i swear time is actually fucking moving backwards right now GET ON WITH IT

I'd be really happy if they just came out and flatly said we're not going to be massively overspending on S-tier players but we'll definitely start looking at the B-tier and maybe some A-tier players instead of the D-F tiers we've been bargain hunting in.

flight distance wise NYC to San Francisco is ~ 900 miles shorter than to London, 3400 vs 2500, give or take. Still a very long haul. Don't know if there are larger gulfs, e.g. Miami to Seattle.

"Steve, sorry to interrupt you, I've just been handed a note. It reads 'wrap up the interview this plank; he's no longer with the club.' Thoughts on that?"

I get that they're obligated to make noise about it but the PL already told people what it cared about when it rammed through this deal in 48 hours after the BEIN/Piracy brouhaha cleared up; the only reason they were ever ostensibly against a new set of massively rich cunts joining their product was that it pissed off the massively rich cunts already there. Unless "ethics" and "morals" are the names of new cryptocurrencies they don't give a toss.

I may have missed posts to quote - there have been 100 new pages - but huge huge huge huge HUGE props to Mandy for sticking through to the end with this. She never gave up on getting this done and tonight's first cans are in her name.

I'm sure, like many, my levels of joy/disappointment in the (almost certain) new owners are directly tied to the manner in which they attempt to build the club and achieve success. If the statements so far about really investing from the ground up are true then that's an amazing win in my book. If they look to buy the league in 2 years with overpaid mercenaries it will be incredibly bittersweet.

You are forgiven, my son.

You're probably right but I like to imagine there's some spark of professional pride left over that can be wounded somewhere underneath those 87 layers of lard.

There's no way he's not sat there reading the news and muttering "that's me fucked then"

kinda get a warm and fuzzy thinking KSA would end a grudge match with Qatar over BEIN just to get lil' ol' us through the door.

the little babyrage moments about american owners are so cute, like the game wasn't corrupted by money long before they showed up. at best you can argue they might have sped up the process but literally everyone would eventually want to push into lucrative american/chinese markets with EU already saturated.

On the plus side there's no shortage of people in the wider fanbase also annoyed with him and he gets hard grief in every tweet's replies

the positive(ly AIDS, and no) optimism thread

I'd like to see them try

who rests their glasses there on their head. honestly. absolutely wretched.

*coos softly yet confidently*

Again I don't think he's in anywhere near the amount of peril he should be but I don't know what makes people think he's bulletproof. Our bar of acceptable stewardship is obviously higher than Ashley's but to suggest he'd be happy having to invest again to get us out of the championship is a little much.

For him to be in any danger, it's going to take Bruce carrying this winless streak into November, possibly December. Not that unrealistic of a scenario at the moment.

well played, agent murphy

It's honestly shocking these have two wins. being so shite you make nufc look half-competent is a feat.
