SAK

Terrible from Longstaff

Essex crowd giving the Ole’s.

Absolute shit.

Wouldn’t the solution be to build a training facility with stadium ( to be used by the reserves and women’s team in the long term) and use that temporarily whilst SJP was rebuilt?

Hope he plays well and comes through injury free.

Think there will be a cap set at the same level that all clubs can spend in theory but there will be income/expenditure rules in relation to this figure with any shortfall being allowed to be made up by owners as long as it is not via loans against the club.

NUFC aren’t a PIF priority let alone a stadium. So far grand statements of wanting to be the best are just that, empty words. Seems like the chairman hasn’t made as many appearances as last season. Think they got into this without much thought about the rules others would impose on them and are a bit bored with their not so shiny toy as they can’t push on as they would like. Sorry for the doom & gloom but I don’t feel our owners have the same fight as the City owners and this passive approach will encourage others to tighten rules further.

Remonstrating with ref on the field as we speak (looked friendly to be fair).

City hang on.

Got ball first and McAlister jumped into him.

So why no card for simulation for Salah?

Salah’s such a diving little shit.

8 mins extra

Doku hits post and Salah counters and shoots straight at keeper.

Correct but he’s the established clubs man. Seem to recall certain clubs where given privileged access to interview him (or was it the other guy) before appointment. If he left the “other clubs” could make moves to get in a more supportive replacement.

Would argue the support made us a big club as well as reputation (yes, not measurable) but even when we were shit we were one of the most televised teams.

What’s with her saying we weren’t a big club? Hopefully she doesn’t believe that.

Feel bad for him when Isak and Murphy get a rest but he has to play to the end. He’s had a longer season than anyone with the U21 euros, don’t want him breaking down as he’s crucial to our play.

It’s strange dribble as he looks like he’s going to fall forwards as he goes past people.

The pirouette was pretty tasty as well.

Like that he has the body strength to fend off challenges when surging forwards, can use both feet to cut inwards and away from trouble, and doesn’t seem to panic. Hopefully we get to see more of him.

Wasn’t the rumour that Ashley fucked them off?

Maybe chancer was a bit strong but to describe her as an opportunist may be more fair.

If you have to borrow money from the club for your unrelated legal battles and we’re talking 100s of thousands not millions I would question how successful you are.

As nice as she seems she comes across as a chancer. Sorry folks I don’t buy into the idolisation some have for her and Mehdad. Yes, they ultimately saved us from Ashley but it wasn’t charity. They picked up a cheap asset which PIF and the Reubens are funding and which could make them very rich when they sell their slice. It looks like she has no real wealth and her main income was from brokering deals between mid east sheikhs and European businesses. She ends up in a lot of litigation e.g Barclays, Ashley, and now this guy which doesn’t reflect well on her and isn’t good for the clubs image particularly when the club loans her money for her legal battles. Ashley started proceedings for non payment of his loan as has this guy. Not sure if taking personal loans from acquaintances in particular Ashley shows sound judgement as well as not paying them back (if proven).
