Fuck would have sworn we have had a shootout already

So will the winners here be the first team ever to win 2 shoot outs in the same Euro tournament?

Nice to see some traditions are being kept alive

Top 4 target, takeovers on.

Watching that interview, then imagine the first press conference after the takeover with Amanda sitting next to Kevin Keegan who has been brought in as the key football advisor. Fuck we need someone like her in charge

I don't care about Saudi money, I want Amanda Staveley to be our chairwoman and visionary

Anyone take Enrique as manager when the takeover happens? Despite looking like an aged Patrick from Coupling he'd add some style to the dug out at least

Chairmen are lazy, there will be a good handful of Championship clubs who would see last seasons league position and take a punt. If he was really a football man who just wants to be in the game then he could drop to league 1, live off his (hopeful) payoff from Staveley and co but his ego is probably too big for that

Until the process is completed then the only parties engaging in the D&D test are the PL and NUFC. It is the club that officially puts the potential D&Os forward and therefore the arbitration has to be between the PL and NUFC. Of course PIF/PCP/Reubens know what's going on, but officially they don't. Same as Man U, Liverpool etc, they 'know' but they don't know whats going on

It's a completely different skill set requirement to be a top class coach/number 2 compared to a manager, happens everywhere, not just football

I thought she was post shit tbh

But as corruption typically requires money its just as well we have one of the richest countries in the world on our side

R Taylor nickname surely 'ryan'

Maybe, maybe not but a takeover, no Mike, no Lee, no Bruce. New manager, couple of decent signings and a decent shirt to signal the start of the new era. It would fly off the shelves. People buy retro when the present is pants or the replica represents good times. If the here and now is the good times then the current shirt will be what is bought

If the takeover comes off then Castore really have struck gold, it would likely be our best selling kit ever

Just as well I covered all bases with using Taylor rather that Steve T! Lets be honest, Ryan was a grumpy git as well, can easily see him being non friend of the TV just like Stevie T was a radge packet

No shock on Taylor being the nemesis of many a hotel TV

Was the integration with the community more important because of Ashley though? The City owners have done a pretty good job of that without the need of a Rafa, I'd have confidence that the momentum of a takeover along with a Staveley/Reuben led PR push would give the city its club back and the manager just needs to 'get it' and build us up. We kinda needed the snaps by Tynemouth Priory with Rafa, not sure we would in a new era

Was indeed

Thought I'd sex up this thread as well

He's not delaying them this year though, he's changing them. And they were always filed by April/May time until last year when they were early June. So slight difference in approach

247 pages and 3 posts are people asking why the thread exists tbf

Nothing has changed with the accounts for donkeys years. He's normally late or right on the wire for filing them but that's it

Disagree, One way or another its likely that the accounting date change is takeover related, its just high on impossible to work out what, and if it's positive or negative

With Gerrard and Lampard only retiring 5 years ago (about the same time as Bale effectively retired ) there is no way he is the best British player in the modern era. Unless of course the modern era is 2017 onwards and the award is for the best sitting on a bench
