Isaac Hayden? - had his family issues but that was understandable given the circumstances.

The letter that wasn't a publicity stunt, but they felt the need to publicly announce they sent it? Well yes - you don't engage a leading football law barrister to make legal arguments on your behalf in favour of something - and then when he tells you that releasing copies of letters would undermine his correspondence and their impact rendering the exercise pointless- just ignore him and release it all for a few likes on Twitter. Maybe not but do you agree it's done more damage than good to NUST No. The world doesn't revolve around the angry people on Twitter.

State of that defending

Didn't even defend really Can honestly say it is one of the worst goals I've ever seen us concede in terms of simple basic play - so easy. Positioning was so, so bad it just made it so easy - most central defenders would cut out that ball across - where the hell was Krafth? Sp deep, his positioning was so bad. Can't really blame him. Why is he playing at centre half?

Awful defending.

Awful defending.

You missed Macron at Downing Street two weeks ago?

They finally learned ! Lowlights more like.

Agreed mate and fully support the stance. Don’t mind any of the s**** being spouted here or on social media. It was the right thing to do. It’s far more use having a trust representing the fans that either the club or other organisations can trust to have a dialogue with.

I'm 100% in agreement. However, playing devils advocate, how long do PL CEO's actually last? Isn't Masters meant to be out some time fairly soon? He's been in post little over six months.

Richard Master's literally wrote to the legal counsel acting for Hetiz Cengiz complaining their correspondence had been leak into the media. If we never want to speak to them again, and not use this as an opportunity to build some sort of dialogue with the CEO of the Premier League beyond the takeover e.g. on other matters, then we could throw it all away for some likes on Twitter. But that would be very stupid.

Can I ask, are all members made aware of the contents or just the senior members? I don't blame for you trying to open a formal dialogue with the league, I'm just curious how those type of things work in what is a fans group. Just the executive board members not the plebs. Just be a courteous reply I would have thought similar to the Kashogi fiance received. He stated today that the matter was confidential so be absolutely gobsmacked if it was anything else. This your not missing out on anything I would suggest, just a bog standard holding reply saying their views will be taken on board. Joke aside though think they’re doing the right thing keeping it private, all opponents of the deal have leaked letters to press, shows a bit of respect and will give them credibility with PL for any future dealings. The latter part was one of the main points from our barrister in terms of credibility and influence.

Richard Masters coming up on talksportdrive at 17.30 to confirm once again its a confidential process. They are just playing clips from this mornings committee I think.

Dear NUST My advice to you all, is to make sure your fridge works. Best wishes Richard Masters The Premier League

We know - Chris is fixing it.

It’ll be a standard ‘we can’t say anything, confidential process etc etc’ No - both letters are private for good reason. It's not a PR exercise to make twitter happy. The tweet explains it was an acknowledgement. Then why tell everyone in the first place? Pushing for importance by the looks of things.

Absolutely disgusting that NUST is letting its members and other fans know it has a dialogue with the Premier League on behalf of its members. Absolutely disgusting decision to keep this dialogue open and look to build a better platform with the PL to stand up for fans. Disgusting that NUST wants to act professionally and build that dialogue further for the betterment of fans going forward in the long term rather than just as a PR exercise. Of course it would have been much better to just release the letter it sent as a PR exercise and make NUFC twitter happy, and not get a response from the CEO of the Premier League, and not build a relationship for future dialogue with the top man at the Premier League.

Christ the lad must be some age if he was playing in 92-93. Only been the Championship since 2004 tbh. Classic Gregg this. Greg[/member] I'm over it / immune.
