hit the woodwork as well as making other chances(Radio Lancs). It was the first goal scored by Villa in their last 4 matches and they had lost their previous 4 matches.Villa were hungrier from the start(Sunday Telegraph).

I understand the USA have undertaken to increase their contribution by a factor of 10.

It's certainly clear to me.

The premiership clubs are going to donate £50,000 each-£1,000,000 in total.

Flopsy- we won there 4-1 the season we got promoted and we definitely won in the 70's 1-0 with a goal,I think, from Fazackerley so we have beaten them there in the last 40 years. Maybe the first time for 40 years since our last win in the top Division- we beat them in 1964 5-0 just before Pickering went to Everton.

Absolutely devastating.The other problem it creates is that some funds will have to be re-directed from other parts of the world that also have devastating problems.

Please don't be greedy-we've already won two.

I think that if Souness is not higher, he will be sacked.
