How long do we have to wait until we start being a normal club again. Can this cunt not fuck off. If he waits until next summer, that will be nearly 2 years of the club just muddling through with no plan. Total disaster.

Two loan signings from Spurs is hardly a 'foray into the transfer market'.

Nah, we didn't. We were dreadful - we literally had no structure what-so-ever. Our best two Strikers were Ryan and Steven Taylor, while Nolan was fairly none-existant and Shola and Caroll did his work for him dropping into midfield. Duff, Smith, 3 out of our back four and Krul were the ones to come out of it with a bit of credibility. On a scale of Incredibly s*** to incredibly good, we were neither. I thought we played pretty well considering we were playing promotion contenders, away from home, with a depleted squad from one that was already thin and with no manager and obviously all the other s*** thats going on. In fact, even without all that I still think we played well. Bossed it. Tbf, I have probably just woke up to the s*** we played last season, Saturday was just like last season but our club is in a far worse state. So given the circumstances I can see where y'all coming from. However, on the other side of the coin, people think that because we're in a worse division and playing promotion favourites that the same s*** from last season is more acceptable, when it quite simply isn't... I thought we were good on Saturday. Certainly bossed the game but lack quality in certain areas. I actually thought Nolan was fairly decent, and im not a fan of him. We have to play with what we have at the moment really and the players who didnt have good games, its because they're shit rather than lack of effort. (Raylor, Colo and Ameobi) Thats not going to change until we bring in new faces. The only strange decision for me was to play Duff on the right and Jonas on the left.

Hardly a kung fu kick. Haha. And that racially abusing thing was bollocks. He's got a short fuse and he can be stupid sometimes, but that's about it. Since he's been here anyway. Had he did the tackle Guthrie did against Hull imagine the reaction.

I would have Geremi at right back as long as he was kept well away from set pieces.

I'm pleased we have someone like him at the club. Not the greatest of players but he fuckin cares about the club.

On the other hand, Kadar seems good and at least we have a central midfielder in Barton who works hard and creates things. Could do with a goalscorer though.

I would be wary of anyone who can't afford to pay for the whole thing now. If someone can only afford the 20mil now, then next year they're surely going to struggle to pay the rest. Even if we were promoted, an 80mil payment would drain the club of cash and would prevent us adding anything decent to the squad. Unless whoevers buying is thinking short term and wants to sell when Premiership status is returned. Then they could pay back Ashley and make a little profit for themselves. Massive gamble though.

Not a good story in the Journal. At least we know now there has been at least one realistic offer on the table, and unfortunatly like in the winter Ashley is stupidly trying to play hardball and ask for more than the value. Pure stupidity as the value will only go down from now on.

What does that say? Can't follow links on phone.

I think they're saying he's now so desperate to flog it that: 1. He's written off his losses. 2. He's willing to take £70-90m all in. 3. He's willing to sell it for just £20m up front, with the rest paid at a later date. What a bipolar c***. Cheers. So £20mil upfront is all people are willing to pay?

I dont understand that Times article im afraid.

No chance. There could possibly be an agreement in principle but that's about it. Surely you don't do a deal on this scale in a day. I would assume talks have been going on for weeks. I doubt it will happen tomorrow, but you never know. If this is all true, it really does seem to be in the final stages. It would be great if we could get something done and a manager appointed before the home double header.

Im going to bed. I hope to fuck when I wake up this hasnt been denyed.

Have you even read the story? We don't know if there is a consortium involved yet, or the extent to which they are providing the backing. If we are to believe the story, then we know there is a consortium involved: "Moat's offer, which is understood to include significant financial backing from American parties, is due to be named as the preferred bid by merchant bank Seymour Pierce in the next 48 hours"

Have you even read the story?

Every time it gets good that Clem cunt changes the subject and takes it off on a ridiculous route.

Well fuckin said!

Kinnear being ripped appart now.

Class!

Been looking forward to this. No doubt I will be more pissed off at the end than the start though.

I'm in Edinburgh so on my phone, but is it true the club our refusing to comment "out of respect for Sir Bobby"? If it is, its the lowest thing these bastards have done, and that's saying something. Nothing short of an absolute disgrace!

Jonas doesn't look interested to me in the games I've been to (Darlo, Leeds and Dundee United). There was flashes against Darlo, but that's about it. If anyones busting a gut to get moving down the left its Enrique who I think will be quality if we don't get rid before the end of the month.

Sure he said he had to prove to buyers that players could be sold. Surely someone like Shepherd would know players could be sold anyway.

Why would he say where a potential buyer was from?
