I think it says a lot about Wolves that they’ve sacked their manager, who is now making a step up and they’re replacing him with someone who most people would’ve needed to Google. Their agent-led decision making will end up in relegation at some point.

Yeah. I’m going to assume you’re not going to try and compare Guardiola with OGS.

They weren’t in it. Finished 6th the year before. Klopp is a world class manager with a great CV which afforded him the time. OGS isn’t. Also worth pointing out the bit in bold - as you say, it was clear what Klopp was trying to implement. OGS doesn’t have a clear direction and the progress is far from clear.

Sounds like a really decent bloke - did a job for us in the Championship and first season back in the PL. Another player who should’ve been thanked and moved on years before he actually is. What a moment he delivered for us at Cardiff too

I don’t always agree with Southgate in relation to selections and tactics, but I do think he comes across really well.

I thought he was a midfielder? Have I made that up?

Looks unlikely we’ll be spending £30m on Abraham then

We wouldn’t. Wilson was £20m and Joelinton should be flogged to make way for Abraham. It’s ambition, so it clearly won’t happen - but there is no reason why we should accept not going for Abraham because we already have one striker.

I agree generally, the only comment I would make is I haven’t seen many, if any, people claiming to be ITK. Most people are just sharing their opinion and people then discuss that opinion and either agree or disagree with it. Of course nobody can know the outcome of the case, neither the PL or NUFC will know either. But yeah, I agree. My post was because I don’t rate Kennedy at all, never really have.

Why wouldn’t we sign him even with having Wilson? Our next striking option is either Joelinton, Gayle or Carroll ffs. Wilson also has regular injuries. Relying on one striker is why we nearly ended up in a relegation battle.

21k tickets in League One would be impressive for anyone, us included. The fact it’s their fourth consecutive season there is more impressive. That said, their blind faith has been one of their biggest issues. Although they’re going into a new season with a new regime so they’re right to give it every chance.

Liam Kennedy’s excellent journalism showing it’s face there.

Would be a surprisingly good appointment for them.

Remember when they were all clambering over one another to change the seats for free? ”We’ve got loads of money though marra”

Longstaffs?

The only way he leaves is if another club has a brainfart moment (Palace with Pardew), he succumbs to a long-term health condition or Ashley sells the club. Any of those three options would be glorious, but basically, it’s more likely he gets a new contract.

Football has some proper weird stats these days with no real explanation on how they’re calculated. Not that I disagree with the findings - Darlow has always been gash.

We seem to attract these weirdos though - like Aston Villa who picked up that bizarre interest in us and then tried to claim we cared about what they thought

Why would anyone want to take this stance? Everyone in this thread wants the takeover to go through. If I’m wrong expecting it to fail, fucking fabulous. I’ll carry Whitley naked up and down Barrack Road before plunging Fab ice lollies into every orifice he has if it goes through. Couldn’t give a toss about being right or wrong - just want Ashley to fuck off at the earliest opportunity.

No. Even if we ‘won’ arbitration, I’d assume it’d drag on into the season. The deal would need to be re-negotiated, plus the O&D process would need to resume. We’ll see how serious Ashley is about selling when the re-negotiations start. Others have made it clear the club are worth less now than they were before. I do think we’ll be sold soon(ish) though. If the PIF deal is confirmed as a dud during 2021, either through arbitration or CAT, I expect someone else to come in and Ashley get rid. Would be over the moon if arbitration went in our favour, but just can’t see it happening.

Why would I tell you when I don’t have a clue? But what Jacobs says, imo, sounds plausible and much more likely than anything else. Plus, knowing the fact the PL have had legal advice from day one - I’m assuming they’ve not scored such a massive own goal as ‘Xander’ is trying to highlight. The paragraph (and interpretation) has been pointed out to you. Sadly, you don’t want to listen - but looking at your last couple of posts in here you’re absolutely a lost cause. You and others have screamed like 53 year olds at a Westlife reunion gig about how important your own thread is and how everyone else should stay out. Why are you in here posting stuff which is proven time and time again to be factually incorrect?

They’re very similar to the mackems in the sense that they’re permanently in their rivals shadow, scrambling around looking for other supporters to pat them on the head. As a club/team I’m not really arsed by them. If they were successful, great - well done. If not, meh - wouldn’t care either way.

He was fairly clear on the podcast - his sources are BeIN, PL and the consortium side. He has sources across all three. Hence why he’s posted balanced content and even some positive snippets. He also checks out the legal stuff with a legal eagle before he posts it. Probably more reliable than Xander then.

Progress? A top four finish is a top four finish, whether you finish 2nd or 3rd is largely irrelevant when you’re so far away from 1st place. Trying to claim that as progress is hilarious. The aim this year was to ‘maybe challenge for some honours’? OGS is absolutely laughing. One of the biggest jobs in world football and the only expectation of him is to try and do well, doesn’t matter if you don’t win at the end of it. Regarding the stats at the end - do we really need to go through the horrific records he’s also set as Man Utd manager? Or shall we ignore them? But okay - you reckon OGS needs to challenge for the title and win a trophy, we’ll look back on this next season. Although I’m fairly sure you said something similar before this season

But you could say the same about Leicester - beyond their first 11 the squad is really poor, but they’ve manage to do well (and much better than Everton) the last few seasons. Agree re: Lukaku leaving though.
