It look like Torres is going to be on the block for Atletico, so maybe there is hope that Hicks and Little George can make something happen.<BR/><BR/>I wasn't sure how to respond to Gillette's comment that the team wouldn't "spend money like a drunken sailor." God help us if he thinks that's what it means to spend money on high quality players. Also, if that line were true, what would that make Chelski? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-91602741641293065102007-06-11T21:59:00.000-04:002007-06-11T21:59:00.000-04:00Well, that's less than reassuring.It's one thing t...Well, that's less than reassuring.<BR/><BR/>It's one thing to be a douche. Taking over the club, spouting false promises while proclaiming to be custodians of the club, and stringing the fans along solely for what appears to be new stadium revenue (which opens a whole different can of worms) would be a few circles of hell beyond "douche."<BR/><BR/>But I'm pretty sure we're nowhere near that point.

I can tell you that he is a major class douche. This doesn't surprise me at all that he'd pull this shit on us. God help him if the story comes out into the open and he makes some classless remark. Can't believe I ever believed his ass in the first place...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
