  1. Good for Viera for giving kicking the little spiv. Not a fan of pitch invasions when fans behave like disrespectful arseholes. That headbutt on Sharp a prime example that has the potential to cause very serious injury. Clubs should do more to stop it before they put barriers back up. 

  2. 100K Rangers fans in Seville last night, and only 1 arrest, a Frankfurt fan who assaulted a police officer is what I read this morning on the BBC I think it was. Hardly conforms to the stereotype of Union flag waving hooligans so many are so quick to bash them for.

    It just doesn't add up to the project they've sold players like Bruno and the statements made when they first took over. They are loaded beyond belief and want us to challenge and take us to the top. We are spending big.

    Aye. Bruno has said several times he was sold on their vision to ultimately challenge the Champions League places, and even next season to challenge the top half, push for Europa League places. You can’t do that on a shoestring budget.
    I agree with taking a measured approach, and not spending silly money though. If they’ve sold the likes of Bruno whoppers then he’ll soon want to move. 
    I think it’ll be a sensible, pragmatic approach, and we won’t be doing it all in one summer window. Hopefully, this is what Howe means whilst also playing down selling clubs expectations on fees.

    No one would boycott apart from a few utter die-hards. Yes there'd be a lot of noise, complaints, hand wringing and maybe some half hearted protests but if we were sitting in or around the CL places it would would very quickly be forgiven (if not forgotten).

     

    If they did try to change it (which they won't anyway) it'll be a gradual thing like how Barcelona slowly gave in to their 'no shirt sponsor' thing where they allowed Unicef to have it for free for a few years, then took the money from Rakuten/Spotify. Probably introduce more colour season by season, some trim here, a collar there, narrowing the black stripes till there almost gone....etc etc.

    Nonsense.

  5. Got to say, they all need thanking a great deal for the job they’ve done in stabilising us. They appointed the correct manager at the right time which was vital in keeping us up. The 100 mill on signings definitely helped but the single biggest factor was Howe. For me anyway.
     

    Staveley & Mehrdad in particular should be giving themselves a hearty pay on the back for the job they’ve done also.

    I really can’t see Saudi Golf being on the front of a football top though. Especially if rumours are to be believed that Majid is joining our board of directors. 

    Aye. It’s just I’d read (I think it was from the Athletic a while back), something saying it’s more likely to be related to the sports, leisure and tourism industry as opposed to Aramco. I’m just connecting dots but it seems to tie in.
