et tu brute

Which one and why? Not sure why the first one left either.

I get that (no guarantee they hold value though) was just making the point that there have been many outgoings in the club’s account since the deal was agreed, so when did Ashley draw the line. I agree he’s going to lose millions, and the fact that it’s now being portrayed that relegation is being allowed to allow a takeover is just lala land stuff.

So when did money coming out of the club’s account not effect the agreed price? After the purchase of Wilson? After the purchase of Lewis? The signing on fees for Hendrick and Frazer? These were all completed after the price had been agreed.

So people are honestly now thinking we’re purposely trying to get relegated to get the takeover through. I’ve heard the lot now.

What pisses me off is the self-called superfans who come up with the 'support the team not the regime' card every single time. I put my record of attending games against most over a 40-year period, but 5 year ago I said enough is enough, as it was blatantly obvious that the owner was simply running the club to the ground, with no prospect whatsoever of showing any ambition to move the club forward. To me anybody who continues to spout this shite and attend games are the ones who are not real supporters of the club.

You be ok anyway as no top manager would touch us with a barge pole under Ashley. We would struggle to even get a below average manager nowadays.

Bruce returning in a few years time

Certainly don’t think Jones or Wilder are the answer either

A British no mark manager is exactly a typical Ashley selection

Well maybe, just can’t see Wilder accepting the job for 9 games. He’s also a typical long term Ashley type selection.

Well if that happens, then I think you can safely say that no takeover is happening.

That podcast is an absolute joke and I can’t listen to even a minute, before switching off. The one who hosts it is even worse than Caulkin and Waugh. As I said earlier, just cannot get away with either journalist and Caulkin is Edwards best mate, which says a lot. Each to their own though.

I would say Henry Winter, but, Hope would be second in my opinion.

With covid also don't think fees will be as high

Personally think ther will be a mass cull if we go down especially all our so called better players. Can't see Wilson, ASM, Almiron, Frazer, Schar, Lascelles, Dubravka being here and maybe even the likes of Hayden and Woodman. We are totally fucked this time if we go down imho, as I honestly believe there will be no takeover and Ashley will strip the club.

Yep you're entitled to your opinion.

Doesn't read that way then, mind I'm not a fan of Caulkin or Waugh either way, though I know some will disagree.

He's not, and if those two say that, they're talking absolute shite. Doesn't surprise me though as I just don't get the love in with Caulkin by some on here and Waugh is just a junior Ryder.

We’ll see

No takeover and Bruce in charge and I don’t think many will give a fuck anymore. I still maintain that crowds will absolutely crash in this event. Unless Ashley is willing to increase his free tickets to over 20k I honestly doubt you will have 30k in the stadium. I know some on here disagree, but, we will see as it’s very likely going to be tested.

Blatantly obvious the players want him gone and yet he is still here. In all my years of being a supporter even during the Richard Dinnis player revolt, the McKeag years and the previous Ashley years, this is probably the worst period I’ve ever experienced.

Whilst I lose half the value of the club by doing so. Sorry not buying that spin. We don't know if agreements have been signed, promises made etc So are you trying to say PIF are willing to pay the 350 million if relegation occurs or that Ashley is ok with losing half the value of the club. Neither make any sense at all whichever way you look at it. Sorry again not buying that either. No, PIF won't pay 350m if relegated No, Ashley likely won't accept half - out of interest, where do you get this revised cost if relegated? Most financial experts are saying the cost of the club will be valued at least 100 million less. Please tell me one championship club which has been sold for anywhere near 175 million ever, never mind recent times with the current pandemic. This is a club who doesn't even own it's own ground either.

Can you not give us this just for 15 minutes until the inevitable heartbreak comes (usually from Ryder). Can you go find a kids sandcastle to boot over until then, please. Trust me I'm as desperate as anybody for the c*** to go. Sick and tried though of being fed s*** info these last few years.

I know we're desperate, but, surely this would have been announced already. We don't even know what or who the source is.
