I don't think we are contenders immediately even if the take over is completed. Amanda could be a better owner than the fat cunt but to expect she did an Abramovich to us is unrealistic. However a huge step forward is reasonably expected.

Funnily enough there's probably more truth in that than you actually meant. When Hatem manages himself he makes it impossible not to be picked. Generally though he has little discipline and it doesn't last long. That's what I meant.

Purl didn't manage Hatem. Hatem managed himself and get picked, that's it. No one in the world can manage Hatem.

I held the opposite opinion, I think Dyer would not survive in nowadays EPL because his weakness would be easily found out.

in a way he already fuck offed.

I don't care, I just want 3 points, confirmed our place next season ASAP.

As much as you love his talents, I don't wanna take any risk that may affects Rafa mood.

Right I give up. Rafa has done a poor job because he can only nick a win from a shit manager where both teams are kinda equal then.

They really are. They have the following players that can start for us: Townsend, Zaha, Van Aanholt, Sakho. McArthur and Schlupp are more than serviceable, and Cabaye is still a much better player than Hayden. Loftus Cheek is top quality prospect, and they still got an ace striker Benteke in injury list. We are better as a team due to Rafa. Individual wise they are far better. Let's say both team swapped the manager, and tell me what the results would be?

Yea that's why I said people will start to overrate our players base on match display and league standings. We are basically last years championship team plus a Merino, with our top scorer close to finish and contributed absolutely nothing on the pitch. We even could not add fringe players like Kenedy into our squad. If you think our players are better than you definitely do not understand Rafa is performing unprecedented magic that no manager has done before.

I don't think we can criticise Rafa for being over conservative and dull when we consider the difference in quality between two teams. Crystal Palace players are much better than us. It's simply down to Rafa that makes them look like shit.

Due diligence could be done for months. But for our case it should be easier. Should complete within 2 weeks.

Signing NDA simply means due diligence has started and parties involved are not allowed to disclose any internal / confidential info. Which means the interest is genuine.

The fact that she has signed the NDA is already fucking massive to us.

fuck, I can't work.

I never thought there is a manager that can challenge KK and Sir Bobby status among Geordies. And now Rafa is on course to be the one and the only one if the dream comes true.

That's why I always stress that we need Mitrovic even if we got the best striker in Championship

I just don't think this can explain why left at mid season.

if the Arab story is true the fat cunt won't need to put up the advertisements. It won't happen.

This, I am optimistic than before because if the fat cunt didn't want to offload us ASAP he won't put out advertisements like that. This will only drive down the offer price which means less money he can received. However I do wonder whether HMRC issue played a part in it.

I was wondering why we spent money on him. He is too raw, he doesn't have lightning speed, he isn't a polished dribbler, he is just young and English. But today I finally know why. If he is able to hit that shot consistently by his weaker foot he is unstoppable in the future. Very long long way to go but at least finally I see something.

Time to wank.

I don't know. In business world an assets value is closely related to the net profit generated each year. A very basic calculation would be net profit per year / expected return rate. But football club seems not running for net profits, isn't it?

Mitrovic is Serbias hero in this qualifier.

So Carr real assignment was not to find bargaining deals but potential tax fraud partners?
