Will be one of the first Ashleyisms to be peddled under a proper manager.

He's always said that they thought one was imminent but there was no timeframe, ergo there's no delay. You can't have a delay if you don't actually have a concrete date for something to be finished. That has always been his stance.

It's almost like it's a massively complex and detailed legal process involving multiple parties occuring during a totally unprecedented international health crisis. In that case why was it supposedly done and ready to announce this week then? I bet it's still going on in 2 weeks time which will show it was never close to been done this week Because things can change in a massively complex and detailed legal process involving multiple parties occurring during a totally unprecedented international health crisis?

Who uses the term "ass hats"? Anyway, what point have you been trying to make which people are slagging you off for? Not sure he's saying he has been slagged off mind. I kind of agree, there's been a few on here mention something they've heard, been slated and basically branded as Odin mkII I don't get it, if someone says something, take it with a pinch of salt, even if they're right, it means nowt until it's announced officially anyway. That's because almost every single one of these pieces of "info" are absolute bollocks and people are tired of it, tetchy, and bored of being fed lies from every single direction. You can't expect people not to get annoyed when another piece of ITK crap appears and turns out to be, yet again, a load of old horseshit.

An annual pre season away game in the south of France would be lovely.

Not sure delayed CRB checks would cause Caulkin/his source within Staveley's team to start talking about an "incredibly complex", "vastly complicated" issue that "wasn't anticipated". Wood for the trees, lads. Pretty sure Caulkin meant the whole process is "incredibly complex" and "vastly complicated" - not just that piece (if it is even a thing, I'm still not 100% sure what he meant by it).

He’s not saying there *is* an issue. Just presenting a few different options for what could be causing a delay. I think people are not reading that tweet with the context of what he was replying to.

What ”things” are going to be going slower? The Premier League and the rest of the footballing world are a wee bit distracted by the absolute clusterfuck of how they sort this season out. I can't say I'm surprised that things are a little slower than normal in the processing departments like.

It also few to Cannes at the weekend ?

Reuben’s out!

Having a pre season game away at Utrecht cancelled because Sunderland were playing in the Amsterdam tournament. That’s as small time as it gets.

Don’t think blackmail is a great idea, like.

Think he just has to press register and confirm his email address. He’s probably already on here anyway.

The big screen almost falling off the wall before the Leicester game.

Modric too small to make it in the Prem.

The Gallowgate puddle.

I’m going on the bander of all banders when this goes through. On my own. At home.

Someone just needs to forward that to Mandy and we’re sorted.

(1) if you’ve had a ticket for at least 3 of past 5 seasons, offered on loyalty points banding (2) members (3) general sale Is how I’d do it. Don’t see why those who got a freebie would be given any sort of priority.

Imagine having Rafa and Keegan together to sell the clubs vision to potential signings.

Good article in the athletic basically saying there’s not much in the owners and directors test for the takeover to worry about.

May be because a lot of the funds are coming from overseas.
