Marino Posted 31 March, 2015 Posted 31 March, 2015 Further to St Armstrong's thread, I enjoyed reading this on the tube this morning. Nothing we didn't know before but Saints don't often make the City pages... http://www.cityam.com/.../saints-go-marching-profitability

SuperSAINT Posted 31 March, 2015 Posted 31 March, 2015 http://www.cityam.com/212830/saints-go-marching-profitability Cheers, Angel! - Was wondering why the 1st link wasn't working.
Marino Posted 31 March, 2015 Author Posted 31 March, 2015 Yes, thanks Angelman - thought I had the link sorted, never was much good at that sort of thing
the saint in winchester Posted 31 March, 2015 Posted 31 March, 2015 "No marquee signings this summer" Bale?
FloridaMarlin Posted 31 March, 2015 Posted 31 March, 2015 I would imagine the wait for marquee signings will be in tents. Dods he mean 'marque' signings? In any case, that is a word that is widely used erroneously. The definition of marque is a make of car as distinct to a specific model, or a letter of marque is a licence to fit out an armed vessel and use it in the capture of enemy merchant shipping and to commit acts which would otherwise have constituted piracy.

The use of marquée as an adjective refers I think to the sort of sign panel above theatres and the like publicising coming events in the hope of drawing a big crowd. You know Road to Nowhere starring Agnes Brown and Bert Smith. This lighted emplacement is known as a marquée, comes from the French "marquise" which is a sort of awning. The French word for a big tent is Chapiteau in fact. Edited 31 March, 2015 by Window Cleaner

the saint in winchester Posted 31 March, 2015 Posted 31 March, 2015 Maybe he meant no more marquis signings. Have we ever signed a marquis? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marquis_de_Sade
CityRanger Posted 31 March, 2015 Posted 31 March, 2015 Interesting stuff: " Expenditure on the training ground has risen to £38m, which is one reason why Liebherr has recently increased her loan to the club by £20m to £70m". I thought the debt to KL was £50m?. And from David Bence :" “We want to leave this community asset in a better position than when we found it.” is he talking sooner or later?

He doesn't mean "marque" signings.
