He’s already had it Show off

How could UEFA ever allow it? Can’t own 2 clubs that could potentially play each other??

No movement or urgency on throw ins

Depends if they are made of straw or have big balls

I like insigne , he can ‘spray’ the ball about

Won’t be getting mugged if he serves his purpose and helps keep us up We have to sign a few players that do not have much or any sell on value after doing a job / serving a purpose Team has to be a blend of experience and Youth Something Ashley didn’t grasp or want to grasp

Yeah and that’s just the tip of the ice …..

I have huge faith after how long they have waited to buy the club seem like they also understand the fans and want to understand the area Exciting times

Regardless of Rumours / Hot Air /Hear Say We will find out soon if the consortium are the real deal and if they seriously want us to become a force in football Not talking about crazy signings but enough to ensure our safety, maybe 3 or 4 signings.

Seeing a lot of talk with Deli Ali , Nathan Ake Both are playing quite a bit , not just unused subs so can’t see either happening

If we don’t - go all out would that suggest this takeover isn’t (big money) and the plan is to invest but very low key / sensible ? letting the club sink into the championship means that they are sticking to a low key budget plan - eg 50 million per season and not going all out to stay in the premier league you would think - staying up and investing quite heavily would be key to the plan and a sign of intent to follow either way it’s going to be very interesting, I am “all for” any slither of hope ive always said I will back anyone that gives it a go , and shows intent to improve regardless of how much they spend under Ashley it was the opposite , it was all about him/ all about how much he could gain / all About promoting his brand / the football club was irrelevant

I really hope we show some early intent , all of this hot air / rumours / etc will all become evident in January and give us an idea if PIF / Consortium are serious players

Rumours our first January signing will be announced on Christmas Eve / Friday 3pm ?? ?

Also we could argue that these pathetic anti competitive rules will hinder us competing in the champions or Europa league ? how is it fair sponsorship has to be capped in the premier league but not in other European countries surely we are hindering all premier league teams ?? For me it’s like trying to cap wages and telling who we can and can’t sign surely it’s up to the each individual club to see how much sponsorship they can get in / how much cash they can generate from every avenue ?? its no one else’s business ??

I don’t see any issues here if we get sponsored by a PIF related company it’s goes to an independent panel and we can get fair market value (which we can argue should be amongst the top in the premier league) reasons - We are now the richest club in the world and nearly every company involved with PIF would love to be associated with a team with such potential , TEAM on the rise , future champions league , chance to have their business/company shown all over EUROPE/MENA regions Of its Saudi state sponsors - We have already proved separation , so no need to again ? Also we can employ the best lawyers going and will do.

Left back is first priority

Yes I get the same feeling , However I also hear sound bites from PIF hierarchy that we are a team that will no doubt compete at the top end at some point and in their words (serious competition) I think the structure is set up for a slow build but I have a feeling now and again (if the opportunity arises) they will not be able to resist a few trophy (wow) signings to prove a point.

Not mates, but spoken with him a lot through work over the last 4-5 years. He was fantastic whilst working with the England youngsters and doing very well at Brighton on a very very tight budget. As soon as the takeover went through I was hoping we would ask him and a few of us were saying he would be the perfect appointment. Dan and Eddie Howe get on really well too.

It will be a fantastic appointment

Dan Ashworth won’t be looking in the bargain bin don’t worry Players like Danny Welbeck etc

Dan Ashworth is the perfect appointment Wait and See

Do they make it is as they go along ? can’t be a foul in the box if the other team has the ball ???

Also - 100% stone wall pen

I still would rather watch us giving it a go (like we have under Howe in all games so far) than watching Bruceball

I agree but we have a piss poor squad 14 years of neglect
