Take him.
I took my 5 year old grandson to the Stoke game, his first one. All he keeps going on about is the hand dryer in the toilets so I wouldn't  worry to much about traumatizing the lad as he probably won't understand.
I've kept his ticket and I'll give it to him one day perhaps on his 18th or something sentimental like that.

That's what I'm clinging onto.
Much has been said about what we owe to creditors but what about debtors ?
Are we still owed big money for the stadium. Are we still owed money for player sales eg Bogle & Lowe from last season ? Do we still get the Sky TV money ? etc,etc
I assume the administrators chase the debtors as well as work for the creditors ?

So if Mel, as a final gesture, paid off the HMRC before he put us into administration, we would be infinitely more sellable and he would have a much clearer conscience 
If he has put £200m into us over 7 years, that's £28m per year so it would just be another years expenditure to him ?
& even a cautious stock market investor could have made 5% pa on their funds - 5% of £500m = £25m per year

For what it's worth, there was a helicopter at Morley Hayes today. (genuinely)
Could it be the administrators, could it be Dell, could it be Superman

£3m a month does seem rather high if we won't be repaying creditors at this stage.
For example, any stadium & pitch maintenance costs should be paid by the stadium owner shouldn't they, not the football club - we don't own it
Maybe the Athletic are including any stadium rental fees which we don't know the cost of. Will Mel Morris still be charging us for that ?

Rooney has always struck me as someone, who despite being a millionaire many times over and spends a vast majority of time surrounded by other millionaires, has never forgotten where he came from.
I don't want to go to the cliche of "from the streets", but he didn't have a huge amount of privileges as a young boy and neither his family. I'm not speaking for him and trying to avoid tired clichés, but it is hard to look beyond the boy from Liverpool.
Maybe, just maybe he is sticking around and giving his all as he can see a working class city and its fans club flaking apart at the seems and wants to try his best to help us.
Not exactly a Disney fairytale, but it would be simpler to walk away and gob off to sky sports about how tough he has had it.

I know, I bet away from the media he has mates, ex players even family saying "why don't you leave that basket case of a club"
He's used to being put on a pedestal and talked about positively so for him to 'dig in' in these circumstances and just get on with it gets my full respect
