Colos Short and Curlies

Fees for sale weren't in the ask though

Michael Owen Jack Colback (yes I know) Gabriel Obertan (for pushing HBA out the team) Marcelino Steve Bruce

She's just been burnt by a technicality in her win against Barclays, so it's no surprise that she is very careful with her language here. Officially the Saudi's have pulled out so saying they are still involved could be used against the club by a clever lawyer in either arbitration of CAT. Saying they are still committed is vague enough to be a non-event for a judge, easy to bat off as being committed once the process going forward has been clarified. We don't go to court on the specific point of separation if PIF are not still 'involved'

What other reason would anyone be involved in anything other than it suiting them? Jordan really is thick as pig shit at (that majority of) times

Ashley's got a stealth chopper? Oh sorry, no that is Darren Grimes

That's Martin from Game On

So 18 months to the World Cup, unlikely to see many of the team drop out due to age and similarly unlikely to have any new young players get enough game time to make a compelling case to break into the team. So how do we build on the momentum from the World Cup and these Euros? Big risk that if nothing changes we go backwards and waste this generation of players imo - bit like losing the play off final. But who takes us forward? Yeah it's going to be Southgate but for his and the teams immediate future I'd make a change. Not many stand out candidates though, Howe maybe? Bruce? Pardew? Or do we need to look abroad again?

Games have been more than decent amd I know Covid will have played a part here but not a fan of the multi Country format. Much rather a host nation.

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
