et tu brute

Actually he didn't say website or socials. It was officially announced on the 30th July before his first game at Lincoln a week later. So he was officially announced before his first game

You mean the actual club site I thought he meant actually announced he had signed

And currently none of the European heavyweights are pushing to sign him.

Botman actually came out in January stating about the project and that he was not against signing in January. Ekitike hs been the total opposite with him and his agent, and it's time to turn away and concentrate on players who acually are interested in playing for the club.

Not got a problem with any player not wanting to come, as you said it's their choice. By the same token, I don't really want players who don't want to be here either and I would hope that Howe and the owners are inclined this way also.

It's getting to the stage when it maybe an unwise move for the owners to go for him even if they can get a deal agreed. Do Howe or the owners really want a player, who by all accounts is maybe very reluctant in coming here?

No we don't, I don't know why people are taking notice of reporters for. They were spouting the same bullshit in January (£50 million budget, but actually we would have spent £120 if Ekitike had signed). If players are available who the club want, then the money will be spent.

On the official website the Botman article from the other day has twice changed the date to the current date (i,e, it has 1st July today)

I presume you're joking

The thick cunts just continuously lie about everything to give themselves the massive comfort blanket they need. The attendance shit I highlighted the other day being a case in point. The fuckers are absolutely broken and as we all know this is just the start.

I don't think they will wait at all. They will conntinue negotiating as they have been, and move when they get an agreement.

The bitterness and hate is ramping up each day

You're welcome

Don't know if anybody knows this but if you put in code JOINNUFC20 in at the checkout on the club online store you get 20% off

I see Pete Graves has started the next meltdown on there

They rock back and forth constantly between shit signings and faux outrage, they will end up getting dizzy. They're totally broken and this is just the very start

They forgot to add Gooch also

Or even the likes of villa. Who signed their number 1 target diego carlos Do the thick fuckers actually check things before posting utter shite. A quick check up on various media sources, would tell them what they're posting is total bollocks.

Or those who didn't qualify the criteria.

You're not counting people who did not qualify for the chance today though.

As I said you're entitled to your opinion, if St James can be extended fine (may cost less, but it will still be an extortionate cost due to the current location and the buildings surrounding it, the returns would not be cost effective compared to a new stadium either), if not then we need to move. Leave it there though as we obviouisly have different views.

Mind no other club takes as long when players have had their medical, I thought we would have improved this once Ashley had gone. I'm not saying he isn't still signing by the way.

The essential part for being a fan to me is the team and the support first and second with the ground third. Wasn't having a go at you as everyone is entitled to their opinion, and as I said if they can increase the stadium then fine (I think it will not be cost effective though). When you have so many fans who were going for 1,000 tickets and many more who didn't meet the criteria, then something has to be done (this is before anything major has happened also in terms of actual success). I was a season ticket holder from when the east stand opened until the season before Rafa left. Yeah maybe some will say I should have kept my ticket (even though I hated everything the club had become - most on here though were having digs at people who did go), but the fact I may struggle to get a match by match ticket never mind a season ticket due to the size of the stadium, means (in my opinion) that something has to be done. Look at the option of increasing the current stadium first, but if that's not feasable, then a new centrally located stadium needs to be found.

Not when people are missing out it's not though. If St James can be extended to 62,000 (I think the cost would be too much for such a small increase and we don't have a Wembley to totally redesign the whole stadium) then fair enough, but when supporters are missing out, then it's time to have a major rethink. I agree with others it needs to be central though.
