Of course he has, it's like me announcing I've just turned down the opportunity to staple my ballsack to the desk.

Is that the equivalent of the yearly transfer-window cry of "It's not even July yet, lads"? Before we change it sequentially to August, mid-August and then late-August before finally admitting that we need to start to panic and lower our expectations horrendously?

Posting ridiculous newspaper headlines and not even mentioning the Daily Sport.... What is the world coming to?

I don't.

Not a bad paycheck for Grayson. 3 years' pay for a few months work. I'd take that.

Ah, man. I think I can hear the bews from here.

Can't be any worse than Wonga 0% Interest! Speak for yourself, this last week has worn my F5 key flat.

We can do one then the other. Why choose?

Will we still be able to get a pint at half time?

Yeah there's not a lot of goals in that lineup.

Or "relegated from the PL"?

In "a" Champions League game, he asked Benitez to step outside for "a moment". Basically it could be anything, even if there's any truth in it. But suddenly the press will have it as Stevie G conducting the whole of the CL final team talk.

2nd bottom and he reckons not many could do better. Guess by that he means Rafa, Mourinho, Klopp, Poch etc would all have them rock bottom.

Excellent, sounds like he's sticking around.

You're forgetting the Trampionship is an actual pub league, marra.

Ball flew too close to a plastic bag at one stage and I started following the wrong object. Fucking dustbin of a stadium.

A new stadium name will just be ignored by the supporters, it doesn't matter what some corporate institute wishes to call it. I couldn't GAF. Also regarding investment.... I'm 40 now. When I was 15-20, I'd have wanted to win the league fairly. To see us out-compete these sovereign states. However now with half my life behind me and not a single sniff of a trophy, I'm starting to thing "fuck that" and I couldn't care less how we win something. Bring on the billions, if that's what it takes. Fuck everyone.

We were sold last night, did you not see the screenshot?

Thing is, Pardew is likely to do OK for about 6-12 months with any new club, so he'd not be a bad choice for anyone right at the bottom and battling to stay in the league. I'd not be surprised if he managed to pull a team out of the relegation positions and keep them up. Things only tend to go to shit once he gets his full philosophy across to the players in training and Pardews them, and then gets let loose in the transfer window, sells those players who don't want to play his awful hoofball and replaces them with a few "proper grafters" and 6 left backs.

Have you seen our current one?

What, aside from us being bought by a multi-billionaire just 10 years ago?

Plot twist - She did the edit herself.

Personally I think that with every week that goes by it's looking *more* likely they get out of that division this year.

Bloke (some "expert") on totalsport saying its a game changer cause it means the buyer will be able to invest in the squad while still buying the club Tend to agree with Odin. None of the buyers of Man City, Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal's investors, Everton's new guy nor Bournemouths new guy have needed to stage payments to be able to invest in the playing squad. Strikes me that no 'big' players are sniffing if he's got to incentivise potential buyers with staged payments so publically. This. And if the buyers need our revenues to finance the deal to buy the club, we'll not have much money to spend going forward as it'll all have to be fed back into paying Ashley.

He's selling the club to Amazon. Which will also be the name of our Stadium. It'd be the Prime Arena.
