Sir Toon

Going out on an early beer run.    There could be shortages if this takeover happens.

When is the #cans klaxon being sounded?

Its been on and off and on again........... although now off....  to be repeated tomorrow.

If we have ambitions of playing in Europe again then we’ll have to stick to the fair play rules of which I’m sure you’re only allowed a slight increase of wages per season.

Im gannin to bed soon and I know when i get up that this will be knocked on the heed. In the meanwhile, time to dream of being a normal club again.

The comparison between the Shearer exit is terrible.

 

Rafa has told the players that he will see them in pre season FFS.

 

I'd be concerned about the club's ability to keep any promises.

A moot point if he doesn't get a contract renewal, I may add.

Same script as the Summer of Shearer. Only difference being that come July 1st we should get some sort of message from Rafa.  Most likely that he's heard nowt and moves on with a heavy heart and hopes supporters get what they deserve..... etc etc.

 

It's not really the same though is it? Shearer was more or less completely blanked once the season had finished. Rafa is, it seems, actively in discussion with them.

True.  Completely spinning the mood it is nearly 3 years to the day (25th May 2016) since Rafa last renewed his deal, so there's time.

Amidst all the panic, maybe the hold up is Rafa still not getting offered what he wants, in fact there's no doubt that's it.  Rafa holds all the aces and still has 39 days left to play them.

As i said up the thread, we've worse problems than what a kit looks like but just like the monstrosity of that deckchair yellow away number, we do well in it and it'll become a cult classic.

 

Hopefully it doesn't look as bad worn.

Supposedly not a snidey one but just looks as bad IMO.

The kit is one of the least important problems there is at nufc at present.

Hopefully he hasn't signed any legal documents to stop him telling it like it is but with Keegan's court case win and his ESPN reveal, we all know the score anyway. Question is, how much longer is this shit going to go on for?

Wouldn't be surprised if we hear nowt until the end of June or anything at all because if Rafa doesn't sign a new deal then the default plan for Ashley's NUFC is to do nowt, say nowt and hope things sort themselves out.

One thing is certain, Ashley has never been interested in bettering the football club and wont start now.

He’s sitting with Ashley and a few others having breakfast right now in the Connaught Hotel in Chelsea.

Last supper would have been more apt.

Short memories. Just presume that Rafa's being strung along until a contract is signed.

Used this site before and the kits aren't too bad but I wonder if anyone has ordered next season's home top to see if it's legit?

Fucking hell. I cant unsee that...

It's almost like they do it because they know we bite.

It's absolutely this.

Probably just me but Almiron looks like Steve-O from Jackass

I wouldn't be surprised if Rafa wanted Chicicheeto or whatever he's called.

Photo of him getting off the chopper.

He may even be here now as Ashley's helicopter was in the area half an hour ago

Where does it say there's a diversion?  The flight I thought he was on is currently over Ireland and due to land at Heathrow in 40 minutes.   

 

If so then he should be up here early afternoon with an announcement tonight if no Ashley spanners arrive from anywhere.

There isn’t. He’s making a joke because Napoli were rumoured to be interested in him.

 

Fucking hell

 

Was a light hearted comment anyway but away from that, the flight landed at 7:35.
