Already been outed as con artists when they tried to sponsor Haas F1 team for a bit, and dropped as they never paid anything. So it may be a case of one chancer (Donald) selling to another group of chancers. Totally,but at least these ones are deliberately and actively funny with it. Should have seen some of the stuff they put on Twitter after Haas sacked them off

Wallsendmag will be fuming even more since he insists Leeds have never been a big club. They aren't. s*** history, s*** crowds historically, and a shithole of a stadium! Last 2 are very accurate, they’ve never averaged over 40k in their history. Danny Mills claimed recently they’d get 50k in league one, very overrated and not in our league support wise. Back when Leeds were a big side, not many sides were getting more than 40k average crowds. They've been out of the top flight for 16 years. C’mon Elland Road held 40k when they were riding high and in champions league. I remember year after they won league, they played Norwich at home and there were rows of empty blue seats in their brand new east stand. They’re up there with the best away support wise, but Leeds is not a football city on par with Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle. It's just a lot more spread out, and there are a lot more clubs within 5-10 miles than there are here. Plus half of them prefer rugby anyway

Well, that is pretty much the exact opposite of what is happening and what will happen. Obviously, our takeover will succeed, probably has already succeeded, and will be announced on Monday 27th July 2020. Bloody love your optimism MP. Don't know if it's just wild hope but your posts always cheer me up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk AND, I do look good in a Kilt !! Thinking of making it the official dress of the "Manorparkians Group". No-one looks good in a kilt. Even Rab McDonald of the Clan McDonald going to war with the McDougals for the rights to farm Haggis in the Hebrides couldn't make a kilt look good.

Edgar Davids at Barnet.

Barton and Lee at Derby....and every club Lee was at after
-
Shay Given at Stoke
-
They had some right players too...Tristan, Mackaay, Luque, Naybet, Arriaga, Barriaga ,

Wonder how many of the commentators would be decent if they could get past their own club bias. Neville does it reasonably well but there's always that underlying impression that it's Man U first. Guess Jena's isn't bad at it either really, despite being a touch dull

Bad thing is that he is generally pretty good as a pundit...as long as he's not talking about Newcastle or Liverpool. Even when he was here he came across pretty well in interviews, and certainly more articulate than some of the numpties who we've had since. Apart from the Bellamy debacle of course

He's benefitted massively from taking over a Rafa coached squad, even if he has made them shitter along the way. Rondon and Perez scored 25 goals combined. Joelinton scored 2. Don't care about transfer fees. There is -23 goals there. That's huge. Let’s give Kenny Dalglish a reprieve since Shearer & Ferdinand scored 41 goals between them in 96/97 but Shearer & Tomasson only scored 5 the next season. Bore off man. Shearer and Tomasson barely played in that season. Shearer had a horrific injury. I get you hate Bruce. Fine. But no Perez and Rondon is a big loss, and you not accepting that makes you like silly. Joelinton is utter gash man. Would he have scored a few more under Rafa? Probably. But we all have eyes, we've all seen him all season- his first touch gives me anxiety. He's turd. If we'd kept Rondon and Perez, I don't think they'd be as productive under Bruce, but they'd get 15-17 goals between them. Even just keeping Rondon he'd get at least 8 league goals for us. 4 times as much as Joelinton, who again scored 2 fucking goals. As someone pointed out, Rondon didn’t perform like he did last season under Benitez under Pardew & Pulis, what makes you think Bruce would have been more like Benitez than the other two based on watching his career as a manager for two decades? And you could add Shearer, Tomasson, Barnes, Rush, Asprilla, Ketsbaia & Andersson combined not just those two. Shearer had a big injury, Carroll is injury prone. Tomasson was new to the league, Joelinton is new to the league. Dalglish lost Ginola, Elliott & Ferdinand, Bruce lost Rondon & Perez. I don’t hear Dalglish being given the same half-arsed excuses Bruce gets now that he looks like he might miss out on the More Points Trophy. We still finished 2nd in 1996-1997 season. We were in the Champions League in 1997-1998 season man - the squad was better than the one we have today. Add 40 goals to the 97/98 team that Dalglish effectively lost. Same argument you’re applying to Bruce isn’t it? We went from 2nd to 13th from end of 1997 season to end of 1998 season. We finished 13th last season and we are likely to finish 13th this season with a point difference. Do you not see the difference? Do you think we’d be 13th now with this number of points had Benitez been in charge? No. Probably comfortably in the top half with a potential chance of euro qualification going in to last few games. Could easily imaging having at least another 10 points, and far fewer injuries

Feels clear enough that they dont give a shit how shady the buyers are or what kind of human rights violations they do. All they care about is money and their product (piracy). Its only ever been about how much money they can extract from the buyers. Noticed how quiet all the human rights objectors have gone for the last few weeks. A big fat cheque from PIF to PL would have had this sorted weeks ago. Unfortunately contracts and lawyers get in the way, so it has to look above board

Wow some excitement
-
Ooh I want to take ya Would be more entertaining than this match
-
This is a match where the Premier League need to take a look at themselves with the claim as the bestest league in the world.

Maybe the people involved are top professionals, unlike the usual lot. Nothing in Football at any level anywhere suggests top professionals are involved....whether it be Qatari slave masters buying a world cup and letting half their workforce perish in the sun, or makems knowingly letting a paedo play for them, or our very own delightful owner trying to justify his business as essential during a plague

Soooo bored. Arriaga to Barriaga

The orange kit colour shift looks good in the sun

I'm struggling to comprehend how nothing has leaked out anywhere. Someone always does regardless of NDAs. A few too many shandies from the right person and everyone knows everything. Maybe nothing is actually happening
-
Usually it does get leaked but generally gets lost in the noise of fakes
