Lucky as fuck there. Theme of the season.

Norwich with something like 100 more passes than us in the match so far.

This.

Hadn't even realised it was deadline day. That's how much the club has sucked the joy out of me

Seen Norman Riley from True Faith has done a BBC interview saying "A lot of Saudi government policy, I find abhorrent, so if the deal goes through I will have to re-assess my relationship with the club, absolutely no doubt about it." I really cannot get the mindset where you'll support the club with Ashley in charge for so long, and then re-assess with new owners. If reprehensible owners were an issue surely Ashley would have turned you away already? People like the above will continue to go to the games, and get their name in fanzines etc, as it's not about morals for him, it's about selfishness.

So according to the press they have the money to buy and say its "90%" done, just waiting for an answer from Ashley pretty much. The transfer window shuts soon, Ashley's been on holiday. I wonder...could it be that the fat cunt has gone away and is completely ignoring an offer? Hence the leak, as time is running out for any new owners to be able to make transfers. He has history of this shit.

As opposed to your complete bullshit speculation? How are you even still here ffs

Ideally by the summer we have new owners. Nothing else matters.

"might scare the new buyers off of there's chants mate" It's funny, but it's also fucking unbelievably tragic that a fans group actually got told that and more so that they believed it.

I've got 10 pound coins here, I want to sell them for £20. Do I really want to sell them? No. That's Ashley with this club. Edit: well actually I would want to sell them for that. but in effect it means I'm not looking to sell. What I mean is the fact he'd sell for well above what something is worth doesn't equal wanting to sell.

I believe its simply - The club isn't for sale and never was. Said that as far back as Barry Moat but am on the record of going with that one through the last number of fakeovers. Not being for sale doesn't stop interested parties contacting him. It really is the only logical explanation for all of this. Everything else feels like a stretch for a reason. It never steered anybody wrong yet. Even if one day that's wrong it will still be 50-1. He likes playing people also, Keegan, Shearer, Rafa etc. I believe some have actually tried to buy the club from him (Staveley), some have been pure bullshit (Kenyon and BZG with their love letters to Ashley before disappearing being fairly obvious jokes).

Good luck Hatem. I've got more time for this brilliant beauty than for NUFC nowadays.

What I find the strangest is that billionaire's keep being stupid enough to believe Ashley is actually looking to sell. Surely they have an iota of intelligence? Surely they might, you know, contact previous 'failed bidders' and ask them what the craic is? But nope, just an endless procession of fools failing to get Ashley to sell. Doesn't really add up in the slightest.

Bingo. Fucking groundhog day.

I agree with you. A whole fresh new start from top to bottom. Why? Who would you prefer? I've been thinking this as well. Love Rafa as a person and his comitment and passion. But last time he was here we didn't play the most attractive football. He is very defence minded. I would like to see Pochettino. Did a great job at Tottenham and really built a good team. Broke the dominance of "the top 4". Would be pleased with Rafa, but Pochettino would be my first choice. He had 5 pence to spend on transfers FFS! He also fought for us and for the best for the club. Some fans have ridiculously short memories.

Sorry but the last one never looked like going through. People wanted it to be true so badly they lost sight of reality.

Aye I know you're position I believe there was genuine interest from the others, and I also believe this will go the same way. We're destined to have this cunt in charge until he keels our. I just believe theres been some genuine interest, some bullshit fake interest also. I do agree we're destined to be stuck with this cunt for ever though.

It's bullshit isn't it, he's probably happy as anything right now. It's just like the line that keeps getting trotted out that "he wants to know new owners can take the club forward". His actions have clearly shown he would liquidate the club if it would make him a few quid. Anyone or anywhere that actually uses that line can be discounted from credibility surely.

I agree with you. A whole fresh new start from top to bottom. Why? Who would you prefer?

How the fuck does Ashley saying something make it true? I don't even know where to start with the rest of that. Think it was quite obviously true that there was interest like, much the same as I've got no doubt there's interest now, and most of the other times it comes out. It just doesn't pan out how we want in the end, which is where this is going. Interest... Offer.... Fucked off. Rinse and repeat. Theres been interest at some stage. I don't for a second believe Kenyon and BZG with their love letters to Ashley.

Yep, Gayle would be in the right positions to score where Joelinton isn't. He might need 10 chances to score a tap in, but he'd have more than 2 by now without a doubt.
