Whatever the fuck about the horse bolting a cart or whatever

Look at the shoulders ffs

You know when you hear the phrase "some people just want to be miserable"? I always thought ultimately that isn't true, but if you can't just be happy that Ashley is leaving then I reckon you had some pretty average birthday parties in your time.

Not like government has supported the region...

It's perfectly possible to enjoy supporting the club but still disapprove of the actions of the owners in other areas. Those two things are not mutually exclusive.

 

My main gripe with Ashley has always been his running of the club I supported. I've only ever drawn attention to his shit business practices as a way to put pressure on his ownership of the club. For example, whilst I acknowledge he's a cunt, I can't say I lose any sleep about how Philip Green runs his retail empire. He's of no consequence to me.

 

What I want from my football club owner is someone who does their best firstly for the football club and, secondly, the region. Irrespective of how much I disapprove of their other practices, I'm not going to fight against them if they're doing their best on the footballing front. I'll let others who are involved in that specific area fight that fight, because first and foremost I'm a football supporter, not a diplomat or MP or Journalist. Let others do their job in that regard and I'll do mine of enjoying the football.

 

After 13 years, I fucking deserve that much. I'm too tired.

 

x infinity

Who would of thought it only take everyone to stop going to the matches for Ashley to decide to sell up......

Loooooooooool

Rafa with a big budget behind him sends me from six to midnight in the old trouser department. The big beautiful Spanish sod.

You have a 180 degree erection?

Can’t say I’m enjoying the Saudi flags and bin salman is a Geordie craic too much. Sorry lads. I’ve tried. Blokes a monster.

Entirely valid concern but I think it’s just for another day personally.

I hate the idea that Bruce will look like some sort of martyr by the happy clappers if the new owners get rid of him from day one.

Miniscule price to pay.

That is very true, from this lawyer.

Any reports yet of Brewcie packing his bags ? ?

 

Looking forward to the media making out that it's a disgrace how the new owners have treated him. Completely ignoring the manner in which he left Sheff United.

Media can suck my shiny sportswashed nob rod, like

£13m is a figure from somewhere for the deposit. Wonder if that is 5%?

 

No reason to doubt figures from somewhere. That's definitely the 5% deposit.

 

Would that make the overall price of the club £260m?

You’d imagine there will be add-ons for certain eventualities

Well done Jinky Jim, this has certainly pushed on since you created a new thread 

 

Thank you “Numbers”....if it does go through then yesterday’s positive thinking from all of us has eventually driven the Devils Advocate from our club.....When/if it happens a round of applause for us “Believers”

ARE YOU MANDY

ARE YOU MANDY

AAARRRREEEEEE YOU MANDY IN DISGUISE

ARE YOU MANDY IN DISGUSE

Only we could get taken over when football might never start again.

It’s definitely going to start again

can’t wait until we thrash Liverpool 4-3 for next year’s title

Morty + me are game again! No more stadia

That’s impressive!

Very close at the top and bottom after round 3.

Before the stadium round bulldozes through our matchstick walls of hope

Smashing off a few preparatory rounds of Sporcle lads - be wary.

Keen!

Had no idea he owned Evans. Have just cancelled my cycle to work scheme orange Brompton.

The man has all the charm and compassion of a stomach ulcer.

Being honest with ourselves he’s crap, really. And I reckon he will be used by the Ashley regime and media cronies in the future to say “big money signings don’t always guarantee success” when (i) he’s been loaned to his 3rd club in 4 years and (ii) NUFC fans express disgruntlement that we’ve been outspent by every team in the PL and 2/3 of the Championship. Rondón is a better player in every way.

This feels different tbh. Fingers crossed we're done with this fuck soon.

There’s that phrase again

Fool me once, twice... would this be like the sixth time now?
