What’s he said? Apparently heard from a relient source that we apparently are close to apparently a takeover apparently before the Man U game. Apparently said he would belive it when he sees it. APPARENTLY!!! So... Its happening? Well... Apparently!

Well, this is the fantasy thread so: - New owners (the Kenyon group would do) - Miguel Almiron - Michy Batshuayi - Jetro Willems - Ruben Loftus Cheek - Josef Martinez Well thats a start anyway...?

No, wednesday before Man U game, acording to Steve Howey!

If he knows al the media(wich he probably does) why hasn't he denied it to anybody if he's not interested in a takeover. What's in it for him being linked with us if it's not true? Has anybody in the media asked him? Fuck off man. You know the media right? The fuckers who will tap phones to get a story. "No we thought we didn't want to bother Peter, he's a busy man." There is a NDA, that's why he's saying fuck all and that's why we know fuck all. You don't sign the NDA if you're not interested to buy the club. And signing the NDA doesn't mean you can't say you're interested or not. It means you're not allowed to to leak information about what you find out when checking the books. Or am I wrong? The NDA will be bespoke so you agree to not say whatever’s in the NDA. So no way of knowing Yes, that could be right of course. But if he hasn't signed a NDA he could deny any interest and he hasn't. And if he has signed he clearly has an interest. Just think that the silence points to that someting is happening.

Just the kind of player we would need now. Someone who can keep hold of the ball and pass it around so we don't just hoof it as far away as we can all the time. A pity he didn't want to stay a bit longer than he did.

Ok. Then the fans have what they deserve. No meaning to complain about anything. Let Ashley take your cash and get nothing back. Just watch a dull game and go home and wait for the next dull game. Thats not for me. A change is needed and nothing will happen as long as we don't do anything about it.

This isn’t true and if you haven’t seen them please tell me why. Didn't we call off the boycott of the Wolves game? And the protests in London came to nothing. No protests at the matches except a few outside the club shop. Thought the Magpie Group said the protests should escalate and we wouldn't give up untill Ashley sells. Regardless of whether you think things have impact or not they weren’t nowhere to be seen. The guy came out on TV again directly after 2 protests including the 11th minute and hoping to head off the boycott - it was partly a genuine question because if people aren’t seeing them then it’s half the problem. We can't stop boycotts and protests just because we might have someone interested in buying the club. Full steam and pressure on Ashley untill a deal is done. If someone wants to buy the club he's not gonna be put off because of some protests against the current owner.

Maybe not that low but I think 35 definitely will be enough. We have 17 now and 35 is max I can see us getting It's fucking vital we beat Cardiff,Huddersfield and Burnley at home I think 37 if we're lucky. Can't see where the points will come from though...?

So with the boycott off and no protests anywhere to be seen. Aren't we gonna start shopping at sportsdirect aswell? Bet they have a sale now! ??? Come on, lets get Ashley out of here once and for all. Hunt him out. Do whatever it takes!!!

What's happening with this takeover stuff?

This is essentially the main issue and has been for years under Ashley. We aren't a true sporting institution because we don't strive to achieve anything. Two best posts of the year tba! Sums it all up. We must put in all the effort we can to put pressure on Ashley. He must sell up now. Doesn't even care if we go down and/or Rafa leaves. Just get Ashley out of this club!

What's the point with all this shite! Sell the lot! ASHLEY OUT!!!

No confidence happened.

I don't question the work done by Rafa. Without him we would be stuck in the championship right now. I'm talking about the next step. When(or if) new owners comes along. THEN I want a more offensive aproach and maybe another manager. As long as Ashley is here, Rafa is the best man for the job(too good to be here actually).

I like Rafa as a person. He says the right things and raelly cares for the fans and the club. He is a great proffessional and got bags of experience. But the football we play under him is so boring to watch. I know he has never got the players he wanted and never been backed by Ashley(and never will). But I'm not sure the football won't be much funnier to watch even if he gets better players, although we may get more points. If we ever get new owners(wich I think will happen at least untill the summer) I'm starting to think it would be good with a new manager at the same time. A new voice for the players and a manager who wants to play some offensive football for once. Like I said, still likes Rafa and not sure on this. Maybe we could play another football with Rafa if he get the players he wants but I'm not sure. Think he has his way of playing the game and it's very defensive minded. Not sure that is what I want to see in the long run if we get new owners with a little bit of ambition. Thoughts?

Dummett is a leftsided cb in a 3-cb-system for me. Dummett Fernandez Lejeune That would be our 3 cb:s in that system imo.

Have you emailed this to Rafa? Our Champions League winning manager might need your tactical help I might actually do that. He seems to be needing some help at the moment.? It's not like he have won any champions league here?

I'm all for playing 3 att the back. But the reason to do it is to get our wingbacks as far up as possible and to have 3 central midfielders. We can't have both wingbacks and wingers on the pitch at the same time. If we need to defend with more than 3 it should be the more defensive central midfielder who should drop down to central defence and one of the central defenders to be a fullback. This must be the best way to play at home against the teams at the bottom half of the table where we must dictate the game and play offensive football and will easily get the crowd behind and make it a very difficult away game for the other team.

Yeah, that was a good tackle! But it was almost the only good thing he did all game. Very poor passing and no determination. Seems so unsure what to do theese days. Right the opposite to what he use to play. His tecnic aren't the best, but he used to play it simple and after his strength. If he gets back to that he is a good player.

I think Ashley wants to sell the club. But the buyers thats been mentioned doesen't have the money required. Or just don't value the club as high and don't want to bid higher. If thats the case they will not be much better then Ashley(?). Just put up the cash or fuck off!
