Are we just ignoring the fact that lindt, kinder and galaxy are far better than dairy milk? Heathens.

Need a sports - redirect type campaign against this.

Where does one find the ignore list? Asking for me. EDIT: Never mind

Aye... That all has to be factored in to the 50m as well. We all know its not just about funds with rafa as well, it's about the facilities and academy... Which i doubt the fat prick is willing to compromise on. They'll try to make it out as though he wanted more money or some shit.

I’m not sure it’s done like. He might leave it last minute and sign it, knowing if a takeover doesn’t happen then he’s not tied down long-term, and if it happens, he’ll likely get a new contract anyway if we’re doing well. I think the takeover is the reason they have only given him the offer of a one year contract in the first place. Obviously. 1 year extension suits everyone can easliy be extended as soon as the new owners arrive. Gives Rafa the option of leaving at the end of next season if the new owners don’t arrive. Hopefully he extends a year then decides on longterm next year based on if the new owners come in I'm with you on this one and this has been my opinion of the Rafa situation so far. It doesn't suit Rafa if new owners don't come in, he wants a project to build and that's not achieved with a 1 year extension. Why would he risk another year under the parasite on the small hope that he sells up? Again, I hope he doesn't sign up if Ashley stays, no point in yet another year in limbo. A season of watching us getting bummed every Saturday followed by some puppet talking shite isn't for me like. Ill be giving the whole thing a miss. I get how people would still go to games out of (of perhaps misplaced) loyalty, but how much enjoyment can anyone gain from going to matches, week in week out knowing you`ll be either playing for a draw or scraping for a win but most probably loosing. Me either, but the ground will still be full. I follow us by watching on TV every week and this forum, if the worst happens (which is kind of what I expect), I'll be trying to wash my hands of even doing that. I think we can already write off the idea of it being done before his contract is up like. If it does get done, I full expect it to take at least another month or so. Goes without saying that I'd be fucking ecstatic if it happens earlier

Went 1st option, also can't shake the feeling fatty will pull the rug....really hope option 2 doesn't happen.

Who at the sun is mentioning this 1 year thing? Bit intrigued with it being them who got the heads up about the takeover and now this, which looks like nothing more than an attempt to make Rafa look like he's asking for too much.

Previously thought 1 year extension would be a good option for him as it pretty much ensures he doesn't get fucked over too much, but I doubt it's something he'll fancy when it isn't going to be the project he wants. Just means the next season is another ambition-less exercise in staying up, not sure he'll bite. Hope he doesn't as it'll be just enough to keep the masses content. The fact they're only offering this just shows that even with Rafa, we are going to continue limping along doing the bare minimum. Fuck them.

I have Mike Ashley himself is in a skip outside the ground but apparently they do it every year for cleaning so I'm reading nowt into it Now there's a picture that would win the photo thread.

Seems pretty final then, he's gone if that's true Infuriating. The man's went and lay down his plan and what he thinks is needed to take the club forward, they've basically said 'we hear you Rafa, but no, take this or leave'. At least in the next month or so I'll know whether I can just completely ignore the club or continue to give a shit.

Is this a new development? Where's it from? Would imagine it still kind of goes against what he wants IE a project to build the club and its foundations.

I've got no doubt the ground will be full regardless of what happens over the summer. The usual few half-hearted nasty songs aimed at fatty every now and again maybe.

As if people don't already know ffs Why do you repeat the same question all the time?? This is the thing Between him, Sean and GE they seem to think they, and only they, have doubts/know Ashley is a cunt and need to educate everyone on the 'truth' of what's really going on. Getting a rise out of a lot of us so mission accomplished I suppose, as the only reason for the constant shit is trolling.

New challenge that he'd love imo. Especially with Spain.

'He's not there to pile in hundreds of millions' Thinly veiled jab at our completely deluded fans who should be thankful for uncle Mike and what he's done for us.

There's a few on here going all in on the (highly likely) scenario that the deal doesn't get completed, just so they can act like some kind of genius and come on here shouting 'I told you so!' "This takeover is definitely happening" said no one ever CDM/Sean "Everyone thinks it's definitely happening so I'm going to keep repeating the 'truth' that it isn't happening"

Shut up man truth hurts ey. I know I know You can't go on like that spouting bollocks for weeks on end and then when it turns out to be total s*** not expect to be called out on it He's been posting today. Hardly hiding. "truth hurts" ... what truth? Truth that there is no Takeover. Thought as much. Carry on.

You'd easily clock that up I reckon. Madness. I stopped buying them a while back but if that's what it costs to kit your kid up, I'm pretty gobsmacked. Just priced it. Kids top - £50 Kids shorts - £25 Socks - £8 Delivery from nufc.co.uk - £5 Totals £88, its £6 to add patches so if you do that then £94. Name and number is free on this but its usually at a cost isnt it? Adults is £20 on top of the above btw. Christ...it's the £50 for the kids top that sticks out to me Sure I used to pay less than that for an adults, and I'm not talking that long ago either. 2012 maybe when it changed to virgin money. Could be wrong I just don't remember paying over £50 for a toon top. That price just seems shocking to me. New shirt actually looks decent other than the sponsor. Quite like the black and white round collar and badge. Collar reminds me of the old brown ale shirt.

Sponsor looks awful. Lass at work says she ends up paying about a ton for the kit with a name etc for her kid? Fuckin disgusting if true.

There will be like. Mental bastards. 300 pages of pure aids

Been choking my chicken over this deal since late Sunday. *cooking Edit: class post for a NPW

Hopefully people keep on at it. Fuck him.
