I understand what you're saying, but you can't really go from the man who had free roam and basically become an overnight celebrity to some idiot who he hired slating him and saying "he can sack him if he wished" The whole scenario was a shit show if we're being honest.

That dog food story rings a bell, pretty sure I know her brother too. Is his first name Shields ?

It'll most likely begin to pick up next week as we move closer to the end of the month.

I hear your points but I think it's important to recognise that at any other club the sporting director is the authority on the football side with the power to dismiss the manager. Managers do not get get an input in who is hired for the sporting director role at any other club either mind. Obviously we've gone down the road of giving Eddie the keys which is understandable and some will say deserved but doing so has created dysfunction as well.

Have to admit, I expected movement sooner too, plenty of time to prepare.

Hiring Mitchell aka "jobs for the boys" without barely even telling Howe about it? Letting Mitchell have a free roam and him even insinuating he can "sack Howe if he wished" Posting cringy photos on twitter and pretending to be "one of the fans" Running the club into a firesale of young talented players just so we don't get a points deduction? I'm sure I'm forgetting some other stuff too

Wouldn't surprise me if Saudi Arabia had an agreement with FIFA to help with the looming CWC if needed when they were given the WC.

Every. Single. Game. Is. Fucking. Difficult. We really need seriously strengthen going into this season.

Really surprised we haven't seen some early movement tbh. We've had 18 months to plan, monitor, negotiate and prepare bids. I'm sure there's stuff happening behind the scenes but this really is dull.

Why was Eales a shit hire?

Burnley sign ✍️ goal keeper 🧤 making way 4️⃣ Trafford 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 to make move 🛩🛥🚄🚗🚀 to Newcastle ⚫️⚪️ potentially ❓️🤔 👀

Beauty is in eye of the beholder and all that. But I'll argue it's not perfect for football either, it's lopsided, outdated and was criminally left to rot for 14 years of its recent history The location is perfect. The heritage of the site stirs up emotion. But the stadium itself is a Frankenstein's monster And if I want to see T-Swizzle, I'll invite her round to mine for a sleepover

Don’t think he’s a direct replacement for Trafford like. 21yo, coming from Bundesliga 2, wouldn’t seem a great idea to be starting for a newly promoted team.

Interesting

Crystal Palace said we were willing to pay £60m for MG. Not sure we were anywhere near that in reality. It’s been said numerous times before EH went as far as going on record that the numbers being mentioned weren’t close. So if we bid £40m+£5m for MG what is your thoughts on VH’s valuation?

But it's still absolutely perfect for football. If you want to see T-Swizzle then get yasel to London.

I agree with this. I think the Saudi league is long term more important for them but thr World Cup is massive and gigantic worldwide statement. I made the point that NUFC are not their main footballing priority and some others have disagreed. Bankrolling the CWC and some of our ‘rivals’ and spending big on castaways from our rivals - serves bigger priorities. Where we stand in their footballing priorities will dictate how much non-direct money and effort they will invest in us. Multi club, fucking around with assets, shmoozing UEFA etc. is a lot of effort.

Fender's SJP gigs are enjoyable because of the sense of occasion, pride in the local lad and the city centre location As a modern venue for large scale gigs, SJP isn't up to much. The lack of toilets for women is a disgrace, for starters If Taylor Swift played then the place would just be a massive lake of piss because 50,000 lasses trying to share approximately 10 toilet cubicles just doesn't work

Kuhn Army.

Cat A for me, marra

Good spot. International break after too so presume there won’t be a Monday game that weekend.
