Really...what does Lee Charnley actually do?

In all honesty, we probably weren’t getting £100m signings, at least not for a few years. 

It's not the £100mil signs - it's the money in the infrastructure - the stadium, the training ground.  Jacks eyes lit up when he was driving into Man City's grounds. 

Listening to Peps press conference - sounded to me they'll not be making a move for Messi as they're already brought in Jack as they were convinced he's stay with Barca.  Seems a case of what could have been.  Personally I would have liked to see Messi in the Premier League for City - they're gonna win the League anyway just would have been fun to watch.

Watching this - when Jack sees City's facilities just makes it hit home how far away we are from these teams and how much we've missed out on.

I can't picture Barca without Messi, it's not gonna be the same. They're gonna loose a lot of fans worldwide.

Utter waste him going to PSG - needs to test himself in the Premier League.  That aside though - surely PSG don't rake in the income to pay for all these players? Their wage bill must already be astronomical before you even add Messi to that.

Who knows we could have been in with a shout if the takeover had happened 

Maybe they have seen how Rafa managed at Newcastle on zero budget, which is why they went for him.

£25Mil for Ings is cheap - he's class.

Bruce getting a new deal is a clear sign that the takeover is happening. #positiveoptimism

John Terry is one of a few people I would probably grow to hate more than Bruce.

That'd be a step too far for me if he was ever to manage this club

Just your usual transfer window under Ashley.  I don't even bother looking at the transfer news anymore.

What kid would want to stay at this shit show, like. A mouldy fucking stadium and ice baths in plastic barrels.

 I am laughing but crying inside.  It's so true.  

It was known he sold it but I didn't realise he bought the land cheap from the club to then sell at a massive profit.  It's bad enough him just selling the land - that makes it even worse.

Didn't help - still confused

If he owned one of the big six this would be on every back page

Ok I am going to ask - what is a CAT?  Is this MA's case against the PL where he's suing for £300Mil?

Hands down has to be the fee paid for Bruce...

Quote

It is posited that the ‘Confidential Compensation Package’ totalling an ‘eye-watering’ £6,475,000 was paid by Newcastle to the South Yorkshire club to take Bruce to St James’ Park, reports The Shield Gazette.
