I was going to say '"let's see what they say in 12 months time" but they'll probably find excuses for him. "Uncertainty over the takeover" "Ashley hasn't supported him"... blah blah blah

Then there'd be the argument about the club's valuation.

If this drags on, what a clusterfuck next season is going to be

That's the question, definitely. Why don't they reject it outright, now, so the club can move on and function, knowing that MA is the owner for the foreseeable future.

Mr Ashley says thank you.

When are the new fixtures announced ?

He's being optimistic about Dubravka's future.

No shit (sorry )

Bit of exaggerating, no? A shithouse of a professional, yes. But as a human being? I haven't heard anything... Him buggering off from Sheffield Wednesday doesn't show him up in a good light really. More of a shithouse professional rather than a shithouse human. Sheffield Wednesday treated him well with something on a very human and personal level. Nothing to do with football. Bit of a grey one as he was still operating as a 'professional'. That's fair enough. If he'd left for an unbelievable job at a top six club, I could understand it, but to leave them to come to Mike Ashley's NUFC is all I need to know. I personally wouldn't buy any argument about it being his boyhood club.

I'm going to go a bit left field and say no.

I do but in the same way as Brentford. They had it in their hands but blew it. They didn't turn up in the games before today enough. They lost 1-4 to us. That's not impressive.

1-3

Villa will celebrate tonight but what odds they are in the same position next season.

Fair enough but if I were the owner or manager I wouldn't play him unless he committed himself to the club. You do that to a player with influence in the squad and you're well on the way to losing the dressing room. You can't manage a squad in a black and white way like that.

Over the years, we've all heard players say in interviews that they signed for [insert club] because the manager really made them feel wanted. Dropping him from the squad isn't going to make Matty feel like that.

Is the Saudi based source, Manorpark ?

Exactly . . . Logic Please show your workings.

Mid May I think you kept saying over and over didn't you

Preparation? NUFC ? Perfect excuse for Mike to not spend any money.

Leeds have a shit history ? Think you might find that they've won more than us in recent memory.

Didn't Douglas or GC say even the buyers are now not saying what questions they are answering from the PL? If Jacobs is correct then it must be a leak from the PL. You'd think that if it was fully credible and confidential information leaked from the PL, the buyer and/or especially Ashley, would be all over it like a rash, suing the PL for breaching the NDA.
