Didn't he throw his toys out of the pram and leave the forum because all the nasty things said about Pardew? He definitely had some inside goss - think he was golfing buddies with his agent - but it was always slanted in Pardews favour. He got a lot of stick for his views on Pardew, a lot from myself as well. I think he still posts every now and again.

Golfmag had connections to pardew iirc

It's Bank Holiday Monday in the UK right? And the league is out of season. Also the Premier league wouldn't go announcing a takeover lol.

Waking up to this can't allow myself to believe thoug.

I can't see him selling willingly either but I don't think just bleeding the club dry is such an easy feet. Only a manager of rafa's calibre can keep us in the league with minimal investment. On the flip side a manager of this stature won't be content with feeding off scraps. I think the most likely event is we become a yoyo club and Ashley considers selling us when can't get us back the Premier league at the first time of asking.

We would be stupid to accept such a low offer.

He's better suited to being a "destroyer" type than a typical holding midfielder anyway imo

Two rich clubs, one with no need to sell the best young talent they have who doesn't want to leave. The other club is floundering with a bad manager but bags of cash. For us to sell it would take more than the Carroll fee.

I think he's staying but If it's just the status quo it will be utterly pointless. Ashley needs to shit, or get off the pot.

Expect him to stay personally, usually when the fat cunt gets involved things move. If he didn't want to keep him I doubt he'd bother meeting him ala Shearer.

Man utd desperate to become a mid table side with such ambitious targets.

I voted for the captain. Rafa's presence on the pitch. He came back well from a rocky start and has a big influence on and off the pitch. Needs to work on his diplomacy though

Club in chaos with a transfer window opening? Time for a takeover rumour it is!

Why is a failed former football manager on TV spouting his political views? If he was a remainer would they still have him on?

If Ashley refuses go get on board I hope Rafa goes, the club needs to burn if benefitting Ashley is the limit to the clubs ambition.

Blame on both sides

Stop giving Ashley money in any form and encourage everyone you know to do the same. He's a parasite who's bleeding the club dry.

As we can see though, Rafa is ahead of them on the PR war.

Point being, Ashley won't back Rafa so it's unlikely he'd back Howe who happens to be quite well backed at Bournemouth.

If Rafa were to leave, why would howe come?

So he's compromised on his demands and they are still fucking him off. He should just walk, at this stage it needs to burn. Ashley clearly has zero intent to change and all this sale talk is just bullshit. Why would he want to sell the club?

When a profit is announced this week they are going to unbearable cunts telling us about how much of a saviour Mike is and how we are putting the horse before the cart.

The shearer treatment.

The money needed to have a crack at the top 4 these days really limits the asking price for premier league clubs.
