I mean, it was always weird that the PL didn't just want as much money in the game as possible. I suppose they did, but the member clubs and BeIn didn't agree.

Always respected Keys, great man and top broadcaster.

Na, just na.

I do sort of agree but I guess the logic would be that those aren’t reasons to stop going to the match. TBH I would agree with that. The reason not to go is Mike Ashley and the fact the club aren’t trying.

Not sure Luke Edwards has any metrics. Maybe league position? Or “future 10 games”.

Yeah, I mean social media is essential to communication, complaining about it is very counterproductive.

Very harsh to put Wilder in with those two.

Guess they'd argue they didn't ask about protest, and asked these questions in the context of just gathering fan opinion. Still whack tho.

Yeah, would be class

Yeah, the fewer deaths the better really.

It’s like looking into my future

Murphy’s horrific, needs the sack.

What do the members generally want anyway? I seem to remember some quite interesting poll results the last time they did one.

A clique within a clique, shocking. Actually it’s fine.

See: playing Hayden at CB and two wide midfielders at fullback.

TBF to their reluctance to protest, we haven't really shown any desire to protest en masse. Personally I'm pretty much broken now, although I could probably muster the energy to participate if someone else organised it

That's a shocker.

It's an impossible objective to try and play the normal role of a supporters' trust with the current club. It's pointless, so they need to disband (or at least go to a skeleton minimalist structure) for a while if that's what they want to do. If they want to continue raising money and do what's best for fans, they need to mobilise against Mike Ashley.

That's really bad.

Yeah, they’re official city merchandise.

Bernardo gets fouled and Milner should be sent off, Hendo calls him a cunt and tells him to get the fuck up. Thick.

Pardew wants people to think he’s slick and admire him. Bruce just seems to believe he’s above even being asked questions. Or possibly he knows he’s shit and is just really rattled.

Be quite an interesting legal argument if they’d claim that Ashley is justified in neglecting the club and running it into the ground just because the takeover was blocked. And therefore compensation should reflect the cost of relegation. He could easily have kept us in the Premier League with a small amount of investment. He got us relegated twice before the takeover was even a thing.

It’s definitely possible that we’d still grind enough points to survive. But it’s looking more and more unlikely. There’s probably loads of reasons why Bruce hasn’t been sacked. Paying him off would be a an insult that Ashley can’t stomach. Ashley doesn’t care where we finish. Ashley believes we can scrape survival again. Ashley refuses to sanction any more spending because he’s selling. Charnley doesn’t have the phone number of any other managers. No other managers will answer his calls. Managers won’t come because of the takeover. The ones that would won’t commit career suicide by working under our conditions. It’s almost impossible to use normal logic to say what will happen next. Of course it’s insane to risk a £350m takeover by not spending some money now, but that doesn’t mean Ashley won’t do it. We could easily see an unprecedented lame duck manager who won’t resign and won’t be sacked. It’s the perfect storm of ego, negligence, carelessness and recklessness.
