I forgot Lewis, he’ll probably be in.

Whilst all that is true, the pandemic has, in an odd way, worked out well for Ashley from an NUFC point of view. Fans have had 18 months of not being able to go and going is normality for them. It’s the day out, it’s seeing family and friends in the pub and everyone is sick of sitting inside alone. So I think there’s a feeling of seeing what it would be like without their ticket and putting all feelings aside. I haven’t been since Rafa left and I won’t be rushing back any time soon but if I wake up one day and fancy watching ASM before he leaves then I probably will.

I had been a believer but the day Caulkin said Justin Barnes was the consortium’s source the penny dropped for me. Ashley has £17m from them, will go to court for as long as it takes (the longer it goes on the less pressure he gets from the fans, he’s trying you know…) to probably get more compensation somewhere down the road. If the Saudi’s are still interested after all that he gets £350m too, or the circus rolls on for more years.

Why is everyone so confident about Brentford? Never known a side promoted via the playoffs to have such a backing

I don't think Burnley, Wolves, Southampton or Brighton are any better off. Palace could go either way. The top clubs have gone mad, a lot of the rest have been a bit tit for tat. Likewise the three promoted clubs, I've seen very little suggest any of them will be better than relegation candidates. If our star players stay fit for the majority of the season we won't be in any trouble whatsoever. Unfortunately even a couple of injuries exposes our shit squad depth.

He needs replacing so we can move forwards but the system he finished the season in made him look decent. All he has to do is pick the ball up off the centre halves and spread the play to one of our runners. He's so deep he doesn't get left for dead in a foot race and he doesn't even attempt to go upfield.

What else is he going to do? All he’s doing is trying to do is give himself even less to do as he won’t want to go and find a new manager. The court case will drag on even if PIF walk away, Ashley wants his compensation.

In all seriousness I think it’s Justin Barnes. Didn’t somebody uncover the account was used for something else years ago? The account mentioned Bruce’s contract extension a few days ago and ever since Caulkin said Barnes was the consortium source I just find it weird. I can picture him and Ashley giggling whilst they basically tweet harsh truth about the fans they clearly have nothing but contempt for

Were Norwich in the PL when we loaned them Jonas?

0-0

I imagine Arsenal want to sell him to raise funds, he’ll want to come back here but we will only loan.

Would rather shit in my hands and clap

If you think about our best team and everybody being fit and on form we should be nowhere near the bottom 5. The manager, however...

Muto is in talks with Aris Salonica. We hardly knew ye.

I just hope PIF are prepared to wait long enough for this shit to hit the fan (if the parties involved don’t find a way to weasel out of it - which they inevitably will)

See Kev makes it sound like there’s a way forward, somebody earlier referenced this article like it was the beginning of the end

What is happening here

Thanks. No wonder the PL haven’t settled if there’s a chance of further delays. I guess the next big milestone will be if this gets delayed or not then. If it doesn’t I’d expect the PL to settle or there’s going to be a lot of public information which I doubt they’ll be keen on.

Can the CAT case be kicked down the road in the same way? I feel like if there’s a “do nothing” option it will be taken

I’m not positive but it was only a few days ago Staveley said everyone was still involved. I don’t think they will be keen to lose face as what’s to stop other things they try to buy into kicking up a fuss? I’m deflated and less confident of it going ahead but I don’t think it’ll be because PIF walk away

Wasn’t that the guy who took a strop at Saudis buying us and not MUFC?

If it wasn’t for Mr Amanda’s tweet I’d be all up for speculating but if he reflects the mood in camp I don’t see how this can be a positive

Yet we’ve given the mole a new contract

I know people are sick of hearing it but Kennedy clearly has a source involved with all of this but unfortunately they don’t know if it’s going to go in our favour. Nobody does. We are relying on De Marco’s strategy to get this through the courts and that has been the case since about October. It’s all been about getting things in the public eye and a series of power plays will culminate this week it seems.
