Aye, the various humpings at the end of last season gave some fairly clear indications as to how happy MA was with AP tbh.

Probably not but they did sack Donachie for same thing? - Can't be having a Manager / non-playing staff doing that. Highly hypocritical if he doesn't go and surely gives Donachie some sort of ammunition for unfair dismissal? I don't think he can claim that when he resigned and wasn't technically 'dismissed'.

You've got to remember the local press have been desperate for this, or something like it, to happen. I think they now see him as very much aligned to the Ashley regime (no s***) and also apportion some of the blame for their banning down to him. The nationals are probably just jumping on the back of the local press. I think he'll go. Not because Ashley is incensed by what he's done, more because he's been waiting for an excuse since last season and will see the chance to bin him, with no compen, too good to turn down. There might be that . I can't see it personally.

The problem is if the stumbling block for Ashley canning him was the masochistic 8 year contract then surely this would be tantamount to an acceptable sackable offence without the need for compensation? Gross misconduct in any walk of life. Exactly my point. If he's been put off binning him because of a compo clause then he can fire him with genuine reason and without fear of any come back. Not gonna happen though. I reckon MA will love all this tbqh.

Agree with all of this. He's an athlete first.

Suspending the betting? I'd be upping the odds to entice punters in. There's no way Ashley would be arsed about the F.A or Press reaction to this. The only way he's going is if Ashley has wanted an excuse to peddle him on the cheap.

I like him.

Had £100 on over 2.5 in both NUFC and Liverpool games. Returned £350.00.

Got back to the point of being immensely useful this season.

He's the last Owner in the league to give a fuck about negative press. There's no doubt about it, he'll be finding this whole thing funny.

I think he'll get 10 games.

Good team selection from the GBH-ing cunt today though .

Really need over 2.5goals on the Liverpool match tonight for an immense day.

Like this fella. Good pedigree.

If Ashley was ever looking at a way of getting rid of the cunt for free, this is it.

That's his second goal this season. He's hardly setting the world alight. Decent conversion though.

Well, it worked so well in the Europa league, why wouldn't you go again? Just look at how Ameobi Mk2 and Vuckic have fared.

Had a decent night last night. Backed BTTS in the Chelsea Match and also 1-1 for the score. I only had a couple of quid on though to have an interest so bit of a missed opportunity.

'Hope' Ian.

DP also explained that thoughts are turning to next season and that Wonga remains open to fans' ideas for 'set-piece' occasions. Seriously? Who are we, Bolton? Annnnnnnnd, here comes your corner, sponsored by Wonga.com. Annnnnnnnnnd it's hit the first man.

What a player this lad is. It'll be a very long until we see a CB as good as he is in our colours.

"We was close to getting a couple over the line but, unfortunately, science fucked us over".

I'm sure Carr trusts AP's player judgement implicitly. He found Obertan FFS!! Carr might as well be touring the globe trying to get Nike or fucking Hi-Tec or whoever to knock another 2-3% off their RRP on behalf of Sports Direct. The role is the same. Get cheap products, mark them up and sell to any cunt daft enough to buy them.
