I'm just clinging to the hope that he knows we're now at the most attractive we'll ever be under him (Rafa and Premier League), if he doesn't sell now, we lose both of those and bang goes his last chance of getting anywhere near what he wants for us. Pretty sure I thought similar this time last year Rafa is gone if Ashley is still here at the end of the season. I think the two of them both know they see the club as different entities in terms of what it is and what it could be. If Rafa goes, for Ashley to want to carry on his shite of spending minimally to get PL safety, he'd need to spend significantly on the playing staff as the twat brought in as manager will be some clueless cunt. If that happens, relegation will surely happen and no PL and no Rafa would equal a major drop in both value of the club and advertising for his horrid company. I think right now would be the time to sell in terms of maximising profit for the club, but you can never second guess that wanker.

The Kenyon stuff came to light before the Leicester home game, Ashley's first game back was at Palace the week prior. The rest of your post I agree with and that is the worry. I do think the Staveley stuff looking back was played out a bit too much in public; her appearance at the Liverpool game, the curry house (whether that was staged or not), etc. She did make 3 bids though and the fat cunt didn't take any of them, which was the issue then and is still the same issue now if/when one is lodged as you say.

I remember reading at least one group is that far, Kenyon's I think but a bid hasn't been made. Which is what everyone's waiting for apparently.

Didn't have you down as just as much of a perv as Dave.

Who is in the original photo btw? It was in the first Rafa thread as well.

Invalid tweet? It was Douglas saying "As an addendum, Rafa had been expecting news on the takeover on Sunday which didn't arrive."

Will he not see it as unsustainable for his vile model of spending as little as possible to stay in the league? The average net spend of PL clubs this year has been around £43m which he refuses to match. His refusal to match that whilst promoted clubs are spending that or more means relegation struggles which we would be dead and buried in if not for Rafa. Rafa is gone if Ashley remains. Is he not trying to get out at the maximum profit he can to focus on his shitty retail without having the bother of us going after his shite shop? It's the only real reason I can come to regarding him actually selling and not lying again. Based on the speculation and the mild optimism in the press, I do feel that he is trying to get a deal done to sell the club. He will only spend money on players if we have the money physically in our account, and will not speculate to accumulate. If he does speculate and say sanction deals for club record fees, then he is doing what he has never done for this club - pay going rate, pay in installments, structure deals like every other club does. Yep. From the people I've spoken to in the MG, they've been advised it's legit, like. It's not a case of there being no potential buyers it's whether Ashley is going to be a cunt and move the goalposts. That’s been the situation for the best part of a decade though... Quite a few think there are no buyers, that Kenyon et al are all in on some sort of Ashley conspiracy to fool the fans.

Missed. Chortle.

He's been negative since the statement. Edwards was the negative one with the Staveley stuff last year. Just as I finish typing this I realise this is completely meaningless information.

It started going downhill after Bobby left imo, i will always remember the mackem game where we lost 2-1 (Shearer missed pen) obv a s*** result but i will remember it for the atmosphere, it was that loud there was actually a buzzing noise in the stadium, it was f***ing electric, never experienced that since and never will again sadly. It can still get going when everyone is up for it, Benfica a few years ago, Leeds in the Championship, the games I mentioned last season. But that's the issue, it's only when everyone is up for it. That includes the groaning bell ends.

Craig Hope isn't on the trusted list is he? I hate it when it's not one of the trusted journos passing comment on twitter. I think he's usually right with stuff but is melodramatic at times. If it happens, we'll wake up or just be checking Twitter or the news and we'll see the club statement announcing it.

I'm biased as fuck but our support on its day can be brilliant. Man United, Arsenal and Chelsea at home last season. The Watford and Bournemouth games this season were okay and even last night was okayish especially after the red card, despite the bell ends groaning. But it's once in a blue moon. Hopefully the singing section can be shifted pitch side soon.

So no one's bid yet going by the Craig Hope tweet and it's up to them to do so. Well, the fact that this is public and almost every day there's a snippet about the whole thing is tiresome tbh.

Bloke behind me in that stand was blasting Perez after he was elbowed. 'Get up you fucking cunt, there's nowt wrong with you Perez, man'. These are the same people who shouted at my dad whilst we were doing the 11 minute walk in 'that's done a lot, they're 1-0 up now'. Some of them are so fucking thick. Have to restrain myself from bursting into a swearing tirade against them in front of everyone.

Injured.

We'll stay up but 7 home defeats from 9 is absolutely rancid, like. Howay Kenyon, give us a lift.

I was having a go at him for their second like, it was poor losing it there, he had a canny game though. More angry at our defenders backing off their player who had the initial shot rather than Perez tbh.

MOTM. And yet there were still thick cunts having a go at him for their second goal, and when he was on the deck with a bleeding nose. FFS.

Totally agree. I think he's got all the attributes of a good manager (those who say he took us down, we've been down under Rafa too). There's no way he'd come and manage under the FCB, but if/when the fat cunt fucks off, I feel that Shearer could be our next Keegan. Nah don't think he'd manage us again. Can see him being involved in the club overall at some point, though. Not exactly sure how. As an ambassador or getting involved with the Foundation, most likely.

My money's on him being full of shite, but yer knar. https://twitter.com/Blackcloud1603/status/1071538499491389446

You weren't even born you bellend Ageism. Get in. We'll have the last laugh when we are all dead, and you are eking out the rest of your existence in a post-civilization hell. A hell caused by you auld bastards. Nothing more satisfying than shitting on your future. Now that's what should've been on the side of the bus.
