Been told on good authority that NCC leadership had a conference call with one AS earlier this week, to revisit plans around investment in the city and surrounding areas as part of their overall plan. Just sharing.

I mean, England's history isn't exactly a morally clean one ffs...

Someone setting off fireworks near me as I was drifting off just now. Thought it meant something. Turns out it was just someone being a cunt.

From the FT

IF (big IF) this happens, not a chance a chancer like him remains.

Just struggling with time, other priorities etc. We'll be bringing it back for a few specials etc I hope, maybe a Xmas or NY edition. Think it just got a bit stale really and we need to freshen it up somehow. I should be back in the frame soon all being well. Had a tough 8 months with family shit so had to step away.

Not in the 25 squad. Good. Fucking prick.

Of course he would, Ashley still owns the club. Prospective owners aren’t going to be getting into an AGM unless it’s already changed hands, and it hasn’t.

Statement by NUFC tonight is my guess...confirming talks from our side. *speculation zero proof *

Comes in and allows Rafa to bring the training ground up to scratch and buy some players he wants, which in turn gets us competing in cups, higher end of the table, then he’s instantly better than Ashley. Not a difficult thing to do. That’s what’s always frustrated me about Ashley the most. He could do just the above...but he just doesn’t. As he’s a spiteful arsehole.

Was he given stick? If so, harsh. It was a mixture of both...and all in jest. Rounds of Mitro Mitro...followed by Sh*t Rondon. He didn't take it too well mind.

Zzzzzzz

I don’t. I want them to crash out and finish on a crippling low. Pot of money dwindles away and they’re stuck in obscurity for a long long time. Fucked.

Love someone to get at him today if he’s at SJP. It’s been brewing for a while and bound to happen at some stage. Hope the cunt gets set on fire.

You'll be able to get your seat back. Don't kid yourself you wont be able to. I gave mine up in August and haven't looked back. Genuinely miss catching up with mates on a match day, but I've lost 2 stone since giving up the match day booze and find myself enjoying my Saturdays much more without being depressed about the whole situation.

Think is...whilst its tacky as fuck...I'd forgive him using us as a vehicle for advertising SD if he invested in the club properly. I've always maintained this stance. The biggest frustration for me about him being custodian of our club is the fact that he 'could' make us compete, he just chooses to not to, and in turn damages it by neglecting it, running it on a shoestring and then treating it with contempt. All the while using it to advertise his tat shop. I hate seeing his face. I hate seeing his name. I long for the day I can get my season ticket back and rekindle my love for the club...however until the fucker has gone, I'll not be back or be bothered if we win, lose, draw - I will be ambivalent. It's an empty shell which leaves me feeling empty. I wish I could care, but I'm done until such time as he's no longer in charge. Be that us in League 1 Marra, sold, or into administration. I'd take anything to get rid of him.

#wait

He’s lucky nothing worse has happened in previous years tbh. If this was Italy (like above) the fucker would’ve been shot by now.

Know this is probably one for the rumour bullshit bollocks, but I was told last week that the person interested was Arthur Blank, and no not a piss take. He’s the Co-owner of Home Depot and the Atalanta Falcons. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Blank Anyway, most likely bollocks and more lies but just thought I’d share.

Sorry lads just seen this now in the new notifications thing. I retired from footy last year due to continual issues with my knees (basically being fat and old, they don't like being abused any more). Hope its a good turn out.

From what I can see most of the stuff in the article and that Matt Scott is saying is absolute crap. I'm not an accountant so I do not necessarily know the modelling of bank debt, but to say the debt was unsustainable due to it being 15.5% of turnover is just wrong. Debt is usually calculated by a bank of the relationship between debt and EBITDA/operating profit. I haven't done the sums, but from what I can see in the accounts in the 2000s, the EBITDA was easily high enough to support the debt. Simply, they wouldn't loan the money if they didn't expect it back. I'm no financial expert, but the interest to turnover ratio would not have sunk the club. Not in a million years. Just look at other clubs and their debts to banks...
