In our case right now it's to sell the club. Which makes this whole debate about debt irrelevant.

It's actually nearer than the 3rd

He wants rid of the club so why would he put money in it or take a loan? He can make a couple cheap signings and finish 13th or 15th. If in January it looks like we're in relegation battle then he invests. It's a risk worth taking from his point of view. Spend as little as possible to stay in the Premiership. For us the only thing to do is accept that this is what its going to be until he manages to sell the club. No ambition, nothing to look forward to in mid or long term. Just the next match and the possibility of a win.

Debt = harder to sell the club

What about Deulofeu?

That makes no sense. If they both were happy with what we're offering he'd be here now.

Remember seeing Dyer's post match interview from the day Bobby died. He barely held it together.

Joe has been watching that for the past hour

They stopped the game and are having glasses of milk now. Apparently some Irish kids have invaded the pitch too.

Well you dont have to be a genius to understand that this is what the business model is for Ashley. The objective is to keep the squad good enough to stay in the league, not reach for Europe. We got lucky (probably unlucky if you ask Ashley) one season but can't see that happening again in the near future. Why we haven't sold more players is probably because there hasn't been good enough offers. When an offer like that comes in for Cabaye, Krul or anyone they'll be gone.

He doesn't want to finish 5th because then we'd have to actually add to the squad. Rather finish 15th, sell someone for nice profit, get a cheaper replacement in and enjoy the Premierleague tv money.

Let him rest when the season starts.

Can imagine no one said a word to him after the squad went to Portugal.

That photo from Andymc1 was definitely a game changer like. Don't think it would have been resolved within 2 days without that being all over the press... I still don't see how that is relevant to any of this. It's not like he has ever claimed to be the perfect muslim who follows quaran to the word. He just has a faith/moral problem with Wonga. How does the fact he's pictured in the papers gambling change any of that? Only thing it changed are the opinions of some simpleton fans who never understood the real problem to begin with. More likely it's down to Pardew being back from Portugal and having a chat with him.

If anyone seriously thinks that the photos in papers had any other influence on this than making some simpleton fans mad they are insane.

Big win for marriage equality and abortions! We're making history people
