This is totally me as well. I'm literally clinging onto that bit hope that this whole thing gets sorted, it's a last resort for me. I dont watch football hardly anymore because of what has happened to us with this takeover. I watch us out of habit but just cannot be arsed to watch anything else. If it does eventually all go tits up, that is me out. What on earth is the point in supporting a team in a league where you're not allowed to compete with the big lads. In fact you are stopped from doing so. That's not football.

Good point...

Hmm....

As negative as ever I see.

Once again, hats off to these guys.

Read somewhere yesterday that the december deadline doesn't stand anymore. So, I'll leave it on my santa list.

Any attacking player with half a brain would want to leave us. Who the fuck wants to play under Steve 30% possession Bruce?

No they couldn’t, but they couldn’t for various other reasons as well. Bit of a pointless exercise by the Chronicle then, but at least they'll get a few clicks.

Could they really release that sort of Information if the process is still classed as ongoing or whilst legal proceedings are ongoing? I could be wrong but I dont think they could or would.

I've never had cans in the fridge that long. I'm disappointed in you.

Cheers Mimms. One question. Kennedy and yourself have both mentioned time limits on this whole deal being key. That being the case, when (month) would you start and fear this deal might not be happening?

Hopefully it is significant and these corrupt bastards shit their pants if/when a court date is given.

Your probably right but not sure that will do them any favours after asking for more time. Exactly. In a way, I'm quite pleased the fans consortium gave the premier league more time. It looks better for us that way and worse for them if they still try to delay.

They absolutely hate Parkinson like.

Lost!

50/50 as in the deal itself is 50/50? No, 50/50 as in whether to provide certain information which won’t necessarily have an impact on anything (yet) or to keep quiet for a few more weeks. So i take it you'll be taking up the option of keeping quiet for a few more weeks in regards to what you know?

50/50 as in the deal itself is 50/50? No, 50/50 as in whether to provide certain information which won’t necessarily have an impact on anything (yet) or to keep quiet for a few more weeks. I see. I thought oh god, 50/50 isn't really what I want to hear Cheers for the info Mimms.

50/50 as in the deal itself is 50/50?

Aye completely absurd to go after Pochettino to replace Steve Bruce. What a silly idea man.

Thought this post would have created more of a frenzy. This lad doesn’t get a team selection wrong does he ? I think it's just indicative of how lethargic everyone is about the whole thing. I'm not sure many people have the energy left to get excited about rumours. People are just sick of hearing things that could mean something only for it to end up meaning absolutely nothing. 7 months of that and now people hardly take any notice.

Is that an inkling or something you've heard?

This is the bit that pissed me off the most. Peter: No - I want to see us play positive, exciting football. I'd love to finish in the top six but Steve Bruce will never achieve that. Chris Sutton: You think you would have with Rafa Benitez? Peter: If Rafa Benitez had had the backing that Steve Bruce has had, then yes I do. Chris Sutton: Oh don't be ridiculous. What sort of answer is that like? How on earth is it ridiculous to suggest that Rafa could take us higher up the table than he did, possibly top 6, if he'd had the backing Bruce has had? Look at Leicester, Wolves, Sheff Utd (last season). Why is it so ridiculous to suggest Rafa could challenge for top 6 with decent backing. It's as if pundits are saying "shut up and know your place". And if Sutton was talking about exciting positive football rather than finishing top 6, then the same arguement applies. Rafa has this myth that follows him that he plays shite football. Yes, we did at times but that was solely because of the tools he had at his disposal. I'm sure I seen some stats on here from his times at Liverpool, Real Madrid, Valencia and Napoli that totally disproved this arguement that he plays negative football. So why couldn't he have done it here if he had the backing Bruce has had.

Reading that sounds like it's at least 2 years away.

Just sums up the difference between a class manager in Rafa and the fucking clueless dinosaur that we have now in Bruce. Lets not forget here though, we can hammer Bruce as much as we want, but the bottom line is Mike Ashley decided to employ this fucking idiot. He was the one that made Rafa walk away and then thought employing Steve Bruce was a good idea. Once again, the buck stops with Ashley. We could have got rid of Ashley if the PL officials hadn't decided looking after Liverpool and Man U's interests were paramount. So the buck stops with them far as I'm concerned. That's a good point as well.
