Toon No9

Make the sale of the club go through and drop out of the PL. Hopefully the championship accept the buyers as our owners. Win promotion and we're back in the PL with new owners. Hard to think the PL can say no to them at that point?

I agree what you say in thought #4. Complete the sale before the season starts and the PL would be forced to make a decision. If it's a negative decision take it to court and stall as long as we can. The worst that can happen is we have to play in the Championship but as it stands now we're bound for that anyway, so whats there to loose? Not sure the saudis would want to be dragged through this though.

At least they're doing something. Can't say I disagree with anything in that letter.

Can't we just tell the PL(and the world) we don't want to be part of the PL as long as it's run the way it is today. Announce we would rather play in the Championship and give our place in the PL to Swansea. That would make for a statement! I mean what's the point playing in this league if you're not allowed to compete whith the other teams.

Both parties agreed to this delay. Why would Ashley agree to that? Could it be the PL understood they were about to lose the arbitration and want's to make an agreement out of court instead? They say neither side will make any coments for now. Could the next time we hear something be when it's all agreed and Stavely announces they're the new owners of NUFC? Wishful thinking maybe but it's something else about this then just lack of evidence. Theese lawyers are said to be the best in the buissines so they must have thought about every possible outcome of this.

So, now it's about 15 months till we don't get any answer on the outcome of that?

So, this arbitration started yet?

Just give all the players no.4!!!

So both swiching to no 4 then? Didn't see that coming...? Give the whole squad no 4. The lad who had it last season didn't get many minutes on the pitch. Must be making up for that now.

So where are we today? Does anyone even know which date the arbitration starts or is it still a secret?

I think she came across well in the intervju and Simon did not. He asks a question and doesn't let her answer it before he interrupts her. Doing that is really bad and makes him sound provoking with nothing to really say. He should let her answer the questions and then argue against if he can or want. It's really nice to hear how passionate she is about all this!

Is that the real Joe Linton?

In this situation when Dubravka is injured and will miss the start of the season I would let Darlow go on loan untill january. Give Woodman a chance untill Dubravka comes back. That would give Woodman a good chance to prove that he is good enough. When Dubravka comes back he is no 1 if Woodman's not better. If it doesen't work out we can always bring Darlow back from his loan.

Really nice! Absolutly love that collar.

There's always another delay!

Who or what could force the PL to make the takeover to go through? Are they breaking any laws? It's their own rules. And even if they break their own rules, who's gonna punish them for that? If they decide to not allow it, is there really anyone who can make them do it anyway? For me it should be if the other members(clubs) goes against the PL and refuses to play games or take some other actions and therefore puts pressure on them. But doubt any other clubs would do that(especially not the big six).

My guess is the arbitration is gonna go our way but the PL is gonna keep quiet and keep stalling for some reason no one will know. The PL still has to say yes to the deal and if they don't want to do that, they're not doing it. That is my feeling. Hope I'm wrong though.

I wonder what colour the numbers gonna be. Hope it's red but have a feeling it's gonna be light blue.

Half the collar looks to be white and the other half black. Not sure about that. Does it mean one sleeve is white and the other one black. Hope not. It would look weird. Edit: After a closer look I think it's just a shadow that makes one side of the collar look black.

Wow, all theese kits are really horrible. Liverpools home and away this coming season looks real bad with the all the orange.

Notice the grey and orange shirt worn by the staff on the picture with Lascelles.

Yeah, but it will only be open to players to leave the club for a fee or players to come in on a free.

Does the preseason start today? Haven't heard anything or seen any pictures...

Hendrick was a cheap replacement. Are we gonna raplace a cheap replacement with another cheap replacement? What a time to be alive!?

That Rangers kit looks nice! Like that collar a lot. Simple design. Would look great in black with white trim as a 3rd kit for us!
