Even the fucking manager is getting injured now

I've just seen it, he literally just jumps on the floor. Worra nob

Ashley can carry the vote himself can't he? He owns 61% of the company....

Fun for all the family this Christmas. Even fit some Jesus in there too.

No reason to not give Mbemba another go after his good game against West Ham. Was brilliant against West Ham. Injured apparently.

How many times has Shelvey been sent off as an NUFC player ? When was the last time Mitro was sent off ? Hardly regular is the answer, not saying that both aren't ticking time bombs but not that strongest argument there. Not the strongest counter either considering one is just finishing a suspension and the other is just starting one

Made me have a look at his wiki. He's managed 10 clubs in 10 years, now manager of Cyprus

It'd be harsh to drop Merino or Hayden for this one, I think Shelvey needs to sit on the bench for a while and think about what he's done. Make him earn his place back.

2:45am or 3:45am in China depending on the time of year. Will be similar for most Asian countries give or take an hour or two so I doubt it's for us. Would be around lunchtime in the US I think which is a bit of a shit time for them too. Could be aiming for the Saturday night pub crowd I suppose. Still fucking stupid.

Because footballers are generally thick as mince and the club lawyers would run rings around them. An agent will get you the best deal and knows the ins and outs of things like image rights.

Think the Zog is still in Seaham Hall according to them

So where did the £30m transfer profit and the parachute payment go?

What's the £33m for?

No. Before the window opened everyone had their own opinion but a common thread was that we needed a LB, #10 and GK. I think they were the positions most people thought that we needed to strengthen, maybe striker too, and we've completely failed in all of them. Merino is a great addition and I think Lejeune will turn out to be a shrewd purchase but the two of them are nowhere near the business we needed to do to make sure we had a competitive squad.

The others generally had something else to recommend them though. We're talking about his only supposed useful quality and it turns out he's shit at it.

Got a feeling he's the real deal. Seems to have both the talent and the attitude to succeed and the fact he was at such a big club prior to joining us speaks volumes about his ability.

I just hope this mess didn't affect him too much mentally. Seems like it'd be easy for his head to drop a bit after we apparently hoiked him around for a last minute deal.

It's his only good attribute and he's the fourth worst in the league at it.

Rafa is a world class manager whom we all want to keep, apart from you. For someone who goes to alot of games, you seem to know fuck all about football. World class? Makes you wonder why he's letting that cunt walk all over him. I admit I'm not a rabbit in the headlights when I think of Rafa managing NUFC. I think a chimp could have got that team promoted last season. Which chimp would you like to replace Rafa if you get his wish and he leaves? I'm assuming you've given it some thought. Gerry Francis, Lawrie Sanchez, Alan Curbishley. Wonder what David O'Leary's up to these days..... Or

Ban him. Oh.....

We did good things but even in signing Lejeune it was because he had a release clause. Had he not had a clause, no way would we have paid what he's worth. Merino is an excellent signing but we couldn't even afford to stump up 6m or whatever this summer. It's all very embarrassing. And it still took two months.

10 years of sponsorship at a successful club would run you £100m+ and wouldn't be far off what he paid for the whole shebang. That sponsorship money is also gone whereas he has reaped the benefits and now still has a valuable asset he can sell.

Although 'on message' in here, that seems a bleak take on it. Doubt Sports Direct needs the visibility and I doubt that is a key purpose for Mike Ashley. That's literally why he bought the club. Read what John Hall says about the deal.
