TK-421

I did a search for 'National Sports App' and found nothing. However, the SD logo is Blue over Red, so perhaps not. But Ashley is probably loving that people have made the correlation to SD.

Police have charged Barton with ABH, over the incident with the Barnsley manager. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/25706/11764728/joey-barton-charged-with-actual-bodily-harm-following-barnsley-incident

Owld Brucey, man!

What penalty miss?? Don't remember a penalty miss, but I do remember him missing an absolute sitter (or did he pass when he was clean though and could have shot) in a derby match playing for SAFC. Think his career there ended in that moment, much like Clarky and that T-Shirt.

Trying to decide which Greggs to hold it in. My bets on the new drive-thru one up Gosforth.

Aye, and Fat Sam with a 3 yr contract paid off, and a new Spanish Villa on the way.

Suppose it depends on the contract. Anything more than a 1 year rolling deal and its (more than likely) over. If it is a 1yr rolling, then you'd think its not tying him down for too long, just incase. Aye alreet... its over, isn't it.

He'll probably be celebrating in The Diamond once its confirmed.

Most of the UK Sport Media: "Yes" Luke Edwards: "I'm not sure he has"

Aye, add to the fact that he's already turned down his 'Dream Job' at his 'boyhood club' twice before, both times when the club he was with was a division below, and that tells you everything about how much he's wanted to manage us. Thing is, if he really is coming in as the lowest paid manager in the league, and the apparent sh*tstorm, then why is he??!!

Will be surprised if Pards name doesn't crop up shortly... either as a candidate, or (out of the blue) of actually being appointed. After all, even with everything going on, Ashley didn't sack him... he was actually 'poached' by Palace, wasn't he? And we actually got Compo for him? That's the ultimate for Ashley... get paid for someone, then get them back a few years later for nish.

If there's been no approach to SW, how have they (NUFC) allegedly been able to talk to him and agree his terms?

Haggling over dried out dog shit with a club from the champo. :lol: Was it not the same when we went after McClaren, as well?

Probably Giggs, but just went on Twitter to see if there was any Steve Bruce news, and stumbled on this

Aye there’s being at the training ground and there’s actually taking training Aye, remember that time Rafa was back at the training ground, and sky were there and everyone thought it was just 'routine'?

Aye, regretted it so much he turned us down again when he was approached following Sourmess sacking.

'A percentage of future player sales'... so does that mean he/they won't even spend the full amount we get from future sales then??! This ****ing club/owner!!!

Depends if that DJ's grafting!

There's the problem. Doubt Ashley would appoint anyone 'popular' with fans again. I guess the approaches to Allardyce and Bruce kinda prove that.

The rolling ticker on SSN last night said Bruce was on a rolling contract and compensation would only be £1m. Surely/Shirley if the compo is anywhere near £5m, then that kills it dead. Why would Ashley pay that (or any) sort of compo, when Pards is sitting at home stroking himself???

Nah, he's just took the call from Jose to say.. "stay put kidda, I'm on me way" He's now phoning a taxi to take him back h'yem.

Just got odds of 66/1 on Nolan at sportingbet.com Worth a couple of quid for if when it happen.

This whole takeover saga is getting like Brexit. It might not end with the result I'd want, but I just want it sorted/confirmed one way or the other so I can get on with my life.

Didn't he have a go at Rafa a few months ago also about him going to the press to express his frustrations? He makes a similar comment on TS, about Rafa 'knowing how to play/use the press/media'. Oh aye, this has Bishop all over it. First trying to say it was BZG that wanted rid of Rafa, and now the focus is turning onto trying to make Rafa the bad guy for 'using the press'.
