Bishops Finger

Sorry but this is sick mate. I'd hate to see anyone go to jail for running that cunt over?

They must have done the survey in an old people's home about an hour after medication to come up with that tosh

This is exactly how I feel. Why should I care for a club whose owner has gone awol and couldn't give a flying shit about us, infact the only feelings he does have is probably hate. Then there's the absolute joke of a manager who claims to be one of us, bullshit, he needs to fuck off back to Manchester (which he has every intention of anyway when he's taken us for as much money as possible) and never show his ugly mug here again. Then there's the pundits with their 'I don't know what the fans expect' bullshit. As if we've spent most of our existence in the second division. I honestly can't find a reason to support this club anymore and I'll be dammed if I put another penny into the club while that fat bastard is taking as much as possible out before he eventually fucks off. Which will probably be no time soon

Just a shame the hoards still going to St James's Park don't have the same attitude

And me

At least they can say they're emulating a Premier League club without exaggerating

I think they're just blatantly taking the piss now like. And they'll still fill the stadium. 'Get behind the team' bollocks

At last. Someone who gets it!

I'm sure we'll know soon enough if it falls through. I think Amanda Staveley won't keep us hanging. And Ashley will spit his dummy out all over Sky Sports News. Until then there's still a little hope. About 5% in my case mind

Ashley probably thought he was doing Bruce a favour and the Saudis would be the ones who had to pay it. Now Ashley's stuck with him and can't afford to sack him. It's completely unfair that Ashley has obviously washed his hands with the club and thats what the PL are supposed to protect us from. For us now it's shit or bust if the takeover goes through or not. It's our only hope

Yeah definitely. Just needs someone with a backbone to do it

I totally agree with you, but like I say if they do publish anything against Ashley then they're just pushed aside and fed even less scraps. If they'd all stick together then Ashley would be the one who has to back down but it's live and let die in that industry tbh.

What they got to report tbf. Nothing ever happens at this club that's newsworthy and if they go against Ashley they get banned from the press conferences and nobody backs them up

Idiots will still read it and believe it though

What a utter heap of bollocks. Fans smiling ffs. What the very fuck have we got to smile about. And if we finish anywhere near 12th never mind better it I'll be astounded

And there lies the problem because there's no way Ashley is accepting anything less than 300m even though it's his fault for not investing. But looking at it from his point of view he had the club sold 2 years ago so why should he keep putting money into it. I can't see this ending well for us the fans

I think they just want to own a Premier League football club to be honest. If we're in the Premier league then we're the best option, but I think there are other options also

This is my biggest worry. A lot of people were saying they'd still buy but it's taken them over 2 years to even get the club (that's if they do) and then expected to spend another year in the Championship and still pay what Ashley is asking. I think that's asking a bit too much.

If I was ever stupid enough to go to another football match while this fuckwit is in charge it would be to hurl abuse at him, not to ask him to give me a wave. As long as we've got idiots like that supporting our club there's no hope. It's honestly astounding how dumb some people are

10 straight losses and then maybe, but it is just a 'maybe'

The middle one

Well most of us knew he was only jesting so there's the difference.

Don't think our medical team are that far advanced yet. Probably just bludgeoned it with a club or something

I think the Saudi's are the only party willing to pay what Ashley is asking. To be fair he's selling it for over double what he paid and he's sold all the assets. Hence making it worth less. The clubs worth no where near what he wants but the Saudi's obviously have more money than sense. That's what's so gutting about all of this, we've a chance to be competing against the best clubs in the world and a few little pricks at the PL don't want it for whatever reason. They're obviosly in someones pocket

I'm normally bad for it myself but wouldn't call anyone out on it haha. How sad it is when you need A Level in English to come on a forum
