How long before Bishop releases a time wasters statement?

Nah f*** that, roll the dice with this fake yank imo. If he's no money it'll go tits faster than under Ashley, if he's not totally useless we'll be in a better place. if PIF had never been a thing we would have given him a go I reckon Completely. Yeah it would have been great to be rich but 5 months ago we'd have taken just getting rid of Ashley and I still will. Was never about getting the Saudi's for me, was about getting rid of Ashley. Once you're off life support who knows what happens next? We’ll get sold to someone who won’t threaten their beloved 6. I’m done. Nobody can afford what he wants other than those who would threaten the top 6. Maybe Amanda realises we’ll be a championship team soon so she can try again.

Ashley will continue as owner but drift further and further away. We’re fucked, little investment, zero hope.

Done now btw. Fuck NUFC

No cans?

Unless exclusivity has been and gone. That's an issue. Surely exclusivity is irrelevant now? The deal will be done, contracts signed, subject to PL approval. That’s it. Surely in the contract there will be get-out clauses based on date?

I'm more pessimistic now than I was before, if its with Ashley then something will go wrong. Its not with Ashley, he's long passed deciding on owt, he's just waiting for his money. Except he's heard he'll get £50m more if he manages to cancel this and go with Mauriss... £10m more, surely? Would Ashley really screw over some of the most powerful people on the planet at this stage for an extra £10m, I doubt it. Which is why I don't think that's the case.

It is his twitter though.

Not sure they'll be spending a massive amount this season.

My cans (keg) are back in the fridge. I'm ready for this now.

Most positive spin: Tests have passed, PL were going to announce. MA says not until the money has transferred.

Just usual Ashley defending stuff as to why he shouldn't spend and noocarstle should be happy just to be in the league My post worked better before Polic deleted all of his.

Ahh, that's why he plays for the Netherlands then.

Partly. He's decent enough though.

Covid hasn't impacted the rich clubs then. Bournemouth's debt halved in one transfer.

That part of it doesn't add up for me. He's got his info from a senior exec at league level - why would they be talking to Stevie Bacon? What would Bruce actually be furious about, other than losing his job? Isnt the contact in the LMA? Ahh makes much more sense then. Again though, why would he be livid? He's stealing a wage as it is.

Played right wing when he was on loan at Scunny. Scored a few too.

What would Bruce actually be furious about, other than losing his job? MA's last task is to sack Bruce and he hasn't got round to it? Well they were supposed to be on a call last night, so that adds up.

Absolutely - he's got the opportunity to grow a little more before making the big career-defining move. Moves in the summer and he spends next 3 years on the bench of City/Liverpool/Man Utd, is forgotten then ends up at West Ham or Everton Not a chance, he's far too good. He'd start for Man United and rotate at Liverpool.

What was Merson on about again?

So one of my favourite players is linked to the two clubs I hate in world football, and we're still stuck with Ashley and Bruce. Wonder why I hate football these days?

Nice team to watch too. Enjoyed watching a football match for the first time in months last night.
