But still better than anyone on Bruce's transfer list I bet

And the other positive is that Ashley will be stuck with a club he doesn't want or will have to sell cheap. There's no one else out there willing to pay him over £300m for that club I'm sure. So the greedy fat bastard will suffer with us

I feel the same. Its arbitration or bust for me. I think the CAT case is more to do with Ashley getting compensation than forcing the takeover through and I can't see PIF hanging around forever I just need to find something to the void. I can honestly say I haven't put a penny into Ashley's pocket for 2 years now but I still love to club and the only connection I have with it now is this forum

Chances are though, those 5 years will be here

We're bottling this mind

That's harsh on a big cock

I've often thought if Rafa had of stayed on we wouldn't have signed ASM. Don't think he's Rafa's type of player

So which one was the wanker?

They've got to have some timescale where they say enough is enough. A lot of time and effort is going into this aswell as money and they don't seem to be getting any further forward. I think the arbitration is the endgame tbh. The CAT thing is more about Ashley getting compensation in my opinion

I think we're going to see the transfer window slam shut without anything happening so I don't hold up much hope of us being clear of the relegation zone before it opens again

?

Pathetic that you keep spouting the same shit aswell

How can they offer arbitration if they didn't reject it? I don't get this at all

Very Mackem like to put a "we know where you live" banner outside the wrong house mind ?

Yeah. Stuck in limbo. It'll be another season of struggle if this doesn't get sorted soon

Yeah l can't believe how once upon a time I couldn't miss a match, and that was any match. Now I struggle to get excited for any. I think since Rafa left I've just given up. I know deep down I'm never going to see us competing in the Premiership and that's just reflecting on any other football. The last world Cup was the last time I think I got a bit excited. Since then I've hardly watched any football and I'm not even too fussed on the Scotland match later

Could stick one of the bins on instead of shelvey though and best of both worlds

It's funny all these reporters and pundits bigging up Bruce constantly but he's never mentioned or even in the betting when a half decent job comes up. Tells you everything you need to know about Bruce. He's shit and the world are all on some kind if wierd wind-up

Wasn't he just temporary anyway though? Plus the Everton fans would still hate Rafa more than him

I'm thinking this also. Can't imagine the Everton board really wanting a manager that the fans are so against. It's just extra pressure from day one to get results

Rafa will have to hit the ground running if he's to be successful there. He's got the fans on his back from day one and the media never seem to give him any credit for owt. You could guarantee if Rafa is 10 points clear of Bruce by Christmas he'll still get pelters while they tongue bruce's arse

I wouldn't go that far mind. There's plenty other decent managers out there. I was pretty sure Rafa was waiting for the takeover to happen aswell but I think it's what Rafa has been looking for.

Bit gutted if Rafa goes to Everton but tbh it's exactly what he's been looking for. The owners will back him and it's already a half decent squad to build on.

Fancy leaving us hanging like that lol

But the whole point of creating the positive thread was because this thread was getting totally negative. This tread isn't isn't just for negative posts. It's for any. Why do people keep telling manorpark to post in his own thread. He can still post positive stuff here
