I can assure you it isn't.

Feel free to show me an example.

If you press charges then change your mind you get threatened with wasting police time. No idea how often it is necessary to follow through on the threat.

Absolute bollocks that is like, sorry. And they’d never get a CPS charge under any circumstance like this (a wrongful accusation being a different story).

Yeah i was just wondering really because he has a generic Manchester accent and I was interested in how they can prove it’s him in court. Is voice analysis experts a real thing?

Aye, it is. I wouldn’t say it’s too difficult to ascertain if that is likely to be both of their voices as it sounded quite clear from when I listened.

She will have a choice as to whether she gives evidence. If she had pressed charges she would be in danger of being charged herself, but that does  not appear to be the case.

 

 

 

Of course she can choose not to give evidence, but that’s not what I said. She’ll have no choice on charges being made now, if there is adequate evidence.

Why on Earth would she be charged for anything? She’s a victim.

‘A strong chance’ to ‘highly unlikely’ in an hour or so  Some proper minging sources these journos have at the minute.

My only concern is that it appears as if she didn't report it to the police and they are investigating in response to her posting on the internet [not confirmed but it seems that way]. Firstly you have the danger of an unfair trial, but most worryingly, she herself, had no intention of pressing charges, which might suggest she wants to save the relationship.

She‘ll not have a choice now.

Or not. 

Could easily be £13m + £2m in add ons tbf.

You do have a point mind. If he is planning on staying here long term, he will have to change his mindset from safety buys. Bigger expectations brings bigger signings and egos and it’s something he will have to deal with to be around long term. Sure he will.

Exactly. This is the point I’m trying to make.

It’ll probably be fine now, because all we’re trying to do is survive. But in order to progress he’ll have to move away from his previous style.

I'd be surprised if Howe has had much say in our individual targets. Trippier probably the only difference as he knows him previously so probably had a few chats with him beforehand.

 

He was probably involved in pinpointing what positions need improving and then leave it to the scouts/board/agents to identify who is available while he focuses on those already here

 

Howe is reportedly bringing in his nephew, who specialised in domestic scouting at Bournemouth.

Regardless of whether Howe has any say or none, he’s clearly trying to surround himself with his previous arrangements at Bournemouth. This one being a domestic scout.

Pretty sure I've read we're working by committee, with Howe and Tindall having a significant input. 

 

It's not much of a stretch to assume the domestic targets by and large are Howe's picks moreso than the others, especially as some of the foreign targets have been described as on our radar for some time. 

 

 

 

Plus this

So are we saying all of our British links are Howe's buys?

 

And all of the foreign links aren't his?

No, just making a link between shit British players (or those from a PL club) being linked to us and his record of 43 of his 50 fee-commanding transfers previously fitting that memo. 

People mock Dyche at Burnley, but Howe’s record isn’t far from that.

If it means Darlow is no where near the first team, I'm not complaining.

Not sure Bruno will displace Darlow tbh.

Whats wrong with that, especially in our current position?  

I don’t think those players are any better than what we have, excluding Tripper. 

Wood, Henderson, Burn.

Think there is better value elsewhere too.

Also his transfer record at Bournemouth was limited because of his weird obsession with British buys. Not convinced he’s the man to kick us on unless the transfer dealings are taken away from him.

1 minute ago, Newcastle Fan said:

I mean the evidence looks overwhelming and once all is confirmed he deserves proper punishment but is it fair to say the full investigation needs to be completed before a final judgment is made?

Agree but no idea why Man Utd haven’t suspended him immediately.

A suspension is not an acknowledgment of guilt. Shit from them imo.

1 minute ago, SUPERTOON said:

We will see tomorrow but it’s literally that or he doesn’t kick a ball, still think a relegation clause could sway it.

He can also not kick a ball for five months and then get a bumper payday on his Bosman and a choice of any club.

Just now, SUPERTOON said:

I still think we could get Lingard permanently 

He doesn’t want a permanent move, been reported all January that has.

Howe absolutely loves a British transfer  

Fucking disgusting. 
 

Always thought he was a bit weird after seeing the video @Slim has posted a while ago, but never suspected anything like this.

Should be immediately suspended and locked up, the sick cunt. That poor lass.

Edit edit - ta for whoever moved it.

Sadly indicative of the majority of large (5k+) away followings these days. Obviously probably massively exacerbated by the fact they were so shite on the pitch, but we’ve seen this type of behaviour in similar at places like Wigan. 
 

Guess if it’s easy to get a ticket and a relatively short travel, you’re gonna get your share that are just there for the drink (and the rest) and the match is little more than an excuse.

Wasn’t all that long ago a group of our idiots trashed an amateur match and ruined the pitch and equipment.

That is weird as fuck. I need to look at this properly. A tree didn't just fall on that. 

Both cars have been landed on, haven’t they?

Edit - nah I was wrong with my thoughts.

Cheeky little parking ticket in the door compartment

Bit strange. 

The fuck were they offering him?  

That’s awful. Really sad.

Definitely an insurance job.

Unsure why we have two football pet hates threads but for the sake of good order;

 

This sort of shit never happened before Rich started meddling.

There also seems to be a post after every defeat telling the owners to reimburse the fans  At least two threads on there tonight about it and I’ve seen several before.

"Your a massive club compared to Wigan, once you get some momentum behind you lot it will be hard to stop you"

 

Sure 

 Every.single.week.

Love it how they have the richest child owner in the world, but don’t even know how much he owns because there is a NDA around the deal   Sounds perfectly legit.

They’re all fewming now he’s only spent 50p on some plodder from the Irish leagues and a Stoke pensioner.

When are all these loans from Marseille going to start coming in?
