Saaay whaaaaa??! Im off to check the status of mine

I’d rather Pacqueta

They didn’t say that though. The 5 years thing. It was always something like 10 years/ long term. I think. Though I’m struggling to find direct quotes.

Did she say win the league in 5 years?? I thought it was challenge for it in 10 years

I think a lot of people have convinced themselves we’re the ‘richest club’ and are now astounded when we are not acting like it. The truth is we had no idea how the new owners we’re going to run it and the proof really is in the pudding i.e. how they act in the transfer windows. They said themselves it would be slow and steady and we wouldn’t be overpaying on deals but I don’t think some people have wanted to listen. The owners are literally delivering what they said they would. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love it if we spent more and got in some top quality statement signings but I really don’t think that is what they are about and I’m definitely happy enough with how they are doing it at the moment.

The one above the crest looks like Scott Parker to me

The only time Pardew showed any kind of dignity was if it made him look better or got him something. There was nothing real behind it, fella is a narcissist.

Maybe they just won’t sell and won’t buy. They could stick with what they’ve got. I certainly wouldn’t sell Barnes or Maddison if I were them. Who would they get who are definitely better?

They’re both cunts

Why do they have to sell at all though? Are they in financial trouble?? I’ve missed it if they are

Sorry to hear that mate. I was with my dad when he died from a horrible illness and it’s not something you forget.

How much would Maddison cost?

What a great interview. I’ve just watched the whole thing. Love this guy.

Yeah I really wouldn’t want to see him limited. Let him play the exact role he had last season.

I will hear nothing good said about Steve Bruce

He’s looking sharp in preseason from what I’ve seen

Yep, seems that way. He’s got loads of experience with the football establishment so this is where he’ll be helping us level up.

A great appointment. Someone who is used to dealing with the football establishment in this country and beyond. He’ll have the contacts and know the little tricks of the trade needed to get us in the right financial positions.

Not as good as when Giggs did it

I think it’s more of a whiff of blue drink and chicken dippers from them than likely to be Luke.

It definitely doesn’t seem to be the all guns blazing sportswashing vehicle many thought it would be when they first took over, with millions splashed out on statement signings in quick time. I always said this window would determine just what sort of owners they are looking to be. There’s still time left though for more signings yet and I’d much rather us build up slow and steady and in the right way for sustained success.

And 150m ish after Pope

Knew this would happen if your grand expectations of £150m being spent didn’t come off
