You don't see the connection with Ashley's greater involvement, Rafa not getting his two targets and the history with this regime? Then you're fucking nuts tbqh.

"Seething". Gotta be a mackem who wrote that. NUFC Fan with good links to Rafa as he used to cover the North West during his time at Liverpool.

'Rafa putting on a brave public face over NUFC's failure to land any of his long declared transfer targets. Privately he is seething'. John 'Ricco' Richardson (Express Journo). Exactly what most people expected to be the case.

Hope the cunts go down.

Rafa has used an interesting term over the last couple of weeks when asked about transfer activity..........'Balance'. Seemingly indicating that he see's the current squad as unbalanced. He's clearly got concerns over CM as everyone can see the reliance on Shelvey. He must have had some encouragement to say publically, as late as yesterday PM, 'possibly two incoming'. For that two to end up being zero, there's no doubt he'll not be happy. He's a man of integrity and I think he'll be a bit fucked off that he's publically stated 'possibly two' for that not to happen and I don't think he'd be inclined to give out positive vibes for the sake of it. There's a chance he may feel mislead here. I can't help but hark back to the KK period with the Milner sale and the false promises about replacements and think that the fat cunt may have lead Rafa up the garden path a bit with this window. There's no question though, any hint of Ashley having a greater involvement, is a negative and puts the Rafa position at risk and that's always going to be our problem. Nobody will have more power at NUFC than Ashley and when these two collide (which is completely inevitable) there will only be one winner/one outcome.

That Mendyl (Morocco's Left Back) looks a cracking prospect. Fast as fuck, strong and a half decent final ball too. 19 years old and currently plays for Lille. I'd imagine he'll end up in a top league soon.

Can't see why we would pay more for a player who is in worse form, a bit older and clearly not in a good headspace there. Surely his return should be at a discount to whatever they paid for him?

Has some cunt missed the decimal point between the 1 and the 6 there? FFS.

I really like that Amavi guy at Villa for LB.

Hope this Silva guy turns out to be good just to wind up Merson and Thompson. Pair of cunts.

Said the same thing this morning. Also, Gayle who is 26 this year and English, bagging his twentieth goal of the season.

He'll be provided with the party line of 'Ashley allows the people appointed to run the football club on a day to day basis'. Which gives no indication as to the accuracy of the report. The Rafa appointment always comes with the risk that he'll fall out with this cunt because he's clearly got very strong morals/values when it comes to relationships above him. Just fuck off out of the way Ashley FFS.

Always came across as a stand up guy imho. Did remarkably well not to wear the abuse from his England days. Would've surely broke many weaker people.

Was listening to Talksport in the car a couple of days ago. They had Phil Brown on and they discussed the managerial situation at Hull. 'So, Phil, what do you make of the sacking of Mike Phelan at Hull?' PB: 'well it's always disappointing to see a young manager, at the start of their coaching career discarded like that, it's never a surpise'. He's 54 FFS.

This fucking guy.

Yeah him, Le Tissier and Graham Fenton are etched onto my soul with their title killing antics. Add Cantona and Schmeical to that and it's a full house. If we'd beaten them that freezing cold night when they done us 0-1 at our place we'd have won the league, I'm convinced. Schmeical was unbeatable. Like a one man wall. We played them off the park and just couldn't score.

Aren't Forest a bit of a bogey team or have I dreamt that up? Always remember that Ian Woan prick killing us. Knobhead.

Be surprised if we see this cunt again. Rafa will be fucking furious with him I should think. Get that fucking scout kicked in the bollocks too.

Love that.

They're onto him far quicker than plenty of NUFC fans were that's for sure.

I've really enjoyed the Douglas articles of the last two days and the whole backroom operation seems very joined up. I do think though that the size and make up of our squad has allowed for an obvious improvement in the injury situation. I can't think of a time in recent history where we've had two genuine elevens.

All those armed people in America and no fucker is around when this bunch are in one place.

Best move for all parties. He gets out, Mackems don't pay any severerance and Scotland don't get any worse.

He's my mates brother. Not spoke to him for a while (last time I did, he was at Blyth), but he absolutely hates Beardsley. Wasn't he really highly thought of at one point? He was. He didn't really do anything during his loan spells away and he's still at Blyth but there's a lot of hatred towards Beardsley and others at the club from his and his relatives side. Could simply just be bitterness and upset mind. .
