And on top of that its Hi-Techs made on the cheap with cheap materials in a sweat shop with no air con and poor workers rights. Hi-Tech in name only.

SD running outdated system software, with an unpatched/insecure portal = wouldn't be another example of Wor Mike's penny pinching would it? I hope this leaves SD/Ashley vulnerable, potentially, to a class action lawsuit (by it's employees whose personal data has been pinched). Probably running a hooky copy of windows 2000, his IT support is most likely a YTS lad on the cheap. IT in his business isn't a revenue stream so there is no investment in it. IT can be a revenue stream. Ever heard of e-commerce websites? For example, Amazon or sportsdirect.com NO what are they ? I meant the day to day support of his systems. Not the on line sales business. Updating your security isn't a revenue stream.

No, Mitro is slow and doesn't cover the ground. If he doesn't run the channels as a forward then he aint going to job in defence. He's also prone to ragdie reckless challenges. Nah no thanks, would be funny tho. Maybe try if we get promoted with a few games to spare.

Not expecting to get promoted or Rafa is leaving in the summer not matter what and they need to quell the fan rage with a discount :lol: "Sign up for a 20 year season ticket for 300 a year and we'll churn garbage out season after season"

Yep. This is the begining of the end of Rafa.

His team were scared apparently.

so are most clubs, they just buy more so they get it right on one of them at least while we buy maybe 1 a summer. Whats the name of that lad from Slovinia who has been on our books for what seems like a decade now?? HE went on loan to Rangers and scored a couple of goals.

Most of these young'uns we buy are absolute duffers

The money was clearly there. Rafa was given a £30m transfer budget and generated a further £30m of transfer profit on top of that. Even the biggest Ashley apologist can't go down that route. Just because we made a transfer profit doesn't mean there is money in the club. I think the club is experiencing cash flow problems. Then Ashley should remove all the free advertising for his tat empire and seek out some new commercial sponsors. Its all his making. The man is a tit.

Last page, Gimp. Aye seen that, do we have a full transcript anywhere?

What has he said?

Haddaway man

Eh Fan pressure to buy Owen ? I don't recall people in the stadium of outside the ground, posting on forums or fanzines demanding we sign Michael Owen. The deal came out of the blue A bit of history being rewritten here and as always the people at fault never have the guts to own up to tragic mistakes.

I was just thinking that

Well it was a good run with Rafa, I enjoyed it while it lasted.

I hope he chinned the pair of them, new manager and same old problems.

And they stood idly by as Pardew was almost relegating the club, took them 3 quarters of the season to sack Schteve when the writing was on the wall long before that Bournemouth game and they finally get a man in who can build a team and they start interfering.

This has to be someone working for the club Its Mike himself.

Lee Charnley deciding football matters

It could be others that Ashley wines and dines with, I'm sure he is still mates with Wise and Kinnear. Doesn't Kinnear drink in Ashley's local, you can just imagine earache coming from Kinnear.

Thinks Rafa should be walking the league, we aren't so holds back on making sure we go up. Sound logic that like.

Ashley doesn't care man, hes been really fortunate over the years and blown the lot. Started off with Shepherd hiring Allerdyce before he bought the club. As much as we all hate him, he can keep a club in the prem on a strict budget. A perfect man for Ashley you would think. Gets sacked as the transfer window opens, funny that! KK calls up and wants the job, he gets the job and is gone in 6 months as he could not work under Ashley and his set up selling players late in the window and bringing in dross without his knowledge. After a huge mess and relegation Shearer offers to take on the job, gets totally ignored. Chris Hughton gets the job by default as nothing is sorted out over the summer, Ashley gets lucky with Hughton as he gets the club promoted and stabilizes the club in the prem. Hughton then sacked as he agreed with the players over bonuses etc. Pardew turns up, much to everyone's shock. Caroll sold for mega bucks late in the window, no one comes in to fill the void. Pardew guides the club to 5th and Ashley doesn't invest again to bolster for the Europe League. Three more years of utter failure under Pardew and then we end up with a reluctant Macca as even Pardew cant take anymore. Macc gets sacked as the club is on the brink of relegation and Rafa turns up out of the blue. Its the same thing over and over again with Ashley. Tiote sold, no players coming in. Weve seen it all before. Manager left hacked off.

Hi Lee!
