Like everyone else I'm horrified (but not surprised) at what the King has been saying but I'm also disgusted....... disgusted at myself for still going to matches after this treatment of a club legend.  Retrospection is a great thing but that should have been the end of me 'supporting' Ashley's version of NUFC.  St James should have looked like a home game at the SoS from then onwards.  I know everyone has their own 'limit' but Ashley in effect getting away with that gave him the notion he could do whatever the fuck he wanted.

I'm at a complete loss to fathom how the Gonzalez deal wasn't breaking any rules. It was done as a way to get a particular agent a quarter of a million euros from Valencia, and as far as the FA are concerned that's legal? The mind fucking boggles.

I was astounded how clear he wanted to make it that rules hadn't been broken. Surely bribery is bribery?

I'd love to know why it isn't illegal, like. My assumption was always just that they'd jumped through the same loopholes that many other clubs do, including us previously with the amount of useless shite we got through Willie McKay. It's pretty obvious that Ferreyra, Saivet, Doumbia, and possibly Amalfitano fall into the Nacho González category.

Faye and boumsong too?

 

Reading all that it makes me wonder if Rafa even has any say at all in transfers

Course he does, but the players have to be with a certain profile in order for them to be okayed, which is still really shit.

 

Boumsong might have been a favour, but it's a lot less suspicious considering SBR wanted to sign him before Souness did.

I doubt it because I don't for one moment think that Joselu,Manquillo,Muto,Rondon, would have ever been his choice of signing, I know he signed some absolute shit for Liverpool but fuck me these are worse than any of that lot

They were his choice though. Just crucially, they weren't anywhere near his first choice*

 

 

 

 

*Rondon aside, if you believe the club statement :yao:

This extract is discussed in this week's Times podcast if anyone's arsed.

 

Worth bothering with?

 

It's alright, nothing ground breaking.

What did Matt Dickinson say? He's always been one behind the whole Ashley knows best mantra and likes to belittle us where he can.
