To be fair the PL never gave any indication there were any red flags because even the Government thought it was going through. Little be known the PL were just stalling, and that was the very start of them doing so.

I'm sure they sacked him for twatterface?

Clive Tyldesley got his job back then

Isn't he always on itv for England games?

Did they use a real crowd for the goal filming? If so was it done pre match before we had an actual game?

I guess they all got distracted when they ended up at pornhub at quickly forgot what they were doing

If Jacobs gets told something from the buying side, it's only tweeted by him attached to some negative spin from bein/PL. Each to their own but lawyer shell has got as much correct as him.

He'd probably resign to save his own fat golf course face. "As a supporter I feel its now my turn to enjoy and watch the football that like so many fans have been doing over the last 18 months while I've been at the helm"

Should never have left to join Liverpool. Was genuinely gutted when he did and with hindsight he'd have had such a better playing career staying here. Was a quality player then and caused problems for just about every defender we played against. Weird that for a player that never relied on pace and just had pure strength and aerial power his career went downhill so fast. Unfortunately that was all the injury problems though and not his own game style.

Would love to know the source of that quote from Ashley saying "get ready within the next month" Absolutely preying that's genuine as if so, he's been told something big.

I've only just seen this wtf

Sounds like a sole Bruce decision to allow that. Completely and utterly unprofessional

Some say, he taught Kante everything he knows in secret late night training sessions under street lights....

There's no way I'm parading around with a runners up medal around my neck if I've just lost the biggest game of my career It would definitely take place in a medal collection but its one of those that's left there and never really talked about imo. Either you win the trophy, or nothing else really matters.

Tried to bring Dias here

Yep, my mistake. Got mixed up with them being both famous gamblers. The Brentford owner is Matthew Benham.

My mate is a mad Brentford fan and says the owner is a famous gambler (Tony bloom?) and he makes his money by winning bets using a state of the art stats algorithm. This is also how he finds players for the club, not big names but statistically very very good with consistency and form. Pretty impressive. It's clearly working.

I know he has a PL 2nd place and a europa league final but it feels like the wheels are just waiting to come off so badly for OGS. Admittedly I never watch Man Utd play unless it's against us but he seems to be so reliant on match winning players saving his arse... (same as someone else we know)

I wonder if the real Ashley knows about his twitter persona. It's obviously not him but at the same time I don't think it's some random tweeting from their living room while watching TV. It has to be someone close to Ashley, but that being said I can't remember any tweet regarding takeover to come true. The one about "TV rights will play a part" came across as more a positive for us than a negative so I think that one was well wide of the mark.

Someone coming in an spending millions in the North without any need for government money, while the government make a shit load of tax out of it? I'd say they most definitely want it. They won't give a shit about the football but the prospect of development would certainly make them welcome it.

The had a contract with the PL for the rights, I'm guessing that didn't include the provision that they could get themselves involved with a clubs takeover business. They should have gone to the press and said we're not happy, and let masters respond in public or ignore it, like he did with us. Instead they contacted other clubs of the league that they aren't involved in. They have the rights but they aren't a shareholder like 20 other clubs. BeIn got to big for their boots and the PL were to chicken shit to tell them where to go. Bein have actually done more damage to themselves in helping the takeover by getting involved. Ironic.

We accumulated.

It's also strange that Bein didn't contact Newcastle and ask them to reconsider the takeover bid. Obviously they would get told where to go, but to do the process correctly surely the club actually involved should have been written to before any other club!

The problem is though is that BEIN didn't send that letter to ALL the PL clubs. It doesn't really matter how they said it,but you simply can't ask the biggest teams in the league to help stop the takeover, while completely ignoring the lower reams. It's emphasising the fact that you're only interested in money money money, and not fair competition. Also in a process that is strictly confidential, BEIN have absolutely no right to get involved. They are not part of the PL owners and directors test, yet they got themselves involved which again, is not fair competition.

I haven't watched it but not impressed with that. Stringing people along lols or not, just to get more views, especially when you would want people to believe what's being said from Keith etc. I usually enjoy the show but that's poor form.
