This was always much more than a simple purchase of a football club. The discussions going on in the background probably don't revolve too much around us. We just happen to be stuck in the middle.

They don't appear to exist, tbh.

I'm not on twitter, but it was inevitable that a few idiots would go to those lengths. And now of course everybody else will be putting the 80,000 signatories in the same bracket as the 120 morons on Twitter.

The fact that is such a good point just heightens my anger.

Classy.

Can't even rub in his own lotion. Footballers can fuck off.

Didn't Staveley herself say it wasn't over?

There's no reason to dislike him, either. So the fact he played for us is enough.

He could easily get double figures on a regular basis, in the PL.

The only person I've seen ask is that Tyler.

I can't help but note that in this report (and when they first reported it) they totally completely skip over that the PL are being called corrupt by fans, that that hashtag is trending, and why it is felt that they are corrupt. Can't put it down to libel either as all they would be reporting on is what is being posted. I love the BBC, but this is just lip service. Why would the BBC report completely evidence-less accusations of corruption aimed at the Premier League from randoms on Twitter? It would be an absurd thing to write. "Twitter user MBSIZOURKING tweeted 'Masters ur a corrupt Qatari cunt m8 fuck off!11'" They're forever reporting shite accusations on twitter.

Aye. Negotiations tend to unfold quicker when they run along the lines of; "Just fill in the salary and sign at the bottom"

Nee chance. They only get involved when it looks good for them. They're not going to protest corporate corruption when they make millions from Santander.

Problem there is that you can't make a deal contingent on something not legal. Which is why Staveley's quotes can't be taken at face value. What were the exact quotes, anyway? EDIT "Country" in that context clearly means government, and is confirmed in the second sentence I guess it would depend on what they actually said, and not what Staveley said, on reflection.

you have to bear in mind that after tax he'll only get about 278k. you can barely buy a house for that, these days.

That's some commitment from you there. ?? going have to explain what that refers to there like. It's just a joke about how you began by stating they should be referred to a the favourite 6, and by the end of the statement you yourself were referring to them as something different.

That's some commitment from you there.

The thought that bribes aren't involved, doesn't enter my head these days.

Still interested if there is any way to resurrect the deal. How about you break one of your Billion pound notes and just do it yourself. Although to be fair, that 700 million in change wiln destroy his pockets.

Notice he wasn't wearing a mask.

No she didn't. All good fun but let's not pretend things are happening when they're clearly not. He'll be back on the street, sans cuppa, in 5 minutes.

This is very true. It's impossible to ignore it completely. I wish I could. Accept the club is dead . Act accordingly . So you joined up here after the deal was said to be off just to tell people to give it up. f***ing weirdo. Im giving my point of view as regards what we can do thats most effective in getting rid of Ashley - you can agree or disagree but theres nothing weird about having a different piint of view - maybe a bit weird to insult people for having a different opinion from your own though but . And as been pointed out, not everyone can just ignore the club completely. I'm not sure that is even possible, if you are a supporter of any kind of team/sport etc, to just all of a sudden ignore it's whole existence and not "care" I dunno. Maybe if the PL continue to completely ignore us for the next year we'll forget we exist.

I love how you went from 'not a dig...' to calling them stupid, thick or sheep I thought it was more self-deprecating, tbh.

Liverpool done the same and look where it got them. It staggering the amount of we cannot win so why bother in the mass population over the way corporations treat us not just in football. The trouble is nobody contests the concept, they simply get a bee in their bonnet when it affects them, personally.

I may be wrong, but i just assumed the NUST would mobilise a credible push for answers more than anything else. What you have suggested is fantasy and I hope no one joins in that belief. Question is, if 10,000 sign up under that belief will NUST care. I doubt it. Well those 10,000 will - NUST is the constituent of its parts - one member, one share, one vote. If you are a member and unsatisfied stand on that ticket for election to the board at the next election (happens every year), give up all of your spare time for free and try and make a difference. If members vote for NUST to protest outside the PL building will NUST do that ? The AGM won't be for a while so that might be a little late - and that would be a strange thing to vote on at an AGM. All PL staff are working from home btw. If it would be a strange thing to vote for at the AGM why is the date of the AGM relevant?
