The bit in bold is what I was getting at. "participation" was maybe a poor choice of words as i neither expect nor want him to be involved in day to day. But he or, far more likely, someone directly reporting to him is supposed to keep the club leadership staffed and running smoothly and, well

Aye I'm not cheering at all seeing "yassir al-rumayyan has entered the chat over Isak". Where has this participation been for months? Eales' departure was announced almost a year ago with the blood cancer diagnosis, we're only now catching whiff of replacements. Opinions on Mitchell have ranged from "only slightly worse than the Hindenburg" to "literal football AIDS." etc

has Hope always done emojis-for-bullet-points lists or is that a chatgpt assist

agreed. at the first sign of trouble we should immediately roll on our backs and submissively urinate to show we're not a threat and know our place

optimists catching up on the thread

we shouldn't play nice with our competition. no one gets points for being "nice guys". they're coming in cheap for what they're getting. i know it. you know it. if that's their best/final offer we should trebuchet Mitchell at them in response

being petty and vindictive. The concept of being a doormat doesn't appeal to me. If we're not getting the absolute top dollar imaginable, given the prices others go for, and anyone thinks agitating for a move for half price is going to work they need to be ... corrected.

220m or he rots in the reserves. take it or leave it

i thought i'd enjoy some transfer bants but now i'm headed into work early fuck you all

Well if he leaves for RM/Barca/etc it's a "prestige" move - meaning of course no insult to our own standing within the game, but let's be realistic - and the pay is just expected to be outlandish as a matter of principle, not the primary driver.

I can't inhabit the mental space needed to give Steve Bruce a 5-star yelp review like that.

Suds would have visited Richie Aprile in prison and wouldn't have gotten run over, i'll tell you that for free

if you're lurking out there hello suds and welcome.

mitchell is going to pip riviere as our worst ever signing. he showed up to the party already drunk, shit in the fridge, and skedaddled.

I will leave the quibbling, philosophizing and pontificating about the causes of our transfer slowness to those with more free time and confidence in their half baked theories. All i know is that when i look at our quality in depth i find it less appetizing than a loki meal. I just want action that improves us.

N-O doesn't even offer twitter-style engagement bait payouts yet, so i don't understand it. is the braindead trolling just for the love of the game?

i'm not averse to a bit of justified hand wringing but I'll need more than the single data point of missing one pre-season game before i break out the good pearls.

Would love that headline Wissa signs for NUFC, declares "I'm gonna have me some fun!"

I thought he full on went "it's what diego would have wanted", man i was sat here ready to headbutt a man i've never met on a podcast I've never listened to

The 100m price quoted is because we were trying to include Longstaff going the other way.

kicked over any sandcastles this morning?

nice thick neck on the lad, good jaw line. get him signed

snap their fucking hands off
