Fucking sickening.

None of the fuckers can pass. Someone will blame Rafa though Fernandez can like, just not as easy to from the middle.

Can’t wait to see this back three with Lejeune and Schar in it. Struggling today.

Custom title checks out.

First (and only) ones I thought of too. And in their case the articles were changed around 6 months after the Glazers acquired full control.

Are there any other clubs that are known to have been funded by debt?

This could all just be the most elaborate wind-up yet, but the timing is interesting. It's not like companies change their Articles on a whim, and we know MA isn't a huge fan of wasting money. FWIW, done a quick scan of other notable clubs taken over in the past 10-15 years and there's no precedent for the Articles being changed prior to a takeover.

A) How would someone find that information? B) The fuck does that mean? He'll just be following this companies house page: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/00031014/filing-history Perhaps notable that the last time the Articles changed was in 1999.

Reckon this is a smokescreen, then?

If there's no greater appetite for protest if Ashley is still here in February and Rafa has again had zero backing (and the contract remains unsigned), then at least we all know it's done and can go about our lives until the day he does sell (or die). For me that's a very clear line in the sand for the entire support.

Myopic.

Hope this is true, I know dozens of people who'd been going their whole lives who've packed in because of him.

The sad thing about all of this is that even if a takeover happens and everything gets back on track, I'm still going to be left feeling utter contempt for a large portion of our fanbase. The damage done by Ashley is immense, really, it goes far beyond what it ever should.

Class, good results elsewhere too.

It's all PR, unfortunately, and the PR around the walk-in was not good for the most part. I applaud absolutely everyone who did it, but the protest itself was mismanaged and poorly communicated from day one. That's not the fans' fault. The PR around going ahead with a boycott when the likes of True Faith and all major local journalists who generally support TMG's cause are saying DON'T would be the final nail in TMG's coffin.

The walk-in was an embarrassment, and this will be worse now. Just because someone came up with a protest plan doesn’t mean it should be stuck to rigidly. Circumstances change.

Think that’s fair to be honest, and is a clear get out of jail free card for TMG. The timing of the boycott is horrendous, it’s win-win for them to sit back and call this off. Either he sells and it’s no longer needed, or he doesn’t (and spends nowt in January) which will mean support for it is far, far greater.

Thick as fuck.

Prepare thy anus.

Few more minutes lads and lasses, well played. Great stuff. Legends those who are doing it.

Imagine being as thick as wyn and ujpest, man

Lovely bump.
