    Transfer rumours

    Premier League experience is essential can’t just go around signing a load of unproven Europeans, same problem Ashley caused many times
  2. I think that’s (waiting for project restart) unacceptable to Mike Ashley to be honest it’s costing him £200k a week plus not being able to have the cash in hand right now when he might want to exploit low prices. Equally giving more time for opponents of the deal to submit evidence. He will kick off if the PL aren’t working on it.
  3. Did she have an affair with Ken Barlow on a narrow boat?
  4. Right for the first time ever I’m putting someone on the ignore list, possibly one of the worst posters this forum has ever had. Worse than NE5!
  5. Ah man I miss football so much Was that Sels in goal? Forgot how shit he was
  6. Basically we are trapped in the middle of a Qatari/Saudi Cold War. Get past the PL hurdle and our owners are going to be gunning for PSG
  7. Thread stages. Which is it now? 1. It’s definitely on / Cans 2. Saudi’s are evil / not our concern 3. If it isn’t confirmed by XXX then I’m out 4. What’s HTT done now? 5. New / occasional member weighing in too heavy 6. Is there a clique? 7. Anti-NUFC conspiracy theories 8. Twitter bollocks 9. Extreme views on journalists dependent on whether they agree with your viewpoint. 10. It’s definitely off
  8. Every day delay costs Ashley about £25k in lost interest. He is not going to be able to stay quiet much longer

    Transfer rumours

    Imagine being in the mix for players like that Just to clarify though, I meant in terms of a club leader as much as having ability. Doesn’t matter where they play
  10. I also regularly read the Sunderland and Middlesbrough boards and despite them performing even worse than us over the past Decade they certainly haven't had the huge drop off in posters this one has. There's certainly more to it than team performance. Anyone thinking otherwise is kidding themselves. You got pelters because you were a prick. One minute slagging the fans attending, the next you were going to the match, then back to slagging the fans before 'oh, whoops, got a season ticket'. So little self-awareness it's unreal. You get pelters for that yet 4 years ago someone told me they wanted Adam Johnson to rape my then 3 year old son which most of the usual suspects found hilarious. Such a bizarre place really. What a load of bollocks. Yep, I’d have every confidence that anyone who said anything like that would not be on this forum much longer thereafter.
  11. There is no real clique. Some people get on better than others, that’s fine. I’d say that there is something on here which is more herd-like in that certain topics and opinions are driven by a small number of well coordinated sheepdog, and not many sheep will stray from the parameters the sheepdog has set. I don’t think it’s unique to this place it is just common societal behaviour. Still this place has a number of cats who preen on the edges and disrupt the common consensus. I’m a cat. But most importantly the cats haven’t been chased off by the dogs.

    Personally my number one target would be this decade’s Vincent Kompany. No idea who that is but that is what I’d like most of all

    Transfer rumours

    Even a short term option like Ighalo is a pipe dream
  14. That’s the fallacy however. A true ITK doesn’t disclose their sources

    Transfer rumours

    What was the general view of Lampard and Terry in about 2003?
  16. The process for getting a new training ground is something like this: 1) Owners agree provisional scope and budget. 2) Footballing technical expert sets out requirements for new facility. 3) Huge multi-disciplinary group come up with plans in accordance to requirements and budgets 4) plans signed off by budget holder (with revisions as required) 5) scheme goes through planning process (with revisions as required) 6) construction begins It is impossible to be beyond point 1 at this stage, realistically it will take years
  17. You realise that you will extremely offend him?
  18. I don’t think anyone is turning their noses at trophies but the fact of the matter is that Chelsea invested in short term trophies whilst Citeh invested in long term transformation. Chelsea will go the way of Blackburn but Man Coty are here to stay.
