How he didn't get corona from Cheltenham is the greatest medical mystery of our time closely followed by how is he still alive

i mean they'd have to invent a reason that isn't currently in their own rules to knock it back and they'd get fucked in court the moment they did

is there anything concrete on the "FFP more relaxed for new owners" stuff i keep seeing?

just gobshites talking bollocks as per or any new info?

a lot will depend on the structure they want, if they've even decided it if they're going for a continental model of scouting and signing talent somewhat independent of the manager then no point getting rafa imo, he'll want control as we've seen and that control will doubtless include his image of rebuilding the club from the bottom up

these don't exactly say he was forced out like https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/kieran-trippier-tottenham-atletico-madrid-explains-why-he-left-amazing-club https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/kieran-trippier-explains-left-tottenham-19180853 anyway that's a minor point in the overall picture, i maintain he did a very good job at spurs for a number of years...including making trippier the player he was as well btw

thought so aye there was also the contract situation with Alderweireld that prevented him playing a lot of games when they could have done with him iirc

It’s not revisionism at all. Everything that has been said is factually accurate. As I’ve said, I just don’t get why he’s rated so highly, and I’d be looking elsewhere if it was me. He was the one of the first one to bring attacking football with the high press back into fashion when he took over Southampton. Klopp came afterwards iirc. I read somewhere that him and Pep were big disciples of Bielsa, who has always had a very attacking ethos. So that's the reason Poch appeals to me. also bear in mind he was forced to downgrade certain positions at certain times, such as walker to aurier to make money for the club - he was never on a level playing field with those around him in terms of spend, consensus was always he did a great job at spurs until it went sour that last few months furthermore he developed kane, alli & son into the players they are today He also sold Trippier, leaving Aurier as his only ‘decent’ RB, and who wasn’t as good as Trippier in the first place... did he "sell" trippier? i thought the lad wanted away and they couldn't stop him selling england's RB for £20m would be an odd move for Levy if there was nothing from the players side imo

merchandise etc. as well aye, probably loads of little bits of shit he's used to coin it in

what? he can't take money out of the club like that man very roughly it'll be 130m he paid initially paid back 130m loan to himself repaid 300m sale price rumoured so 50-60m profit all told plus the years of free advertising he's done pretty fucking well tbf

if it can't be rafa i'm all in for Poch like, love an argie

Probably the same as any other club having their owners pissing away the whole of their funds on footballers, I’d imagine? not really dude, the entire sovereign wealth of a country is a little different from one blokes bank balance Not arguing for the sake of it, honestly, but the graph merely shows the owners wealth. Other clubs are just as unlikely to spend their entire amount as ours (hopefully!) would. The Reubens are worth 18m- that’s more than any other clubs owner by themselves. aye fair enough

are these ludicrous graphs based on the assumption we'll have the entire PIF fund to piss away on footballers by any chance?

funny that as you sort of allude to it - wonder why he didn't just accept a money back +10% type bid (say 275m) with 10 years guaranteed free advertising greedy cunt i suppose

good

poch revisionism now is it? if this lockdown goes on into june fuck knows where we'll be

this is the crux of it really, no? not one single person is directly defending the SA regime are they? i suppose a few have said they might use the club as part of a modernisation plan or whatever but ultimately it'd be better if we all just shut the fuck up about the majority owners when asked because the SA regime is abhorrent, unless you're one of the people who will walk away/stay away on principles over this

Certain posters are obsessed with discussions like this; it's become more of a sport to get their point across over and over and over. It's almost like they love the drama of it all. The Saudi influence seeping into N-O already. Can't criticise them or respond to ridiculous posts now

probs aye, plus CRB requests or whatever they're called don't come next day i suppose

fuck does that take up to 4 weeks to verify

this is why i don't fully understand this "they're not buying the club" stuff when certain people are pointing out that the country in which the PL operates actively pursues the saudi's to sell them weapons to murder people because we (as a country) appear to love money so much that their "war" or and other atrocities don't even register on any of our news cycles 99% of the time the PL operates within this environment of complicity and the club within the PL the hierarchy of responsibility for who should take a stand against the regime should go something like UN sanctions>>>>>>>>>>UK gov>>>>>PL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>nufc fans i mean ultimately there are 2 options right? 1) take a stand and wash your hands of the club entirely, perhaps start protesting outside the ground etc. depending how strongly you feel and 2) get comfortable with your own hypocrisy in order to rid us of ashley and see us become a competitive football club again i'm leaning towards 2 but given my age now and how long it's been since i was a proper matchgoing fan it's not likely to be that much of an issue, ashley robbed me of the best years with my kid so i'll probably remain more of an interested observer than an active fan going forward saudi regime are reprehensible cunts though, for the avoidance of doubt, i'd just quite like to see rafa benitez leading nufc out with the champions league theme blaring in the background sometime :/

Very good. top drawer

not the first time he's had content of that nature tbf to him like, don't necessarily recall him doing an entire one along those lines aimed at a single club mind...pretty sure the qatar WC is the closest was a bit of a kick in the feels really, felt he should have gone for the UK gov rather than our memorable moments
