NDM back now.

Ive no idea

Aye but as far as I can tell - the consortium are trying to buy the club 'properly' and arnt concealing anything via company structure or who would be a director. This then opens up the 'why Newcastle United', 'why follow your rules now' questions and becomes the anti competition angle - and even ask questions around the wider outside influence issues

Exactly - the PL QC has, at length, set out the governing rules and isnt even finished as point 3 is still to make?? i think? If we can prove that those same rules have not been applied equally to every other club, and the ODT has to agreed every single year, then surely theyre fucked. Would look even worse if, for example, a club was taken over several years ago and the PL have rubber stamped concealed/dodgy ownership every year since....

Wheres my invite?

Might be talking out of my arse here but... The PL QC reliance on the PL rules, company structure and directors are going to be torn apart simply asking how those same rules applied to other PL clubs where it isnt even clear who the owners are and where clubs are being run by people who havent gone through the ODT.

Fucks sake - not even 30 seconds

If he says the word horizontal one more time....

Hes setting the stage that the actors act on. Has De Marco spoke yet?

I'm gonna have to do some work at this rate....

Been gone a while....

Does it say anywhere how many people are watching?

Rejection, hurt and loss of all hope incoming in 3...2...1...

Nearly all the German team still alive.

Thing is, doesnt matter who we bring in - any progress made is gonna hit a ceiling where Ashley won't invest to get the next level or even to keep us at that level. Howe would be a great fit for me as a fan but what fit would he be with Barnes and Charnley? If hes ringing Penfold wanting the training ground upgraded or wanting to strengthen the squad then it'll fall on deaf ears. Even if he somehow got cast iron guarantees written into his contract - that means fuck all and it'll fall on deaf ears. Even if he got his squad playing out of its skin every week and we finished top half or even squeezed into Europe, it'll fall on deaf ears like Pardew getting 5th. So is he gonna come here knowing hes basically set up to fail?

Maybe he's unfit like the rest of the squad here?

What - like you signed up then abandoned the game? Well that makes me look great doesnt it?

Me and @neesy111 are joint bottom stinking the place out. Ive just binned Kane and Willock - absolutely useless.

Thats not what the £2 is as I'm sure you know

Whats the balance - 4.5 at the back?

I like him. Seems to have a natural confidence in his decision making. Reminds me a little of that tiny rugby ref - Owens??

England.

That'll be a rehash of the betting odds changing rumour i posted the other day im guessing
