If this does go ahead then I'm not quite sure what their thinking or strategy is, If the clubs ever meet (I know we are a long way from Europe) then what happens?
-
I just don't see the logic in keeping him, it just adds unnecessary negativity If we go a goal behind then he'll get dogs abuse If we somehow win then what? He stays on, for how much longer as we know he's shite Get rid and we can all move on

Mark Douglas said it's David Bick, one of her advisers

I was sure this discussion was had last year and my sentiment is the same as I posted 18 months ago "This isn't a black and white issue, we are dealing with each persons morals and those are times subjective to a certain extent. I think we can all agree we want Mike Ashley gone and therefore him leaving will be a massive relief and a joyous occasion, it's been so long since we have been a proper club, and by that I simply mean a club trying to be better tomorrow than it is today. We've been a zombie club with brief moments of joy but by and large it's been absolute misery. In terms of the potential new owners, I think it's possible to recognise their issues but still want to support the club. I personally want this takeover to go through and i'll buy a season ticket if they are available, I miss going to the football. The issues with the new owners don't bother me enough to not want to go to the football or support my team. If however they were exactly like Ashley when it came to running the club then I would stop going but my issue with them would be the football and not other things. Having said that if the Israeli government were buying us my stance would change, does that make me selective in my morals? Aye I suppose it does. Does it make me a hypocrite? Again I suppose it does. If we are all honest with ourselves there is an element in hypocrisy in how we perceive things. Certain issues will bother people more than others. That's just reality. It's neither right or wrong, it just is. What does concern me is the section of our fans (admittedly this could just be a minority) that have suddenly become experts in the middle east and are defending everything, we've seen today our fans attacking Hatice Cengiz (fiancee of Khashoggi) on twitter, calling her a "slappa" and telling her to "fuck off". I've seen the Saudis defend and be in denial about what happened to Khashoggi, I expect nothing less from them but that's not something we should be doing. It's disgraceful and I'm comfortable in saying that is wrong. We can be happy our club is a club again without become cheer leaders. When it comes to certain sections of the media (Keys, Delaney etc) then ideally we would ignore them but I understand that's easier said than done so I've no issues when we challenge them but we shouldn't go after Amnesty/Hatice etc, it's embarrassing. I understand overall people will be conflicted, if people feel so strongly about the issues that they will no longer follow the club then we should respect that. If they feel strongly about the issues but still want to follow the club we should respect that. If they aren't bothered by the issues then we should respect that (as long as they don't go attacking people that have legitimate grievances)."

And it was almost 2 decades ago

Becoming Human Rights experts and claiming the moral high ground is just another one of their coping mechanisms They did it as they tumbled down the league and now they are having to do it all over again knowing we are finally rid of Ashley, that's what their hopes rested on, him staying as owner forever

29.2% here That 37.6% includes The Championship as well, which makes it even more shocking
-
Yeah, apparently wasn't in charge for the first game at Birmingham
-
I suspect anyone doing that isn't the type of person reading articles
-
I'm sure one of he dildo twins said he would only sell to Saudi Arabia or such like Plus before they look at our takeover maybe we should all push to see how West Ham benefitted from the Stadium deal, I'm sure that was pretty dodgy
-
I hate it when fans of other clubs try to tell us that Ashley did a good job, it's just baffling However I know a few Derby fans and in their situation I totally understand why they want him, they are in a mess and if someone can come in, cover the losses (by way of a loan) they'll be delighted, the opposite of us it gives them some hope (which he'll crush later down the line) Plus Pride Park being renamed as Flannels Fields won't cause an uproar as it has little to no historic importance
-
Don't know about murders but he's funded illegal Israeli settlements, so this idea that he's okay and it's now that the line has been crossed is nonsensical Football lost it's soul a long time ago
-
Did I imagine it or was Rafa instrumental in getting Staveley to look at us? Or was it something more simple as she was just a guest of his at the game?
-
Imagine Keegan as half time guest? The place will erupt
-
He gets grief cos he talks shit The "call" from the club was ridiculous and shows how genuine he was and then even recently he said it's over and other parties are interested Anyhow, we have the takeover we wanted, it's a happy time, if people want to take credit then they can crack on
-
Hughes was already there, Mancini, Pellegrini and then Pep is how it went I think
-
Can't believe yesterday was real, still absolutely buzzing. 13 years we've waited for this moment, 13 long and torturous years. Now we have hope, what a feeling.

Where is this word?

Same, announce it so we can lose it

Nowt like getting ahead of ourselves -
I think last season they benefited from Liverpool having the season they had, Chelsea struggling with Lampard and Ole being Ole So no serious competition from Feb onwards meant they coasted without any real pressure I do think lack of striker will ultimately hurt them come the end of the season

What a goal
