This is exactly why the national team is powderpuff. Nee fucker in the country knows anything about the damn sport.

Yup. We also have no idea if the decision to accept or reject a bid is entirely down to MA himself. I doubt he's doing the negotiations himself, and I wonder if he's making decisions himself or taking advice from his advisors.

I played 5-a-side regularly against a Swiss guy who made something like 5 professional appearances for Sion in his entire career. By this point he was 45 years old, overweight, and could still put the other 9 players to shame twice over. The touch, awareness and balance he had was on a totally different planet.

IMO the club is worth 300m. If he was offered 330m cash, he would be out the door faster than you can say No.

This 100%. It's the only thing that makes any sense, and they have every right to insert that clause to try and speed up the process. If Ashley wants to take his sweet ass time and allow January to pass without any investment, we could be in serious danger of going down.

This post misses the point by a good light year.

I see my only contribution to the thread has already been made. This PCP is the lady thats been at the matches, or someone new? She's the one who tried to buy yous out but FSG rejected.

Horrific refereeing by a pair of clowns.

Spot on, defeats the whole point of sport. Yup. It also shows that the manager is only out for himself to make sure he can always get another job when this gig goes south. "Look i can get results, me".

Why not? It's the reality. I don't imagine any of the players don't know this deep down. The idea is that if they stick together and believe in Rafa and his methods, they could do well as a collective.

Why would they? Who exactly is Rafa? Is he Fanny Pogba with a red mohawk? Is he THE ZLATAN? Is he a mumbling Portuguese genius? He's none of those.

This biscuit man? I thought he'd already ruled out any interest. Yes it's biscuit man. I told my cousin the same which is why he said he'd ask them again.

Well if we're all contributing with bits and pieces of what we've heard, I was told the following by my cousin, who is a personal friend of Murat Ulker: While having dinner with Murat and his entourage, I asked about NUFC, and their reply was "we're going for it". I've since asked my cousin to try to get more info.

hanhanhanhan good one

The only reason this needs to hurry the fuck up is because we need players in January to abate the danger of going down. We could be taking an unnecessary risk - again - if we don't bring in what we need. Otherwise the takeover can take its sweet time as long as it gets done right eventually.

Lad who has lived in Dubai for about 5 years, used to be on the supporters committee. Good lad, generally clued up, he's been banging the NUFC drum over there for years. For aeons basically

I wouldn't be at all surprised if there were other interested parties, besides PCP.

One of the biggest myths going. If anything, he tries hard to hide during games and is very good at it.

I really really hope it isn't the Saudis ffs

Switched this off at HT to spend some quality FIFA pro clubs time. Seems it was a good decision now. Burnley are a glorified pub side and their manager is a glorified pub owner.

George Boyd? He's at Sheffield Wednesday now. Well thank fuck for that

Will be an awful match. Only goal scored by that guy who looks like Samaras who always seems to score against us and never seems to retire.

That was a clean tackle. All ball.
