Why does Fergie keep sending us players? Andy Rammell, Deiniol Graham, John Curtis, Nads, Eckers...

...and now another? Does Sir Alex like us so much because his brother Martin used to play for us? Or does he see us as a decent feeder club not too far from Old Trafford but with his young starlets away from the attention of the NW media and Cheshire set potential WAGs?!

Bit of both me thinks!

soft spot for the club. Brother played here in the 50/60's I think

 

He didn't have a soft spot for us when Scott Jones powered in the 3rd! nt

 

Nope

but if you read his programme noted from OT that season he did say those very words himself & I reckon his actions prove it

 

Two Words

Paddy Cryne

 

That's right, Martin Ferguson

half back (midfielder to you lot!).</p>

Only had one season with us, 1965-66 but scored 17 goals in 40 games.</p>

IIRC there was a bit o' grumbling that he was allowed to leave. Some things never change!</p>

 

Sorry Mossy

predates PC by some years

 

Yes but PC's influence is certainly contributory

if not essential

 

I know he's got links with our Paddy...as previously mentionned.

But I think the soft spot comes from us 'looking after' his brother when he played here. I think that was the bit in the programme notes from Old Trafford. I'd dig out my copy but it's in me Mam's loft!

 

RE: Yes but PC's influence is certainly contributory

have we had more loanees since PC came in?

 

No

But we have only ever had Neil Whitworth(92), Curtis &amp; Nardiello on loan before Eckersley. Rammel &amp; Grahamwere either bought or a freebies. So I suppose 2 in two weeks (should this other geezer come) would be an acceleration. Interestingly Davey said he had recently spent a day with AF recently even though he was only really &quot;an acquaintance&quot;

 

Same marque at

the races?

 

At MUFC Training I think

why such a downer?

 

Not a downer

was a simple question.

Tho I admit I dont currently believe the club is at present at its most stable nor that its painting itself in glory. Only my opinion like.... hence not being on bbs as much as I used to be. have lost much of my passion in recent months
