And the rest. 20m minimum..

Who were they, out of interest?

Also says it won't be this week.

Remember Genghis Kahn? What a cunt he was. See, the Saudis aren't that bad.

That's a terrible approach to decision making. The bloke is going to be in charge for several years, I'd rather take another week and make sure we explore every option. Besides which, we will get pumped off Chelsea anyway.

I can entirely believe that we aren't pursuing anyone currently in employment. That rules out most of our list. Favre would still seem a decent bet but there's still something that makes me think we might punch above our weight.

I'll make it easy for all of us. I don't want Martinez. I'm fairly "meh" about Lampard but would get behind him. Benitez and Rodgers aren't going to happen. As for the rest, there's a real selection of quality/weakness in all of them. If I had to pick one of them, that I felt would guarantee us improvement over the next 4 years, whilst also playing some decent stuff, I'd pick Emery.

Can I be the first bellend to say "whataboutery", since that is the get out clause for all arguments in this thread?

you are miles away from reality.

Cool. Will see you in a footballing thread, talking tactics about the murderous regime I'm supporting.

To suggest buying a shirt makes any fucking difference is bananas tbf. Amazing how many people have delusions about their significance.

I would saying giving up your football club for moral reasons is the very definition of virtue.

same as every fucker else then. No better, no worse. Apart from being an incredibly virtuous guy obviously.

Do you support NUFC?

Going to the games? Buying shirts? Or just generally supporting the team on forums, that sort of thing?

I presume @Happinesstanis no longer taking part in anything to do with the club?

Still haven't heard what I'm supposed to do with the human rights abuse information, information which I've known about for my full adult life. "Be aware of", doesn't mean anything. I'm aware of it, now what?

Chelsea game, then a new manager to have the international break.

To be honest, couldn't give a fuck, I've got my club back.

Just keep it within 5 points until January.

For a change we have options off the bench. Crucial.

Absolutely. My suggestion of a banner wasn't a one towards Bruce, as someone above says, that's in the past. It was more something to do with the continuing attacks on from the media. Perhaps something to downplay the negative stereotypes that come from the media towards us.

Wor Flags is the pride of NUFC at the moment. Keep it up boys. Inspiring/influential messages go a long way to telling our story.

Rafas demise at Everton seems inevitable. The fans just don't want him. However, I doubt results will be the killer for him. He will at least get a top 8 finish. It's more likely they will mutually part ways at some point or he will see out his contract. Bad timing for us.
