GM Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Everybody knows fuck all. FYP But whatever we do, let's not stop believing each and every negative rumour, no matter what previous experience should be telling us. When was the last time a positive rumour was right? Well I heard a rumour that you positively are a right twat... ...so that's one at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadsword Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Why does he have to take it off the market? I just dont understand his thinking at all. If he wants to sell then leave it on and just run the club like it should be run as if it wasn't for sale. It can still be marketed though. I hate the man for what his is doing to us.

Tsunami Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 There will be a week left in the transfer market. The sale either needs to go through or Ashley takes it off the market. Whichever it is this will allow us to get faces out and 1 or 2 new faces in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it actually means take it off the market but just start actively running the club again i.e. buying crap players and hiring out of touch managers.

ianovthetoon Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 There will be a week left in the transfer market. The sale either needs to go through or Ashley takes it off the market. Whichever it is this will allow us to get faces out and 1 or 2 new faces in. You mean 6 or 7 new faces in dont yer? Exactly. I reckon Lovenkrands will sign, irrespective of who comes in. I still think Sol Campbell would rather play for us as well. I'd love us to go for Beckford, he'd be relatively cheap, and even if we doubled what he'll be on at Leeds it will be a modest Championship Salary. Add 3 or 4 Loans from the Premier League to that and I think there's the makings of a good squad there. We've played some pretty average teams and beat them without playing particularly well. The biggest test we'll come up against early doors will be the game after the international break, away to Cardiff. We'll have pretty much a 2 week break to work with any incoming players, so that will help. Going out the door, I'd offer to buy Geremi's contract off him for 50% of it's value which would make him a free agent, and therefore he'd be able to attract a move elsewhere as his wage demands would be less. That saves about £2M straight away. I find it difficult to believe that the wage bill is anywhere near the £48M bandied about too. Colo and Jonas are supposed to be on ridiculous money, I'm sure I remember reading the complete opposite when they signed. I'm pretty sure they are on nearer £40k per week. Similarly Enrique will be on a similar amount. The only players that will probably now be earning in excess of £50k per week will be Butt, Smith, Geremi and Barton. If Shearer takes over, I'd expect Barton to leave anyway, even if it's just on loan. Pay Geremi off, and take the hit on Smith and Butt as they will be useful in this division. If you take in to account staff that have been paid off too, I reckon the current wage bill will be nearer £40M, still high but far more sustainable if only for a year. I'd still expect Colo and Jonas to be off before the end of the transfer window, and if we can sign Loven and Campbell, we won't be any weaker for this league. Whoever else comes in adds a bit depth, and we've just got to hope that this will put us in a good position coming up to January. If we're riding high in January and we've got anyone but Ashley in charge, I'd like to think we'll add some real Premiership Quality younger players to the team, in order to make sure promotion is more certain. Well I can dream!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I'd probably take Barton over Shearer at the minute, unless Shearer realises how much better Guthrie is than Butt & Nolan, making him an instant starter. Butt and Nolan would probably be Shearers CM pairing and that's enough to tear my eyes out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Ashley and Moat going 50/50, Shearer will get the job as Moat will be more involved in running the club and Ashley will be very hands off. Not an ITK just a thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzle Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 We don't even know for sure Shearer wouldn't use Barton. As for him always playing Butt, I doubt it, how many said he'd never drop Owen? He's not scared to drop any player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beardieman Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 He'll tell us he's cant find a buyer put in a puppet manager, we'll limp through till christmas where we'll be close to the bottom of the league. Then after a boxing day defeat away to Sheffield Wednesday he'll say he's putting the club up for sale and not putting anymore money in. After four weeks he realises that the club aint worth a crock of shit and say there was no bids so he has taken it off the market. Transfer window closes with no new signings and more sales The 7 full time player that remain are asked if they know anyone who fancies a few games and once relagated he announces that he has won his bet to destroy a premier league and the board of spurs are covering all his losses and along with a smirkig Arry Rednap at his side tell all and sundry that he is liquadating whats left of NUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
