Lille asking £60m for Botman ?

"Sources also insist that there is unlikely to be a release clause in the deal should the club be relegated, but in return Trippier will not take a drop in salary should they fail to stay in the top-flight."

@ManDoon is a football scout.

That wasn’t a red. Wouldn’t even say a booking. Yellow at very most.

NUFC paid less for for Almiron than we did Owen. The fanfare of him being our record signing was a complete lie from Charnley & Co. He cost circa £16.5m. And when I say he I mean Owen. Almiron deal was sub that but would increase if certain targets met.

So if that’s the case who’s the other two on the pitch we are signing? ?

At a smaller club like Nottingham Forest for example I agree but not the biggest when you are constantly buying your competitors best players in the division. Liverpools old trick. Anyway different times. These days idiot fans would be wanting him sacked with 4 weeks never mind 4 years or whatever it was to win his first trophy.

Hard to judge him as great as he was for Aberdeen & Man Utd. Didn’t manage in any other big leagues. Easier to dominate a dressing room when you are at the biggest and richest club by far in the league. He certainly knew the right time to retire for his legacy. Thought his smartest trait was to rotate his main coach every few year.

We’ll revisit if the Watford game gets cancelled ?

Wouldn’t encourage this shithouse narrative. If it weren’t genuine then the game would be on simple.

Just need to finish above Burnley, Watford and Norwich. The only way is up…

Weirdly other than donating the money to WorFlags my other thought was put in a trust of sorts to cover stuff like this and games moved last minute for TV. Just as it stands it’s a tricky one to administer. There really needs to be more joined up thinking when it comes to away travel with all the authorities with arranged transport etc part of possible ticket package at subsidised prices. LNER increasing the purchase date for cheap Advances was a bit of a nightmare move for travelling fans.

Gotta feel a bit for the likes of @Onni Haikonenand his two mates travelling from Finland for our Man Utd match then we’re leaving for Liverpool this morning for the Everton game. Especially as he’s the Everton fan of the three of them. At least they got to see the Eagles lose last night before they departed for Goodison ? Save journey home @Onni Haikonen ???

Actually have no issues with anything that gives games atmosphere goal music aside. Growing up watching European football in the 80’s I miss the fog horns and cow bells etc. If I had my say I’d have loads fixed around the ground that couldn’t be removed but used throughout the game. Maybe something for NUST and WorFlags to sort going forward. One if not my favourite game of all time… ? ?

Bowen looks great every time I see him play. Another one we decided against signing ?

Fraser has a hamstring problem too.

Should’ve won it. Could’ve lost it. Take the point but felt like two dropped. Just.

Not sure you can say the majority but far too many that’s for certain. I didn’t vote for them. Never have and never will. Hopefully as Brexit reveals itself each day as the shit show half the country knew it would be it’s one less excuse that can be used so people finally wake up and smell the coffee. Again though it’s another example of almost willing hardship on people for them to realise what the actual problem is to do something about it. The answer is to undo Brexit but we won’t. The answer is fair taxation to redistribute the wealth to allow people to eat but we won’t. We’ll just let the poor and the working class setup and contribute to more and more food banks. Yep that’s the way we are heading. Certainly under this lot. If Scotland split we are fcuked for extremely long time under this lot.

Sadly more people going hungry will be the only way to wake the electorate up. Food banks are just covering up a massive societal issue. The way we are heading is just more and more food banks rather than getting closer to better government welfare. As well meaning as they are they are causing a bigger dependence on them. It’s perverse I know. Now we are at the stage when they are celebrated for want of a better word and people try to be associated with them like the NUST etc. I do assist with food banks and the delivery of emergency food parcels so not oblivious to help it brings to those in desperate need. It just shouldn’t be this way in a country as wealthy as ours. Anyway. Not really the thread for this.

I don’t agree with food banks TBH. There should be absolutely no need for them in 2021 and the fact there has been a rise in them and more dangerously an almost celebration of them sets dangerous precedent and cover ups the government need to force fair taxation in this country in particular the likes of Amazon etc. The sooner they end and it stares more people in the face what a shell of a society we have the sooner we’d hopefully have the right people in government solving the problem. The food bank seems to become the de facto charity amongst NUFC fans.

I know the money was promised to charity if scheme stopped but always thought the money would be better served given to Worflags. Imagine the whole ground adorned with banners etc.

No Lloyd Kelly rumours on here? Heard him mentioned in a podcast and sounds a prospect.

Any new transfer rumours?

Only saw first half and thought they played well. Certainly better than we did down there a few weeks ago. Guessing the second half was a very different story.
