ASM staying a dealbreaker for PIF . As good as he's been for us they'll still be aiming for better.

I'm sure there are more than a few here furiously grinding their 5 centimeter defeaters into a throw pillow with steve bruce's face embroidered on it at the thought.

this hypothetical has more twists and turns than a cheap garden hose. If woodman + reasonable cash is what's required to make willock stay I'm for it.

I mean honestly. It's not that hard. Figure it the fuck out guys.

Kinnear was at least remotely entertaining and relatable as a human, in a "daft uncle at family gatherings who says awkward shit" kind of way. Carver and Bruce you wouldn't even invite. Pardew would show up regardless.

Easy there, stasi.

No one in that thread is happy though. We're well beyond the point where we can pretend people aren't starting shit here just to kick other people's sand castles over. Of course, they could always just not click on the thread, but somehow their total lack of self control gets twisted into being the fault of this thread existing? What, was this thread "asking for it"? Was it "dressed too sexy"? That's the same kind of potato brain reasoning no one accepts as an excuse for anything else, but people want to defend their right to be dickheads. Fine.

I have literally never been more confident of good things happening, which is probably a sign a 4-mile wide meteor is about to slam into the earth. We'll see though.

Can I just get out in front of any more Conspiracy Theorist/QAnon comparisons with regards to our "delusional" beliefs? I think it's a disingenuous and ugly comparison. No positive believer here is asking for, nor would instigate through violence, political change or intimidation of negativists. There is no real world side-effect to being heads-in-sand about this stuff. There is no offsite where disinformation and hate is spread. QAnon and the like are actually dangerous because of what they say AND do. And at the end of the day most if not all of us admit the belief is at best tenuous. People roleplaying in this fantasy shouldn't feel threatening to anyone.

Do not be troubled my friends. I have heard the spirits speak. The time of ascension is nigh.

speaking as a positive lunatic "We could destroy you tomorrow but we're willing to bury this evidence if you just let the takeover go through" is kind of a weird flex and doesn't seem right.

In Ashley's ideal world he gets the club sold and compo and a personal apology card from Masters with a £20 tucked inside. His grubby money net is cast as far and wide as possible so I'm never of the opinion any one action signals the end of any other for him. Never either/or.

I have some words for my positive friends in the positivity thread

Wow, how'd he get pictures of the positive-thread haters brains?

No lie, I'm trying to form a tiny consortium here in Atlanta to buy some depressed properties near-ish to GSU and Georgia Tech to turn into dispensaries when (not if - it'll definitely happen) it gets legalized. Just perfect placement near the campuses.

Looking good boys. Pumped about this news. Vibes are high.

If you want to make a 1-for-1 comparison between that hypothetical and this thread, let's first acknowledge that this thread was created, ON PURPOSE, because the positive/hopeful/crazy stories and takes were becoming something of a hassle in the normal takeover thread. So if a similar situation exists where fantastical transfer/managerial suggestions are made in the normal threads, I'm sure the forum would welcome such a change. The Twitter Bollocks thread still exists though and I think that would be the first port of call before a new thread. IMO this thread has done a fantastic job with keeping its crazy well within the lines. It doesn't spill out to other threads anymore and the thread causes no grief except when provoked; and even then it somehow winds up being this thread which has to justify itself instead of looking the other way around. That's ass-backwards by my view.

The ones where someone wandered into a self-quarantined thread of crazies to deliberately rain on their parade and then acted butthurt when the crazies told them to stop being a wet blanket.

Except a lot of the time it's not even positive. It's blatant antagonism that tries to hide behind mealy-mouthed horseshit like "B-b-b-but a forum is for discussion, i get to post anywhere." when it's anything _but_ discussion.

(this is literally me as well, not a dig at the positivists)

wait catching up on this so sorry if I missed context but did he go from "11/10 HUGE/WINS THE WAR" to "if it's big" ?

Billionaire's son donates to the Tories! Literal "Oh no! ... Anyway" meme material that.
