et tu brute

Championship player. I always wondered why Bournemouth let him go when they were in the Premier League after his first year here. As soon as we were promoted it was very easy to see the reason why.

I don’t think you’re far off the mark mate. Time will tell, we should know one way or another by the end of next month. Need it to be clarified either way so everyone can move on. Yep it's certainly keeping me busy and giving me something to do. Quite enjoy looking through all the rumours, speculation and possible leaks and trying to piece bits together. Much more enjoyable than than actual football at the minute obviously. That’s why it requires to be resolved as people can then make the decision to switch off completely if the takeover does collapse. I knew Ashley was a clueless clown when it comes to running a football club, but, even he has surpassed himself on another level this time.

Not a hope in hell will Ashley change his price as he's shown in the past. He would just keep hold and gamble (again) on coming straight back up. If we go down we can forget a takeover, the only hope is that a positive arbitration can be sorted asap. However if the situation is as bad as it currently is (or worse), then I think PIF may still wait until we know exactly what league the team is playing in. The landscape is different this time, the club is losing money hand over fist before relegation. The gamble would be far greater this time due to covid and empty stadiums. I think a structured deal would be the most likely outcome, with Ashley getting a foothold for Fraser group in Saudi as a sweetener. If that's the case why is Bruce still the manager. Nothing has suggested to me that Ashley is doing anything different from last two times. Any other club and Bruce would be gone by now and failure to act (especially as the arbitration is still weeks away according to Caulkin) does not cry out to me Ashley has learned one thing from previous years.

They were. Correct, but, still could and should have scored 4 or 5 so what does that tell you. That 20 minute spell before Gayle came on has given him a get out of jail card for another couple of games.

He can crap on all he wants about a partial improvement in the 2nd half, his team has still been beaten by a newly promoted team which should have scored 4 or 5 and had by far the better opportunities. This cunt is taking us down and fast but his bullshit comments he will no doubt mouth off will keep him in the job another few weeks at least.!It’s a absolute crime he will still be there as he would have been sacked weeks ago at any other club.

It’s either a positive result in the arbitration or bust for me. Other legal routes could take years to resolve and who’s to say they would get a positive outcome also. Looks like the arbitration still has a month to run also, so we’ll all just have to wait.

I reckon Joelington (f*** knows why), Fraser and one (if not both) of the Longstaffs will be playing. Just a guess mind. I can see Joelinton starting because Carroll and Wilson looked absolute rubbish together but think we'd be better off playing Almiron as a #10 instead. Wouldn’t disagree with that especially as Joelington is just utter shit, but, we all know Bruce and I wouldn’t be surprised if Almiron was on the bench.

I found it a bit silly when the NCSL bloke the other week stated a reporter (obviously Kennedy) had went shitting (my interpretation not his) himself, about an article he had wrote about Tottenham talking to PIF before us. Another reporter (obviously Edwards) had rang Kennedy to say Tottenham were coming for him in legal terms, for the article being incorrect. Kennedy was worried the NCSL bloke said that the story he published (which had been given to him by the NCSL bloke) wasn’t correct. Think Kennedy like Caulkin before is just publishing what he’s told. At least Caulkin has learned his lesson from that and keeps mainly stun now.

As I stated at the top of this page wait for the arbitration to concluded. It’s pointless trying to work out what will/won’t happen until it does.

Unfortunately nothing is going to change until the arbitration runs it process. It’s frustrating, but, nobody can be sure what is actually happening until it’s completed.
