Apparently Jose has turned down offers in China. Guess he's not ready to give up on his career just yet.

after all this and all we know you blame bzg? I said IF. And yes, IF a price has been agreed and no bid has come about in 6 weeks who would you blame? If you agreed to sell your house but no offer came about after a week or so how would you feel? 6 weeks, would you still think its on? Agreeing a price and a bit is pretty much the same thing man. The waters are so muddy no one knows where we are it. Noises from bzg just 4 days ago was they were ‘waiting on the PL’ There needs to be a statement from both sides and soon It's not like, you can agree a price and not follow up with an offer... I mention houses because that happened to us, we agreed to a price to sell our house but an offer never came in. We chased and chased and in the end the buyer wasn't serious. So next time we didn't grt out hopes up too soon, even when an offer came in we knew there was a long way to go. IF that's what is happening and why ryder is so certain of no bid then fuck me this is miles away and at this pace it won't be done before Xmas... If at all.

Sorry but agreeing a price and making a bid are two different things. If that's where where we are what are bzg playing at.

Sunderland are years away of signing that kind of quality.

Too important he's played about 7 games and 0 goals and barely an assist? He was hardly pulling up trees in league 1 last year was he? You've already admitted you've barely watched the lad play. He scored against Burnley as well as against Blackburn in the FA cup. He was quite often our best player during the run of games he started. He won the penalty against Man City. By all accounts he was brilliant for Blackpool. A quick online search would have given you this information. Fair one. I just hardly ever see anything of us these days. Thanks mike And yet you still feel qualified to opine I wonder which recently former poster they be?

Coming up 2 weeks since they announced Rafa was leaving. Fucking hopeless.

If he got that for SL, plus the AC money, would £85m for 2 academy players in England be a record? Don't spend a penny and get that, no wonder he doesn't see investing a thing.

£50m? https://mobile.twitter.com/UtdRobert/status/1147213536780832769 Glad we’re not being a soft touch....if true.

Mate, just because a man who's basically won everything wants to take a 2-3 year hiatus in the far east to make a fuck load of money doesn't mean they are ready to pack it in. FFS, it's a job for a short period of time. Sounds more like you are trying to justify Rafa than mourinho, IMO.

State of it man what a club Has someone stolen his eyes? Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see Nice EH reference.

We tried

Nolan has the face of a man who would literally say anything for his next drink. Jesus

Manure have agreed terms with Bruno Fernandes, surely this is good news for us.

Obviously I hope I'm wrong, but literally nothing happens in Arab countries on Fridays. It's their holy day, and they take that incredibly seriously. Getting anyone to work on a Friday is like trying to get people in the UK to work on Christmas day. They are also in a 3-day period of morning after the Crown Prince of Sharjah died. Might have an effect too. Ffs :'(

More arrogance than anything else. Rafa rejected jobs like Celtic, Marseille, no jobs better in England currently going and China, nee way Rafa would go there. Yeah I can see the arrogance bit. Just thought if his shady plans really did hinge on Rafa staying then he’d have had to give in to Rafa’s demands. He probably believes deep down his offer was amazing and Rafa was just playing games just like he does. I think tonight we will be drinking either way. Celebration or commiserations, today we will get some big info. Yeah probably. He’s a massive gambler after all. Can’t see this particular gamble coming off though in terms of us staying in the premier league. Even Rafa would probably not be able to keep this lot up without major new signings. (Signings, remember them? ) Charnley would have been feeding back it was all in hand, Ashley believing him. Sure someone said there was a bit of friction between the two over the Rafa exit, would tie up with my thoughts. No back room staff, 30 odd days left in the window, players wanting out, 2 top goal scorers gone, fans not renewing and a proposed takeover over shadowing proceedings...it will take Obama levels of intelligence, leadership and charm to get this club turned round without new owners. We’ll end up with another Trump.

What’s he done like? Not kept up to date with this. He took control and made it all about him?

Could be a chance Ashley has been planning to fuck us and them over but Rafa threw a huge spanner in the works and has left him in an untenable situation. Now Ashley is going back to the buyers in attempt to get the deal over the line. Ticket sales, strip sales, general opininon and morale will all be rock bottom and he knows hes under huge pressure now to rescue this season and any more bad moves will see him wipe £100m+ off the club and this time very little to suggest the fans will help bring it back round. It’s not worth the gamble, it makes too much sense to get rid now he’s painted himself in to a corner.

Just Manquillo to go and the Spanish epidemic is over.

Pretty bold statement from ryder. Unfortunately the only reason the chronic keeps him around is his club contacts.

Club seem happy to announce it. Can't announce fuck all else like.

£100m wouldn't even cover the players we've lost since last season.

I can't stop myself thinking this either. Rafa had clearly been in negotiations with the Chinese club for a while. That can't have happened overnight. Does appear that our lot have been doing nowt to prepare for him leaving. Unless of course, they can't find anyone that wants it. They’ll be loads of bottom feeders desperate for it. No one of any quality will come now after the way Rafa was treated. Still though, you’d expect one of them cunts in by now. Holding off only damages the coming season, the only real reason to do so is the club is almost sold.
