Lee Ryder and Caulkin will be the ones to watch this week.
As I understand, the new owners want to build a very good relationship with the Chronicle and so will want them to be the ones with the news first.
The Pochettino link is completely bullshit IMO - it'll be his agent putting his name out there and linking him to stupid amounts of money.
Rafa will be the manager if they take it over, no question in my mind.
Has losing 6-1 to Leyton Orient been mentioned?
Also, can't deny losing '6 in a row, FTM' was a complete embarrassment and indicative of the Ashley era.
That time we didn't sign Modric as Tony Jimenez thought he was too lightweight for the Premier League.
He went on to win the Ballon d'Or, the only player rather than Messi or Ronaldo to win it since 2007.
I think that is very high up in the rankings.
All to happen under the stewardship of Ashley:
Andy Carroll living with Kevin Nolan whilst on bail and then having his car set alight on Nolan's driveway.
Joey Barton in prison.
Andy Carroll breaking Steven Taylor's jaw.
Nile Ranger.
Rolando Aarons arrested for someone grinding his auntie.
Danny Guthrie's wedding.
