Dokko

good keeping, mind. Positioning, feet and coming out.

ffs

please score

Can't wait till he gets another free kick and skies it over the bar, like he does 15 times a game.

Ran away to celebrate. hahaha. Amazing scenes.

Crying like a bitch

ehehehehehehe

ESPN are reporting full £20m paid up.

£50m going off Anderson sale.

£100ks going in and out of his account. We didn't once check his financials? With gambling such a high risk with players and the outcome equalling lengthy vans, this is the type of DD you need to do... And yes specific jobs check your accounts to make sure you aren't a risk of bribary.

Seems a solid business plan. 30.6.25 is going to be mint.

Hald the Italian squad knew about it. As a child I knew of Gillespies gambling habit as a family member worked in thr bigg market bookies he'd lose all his wages in. Ashworth got blindsided by the fee and thought he'd bagged a bargain and rushed it through without proper due dilligence. Maybe you should find someone at the club to try and patronise as it wasn't me who didn't understand the rules, left the club facing a double figure points deduction and within hours of it saved by a speculative punt from the season before. 👍

Not bought Tonali and Barnes. There was absolutely no need for Barnes, and Tonali was an all eggs in one basket vanity signing, which backfired spectacularly. If the club had done it's homework properly, they'd have known about his habit and gone nowhere near him. I'm still not certain if him, Bruno & Joelinton will work together, it get like Howe was given him to work with rather than asked for him. Like I said in the Ashworth thread, I'll put all the blame on him, and we move on, but let's not sugar coat it, the club have fucked up big time and have escaped by a hairs width and lucked out on minteh. And like I said in the Bruno thread, they are probably shocked he's still here (maybe the idea was sell Bruno at 115m and Tonali was the ready made replacement) Lessons learned, eh?

Timing is everything. He knew the hole we were in and told manure to wait it out. Now that's lapsed and we didn't budge with him, the only option is to pay up or wait another year. He's a right cunt.

Very poorly managed by the club. Selling promising young players, unsettling key performers, all to buy squad players and ones we hadn't done our homework on. I'm going to lay the blame at Ashworth, and why the club just weren't arsed he was leaving. I always said Tonali was his issue, and the rest may as well be flung his way as well. One thing is for sure, this cannot happen again.we either fuck off the rules and bend them beyond like Chelsea, or we stay well compliant and don't overstretch. We can't do what we did in 23, and sit in the middle hoping one of our best goes.

He'd play one game and be No1 for years to come, and I'm a huge fan of Pope, but this lad is another level. He should have more faith in himself if the rumour was true, but I doubt it, I think we didn't meet their valuation, and with Europe slipping out of our hands, we decided not to go further with it. Big regrets on that I'm sure.

2 different sports this evening.

Just thought that about Pickford.

I'll be furious if they fluke a goal and take this to ET

So where are these idiots defending Safegate now?

Least the ref is consistent

Shocking start.

Safegates last game in charge.

He's perfect for Manure. Match made in heaven.

As real as death & taxes.
