I'd say they're similar so if you can get £10m plus for Gayle and sign Hernandez for free and give us some extra funds for a first choice striker, it's worth it Imo. This.

Lascelles shouldn't be sold at any price.

We'll sign King. That's what my heart yearns for now.

Much preferred it myself, played by characters who smoked/drank that could win games with outrageous skill rather than rely on 6ft athletes who could run 16k a match. The world cups from England 66 to Italia 90 were great as well, and piss all over anything in the last 20 years.....in my opinion anyway.

Tim Nice-But-Dim will sidetrack them by unveiling his new FTM tattoo live on Facebook.

Very surprised to hear this news mind.

"So it’s always been a club that I’ve been somewhat fond of from an early age — for some reason I’ve always had an antipathy towards Newcastle. I mean that wasn’t a determining factor in this, but it does mean I’ve always had a slight soft spot for Sunderland because I’ve always found Newcastle to be a rather arrogant club." https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/als-methven-interview.1432242/ From their new PR fella Methven.....and of course they're lapping it up. Glorious.

Exactly, it's almost as if they're trying their very hardest to hold the club back......as well as seemingly being the only club in England desperate to post a financial loss. It's fair to say, we'd be out of business if it wasn't for the incredible generosity of Big Mike.

Indeed, it seems like the Shopacheck Shepherd literally cannot keep his mouth shut and they're lapping everything up.....exactly what they used to accuse us of doing under our former gobshite owner. To be fair to Fat Fred, he didn't end up shacked up with any of the 'ladies' he met in gentlemen's clubs either.

Some Scotch cunt that literally no one has heard of - I thought they said the pisstake party was over!

Any explanations as to why the wage bill went up so dramatically?

Would love to know the details of their future repayments to Short........there's no way he's effectively giving away the club for nowt to a couple of gobshite chancers to possibly make a load of money out of it. My guess is that they actually owe more money than they did previously, as 100% of their debt is now external to Uncle Ellis. Apparently we're the gullible cunts who will lap anything up though.

Do you think he's international class? He's not Franco Baresi but did you see Cahill play last weekend?

Definitely a rabbit off here.

2 good strikers would make a huge difference to our side TBF. I think Rafa would settle for 50m plus sales to be honest, it'll be the training ground plans that will be the issue, as effectively, Ashley has no intentions of spending a bean on it, or any long term plans in place at all. Rafa is constantly talking about the potential of the place and ambition.....and we all know Ashley has absolutely none as far as NUFC is concerned.

I'm sorry but that's s****......they had a deal agreed in principle, then Ashley went out, got p*ssed at a business lunch and bad mouthed them to his pals at Sky. Is this the 3rd time this club has been 'for sale'......and Ashley the business genius still hasn't managed to sell it?!

Yep, not my fault Guv..............and nothing from Rafa since.

I like the Fulham manager (whom I can never spell his name so he'll be forever that to me), but my money would be on the return of fat Sam unfortunately, the public apology last year and acknowledgement was clearly engineered to pave the way for his return should Rafa leave. He's the perfect manager for Ashley, absolutely perfect, gonna keep that PL TV money rolling in but in no danger of ever reaching the point where he needs to dip his hands too deep into his pockets. Just imagine the scenes if Lardiola returned.

He's probably been asking Charnley/the club to clarify next season's budget since the Arsenal game, but as usual, they've been fobbing him off and not giving him any answers. He was quite clear about wanting the situation resolving asap, and clearly has just had enough of them fucking about.

I feel sick.

I don't think he'll go to West Ham personally, it's Everton I fear.

Pretty much this. Ashley doesn't give a s*** as all he does is read about the 'protests' (or most likely just informed of them from Penfold) while raking in tickets from a sold out St James' Park. There's no way it sells out at SJP if he goes, no way......especially when he brings in some sap like Moyes. All the season ticket holders I know to a man have said they're not renewing if Ashley fucks Rafa off.

The protests would be in the form of the non-renewal of season tickets.......he certainly wouldn't be getting my two back. This wouldn't just blow over this time, and I think even Ashley realises that. Benitez has single-handedly doubled the club's value, surely even the businessman in him can see this, even though he clearly knows absolutely fuck all about the football side of things.

If its not likely then why cry about it? Like I said, stop wetting your knickers. Klopp to Madrid or poch to Chelsea is more likely to see us lose Rafa when then merry-go-round starts spinning. Direct to wham? Like you've just said, not likely. You're a bit rich to accuse someone of wetting their knickers, after your frequent overreactions and indeed knicker-wetting throughout Rafa's tenure.
