  1. 3 of them still exist, just been bought by different companies.
  2. Jordan has a lot of canny views to be honest. I disagree with him in some subjects, such as when he has an employer preferred views on employments matters or when he wants to totally distance away from minority issues. I also disagree with him on his Ashley views, but in general he’s spot on.
  3. 02-03 was my favourite. It was the 1st shirt I got, but also it was a good spell for our club at the time. We beat Juventus at home in it, Juventus went onto to the Champions League final that year and only lost on penalties.
  4. Aye, only true because the finance we had was due immediately instead of the original end date in the event of the club being sold. If he doesn’t buy them then hopefully they’ll still move to a new stadium because he’ll fuck them. Without the football club he’s got a stadium sitting doing fuck all, a bit like that stadium in Darlington that now hosts non-league rugby. It will just lose him money, especially if he doesn’t bring sponsorships when they end. I can’t even see him being able to bring in artists for a concert with Birmingham on the doorstep. Apparently Coventry’s new owners offered to buy it for £25m just before Ashley bought it for £17m, so hopefully for their sake the cunt sells up to them immediately. As we all know though he’s put in place loads of contracts tying him to the stadium.

    If their pitch is too short then you wonder why they haven’t corrected that when they started redeveloping the Anfield Road end which they are currently doing.
  6. It was fucking shit, and if I remember one of the 1st to have that awful blank patch on the back.
  7. Adidas were shit for us after SBR left.

    A lad I went to uni with is all ‘Football sold it’s soul, it’s not the same anymore, it shouldn’t be allowed etc’. Strange because I can’t recall him saying the same about Man City or PSG until our takeover went through. Another said it probably shouldn’t be allowed and a change of government would sanction Saudi Arabia in anyway, but hasn’t mention it.

    There is no meltdown though. I’m not seeing a meltdown on Twitter, the only place you are seeing it is on RTG where they have painted themselves into a corner. Some of them are saying it’s not the same, some of them are doubling down. A lad a went to uni with who is a season ticket holder for them has not even addressed it within our group chat. Had they not kicked off about our ownership they would all be asking if it will be shown somewhere so they can grab a stream for it. Also, their ownership would have known that they would face a backlash, it will be accounted for that some of them will make a fuss on RTG and possibly social media. I guess their ownership doesn’t give a fuck about what they think.

    Pretty sure they are one of the biggest if not the biggest club in Saudi Arabia as well.
  11. Could also potentially see them as a partner for our friendlies in Saudi Arabia, as our current sponsors won’t be allowed.

    Yeah they do, but UEFA are fucking about with this one. It’s expected that we’ll win this, and Turkey will be given the following one.

    Out of that list the London Stadium, Croke Park, and 2 out of SJP, SOL, Etihad, and Old Trafford will go. The only way the SOL makes it over us is if SJP is undergoing major renovations at the time, and the same for the Etihad for Old Trafford.
  14. Maybe, just maybe it’s because they are the official supporters trust and FSA registered? Surely there is some sort of FA/FSA requirement that a member of the trust has to attend away games?

    It’s not a complete list yet, it will go down to 10 stadiums. It will be 1 of us or them, not both.

    The new Everton stadium will probably have better facilities than Anfield, despite Anfield's bigger size. They peobsbly already have a lot stadiums well above the minimum capacity, so will need somewhere for lesser games and at 50k Everton’s stadium, Sunderland’s, and ours (as it stands) will be ideal for them. As for Hillsborough, there is not a lot of available land around the stadium, which I think is now a requirement for these tournaments. I can’t say anything on Elland Road as I’ve never been. Arsenal won’t get it because London already has 3 venues’ which is possibly 1 more than they should. For us, this means that if the owners are wanting to upgrade our stadium soon, then they are going to have to get a start soon. We only 4 and a half years to go, and I doubt they will want to be cutting it close for us hosting. Planning along could take us over a year.
  17. You guys should check out the Running Fox.

    Really? Fucking hell I thought he was there for something like 9-12 months. They really did bring him in for the manager bounce against us didn’t they?
