We want him, but there's obviously too many other big clubs in there. Just look somewhere else, don't repeat the mistakes of last summer.

It flies in the face of logic but for some reason I've had a feeling for weeks that we'll win this.

It was a nationwide company that deals with cash in transit so put your mind at rest.

A lot of the bigger companies are doing this. It depends on the work I suppose, if you are just on a computer, as long as the work gets done, no one should care. But I do sometimes call a support number and you can hear the baby in the background which is a bit weird.

No chance he starts, Howe doesn't seem to trust him at all after his spell when Pope was out.

Not sure it would tbh.

Tbf most of the time they weren't.

Well on the plus side, that will take the pressure off as it's a legitimate excuse for poor results in the immediate future.

Yep. We have been decent against weaker sides at times this season, but the more resolute ones have given us problems. That said, we played some nice football yesterday and Ramsey and Willock gave us mobility and the desire to crash into the box from midfield. More please!

But humans are involved. I wish they weren't, but being the highly suspicious type, I think even technology is being gamed by the wankers sitting in the VAR box.

Backs up my first impression tbh. The defender's foot still looks closer to the line than Willock's head.

Couldn't watch the game properly due to being at a family do, but he seemed fairly anonymous for most of it. But nice bit of work for the assist.

I think he might have done already, hence Willock and Ramsey starting ahead of him.

Yes. I mean you could say he went over looking for it, but he was in on goal. Why would he?

Another really good shift. Played a big part in the goal wrongly ruled offside.

He was fantastic, ran himself into the ground. That goal was beautifully taken and it wasn't offside either. Fuck VAR.

Finally all the promise delivered. What a lovely finish.

Wonderful scenes at the end with Howe pumping up the away end. That's the Howe we love.

Don't think they deserved to be anywhere near us today, felt like we had a good goal chalked off and two decent penalty shouts.

Losing to the even bigger creep Slot and to Sunderland is as bad as it gets for me. I'd still prefer not to lose but...meh.

So why would PIF offer to put in even 50% of the money? They could just let NUFC cover the lot.

If a loan is taken out against the club then it has to be repaid right? So I would imagine repayments of £1bn would be higher than 500k for example. Don't you think that would impact how much money could be set aside for paying wages fees and salaries?

I thought the last talk we heard about a new stadium was the PIF would pay 50% of it. That would be quite a show of commitment and a big help in paying it down freeing up money to spend on the squad which is where it's really needed. Of course they'd actually have to follow through with it, but I am hoping they aren't bullshitting.

He'd walk over broken glass to come here, but we'd need to be a long way downhill before it would be a good call to bring him here. He's the last person who should follow a fan favourite manager.

Hopefully that's the plan behind the scenes. We just need to set a fair price and stick to it.
