Could probably do with a couple of games off tbh.

With you on this. Was fuckin stupid and I'd expect an opposition player to be sent off if it was on one of our players. He needs to get a grip.

Lovely ball off perez to manquillo to set up the goal. Gutted for his disallowed goal, he deserved it. Brilliant finish.

It is desperate, because we are desperate Agree it means fuck all, but no harm trying to put a bit positive spin on things is there. We need some kind of hope. I'm fucking desperate to be able to go to SJP again.

definitely a fake employer put there by ashley to like and unlike a story to drag us thick fans into his elaborate web of fake interest #dokko

He sat in her living room for an interview with her iirc. I would say the reason she hasn't come back is because Ashleys a piss taking cunt, and he also rejected 3 offers from her. Guessing it gets to a point where you realise you aren't going to get the deal you want.

Exactly. Amazing what some people believe.

She was serious, as is Kenyon. Means nowt like.

Aye, I'm sat here thinking 'nah, suns full of shit saying 200m' .... yet willing to believe the fuckin express Pure hope.

Wonder who will be in for us next year.

Must. Not. Hope.

Aye that would definitely be worth tmg's time and effort.

We haven't bid for anyone. All bollocks.

'late last night we got an update on almiron, which was that there is no concrete offer' So the update was that there's no update

At least another 2

I'm just clinging to the hope that he knows we're now at the most attractive we'll ever be under him (Rafa and Premier League), if he doesn't sell now, we lose both of those and bang goes his last chance of getting anywhere near what he wants for us. Pretty sure I thought similar this time last year Rafa is gone if Ashley is still here at the end of the season. I think the two of them both know they see the club as different entities in terms of what it is and what it could be. If Rafa goes, for Ashley to want to carry on his shite of spending minimally to get PL safety, he'd need to spend significantly on the playing staff as the twat brought in as manager will be some clueless cunt. If that happens, relegation will surely happen and no PL and no Rafa would equal a major drop in both value of the club and advertising for his horrid company. I think right now would be the time to sell in terms of maximising profit for the club, but you can never second guess that wanker. Yup...exactly this. At the risk of repeating what's been said billions of times in the past week, it's all on him to fuck it up, again. If the sale doesn't happen now, we'll be stuck with him for a long long time unless he suddenly decides to accept a low-ball offer...ha!

"Dear Lord, help the the team, because the success of our team, leads to the success and prosperity of our city" Explains a lot.

You also have to take into account that NUFC will be worth nowhere near his asking price should he cling on, lose Rafa and send us to another relegation. Surely even this cunt realises we're as attractive as we're ever going to be under his tenure (unless of course he invests a fuck load...ha).

Will he not see it as unsustainable for his vile model of spending as little as possible to stay in the league? The average net spend of PL clubs this year has been around £43m which he refuses to match. His refusal to match that whilst promoted clubs are spending that or more means relegation struggles which we would be dead and buried in if not for Rafa. Rafa is gone if Ashley remains. Is he not trying to get out at the maximum profit he can to focus on his shitty retail without having the bother of us going after his shite shop? It's the only real reason I can come to regarding him actually selling and not lying again. Based on the speculation and the mild optimism in the press, I do feel that he is trying to get a deal done to sell the club. He will only spend money on players if we have the money physically in our account, and will not speculate to accumulate. If he does speculate and say sanction deals for club record fees, then he is doing what he has never done for this club - pay going rate, pay in installments, structure deals like every other club does. Yep. From the people I've spoken to in the MG, they've been advised it's legit, like. It's not a case of there being no potential buyers it's whether Ashley is going to be a cunt and move the goalposts. That’s been the situation for the best part of a decade though... Quite a few think there are no buyers, that Kenyon et al are all in on some sort of Ashley conspiracy to fool the fans. Makes me laugh every time I see someone say similar. Actually believing Staveley was a time waster etc, it's almost like they haven't followed us under Ashley.

Fair point. I'm just wondering if he could have went back to it once it was obvious something had happened (which should have been when he noticed the head injury). Suppose it's all ifs and buts really. Makes more sense.

I was going to ask that too. It wouldn’t have been used on the elbow because the ref allowed play to continue. On the Yedlin red, it’s a matter of judgement. Even if VAR was used they could easily have agreed it was a red. Is that the rule? Genuine question. Once play did stop could he not have went back to it? The useless prick should have stopped play for the head injury anyway.

'double down on the protest' ... might have got nearly 1k taking part in it then. Regardless what they said, it was called off to save face imo. They knew it wasn't going to be any kind of success after the walk in and used this as their get out. No way they called it off on the strength of Ashleys bullshit.
