£1 or £100000000

Horrible news, RIP

What even is the internet for if not talking a load of crap to be fair

To be fair the chron risks is credulity more going all in and then it's bollocks than if they preach caution and it turns out to be true

Possible plausible scenario - the Sheikh has got a bit ahead of himself in leak but Ashley knowing he can cancel the sale all the way up to the last signature wants it known there is significant interest to hurry along any competitive bids but doesn't want it seen as a done deal that would put them off, so he has told everyone to deny paperwork gone to FA and told FA they can't confirm they have received anything from him or something. FA could just be slow and unwilling to admit anything anyway

The news is Rafa leaving tho

Do you work in the theatre and was it the ghost of sheikspeare

Do people really want to move the fucking stadium? I realise there are insurmountable issues to expanding it to ridiculous hyper modern stadium standards, but is there a better placed stadium location from any club in the league? It's too symbolic and we should stay even if we can't expand to a ridiculous number of seats

Starts out just going to take a bit longer and then it'll be we'll get it done by next month, then it'll be end of transfer window etc etc

Fair enough but I wasn't being entirely serious

Aaah so it's Mansours idiot distant cousin who may have some money but is useless with it and likes to hang around with celebrities to make him feel more important than he is Sounds about right for us

Imagine the chron journos trying to research his status in dubai, ' we've just Googled and it's in the middle east '

Also again suspect they may underestimate Ashley's capacity for bullshit, may have assumed he is as good as his word and will sell but haven't yet read all the small print about sports direct advertising having to stay up for 2000 years and whatnot

This thread will get to another 1000 pages before he sells won't it

I suspect the person who leaked it is on Sheikh Khaleds side of it and is very confident because they have underestimated the ficklness of Ashley, so they leak it all confident and Ashley's side are like lolololol maybe

Probably nothing will come off it but what can we do but hope

Sorry Caulkin aint just going to quote stuff for clickbate, the proper journos don't put their name to total rumours (they just stick it under press association as author or whatever). Not saying it's happening at all, but clearly there is something in the story. Or Caulkin has dropped his standards.

Says the same as anywhere else. Cites the Sun article and "reports". Hmmm would Caulkin spread total bs though?

Ashley will last minute demand another £100m watch it

:lol:

It is shocking how few black managers there are and I'm not sure how you can't simply look at the number of black players compared to number of managers and conclude something is wrong, regardless of why, but anyway, it's sad to lose Hughton from the league but it can't be overlooked how poor they've been second half of the season. There are always many factors for slumps in form but it is always the easiest way to refresh things by changing manager.

Hmmm I suspect he will prefer signing a one year deal tbh so he can leave if the promised investment doesn't happen. The club will want to tie him down longer than hang him out to dry with usual lies about transfer budgets etc

This season it's no tjust that Liverpool and Man City have been really really good, all the other teams have been kinda shit. Spurs done pretty well in Europe but still in a kinda haphazard way
