The bit about haggling over less than 200k for his assistants if true makes us look a bit small time. Are we gonna be another PSG/City or do we have tight fisted investors. Let’s be honest the reported 50m a season that their business plan had doesn’t get you much. Edit- I know it could all by incorrect reporting

I saw him making claims about various MPs on Twitter last night and thought just setting yourself up for a libel case. Let the Twitter fame get to his head and thought he was untouchable.

His commitment to Wales isn’t in question but would he be that bothered about us. The commentators also mentioned how he put in such effort in the last qualifying round in the first match and couldn’t sustain a similar level in the next which suggests inability to recover from games. Not someone you could rely all the time but good when fit. Wheel him out for the big games and rest him at other times.

Looks like Hoffman may resign this week due to pressure from other clubs re allowing the takeover.

I don’t know why I get angry when commentators apologise about bad language from the crowd.

Cringe ‘ he’s going to have more records than HMV’.

PIF don’t own Aramco, our new chairman is the chairman of both though but that doesn’t mean it’s a party related as PIF and Aramco are independent of each other. Or do I understand wrongly?

The FA cup game in the late 90s away to Stevenage sticks in my mind. The nation/media wanting a Hereford style giant killing, Dalglish wanting the game switched to SJP for safety reasons which Stevenage used to whip up sentiment against us I.e. big club bullying a small club, their star player Guliano Grazzioli, and us scraping a draw.

Seems to run into a opposition players and get crowded out. Doesn’t have the physicality to hold off opposition.

Praying we can scrape an equaliser from somewhere and hold on. We need the points.

Defence and midfield playing too deep, no pressing as a team until the very end of the half, why not from the very start? Playing three at the back instead of a back four. Poor selections in Lascelles, Clark, Kraft, Ritchie and Shelvey. Yes our position is due to Ashley and Bruce but Jones hasn’t covered himself in glory.

I just double checked, looks like he kicked on after we were linked with him around 2019.

We were linked with him a couple of years back, plays well but not a great goal scoring record.

I thought it was all a bit of fun trying to decipher his baking and photos and no one took it seriously, please tell me people didn’t take it seriously?

Don’t you know there are cryptic clues in the bread also in the photography?

Don’t think what he said was that bad? Clearly still likes NUFC despite how things panned out. Mentions liking the club/city and the crowd. Mentions he’s not sure why we would go for Emery who is a good coach but failed at Arsenal and the PL. Mentions big four are preferred destination for the top players which we know is the case. Asked if this will change he says he ‘doesn’t know’ but hopes it will.

I’m going to be positive and say 1-1, parking the bus most of the game and hitting them on the break. Low possession stats for us.

Don’t you mean a pastel de nata?

Jones needs to change the team. Dubravka Manquillo Schar Fernandez Lewis Willock Hayden Saint-Maximin Almiron Joelinton Wilson Rational: Almiron in his best position, Joelinton in his best position plus he can help Lewis on the left, ASM out wide where he’s most effective though not on the left but he’s good enough to play on the right, Lewis to counter Lamptey. Schar to improve retaining possession and building from the back. Willock retaining possession under the press in midfield and getting it to to the attacking quartet and breaking late into the box. Hayden sitting.

If we can’t beat Norwich and Burnley at home and get a draw at home to Brentford and away to Brighton then we’re stuffed.

Would be more embarrasing getting rid after all the legal fights and paying off Bein.

New owners need to act fast now and appoint a DOF and manager so they can: 1) planing and the prep work for the Jan transfer window 2) Improve the performances on field with the existing players, new tactics and enthusiasms plus the new manager bounce I think if we can scrap some points between now and January with a few signings we’ll kick on and be OK. Realistically we have two winnable games in my opinion between now and Jan. Likley to be on a losing run leading up to the window. Brighton away- Draw Brentford Home-Draw Arsenal- Away-loss Norwich-Home-Win Burnley- Home- Win Leicester-Away- Loss Liverpool- Away- Loss Man City- Home- Loss Man U- Away- Loss Everton- Away- Loss

Get him here in January.

Would be hilarious if we spent our money abroad and improved the team without given the other PL teams any of that Saudi cash. Players like lingaard and Tarkowski will be in the last 6 month of their contracts so the last opportunity to sell or loose them for nothing.

Goal by Vilca yesterday v Cheltenham in. 3-2 win.
