The Bonk

Remember Hope posting on here waaay back in the day, asking opinion's on things he'd written on blogs. I'm sure he's a decent enough character, who know's what happens to his column's once the editors get to it.

Get him telt.

For me, there was always something off about Isak, seemed to have an arrogance towards being above our club. He was happy enough to be here, but had higher aspirations, which is fine, but his conduct is completely unacceptable.

Sounds like a better fit for them, than us. A lot of egos to manage for Amorim.

Did Man U end up matching our offer in the end?

Same team that couldn’t realize Mo Salah’s talents among others. So leaning into a bias opinion is the best way to judge a player? I don’t think it works that way, mate.

My boy is going to be awesome at Juve, would have been a great signing for us and seems to prefer black and white stripes.

It's been a shit show since Dan the Gardening man fucked off to the Manc's. Still not as bad as the Ashley years, though.

Mitchell's saga with the club is so on brand for us. We're only allowed to have nice things up to a point. I had high hopes for this guy, was willing to give him the benefit of time, but what's come out in the press is obviously shocking and fucked us over in terms of improvement. He was right that our transfer process is not fit for purpose, so I'm sure the smug cunt feels some sort of vindication seeing this shit window play out.

That coiffure is goated.

We got rid of Sels, who’s probably one of the top keepers now.

Happy for him that he gets to stay in the league and not trot off to Saudi like what was rumoured earlier this year. Hope he does well for them.

This is what puzzles me the most, he's going to get paid elite wages at some point. Why sudden rush to get outta town? I suppose it could boil down to being impatient or feeling we've neglected him financially, but have some faith in us and yourself, man!

@JT24 he's also very good at Operations, which we're seeing a need for currently. I'd be really happy with him leading us.

Hadn't realized! I didn't glance at his profile even though I linked it : https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/04/02/david-hopkinson-departing-msg-sports/ Looks like he did well revenue wise during his tenure at MSG. Lord knows we could use it!

Last week it was mentioned we're close on David Hopkinson, who I worked (helped build some digital products for teams with the agency I was at) with when he was at MLSE. He has some serious pedigree and is currently President & COO of MSG (Knicks, Rangers, etc.), IMO, he's a tough get and above Eales in terms of experience. What everyone here is seemingly over looking is the difficulty in hiring an individual at his level. Has it taken longer than most expected? Maybe, but if this is the type of individual we're after, it's going to take time and convincing.

Board of Directors, like most organisations. Here's our active board members: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/00031014/officers Of course they make these decisions, we're talking 10's of millions of pounds in first team player costs.

Is this the type of post your fame is derived from?

Isn't Osimhen signing permanently for Galatasaray?

It was always him, he was going to go, felt like he was bigger than us once he hit his stride, hit the form he’s in. Shame we have to lose him, but full confidence the money will be reinvested and we’ll be fine. Loved having him here, but was never that attached to him.

@Mike is this racist?

These and @Rocker posting his unit in situations is some of the most hilarious internet I've experienced in my 20 years on this site. The internet is fucked.
