Signings are just one aspect of his role, the rest of the role is what is key here. The reality is for about a decade or so Lee Charnley ran this club, that's it. You had him and then a manager, with some recruitment people too. For me the structure and having joined up thinking is what I'm more interested in and excited about. That's what will transform us as a club.

We could sign prime Messi and Ronaldo and RTG will spin it as shit signings

Really happy with this impending appointment. We haven't been a normal club for so long so others might thing it's an odd reaction but it's class to see us being ran like a proper club I know some people wanted this to happen back in October but if the owners identified Ashworth as the key man and it meant waiting a few months then I'm glad they did that. Decisions such as this as well as the CEO are to build a platform for this club to benefit us for decades so it's better to take your time and get right than to panic and balls it up.

Salah doing a Ronaldo, pathetic

Terrible penalty that, advantage Senegal Mane to win it

Lush pen from Dieng that (we were linked with him too iirc)

It's strange the CB's are taking them early

I hate them, especially for a final, think it's an awful way to lose, thought not sure what the alternative is

Senegal to win, think Egypts luck will finally run out

Penalties it is, what a cruel way to lose

Thought Egypt were gonna nick it there, decent save from Mendy, followed by flapping from the resulting corner

Ben Arfa goes off, time to turn this crap off then

Ben Arfa instead of Fraser on the right would be an absolute delight

Hatem ?

That's the thing, it will all be forgotten about Remember when he himself at the start of the season said top 10 was his target and then when it was clear that wasn't going to happen his tune changed to survival is what this club is all about Yet his media pals didn't pick him up on his comments about top 10 and if it goes wrong at West Brom it will go the same way

Aye, it was featured in Sunderland Til I Die a fair bit, showed Methven to be the prick that he is

Won a penalty

Scored by a Geordie too, that'll add to it

Oh dear Ah well, Defoe will come on and score a couple

Draw, followed by Burnley win

I said at the time he would be a bad buy, he's not much better than Dubravka if at all Got no issues with replacing Dubravka as he has had a few poor moments but we should be looking to get a better level of keeper than Henderson

Mourinho sold him, I'm sure in the run up to that he had criticised his defensive work or something It is a shame because for a couple of years at Chelsea he was class

Keeping him away from the training ground, smart decision

Where are they getting this money from? I'm sure some financial wizard on rtg said our owners are actually broke and the takeover is not what it seems?

They have signed Alvarez who will be joining in the summer so Jesus could be behind him so it's not a bad shout
