Wonder what day the players go back to training? Thursday? (I am Fantail Breeze because the new forum logged me out of midds and I can’t remember my login details and no longer have access to the email the account is registered with)

2016 - Moshiri purchased 49% of Everton for £87.5m (valuing them at £175m) 2013 - Liverpool were purchased for £300m. In the Championship in 2016, Wolves were purchased for a paltry £45m. We’re ridiculously overpriced.

I must be one of the only people who think Mourinho is doing okay with that Spurs side. Kane and Son are class, but beyond that they’re not the best. I think the great start they had increased expectations. In n a League Cup Final and still very much in the running for 4th. They’re also above Liverpool right now but Klopp escapes criticism in comparison to Mourinho. They’ve had some honking performances mind.

Didn't it take nearly a week to sack McClaren? He was even taking training while it was going on Rafa was already in the picture then though, McClaren's treatment toward the end was terrible keeping him hanging on like we did. Absolutely. Remember the photos of McClaren at the training ground while Rafa was practically sat at SJP signing on the dotted line?

I’m never one for ITKs but I’ll happily sign up to this one and wank myself into a coma for the 15 minutes until it is proven wrong.

10,000 seats would sell within about 30 minutes. Had this conversation on another thread but I doubt we’d ever get the attendance below 30k on a regular basis. I don’t even know if that’s any different to other clubs tbh. Would Man Utd ever drop below 40,000? Would Chelsea ever drop below 20,000? Even clubs like Southampton, Leicester and Leeds have all had periods in the Championship and League One under shit ownership and retained a decent attendance. With the amount of tickets available for hospitality, free student giveaways, the ‘hardcore’ bunch that wouldn’t leave even if Ashley killed their granny with Covid... empty stadiums are near on impossible.

If there was an organised protest against Bruce that would be ferocious and intense, I would attend. I’d join in with the protest and then leave. Otherwise, nah. Packed in my ST when Rafa left and I won’t return under Ashley. “If Rafa goes we go” was exactly my stance.

Tubes is going to absolutely love this.

A bit like bumping the Bruce thread to say you think he should be sacked? Or bumping the match day thread to tell everyone you thought we’d lose and we did? Or bumping the betting thread to follow up on a bet you said everyone should place? It’s a forum for discussion. The discussion in here at the moment is that there has been no positive signs, or any indication whatsoever the takeover is alive with any sort of decent pulse rate. It’s hardly obtuse to come in and discuss that. No news is a discussion point, especially when we’ve been waiting 14 months for something to happen.

It’s not his money. It’s the clubs. It is his money. It's his asset that is depreciating in value. He’s already made/taken more money from NUFC than he originally bought the club for. He could sell the club for £50m in League One and still be in profit.

Perfect opportunity for them to recruit new members on the back of a crisis and then sit back and do nothing. Again. They obviously have little power in reality, but should have been using their presence to demand a lot of answers to difficult questions in the last 12 months. From both the press and club.

It’s not his money. It’s the clubs.

Correct. Doesn’t affect Ashley at all.

14 months on from the news of this takeover happening and here we are... Ashley still owning the club and Bruce in charge with the team hurtling at pace towards relegation. No sign from anywhere that it’s going to happen. Journalists reporting more and more that time is decreasing the enthusiasm from PIF, a never ending arbitration case with one fail already, yet people are still blindly optimistic. Relegation a mere inconvenience, just with another 15 other ‘mere inconveniences’ in the way.

Said it for a long time but it’s bizarre we’ve only hired one foreign manager in his whole tenure. Rafa also approaching the club rather than the other way round.

He pays nothing, the club pay the compensation.

I find it hard to believe Charnley has influence when it comes to making big decisions. He'll do the paperwork and that but surely Ashley picks managers and signs off transfers. Justin Barnes makes the decisions at NUFC.

Don't disagree with the principle but stuff like this just doesn't happen. What's their motivation? Their job is to get paid £30-80k a week to play football. That is guaranteed regardless of who is in charge and regardless - as we've learned - of what division they're in. Chelsea players instigated a change this season, Leicester players did under Ranieri... There are plenty of examples of it happening. Ours just obviously don’t care.

You’ve gotta question the players in this. Refuse to fucking play under him again ffs. I’m not one for ‘player power’, but they hold a lot and should be forcing the club’s hand.

Wow. We’re actually gonna go down. Hope Tottenham put 5 or 6 past us.

Nobody is falling for anything man, what you on about? He’s a f***ing nutter. New forum should see the end of c***s like this, thankfully. Ah so I’m a c*** now for been angry at the state of this club and for people still going to give Ashley money Nah, you’ve been a c*** for years pal. Absolute weapon of the highest order. Another tubes meltdown. Who had March 20th? He’s in the Bruce thread having an identical meltdown. Shouting the same ramblings of nonsense to two different groups who all have ear muffs on.

It’s finally reached “now or never”. I’m not expecting anything to happen, but if there was ever a time... You can absolutely guarantee they’ve not sounded any replacements out if it does happen. Will be a standing start, if that. The replacement is already here.

1 goal in his last 31 PL games. That’d be crap for a defender these days. This guy is apparently a £40m attacker. He’s so similar to Riviere it hurts.

Nobody is falling for anything man, what you on about? Don't engage, you're giving him the attention he wants. Who wants attention ffs!? I’m letting off steam about the utter s*** state our club is in and making valid points I think I’ve found your problem, tubes... You’re not

Tubes back with a bang with more hard hitting facts.
