Money Talks....
Well, so long Shaun Wright-Philips. Friday evening he apparently wanted to stay at the club that nurtured and believed in him when other clubs didn't. Within 24 hours he had acquired a Rio Ferdinand-esque "stomach bug" which meant he couldn't play in Saturday's friendly. On the way home from the ground he phones the Chairman and asks for permission to speak to Chelsea and, presumably, lets the media know at the same time, and loads the negotiation in Chelsea's favour.Immediately the press are on to it and we treated to tired copy all along the lines of 'debt-ridden Man City', 'financially crippled Man City' and 'cash strapped Man City' We have £60m managed debt (y'know like a mortgage) and, because of this we have no option but to sell according to the nation's sporting press. well if that's the case, where the fuck does that leave Man United? Nearly £500m debt and not making enough annual profit to service the interest payments on Malcolm's dodgy loans. They'd have to sell their team twice over.
And now we are being told that Shaun couldn't resist because Chelsea are such a big club! Are they bollocks. They're a fuckin' rich club no doubt about it but big? I don't think so. It'll be interesting to see what happens to Chelsea when Abromovich gets bored, imprisoned or 'taken out' by some shady Russian mafia type.
So, off goes SWP as expected and it looks like a certain Mr A Cole (Andrew not Ashley) will soon be arriving. Fowler and Cole. The best strike force in the Premiership. 10 years ago.
I need hard liquor, TLC and a copious amount of anti-depressants.

As the great man said, money doesn't talk, it swears. It may still get worse for you though. Rumour has it that City are going to pay five million pounds for Darius Vassell... a legend in his own mind, and unlike Fowler and Cole, a proven non-goal scorer of the highest quality. Go for it Pearcey! I'll drive the useless little bugger up there myself.
I feel for you there. Take heart in Sean's younger brother; from what I've seen of him, he'll probably be better than Sean.
You could always buy Michael Owen, but then I would have to laugh. Hard.
If SWP thinks moving to Chelsea will improve his chances of getting into the England squad he must be off his chump. With the number of players they've got, he'll be lucky to get a first team game more than once a month.
So much for loyalty, eh?
When 'they' catch up with Abramovich or he just gets bored, Chelsea will have the rug pulled from under them.
Then watch all the so called 'superstars' come squealing back home and have the doors slammed in their faces.
Greedy bastards the lot of 'em.
