This....you don't become a billionaire by accident or luck. Loath him as much as anyone but despite his appearance, and massive ignorance there's a plan in there somewhere. Maybe looking stupid is his game so competitors in his actual business underestimate him. Pity he's dealing with football folk who like money even more than him

Support the team not the regime. Have to guess and hope you're being ironic

And any self respecting manager wouldn't have tolerated it

On the plus side, at least we didn't get ElMohammedy rocking up, which I half expected

So which is it? Massively ignorant of the situation, or full on taking the p***

It's all just so predictably predictable now to keep an interest. At least with Shepherd we could reasonably expect a weird or exciting decision at some point as fan pressure did get to him...Bruce wouldn't have survived that 2 in 20 run under him, as 6 lost games tended to be his limit before a sacking....now we sit in purgatory with no-one in authority making any decisions at all beyond 'don't spend money'

Yet at least 8 of the teams below can (and have) spend money freely without whining about Covid destroying the income?

If they weren't controlled by the 6 and were perfectly objective then yes they would have. Still think they would love the investment coming in but Masters/Hoffman are too scared of the 6 to upset them....cf their miniscule punishment for ESL guff

Pretty much irrelevant since the figures will already have been submitted from a specific point in the past.

So we've effectively spent nothing with wages down, and sell on fees coming. Yet we've got no money. Don't p*** on me and tell me it's raining...that's what's happened. We make loan payments to mike, yet the loan never seems to go down? Don't the accounts show that we pay this almost every season yet it still seems to be the same amount? In theory we have a good model for not going bust by not paying out any more than we have in the bank, but it simply doesn't work when no-one else does it...kind of like having to buy a Corsa outright, when all the neighbours are borrowing to get BMWs and Mercedes. Yes you have transport, but it looks and handles badly

Fax machines? What sorcery?? The Royal mail just didn't do their job

This would be shocking and surprising anywhere else, but sounds exactly like our lot down to a tee

I am Jacks total lack of surprise

There'll come a time Highlander

It's sickening watching all these allegedly skint clubs spending money like water, while we claim poverty, and actually act like it

Do or do not. There is no try

I believe there were 10 that rejected it before Bruce took it?

Didn't you watch what happened when Rafa left?

We tried

Wasn't there a graphic going around a week or so back which showed that he was the only owner in the league not to have actually put any money of his own in at all....being dwarfed by the likes of Burnley

This year is a perfect storm for relegation... Pissed the league off so there'll be no favours from officials Hated manager Poor players in key positions Relying on loans (if we can afford them) It's like 'Makems 2'....just when you thought it was safe things get Brucey

Standard...can't even be rubbish enough to lose when it matters

Got an Armstrong brace or hattrick written all over...plus a ward prowse free kick

Was it not Christian Gross

So where's the f*****ng money Lebowski? Only team in the league that couldn't scrape together enough for a loan fee allegedly
