I mean, obviously we're a shithole club, but he knows what he's getting. Theory will be 1-2 years of first team football, then sold to Everton/Tottenham/Chelsea for 50m quid, with zero chance the club stands in you way when you ask to leave.

This. Sit on the bench at Arsenal or come here and get himself in the shop window, presumably with a pay rise included.

It’s just so weird the people getting wound up by it. 
 

I hate celery, might go down to the grocers demanding they shut and if they don’t, I’m just going to go in every day to tell them how stupid celery is. 
 

It seems a bit weird we need a thread specifically for people to self-sooth and we can’t just discuss the matter at hand but that’s just me.

Hoffenheim confirmed it was £40m upfront when the deal was announced.

Gold on any of our kits just feels like someone taking the piss tbh.

I think 40 people is pretty respectable given the circumstances.

As Stiffy has pointed out, and I think as the reaction to NUST’s non-involvement shows, our fans love the idea of a protest just as long as it is exactly what they want and doesn’t actually require them themselves having to do anything. People would be shitting themselves in much the same way had they actually got involved in yesterday.

Out of curiosity how many people kicking off about NUST on here actually bothered their backside to go to the protest?

A sound argument but would it really have been a hardship to do a bit more publicly to promote the protest 

Maybe they could’ve done but I think the protest is pretty inconsequential now. It doesn’t make sense to get so wound up about it. 
 

I’m usually pro-direct action, and I’ve always been a big advocate and participated in the stuff we’ve done in and around the stadium against Ashley. This is totally different though. It’s a legal matter. I don’t think it’s that important.

I have some degree of sympathy with NUST. The reason we’ve had dozens of fan groups over the last decade is that - speaking frankly - our supporters are hysterical children who flip their lid the moment any one of these groups does something that they don’t agree with to the letter. There’s no small amount of it on display in this thread for example.

Someone needs to do the boring stuff. Someone needs to try and liaise with the club, try to get them to improve the match day experience etc. I assume that since the takeover is now in the courts, far beyond the stage where a fan group could influence the outcome, they’ve decided they’re better off focusing on that stuff than wasting time having a massive paddy.

I must be blind. I think the home shirt is canny.
 

Grandad collar and big stripes are a winner for me. The only thing spoiling it is the eyesore of a sponsor.

I’ve seen their viewing figures. I refuse to believe hundreds of people have been asking for this.

It’s definitely Raylor he’s referring to. Stevie T was more likely to lick a TV screen than smash it.

Again, Ben Jacobs is full of shit. Stop reading his tweets. He was all over the BZG takeover in 2019 and said a verbal agreement of £350m was in place and also proof of funds, deal could be completed very soon. He also said the BZG wanted Benitez to stay as manager but that they also had their eyes on Wenger and Mourinho...

How anyone can look at his track record - not just in our takeover(s) - and think he’s anything other than a total gobshite I do not know. Dodgy as fuck.

You can be friends/associates with someone, it doesn’t mean you have the same views as that person 

Give your head a wobble you silly bugger.

The problem with Stone Cold Steve Daftcunt isn’t that he has the same views of Tommy Robinson. He probably doesn’t. It’s that he’s such a shameless self publicist he think it’s fine to platform the dickhead.

Is this the old legal strategy of making as much of a nuisance of yourself as possible in the hope the other side get sick/run out of money?

We really don't need two threads on the takeover imo, positive and negative discussion can happen in the same thread.

It's a bit childish.

It’s mental is what it is.

I’m generally quite positive about the takeover happening eventually, but I think Keith is a massive self publicising bullshitter. In which thread do I belong? Or do I have to split my time equally between the two threads?

If you can’t handle reading opinions that might not exactly align with your own the internet might not be for you.

Definitely some mackems on this thread, who keep voting up each other’s negative posts. 

Let’s not go full RTG.

It’s a Super Soaker full of Fukushima water. At first you think you’re just wet, but give it a decade or two and boom - thyroid cancer.

I could make my peace with gay murdering despots but I draw the line at Tories.

I don't think anyone is looking too much in to it. It's quite obviously tongue-in-cheek.

 

 

Not necessarily on here, but there are definitely chunks of NUFC Twitter that are going to be very disappointed when it turns out NDM is actually just really into sourdough.

“Nick DeMarco is sending me coded takeover messages via the medium of bread” is De Clerambault as fuck lads. It does not reflect well on our fan base that this is widely accepted as fact.

I suspect that Man City and Chelsea aside, they are all in serious financial trouble.  It's a gambit for survival.

Definitely. Perez gave the game away yesterday. They’re scrambling around and if the governing bodies hold their nerves and sanction them as threatened they’ll lose their nerve.

if anybody is shaky on this its Chelsea/Man City they don't need the money and I'm baffled as to why they signed up in the first place they're in it for PR purposes 

A fear of being left behind?

It just takes one or two of the clubs to pull out and the entire thing will fall over IMO.

I swear to God, if they capitulate to these rat bastards...

I’m not sure how they can. The governing bodies are in damned if they do, damned if they don’t territory but giving any sort of meaningful ground on the SL is signing their own death warrants.
