Who do they have at RB and CB again apart from Davies and Bouma?

Toonarmy, THANK YOU. My cable provider does not allow me to access ESPN 360, but my brother's does and he has kindly given me his sign-on details to get remote access to watch teh matches. I'd buy you a beer for that knowledge my friend.

Skirge man, hilarious. Haha!

Thats around 15.6 Million - dropped that supposed 64 million wage bill to around 48-50 million est. now.

Don't see how any bank would allow you to have a loan without terms saying all proceeds and income must come back to service the debt in forms of principal payments on top of the interest. By the way, the interest paid on this loan must be massive, no LIBOR-only backed loans these days im afriad. But who knows...

He'll get a longer contract. Had he been willing to wait until say August 30th he may very well of got a longer contract here oh and a Captains armband. I'm with you Skirge, this one boils my blood. He loves us so much, he stays until late and either gets on with it or leaves then. FFS he would have been our captain and our club leader. Way to abandon ship buddy.

It is what they do. They buy a pub chain for £4.6bn then sell it on for a profit. Sometimes they'll make losses, they take risks, but the wins have outweighed the losses in their careers it would seem. NUFC are at a low ebb at the moment, and they may feel confident they can get us back up then sell us on. Vincent Tchenguiz is apparently very publicity hungry, so this might be an appealing risk for him. Dare I say that looks like a mouth-watering prospect, real business folk with real business savvy. Not some cheap-discount sportswear fake tycoon.

Moat with Dubai backers...............??

Oh don't do this to us, please don't break my heart again...

Optimistic last night after many many many beers, now this morning, with my hangover - my brain, hurting, and being as realistic as possible - this deal sounds too good ot be true - and its prob 100% untrue.

Bassong, you were the one guy on the squad I did not want to see go, rightly so, the club didn't appoint Shearer, you p*ssed off and are now officially p*ssin off. But of all teams, you had to go to the Spurs? Yuck.

The name went public, so isn't that already ruled out?

Thomo has been saying from day 1 that his ITK contact was invited to the funeral.

Sir Bob as chairman after his tenure with Shearer as manager, that would have been my dream ticket.

*conspiracy theory* Shearer, desperate to get through to the mongs that run the club, tells his BBC mates to do a talk-in at Shearer's for national media that discreetly shows that he would still take the job, and for maybe the mongs in charge to take notice. *end theory* This is what it now comes to - stupid theories in my mind about what is going on behind the scenes, b/c we all haven't a clue. Clubs being sold to Dubai Consort, Americans, Fat Fred, but there is no progress - also, manager could be appointed today, tomorrow or Hughton in charge or Kinnear in charge. Methinks I'm going crazy. Imagine trying to tell someone the story of the club in the last 2 years in 30 seconds, its like someone's signature about Hurley explaining Lost, bloody hell im f'ng Lost.

My word, they are just absolutely bashing Mike Ashley and co.

Hah, Carver and that throat clear!

Will someone explain to me why the BBC is taking so much interest in having a radio-talk-in special for us? Sympothy?

Sad, we found a talented young CB who fought his way into the first team, we are relegated, $$$ flashes his way, and we now sell him. Sigh, times have changed. Mind you, if we didn't sign him the pri*ck would be still sitting at Metz doing f*ck all.

Class idea, such a class idea.

RIP Sir Bobby. Gutted.

Laura? did he really write that?

Man, I loved ya Oba - all of those heart-dropping moments where you would put in goals out of no where, you were one of my fav toon players after Big Al left, have a good career! Glad you didnt go to any team in the EPL to be honest.
