She bloody loves motorsport. I don’t even understand what the issue is around her. Interest groups have always used massive news stories to leverage publicity for their pet causes. It’s just she’s a person not an interest group and her pet cause is her husband being cut up into tiny little bits.

I can’t speak for the intent of the journalists, but the reason our fans don’t like them asking questions is because we all know what an honest answer would entail. I think it’s important this topic doesn’t become a cudgel to beat supporters with because ultimately we have no control here. But that only lasts as long as our fans don’t act like fuckwits around the topic. Certain dickheads who shall rename nameless have already decided they’re absolutely going to lean into the worst of this, but the rest of us would do well not to flip our lids because a journalist is suggesting our owners might not be the nicest people in the world.

If he has a wife I’m assuming she’s already left and took the kids.

I hope they all fuck off, apart from the lad bragging about his pants.

This. Just pop in obscene speculative bids for the best players from our relegation rivals and unsettle them

Only a few days ago we were being told to calm down because Balague was a known bullshitter too. We don’t have a great deal of insight into how the club is currently being ran, however the evidence we have seen so far suggests they have no idea what they’re doing. Considering a massive recruitment drive is required in a couple of months it doesn’t bode well that we’re seemingly unable to tie down a manager. It’s not as if we’re taking speculative punts either. These are people who are interested. They’ve interviewed for the job. And yet we’re apparently unable to get something agreed before someone goes flapping their gums to the press. It’s amateur hour.

Useless bastards. Even Ashley was able to hire a fucking manager from time to time

Charnley’s had the heating on full belt for the last 4 years.

That forum is the embodiment of the cry laughing emoji.

Oh no.

They’re playing in the first round of the FA Cup marra.

Basically where I’m at. Not positive, not negative but more curious to see whether he’s English football’s great white hope.

I wonder what holiday allowance he negotiated? Bruce was on two day weeks by the end.

This is either going to be an absolutely massive success or a massive failure. No in between. We’re either qualifying for the CL or going down.

He’s an accountant though marra

I’m okaying this on the assumption we’re getting relegated.

And he had Lukaku, unlike Moyes. I’ve watched enough football. There’s nothing you can say that can talk me round here. He’s shite.

He did at Everton exactly what Bruce did here - floated along in his first year on the back of the very well organised defence of his predecessor then ruined it. Wigan finished 11th the year before Martinez arrived, then we’re in a perpetual relegation battle during his reign. That FA Cup win was a massive fluke and means nothing. He’s won bugger all with one of the most naturally gifted national squads in recent history. He’s an absolute fraud. If we employ him he won’t last the season and we’ll be playing in the Championship.

He’s absolutely not, like. Martinez’s record is bang average, masked by a fluke FA Cup win.

If it’s Martinez I am done. He’s a complete fraud

He wants an international job so he has more time for rallying iirc

If we appoint Howe then along with Ritchie and Krafth we’ll be the most Aryan looking team in the whole division.

The leak yesterday.

It’s a bit sus that his agent basically puts his name about for every vacancy going.
