Just imagine if our next step isn't to move on to next "manager" target but stick with our setup as is until January......

Is Douglas changing his tune then? From not imminent to imminent perhaps? Does he now know its happening? He has been vocal about doubting this deal all along. I recon its either him back peddling because he knows something or simply hedging his bets. The 3x tweet collection indicates he has no new news but has always been a let's wait and see kind of person regards the take over which is pure bollocks.

TBF even if the tweet is real (account with over 100k followers) the translation is a bit trickey as putting into google it states "final proceeds" which could mean minutes, days, weeks away.

I know we still don't know much about the new prospective owners and by no means does personal wealth = club spending but if it went through where would they rank in terms of wealth in the league?

They have the fall out good or bad articles written for days, where do we go from here, what now etc etc gotta fill column inches somehow with 2 pr 3 snippets of info

especially as the first window may be the biggest level of spending we have ever done with big wages and big fees, if we get a new manager in and we turn into a chelsea always changing managers we run the risk of holding on to some very expensive dead wood. Stick to who knows the club has proven to run a good team on a shoe string who has also worked with medium and large budgets.

When press quote senior officials I have zero clues as to who they are the board consists of the chairman who is the wipping boy and Ashley the only ones in the know are Ashley and his advisors/ legal team. He is under no obligation to keep anyone in the loop good or bad as he owns us "for now" lock stock and barrel

And more Rafa first picks rather than Rafa "if I must" option 25 on the list if I am being sensibly greedy

Or its rondon and not him he means: After Rondon was named player of the year at Newcastle, the question on securing the striker on a permanent deal also came up. Benitez said: "It is easy to say we have to sign him. "But still we have to see what is going on with me! "In 10 days we will know what is going on." Although in 10 days it will only be known whether West Brom have made the play-off final or not.

Chron: Benitez said: "We have one game to play and have to try to do well. "We can finish one position higher in the table and we will try to do that. "After that, we will know. "I have some players asking me questions but still I don’t know. "If we have waited eight months, we can wait another 10 days."

Was Alan Smith brought in originally as a striker? If so him.

We needed 4 and got 2 both of which are a unknown quantity in the league, fitness and time to adapt limiting their games for the season means a 4 for me.

Areet Mike, buy some players. Sorry too busy buying retail at the minute that's what the transfer market is for right?

Football offences act 2Throwing of missiles. It is an offence for a person at a designated football match to throw anything at or towards— (a)the playing area, or any area adjacent to the playing area to which spectators are not generally admitted, or (b)any area in which spectators or other persons are or may be present, without lawful authority or lawful excuse (which shall be for him to prove).

Throwing a tennis ball is hardly inciting violence or riots I don't see the word violence in that sentence though it states in their first paragraph its the throwing things on the pitch and encouraging others that may be grounds to have caused an offence.

I know it's shite but the reason I can see on that letter is throwing items on the pitch to disrupt the game which I thought was the plan?

Lol fuck off. L’Equipe need to lay off the hard stuff United willing to bid 27m as they know they are the fourth lowest bid and players agent has already stated that he isn't interested in coming.......

The most shocking thing will be the genuine shock from some fans we didn't manage to bring the 2 minimum but 4 really first team starter positions we desperately needed.

He is most likely talking shite or talks with Rafa and fuckwit were more productive than either said or selling club realise there isn't a que forming and window closing

You not hear about those in demand vegan sausage rolls?

It's a 5 for me at the minute, honestly I feel that this season's chances are very much dependant on the other teams around us rather than ourselves. Can see little to no movement in the transfer window and therefore our success or failure this season depends on what the teams around us buy/sell/replace and any new manager bounces. Sad really as mathematically its all to play for and 4/5games can swing it positively or negatively for us and other teams very easily. I just think the squad appears like the manager a bit jaded and the 10th place finish no doubt the club will use as their defence was certainly looking like a false position based on the quality of the team.

They cost in fee, agents, bonus' s, wages for life of full contract, cups of tea, kit etc etc rather than just the fee its always how they have inflated I mean made up expenditure.

Risking first team injuries for a competition we clearly don't have the quality or depth to go for is why Rafa will ring in the changes I know, just offering a different perspective to it. Careful your starting to sound like me and its scary
