Nope I don't think I want him to either. I'm enjoying seeing the charlatan suffer. He signed up for this.

Harsh. He means well. Another one Infinitely Content[/member]

Just makes it even more torturous. Painful stuff, man

Everyone on tenterhooks, waiting for Ando's team news

Paddy power

Wait. Patience. Good things are coming. Future. Tanks. Tanks

Was worth a try.

Not biased at all.

Quiet in here tonight.

It's a lot easier to want us to lose once you've given up watching the games I've found Livescore is one of my fave sources of lols these days. Been watching games on Flashscores for years now

words tho lets see it on the pitch starting tomorow I find the fact that you must press "TAB" before typing, very intriguing

He's saying that MBS making the public announcement makes absolutely no difference to any question of whether PIF is separate to the government. Because we've always known that MBS is chairman and that the PIF board has some government ministers involved. The seperatation issue has always been a legal one rather than a denial that government has some involvement. Also that the buyers believe government and PIF separation isn't the main issue anyway which is why they refused PL arbitration on the issue and instead went to court. Cheers Teasy

I don't understand any of that

The discussion is though, about whether that was down to Bruce or not? I'd fall into the camp that says it wasn't. They were probably all just enjoying getting away with doing very little in training and i'm not sure that you can put that down as a positive with regards to Bruce's management skills.

Do we know for an absolute fact that relegation is a show stopper ? They've spent so long on this, it would be a decision made on such short term thinking if they dropped it because of relegation. With the right structure and management in place, quick promotion back to the PL could be achieved. Buying the club will be a long term plan so it would appear a bit silly to dump it all for maybe 1/2 years in the championship. They want the club because of it's potential. Relegation doesn't take that potential away. All of the “ITK’s” have stated that it’s off it we’re relegated. Should we choose to believe that they know the takeover is still on but ignore that part? Oh of course not. It's as likely to be as correct as all the other info that they provide. I think i'm looking for reasons as to why Ashley doesn't appear to be panicking. As much as he likes to gamble, I can't believe he (or the buyers) would gamble on this falling through, given how much has been spent on it. Ashley has shown time and time again that he is willing to take that sort of gamble. Should the issues with the O&D test be sorted any time soon I can't see the takeover going through until the outcome of that gamble is known. If he's prepared to gamble on relegation and subsequently the sale, then it tells me that he isn't truly committed to getting rid of the club. That and that he is an utter fuckwit. He's spent the past 13 years doing everything he could to prove exactly that. Certainly don't disagree. I just thought this time was different in that I thought he definitely wanted to sell the club.

My last shred of hope I think is with Ando. He said to keep the faith. My hope is thin on the ground mind.
