et tu brute

So the anti Middle East journalist is stating IT SEEMS like Man City's case has basically failed, whereas the main UK journalists are reporting it as a city win. Time will tell, but I know who I would be putting money on who is right

If the panel have agreed they are against competition law (which they are), then they have no choice but to scrap them.

I see they're getting their hopes up again that PIF are selling up and going for Tottenham or Liverpool. I love their desperation. Still totally broken

Is that the expert who said no way that PIF would buy Newcastle

All three need to be given a contract if we don't want them to leave on a free, so makes total sense

Stop talking sense man

Are you conveniently forgetting that it was started by Howe in the first place by saying he basically had very little input into the transfer window. Mitchell was fully in his right to come out and defend this.

Fucking hell I've agreed with just about everything you have said today in this thread.

The problems is we might not be left a choice, if those players want to move. By some accounts, the owners/executives were expecting Bruno's sale price being met. I've said since last season that this was an important season. Failure and we could see the club having to reset everything in terms of replacing high profile players

I'm sure the Chairman will judge all involved at the end of season, unless results drop off. As I said the club always comes first.

I'm in for the person(s) who will make the club progress. Hopefully that will be the people currently in post, but if not then the Chairman has some decisions to make. The club will always comes first not individuals

Yea you have a five year overall plan (could be any length of time of three years plus depending on the business) and then you are measured on the targets set within that plan. It's not rocket science

He's been here four months, one person of course will not be totally responsible for the overall plan. His input will be on the playing side and he will be asked to provide a five year plan on that side, which will be discussed and agreed by the other executives. Overall control of a five year plan for all aspects of the club will be under the instructions and guide of the Chairman

His attitude today actually stunk as there were at least three occasions when he made fuck all effort for the ball.

That's why you need a five year plan in place though, to be able to replace top executives, managers and players with the minimum disruption

First 40 minutes is probably our worst performance for a few years. We really should be 5 or 6 down

Gordon's attitude is an absolute disgrace in this match,, he's acting like he couldn't give a shit

Every single player has been don't just point him out

The pressure is ramping up, this level of play is not good enough when you look at the players on the pitch. Nearly 3 there absolutely abysmal this mind

Our defending man

I don't think personally he's worth even anywhere near £40 million. He's never impressed me greatly in the games I have seen him play for Palace. He was atrocious in the game up here last season

Why though? He's worth nowhere near that value

sounds like a woman's voice to me and female hands, though you might have not been serious with the wink

Is this Staveley greeting the players, I've got a feeling it might be, though not certain
