  1. Qatar aren’t interested. It’s been about a year since Staveley left NUFC and was rumoured to be bringing the Qatari’s to you, and nothing has happened. Your Qatari links go back much further as well. Qatar also passed on Man Utd with that Jasim guy, who at best couldn’t prove proof of funds, and at worst couldn’t even prove that he existed. Liverpool were open to offers at the same time, and Chelsea have been up for sale in recent years. They even had the option to buy Leeds, and seemingly passed up on the opportunity. Qatar are happy with PSG. They were already buying soft power in Paris and France before they even bought PSG. They have their fingers in FIFA’s pie, and in European football authorities pie as well. Bein have invested in Ligue 1 rights, and they have won the right to host, and actually hosted the World Cup. In the last 2 weeks they have achieved their ultimate aim with PSG, that is until they build their new stadium and some sort of ESL comes along. On top of this both FIFA and UEFA are seemingly clamping down on multi-club ownerships, which would just complicate matters if they gave you an uplift. Who comes first for them? The Premier League club that’s cost them billions and has a much higher base revenue before you get to sponsorships, or the team they have spent the last 15 years turning into a global brand, singing up big sponsorship deals, and generally building them into a mega club? Qatar simply aren’t interested in you. Your best chance of such a takeover was when Levy had PIF round, and kept upping the price, ultimately leaving them there for Staveley to come along and bring them to us.
  2. Under 1,300 tickets now available, the vast majority being in level 7. Level 7 Leazes has not opened up, may all be reserved for Atlético.

    St James' Park

    We’ll end up hearing about the new club badge first I think.
  4. I don’t know how to describe it, but every Marseille shirt looks like a fake Marseille shirt. Something wrong about their home colours being white with the light blue trim, and not light blue with a white trim.
  5. Anyone who pays really. Wasn’t he outed as taking payments from people to stir shit?

    Nice of Nike to give Pickford a strip with a dinosaur skin pattern.

    Africa, Asia, and North America all have different stages to their qualifying process, where the weaker teams enter earlier on. South America doesn’t do it because of the lack of teams, and the vast majority of them don’t have such a vast difference in quality. Nations like Andorra hanging on for the first half an hour of a match and ultimately going down by a comfortable scoreline does nothing to help them. Lets them and the likes of San Marino etc all do an earlier qualifying phase.
  8. I’m not a fan either, the wolf has too many fine details.
  9. Shambolic. Shit like this was always going to happen after our takeover though.

    It just adds further to the argument that smaller nations for UEFA’s allocation should go through a pre-qualifying phase, like pretty much every other confederation does.
  11. He has the ability to bring the ball into the box via various methods, from crossing, cutting in on the inside, and also running it in. His work rate off the ball is exceptional, constantly pressing high up the pitch and tracking back when required. At the price he’s going for, I honestly think he’s a better option than going for Mbeumo or Elanga.
  12. No need to be arsey really. I was just responding to what others were saying about how Chelsea and other big teams get to take the piss out of PSR. The evidence is there that PSR isn’t designed to do what they say, evidence which many of us can see.
  13. Now explain why Man Utd’s debt to cover their owners buying them has increased since their takeover, not decreased.
  14. If PSR was supposed to prevent clubs from going to the wall, then teams like Man Utd and Spurs wouldn’t be allowed such large amounts of debt.

    João Pedro

    It’s Brighton. They will do a Crystal Palace on us, then sell him to Chelsea regardless.
  16. That one is shit. This one is better. https://www.drawsimulators.com
  17. 3 seats left in the Gallowgate/Milburn stand corner. East stand sold out, tickets only left in the Leazes corners, and level 7 now.
  18. Earlier in the week it was reported to be £4m, plus Brentford were holding out for a fortune for Frank.
  19. This is my opinion as well. We need to be ruthless, we only got rid of Ritchie and Dummett at the end of last season because we missed out on European football. Wilson is past it, he offers us nothing. He should be out of the door.
  20. The deadline was March 1st.
  21. It looks like Palace’s appeals for dispensation to be allowed into Europe has been rejected.
  22. DAZN paid $1bn for the TV rights, DAZN didn’t have $1bn, but PIF invested $1bn into DAZN. So yes.
