Quickly on Allardyce

Exactly

So that's... 6 in a row for Willock

"Although the advice was not provided to the Club, the Club was informed that the Chairman had advised the EPL on amendments to its ‘Owners and Directors Test’ (‘OADT’) in Section F of its Rules. Shortly after the Chairman provided that advice in 2017 the Rules were changed to prevent a foreign owner involved in alleged broadcasting piracy from passing the test." https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/latest-news/club-update-05032021/ - as above

I don't think you can replicate that Charlton game from the other year! If anyone wants to rewatch the 94th min winner

If that's a sign of things

Posting Burnsie to back up the point haha, tbf he isn't wrong

You wonder why he's won it? https://www.premierleague.com/news/83956

The next topic on the agenda. Let's hope come August we've had some movement, not expecting new owners but at least a better idea of how things are panning out

If anything that makes for a fun day watching proceedings if it happens! Separate from ongoing arbitration ofc

Hopes are high too, according to sources, that proceedings could reach a court date in less than six months, depending on the outcome of an impending hearing. Document disclosure, which is being sought by owner Mike Ashley could come much sooner. And interestingly, this conference is a public matter and could, we’re told, be streamed, details of which will be announced on https://www.catribunal.org.uk/– allowing NUFC fans to see the club’s anti-competition initial skirmishes played out in the public domain. Sources claim the expected timescale of a fast-track case would be around three to four months – although nothing can be absolutely guaranteed. When approached by the Gazette, the Premier League issued a ‘no comment’ response on the latest legal action thrown their way by Mike Ashley.

Wycombe not finishing bottom and reaching 43 points is incredible for them, that's 6 more than what Sunderland had a few years ago by comparison. And to think some thought they'd be down by Christmas!

No wonder he's so rated on the FM games

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/do-not-expect-a-spending-spree-this-summer-says-newcastle-united-manager-steve-bruce-pl6nvsdrr “Of course every club will be the same, they will be looking at Bosmans [free transfers], which are always attractive for obvious reasons,” the 60-year-old said. “I have to say to everybody, I can’t see there being swathes of money anywhere in the Premier League. The discussions I’ve had with other managers, the Covid situation has left the football world losing millions. I can’t see a load of money being spent this summer.

It was registered 2 weeks fwiw so there may've been progress since, good that it's come to light now

Just to show anything can happen in football: we overturned a 7 point gap with 3 games remaining to win the Championship in 16/17. I know it's heavily unlikely but it's possible and the cynic in me - which always comes out after a defeat - says that could happen with Fulham 9 behind with 4 to go (if they win theirs it's really a 6 point gap they need bridging; the Southampton and Burnley games to win)

Fulham have Southampton and Burnley next, even we could beat them. But knowing them, they have a tendency to fall short so we should be ok, but only just. We'll struggle next year too

Rafa Facts is him too

LOC is League of Champions which is really a new Champions League

Yeah, a tactic to keep them in without forming the breakaway. I'd rather, if this is to happen and that's final, that things happened within the existing pyramid as it isn't 3/4 a closed shop
