And the logo will be in blue anyway. Does it really matter the word Red is there? Is this more important than Cellino saying he has had enough? From: Michael Walsh To: leedslist@gn.apc.org Sent: Friday, May 13, 2016 12:02 PM Subject: Re: [LU] New Shirt Sponsor

In the70's LU often played in red. Against Chelsea (circa 72) it was entirely red. I remember Jackie Charlton 's weedy looking white knees. I never noticed them in Revies all white or, previously, in the blue and yellow Since most televisions were black and white it was the beginning of the end

Agree. With the Everton job up for grabs, there may be a bit of musical chairs afoot in the Prem (and also still possibly the Newcastle job coming up, depending on Benitez). Can understand him wanting to keep his options open for a few weeks on that basis. On Fri, May 13, 2016 at 4:26 PM,

Well, I was brought up in Leeds area in the 70's and it seemed ingrained in us to "dislike" anything connected to Man U, and the colour red. So (sad to some) I have never owned anything red, or had a Sharp TV, I changed phone provider when Vodascum sponsored them & now I won't buy Adidas. I

It's a lot harder to get the Strachan type signing these days though. The likes of Terry have earned more money than they will ever need, and so are less motivated to drop down through divisions. Add to that the inevitable highly lucrative offers from the US, China and Middle East. It's why Joey

Hmm, John Terry. I can see the argument, aside from he's slow, BUT he's a hideous individual. Not really comparable with Vinnie, although maybe they're more alike now! Someone at this damned club needs to have a vision like Mad Dog did when bringing Strachan and Vinnie in, and sell that to some
