Be prepared for some bollocks PR story tomorrow in the press

He could’ve let Keegan get on with it, made money and got great exposure for sports Direct and/or solid it to the Sheikh who eventually bought City but look how it all turned out. Beggars belief

Imagine if Rafa leaves and Tim Sherwood is brought in as manager .........................you heard it here first. Someone else has already mentioned that one to me, god forbid

What a complete moron Ferdinand is. We should be saying thank you should we? It was that cunts fault we went down in the first place ffs Just mind boggling drivel and he was getting animated spouting it. Clearly rattled by Humphreys comments because he knows they carry some weight

Never understood why he bothers

That leaked "letter" was ridiculous ? If you're going to do a deal, just do a deal ffs

If this window and lack of takeover pans out as it appears it is, I'm probably approaching the "I'm done" stage quicker than I thought. While Rafa is there I'll show some interest and support but it's now less likely that I'll attend matches second half of the season. The whole situation is so pointless I just can be bothered anymore. While it's definitely different I've got other sports I follow too. Real shame and a total disaster from Ashley. I won't be back after Rafa has gone until Ashley has gone.

This latest debacle is his crowning glory in my opinion. Actively shafting Rafa Benitez the best manager we could possibly hope for who isn't asking for millions whilst likely botching any takeover attempts due to his own greed and/or stringing everyone along. Furthermore there's every chance the club will sleep walk to its 3rd generation under his tenure due to the same age old fuck ups. Unbelievable and so utterly tragic

Even the fat cunt might start taking notice of the league table now

Sadly can't finish

100% this, it's just so boring. i'm not ready to give up hope until rafa has actually gone myself, once that's confirmed i'm taking the plug out of the socket Pulling the plug out is a great way of phrasing it?

Our defence is strong, Rondon will score the goals needed if he stays fit and Rafa has the experience needed. As Midds says above it’s all a bit pointless though really isn’t it.

Steve Howey saying something about he’s heard the prem league have been informed of a potential takeover and that there was an announcement originally planned prior to the Man Utd match.

The fans, the club, everyone needs it now. Can't go on like this

Excellent post Does amaze me that even though I understand fans find it nigh on impossible to stop going that they can't give up one match or even 11 minutes of one match to form something of a protest

Probably best to avoid that station unless you want to end up in a full on rage ?

What's the odds on him walking if they screw him this Jan? Would be still be liable to pay the club back because he's breaking the contract?

This is essentially the main issue and has been for years under Ashley. We aren't a true sporting institution because we don't strive to achieve anything.

Sports Direct United

4-0

Is anyone really that surprised? (Sadly)

Ridiculous dive but equally stupid to put his hand anywhere near Salah

Lascelles cock up?

Rotating players during the busy Xmas period with fixtures in mind where a result is more viable, who'd have thought.

January is going to be absolutely vital if only to give Rafa, players and fans a lift and early signings would really help with these tough fixtures coming up. No doubt the club will be utterly inept as always and assume everything is absolutely fine despite everyone knowing we're still teetering on the edge.
