The argument between Graves and Edwards is the best thing to have happened so far this summer. You’ll need to open the thread.

Gonna be hilarious seeing them fall over themselves to make excuses for OGS next season.

The only other point to make is Edwards is probably posting this through Bruce’s frustration. As his media mouthpiece, it’s quite likely that Patsy isn’t too happy about the lack of business. Can’t wait until December when the sale is put on hold because of a relegation battle.

Was it not said the O&D test was refused at one point? Not sure if he is right but that could be an explanation.

Called out for his bullshit and sees the article written by Douglas = it suddenly becomes a typo I mean ‘September’ and ‘July’ are easy things to mistype, the letters are practically next to each other.

So now we’ve had… End of January February March May the summer start of the season September I’m still waiting for this 11/10 news too. And people continue to take Keith seriously? Apart from predicting and then releasing his own stories via Kennedy, has he got anything right?

Wonder how far down the list of defensive targets we are now.

Sorry, have I discussed this before? Feel free to point me in the direction of that conversation.

I’ve repeatedly said my posts are my thoughts and opinions and I’m certainly not an expert. Pathetic that it constantly needs to be repeated.

Why don’t you take your own advice?…

I was talking about the fact he took the NUFC job as he wanted to remain closer to his family and his next job was halfway across the world. The pandemic came after that, the reported motivation to being close to home was when he joined us.

NUFC might have thought so. Just like the PL think challenging jurisdiction is a necessary delay. Your argument falters a bit because we were told so strongly after NUFC failed in that case that it wasn’t a problem and it was likely to fail. The point being, if NUFC wanted to progress quickly, they didn’t need to challenge. It also doesn’t answer why NUFC delayed to lodge the CAT case.

Why would the PL proceed with CAT when they believe they have a credible case to get it thrown out? It’s the same argument. Not withstanding the fact that I do think the PL have caused a lot of unnecessary delays… my point being that NUFC have too.

Rafa to Everton Nuno to Spurs Vieira to Palace Such a strange set of appointments. Can see all three ending up sacked by the end of the season.

Oh I absolutely agree. But to point to the PL and accuse them of delaying by putting forward a case to throw out the CAT case is a bit weird when considering NUFC’s actions. Still no explanation as to why NUFC took so long to lodge the CAT case too. They could’ve been through the jurisdiction challenge and disclosure etc. by now. That’s why it appears, from my point of view, to be a last desperate attempt.

It was only part of the process because we wanted it to be. It was reported at the time to have taken 3-6 months to resolve. If we didn’t challenge it and just proceeded, we’d have gone through arbitration by now. NUFC’s right to challenge that is no different to the PL’s right to challenge CAT’s jurisdiction.

Mad that so many English clubs sell young players for next to nothing and then buy them back (or someone else does) for tens of millions more. De Bruyne, Salah, Sancho, Pogba, Ake all just off the top of my head/recent. Are other top European clubs the same?

It was reported to be around £13m a year. Great project though. A rising league? It’s not. It’s the pits and still is despite years of blank chequebooks. The only players and managers going there are mercenaries looking for their final/biggest payday. The quality of football is minging and there’s a good reason most don’t last long there. As others have said, the MLS is better. What’s that got to do with taking the job?

He won’t have a fanbase behind him though.

I find it interesting that people (Keith and his following of minions) keep talking about the delay tactics of the PL, when NUFC delayed arbitration by 3-6 months by failing to remove the chair of the independent panel. NUFC could also have lodged the CAT case much sooner then they did. We could’ve had a decision/closure by now.

You’ve not answered what the project was in China? If money wasn’t the decision maker and he wanted to stay with his family, why wouldn’t he take a Championship or PL team on who needed a manager around the time? Or waited for the first set of managers to get the boot? You can’t say you want to stay close to Liverpool and then move to the other side of the world into a nothing league.

The same fake ITKs (Keith included) that have been sprouting bollocks since the start of this.

Come on now Unless the project was to earn money, absolute bollocks did he go there to build Dalian.

The thought of Rafa wanting a project or to be close to his family was proven bullshit when he decided to move to China. He wants a job which is fair enough and he can’t be criticised for that, but this is another shit move for him. It makes no sense on any level. It’d be a bit like Keegan joining the mackems.
