  1. This transfer window finally looks set like one to re-Demba.

    Like Dave says it wouldn't be easier to ignore and put down as manager speak if we'd put up an iota of fight or flair in these cup competitions; as it stands we've lost out on several occassions with the negative press, negative football and negative impact all having a correlation. Pretty justified.

    Here's to that, all things considered.
  4. Why has he never called the seniors out on being shit every single week for a year then? It's always "gave a fantastic account of ourselves, Shola was brilliant etc etc", why are the youngsters fair game? They're just an easy target for a cowardly man. Aye. Let's not pretend he's got the progress of youth at the club as his primary concern with those comments. Many of us called the results 100% in those games where he threw the young'uns and frankly I wouldn't put any faith in his ability get players of any wage/age bracket to perform. The guy is slime.
  5. Ba? Bah! Back cheap. Have we any pull?
  6. Wish he'd conduct himself like that more often; rather than spouting shite and outright lies. Soundds like he's getting frustrated mind.
  7. It's not like they are an external sponsor either. He is getting free publicity for his wideboy brand; and even had the fucking cheek to try the same in renaming the stadium and telling us that it will make us money. Which unbelievably some people swallowed along with accepting any other liberty they've taken.
  8. Absolutely mental selling anyone (I'm assuming Cabaye is a goner) this window without at least another two players to strengthen. Let alone one of our few outlets of pace and technical ability; whatever degree you believe those qualities to be.

  10. He nailed the chosen to a cross before he did one tho. Apparently. Well there is defintiely more blood to be shed before the end. We in a war of attrition. 35k season ticket sales say he is winning. Well quite. We're at the destruction of Alderaan rather than the deathstar trench.

  12. I think he wants an exit though in all honesty. Pontious Pilate style.
  13. The club's not worth 300m. Huh? My point is this: why would a company with 100 million in debt and posting yearly losses be MORE valuable to a prospective buyer than one (same assets) with no debts and posting a 20 million or so yearly profit? Can see your point but I think the key to this is that it has always been assumed that Ashley would aim at least to get back what he had spent on the club. So say he spent £140 million buying it and then put another £110 in as loan, he's out of pocket by £250 million. So if he's selling the club then the assumption is he's want that sum (at least) for the club to cover his costs. On the other hand if he ever manages to recover all of the debt out of the clubs cash flows then he would only be out of pocket by £140 million. So if he sold the club at that point for say £200 million he's made a £60 million profit overall. And potentially therefore the asking price for the club could be less without the debt. I don't know if that helps... He could, say in 5 years have the debt cleared by running us on the bare minimum...Once its all paid off, why sell? Could be a nice little earner and free sponsorship for his flagship company. The club (business) has paid for itself and is now passing profit his way without having to do much. The next TV deal will only get bigger imho...BT are going to push sky and with the economy slowly picking up it could be a good earner for Ashley. He could be here 20 years or more. http://i.imgur.com/TZ9uB.gif
  14. He would be closer to Mecca. Bingo, right on the money. http://static4.fjcdn.com/thumbnails/comments/OH+YOU+GAIZ+_602afe58a01183f184bf0e9d4ddfff9c.gif O YOU GAIZ STAHP
