No one will tell me what to do! Boo the team, support the regime.

Not that I believe we'll sign or have any interest in signing any players but Keeper has to be one of the least priorities on our list!?

Thankfully the Rafa leaving news broke on the last night of my holiday, would have been a right bummer if it was the first day. Until then there was genuine hope of a takeover plus Rafa staying. Looks like neither now Literally broke on my first day on holiday, I was in Atlanta, I'd like to say it didn't ruin my holiday but I spent more time than I should refreshing newsnow and here ffs

Read into this what you will, I may be missing something her but why wouldn't sky bet give odds for this?

Quite the contrary, there will be "£100m available" to the new manager (head coach) but we'll lowball all our offers, refuse to be held at ransom and struggle to get deals over the line

Can't see anything but a slow and painful relegation for this lot, toothless up front and our expert defensive organiser has left. We won't be half as effective in defence and less than that in attack without Perez and Rondon.

Its massively indicative of Mike Ashley's NUFC, every fibre of the club screams cheap. The fact he didn't dish up the food himself doesn't absolve him of the fault for an embarrassing display such as this.

Not sure where to post this so I'll pop it here:

Although Europe is the name of a rock band from the 80s it is unclear if they have been approached about the vacant head coach position at this time.

The fucker is monumentally stupid. This is the best bit: https://twitter.com/lee_ryder/status/1147474861121581056?s=19 For some reason he stopped talking after he was rightfully vilified for that answer :lol:

No bones about it NUFC is getting relegated this season in a thoroughly soul destroying campaign, sign me up!

I can't see anyone wanting to buy the club after this debacle

@ifashleygoeswestay it's the future.

Me too. No thank you to Sports Direct United. This is where I'm at, genuinely like the chat in here with most but the "football" with this regime, no matter the manager is now irrelevant, if Rafa couldn't get an ounce of ambition from fatty, no one will.

It'll be interesting to know the renewal numbers, there's a lot of talk of people quitting after 20/30/40 years and their kids too, of course social media isn't a great barometer but it's definitely the most United I've seen the fan base online. This has got to be it now surely, there's no coming back from this nightmare.

So the PR machine is at mach 3 in the last few days, Mike's a lovely bloke that has spent loads of cash and only wants the best for NUFC, BZG made him get rid of Rafa but they haven't actually put a bid in for the club. And if you believe all this then all hope is gone. Ashley is about to close the door, pocket the cash for another failed retail company. I honestly thought this time would be different, BZG seemed like the real deal but there's no accounting for Ashley's ability to kill any deal dead and claim it's everyone else's fault. This needs to blow up in his face now.

His response made absolutely no sense. If you read it as he's responding to what he originally wrote in January it makes sense, but when I questioned why he says he still believes that is he saying he's not going to quit going to the matches just yesterday then he ignored me. As much as it pains me to say it, he is an influencer and if he can't get his story straight then what are the people that follow him without their own mind going to do?

Steve Wraith is an idiot, I called him out thus morning on his change of stance and he went back on it: [/url!]

He’s one of a board of many, people need to get over this obsession with him. His contacts and reach have been invaluable to the board over last six months. I'm sure they have, but the bloke wants fucking gagging, man. Virtually every supporter group is behind a boycott, including The Magpie Group - which he's a part of. He's basically a celebrity fan these days so he needs to be more self-aware. He's massively self-aware he's just oblivious to everything and everyone else around him, after all it's only him that matters, right? Right??

Tbf I was reading through the replies and I'd say 95% disagree with him

He’s never loaned his own money to the club once Man, he’s taking a lot out though. He’s robbing the club right left and centre and has from day one. Thats his point and why "lend" and "loans" are in quotes. There are plenty of our fans who believe what Ashley says though granted. it's just another way for him to take yet more money from the club and hold it further to ransom.

Straight out of the Ashley playbook, recoup as much cash as possible, put the club in disarray, fiddle the books with erroneous costs to make us look skint, get relegated, "lend" the club more money, gamble on getting promoted first time by out-spending the league with borrowed cash, get back in the Premier league, free advertising and more money to trouser recouping his "loans". It looks less and less likely that any kind of takeover will happen in his lifetime and no one is asking any questions, the blame is already being put firmly at that greedy Rafa's door by the media. Its like a slow motion train wreck and we're powerlessly being forced to watch it on repeat.

Its irrelevant really, no one can do anything with this team while Ashley has his claws in the club. Fwiw they'll probably just coast into the new season with Redfearn as temp and no signings. It'll be at least mid-August before they consider a permanent replacement or Redfearn if we're not dead last.

Looks photoshopped. Definitely a slight difference in skin tone between the head and body, I think you're on to something Bimps
