Flooding that with some 'inventive' customer queries might be good

What kind of a mong follows Sports Direct on twitter anyway?

I'm with Rich (apart from the weird sex tip). Go for Charnley, Barnes and Bishop as well as FMA and his companies. Make their professional lives as difficult and uncomfortable as possible.

£3.5m was his release clause, right?

We should all buy SD shares, all of us turn up and ask him awkward questions. He might not respond but he’ll feel intimidated within his own company. Best thing is, if we all sold our shares afterwards at the same time then the value of the company will drop. You'd have to buy a lot of shares to noticeably affect the share price. Like, millions of pounds worth. Hundreds of billions even.

Follow them then post that half naked picture of Ashley

Bishop's tweets now protected

He's got some decent options for a song anyway. Stay Young by oasis, So Young by Suede.......

He'd be shit at that too. They'd just sit on his head trying to hatch him.

We have a sprinkler system? Wow, modern. Fair enough. First drill is to drag those hoses out to midfield. After the holes in the hoses have been gaffer taped. The holes in the hose are the sprinkler system, man.

lol, no chance. How have we got no money?

Didn't they say they're not selling him this window?

But if we sell the player the provision disappears but the loss on the P&L remains? Or does that get retroactively reduced too?

In Ashleys world...in reality it was WELL under 100 million. The 112.2m figure included promotion bonuses and "onerous contract provisions" payment to players not in the first team but still employed by the club. So wages are probably around 70-80m total as a base before any bonuses etc. There absolutely should be money available if this was a sane world. Well I don't believe that for a second. For one the 'onerous contract provisions' takes into account future years I believe. Also, theres no way our base wage bill is anywhere near 80m. This link suggests less then £50 million for the season after in the Prem: https://talksport.com/football/308730/every-premier-league-club-ranked-their-total-wage-bill-2016-17-171109261432/ Why would anyone give Ashley any benefit of doubt though really? https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/latest-news/accounts-year-ending-30-june-2017 I mean it was in their actual accounts filed so whether or not there was some funky accounting is irrelevant, it's the number out there. But if it accounted for future years then there should be even more left for this year etc. That's all. Anyone quoting over 100m is clearly taking a look at that figure and not realizing the caveats. Writing off the wages is purely an accounting action, we still have to pay the money whilst they are under contract so you really can take this into consideration for the actual wage bill. Having said that we will still have a disproportionately low wage bill for a premier league club simply as the players we buy at the fees we pay won't be on 150k a week and weve not made enough free transfers to suggest that the transfer kitty is being spent on higher wages rather than transfer fres So how do you enter their wages in the next years accounts?

Reckon Musk's submarine would definitely fit up there.

It's not going to happen. We're struggling to bring in Rafa's third choice striker from the championship who has a release clause ffs.

Every player we're linked with, man My guess is clueless journos.

That'd put us at pretty much zero net spend for the window so far. Quality.

Aye, good job Wullie, cheers

Can we not just start a top strikers thread or something?

Bet he'll be great in pre-season.

Like an anti-Bracewell or Venison, geordiedean has the honour of being thought of as a twat by both sides of the Tyne-Wear divide.

Oh, you actually seriously posted that as a rebuttal?

I haven't seen his goals tbf. The no penalties towards the golden boot should be a universal rule.
