At his average win rate he'll win about 10 games which will nestle us nicely in that 16-18 spot.

Andy Robertson defends him by saying "his record speaks for itself". That it does.

If everyone hated their missus less Mike would be fucked by now.

Paid for a manager a championship team are glad to see the back of. Ambition.

Bit of a nerve complaining about getting abuse on twitter then posting shit like that

Carver talking bollocks about him having a good record in the Premier League. Compared to his own record

Hope he turns us down and we go into the season without a manager. That would be the ultimate representation of the club.

Thought they were all dead?

Does it make it better or worse that Bruce is therefore not their first choice?

Alan Curbishley is finally due a crack.

The best calibre manager we will ever, ever see. And they let his contract expire.

Official website is dead

Fuck, I can't believe I'm going to defend this in any way, but the construction deaths that are always touted need to be taken with a pinch of salt because when you have 100,000s men aged 18-55 doing construction for the best part of a decade, there is a percentage which are statistically expected to die which then get included in these "X number of men died making stadiums". Are they treated well? No. Are they all dying like 1900s miners? No.

If this goes to ET I might just go to bed

Gini vs Sissoko, the pinnacle of club football.

Just sleep until Friday. That's when the finances are being sorted. Apparently. Hopefully. https://twitter.com/MidhatKidwaiUAE/status/1133104850953232384 Not 100 % sure that account is real, but hey. His current location being London can be both positive (meeting) and negative (fake account) I guess. Getting their own URL wrong isn't that promising either

Hopefully this gets confirmed properly by Thursday, there's a full week of national holiday in the UAE following that...

Yup, the guy is considered a bit of a laughing stock in the Emirates. The folks at Liverpool were scrambling to disassociate themselves from the story when his side leaked it to the press. I'd consider Mike Ashley a certifiable genius compared to this fella. I'd advise caution, this isn't a sovereign entity purporting to buy the club. We have harrowing case studies of White Knight owners from the Middle East trying to rebuild two proud English clubs (Forest & Pompey) over the past decade. Sheikh Mansour is a prominent member of the Government of the UAE, son of the founding President and half-brother of the current ruler. Sheikh Khaled is a step removed from the inner circle this (as are most of the royal family) so this bid won't be "oil money" or backed by the state or anything to that degree, he has made his money in business.

Hot take: Director of Football doesn't work at smaller clubs where the manager doesn't have such a large role as they buy loads of shit players the manger doesn't want.

Alright Nigel

"Apart from that James Perch chance"

As if Perez is 25, he's been here for about 10 years

Fill it full of Sport Direct shite, riding its rotting corpse all the way down, leeching it dry then fucking off back to Sport Direct?
