Segun Oluwaniyi Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Well, if business has truly concluded, the standard has been set for this season. The goal being nothing more than basic survival to keep the funds coming in. I believe there is enough between the players and the manager currently at the club to achieve that. Of course, the task has been made more difficult than it needed to be. One would think that a season back in the top flight would guarantee legitimate spending, with the ludicrous sums of money clubs in this league are given. If I was sure this was the case, the realities of this window would be to some degree, acceptable. As always, the issue is that nothing is certain at this NUFC, and the previous history here does not lend itself towards optimism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 It's all completely pointless. Even if we end up doing better than expected witht he likes of Merino and Hayden shining they'll all be off. it's all worth absolutely nothing. Man fuck this shit.

Two things Ashley has never given a flying fuck about, and constantly shot down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I think this is the worst transfer window we've had under Ashley. Certainly the one that makes me the most angry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kager Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 So what time do people think the standard "we tried" press release going to come out? Or will the club going back to complete radio silence and pretend that nothing happened? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 So what time do people think the standard "we tried" press release going to come out? Or will the club going back to complete radio silence and pretend that nothing happened? There'll be loads of stories fed to the press about how we resisted the temptation to sell Gayle but absolute silence from the club itself about the window. It'd be incredible if the content writers went rogue and backed Rafa's corner completely though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 If there was an logic to the way this club is run then I'd try hard to see it and reason with it but there's no logical process to this. They've lucked out by having Benitez fall into their laps and still managed to completely fuck it up. There is no reason whatsoever not to back him, little Huddersfield have backed their boss with 4 times as much cash (net), Brighton not far behind them but we've deliberately and purposely decided that £11m is all Benitez is worth. I utterly despise the cunts running this club, they genuinely don't deserve a PL team and a large part of me hopes Rafa walks and we go down and keep going. Absolutely no point in struggling to get promoted only to make funds available to buy half of Demarai Gray. What was the point? Why were we all watching Brighton's games? Why did we bother worrying about Huddersfield's form or penchant for nicking late goals? Why did we worry? Absolutely no point or reason to continue to support this mess or a team or the utter wankers that run it. It's just futile,if ever there was a time to back someone and see us progress it was this window, right now, and we've actively refused to compete. If others want to take the piss then fair enough but I'm taking a step back after today, it's completely pointless to continue to back this lot. If others want to continue to pump money into the club then fair enough, sing your hearts out but I'm pretty much done with them. Fuck them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 So what time do people think the standard "we tried" press release going to come out? Or will the club going back to complete radio silence and pretend that nothing happened? 9am tomorrow morning. Fuck paying the PR team overtime. Will no doubt be told how we "tried", inflated prices meant we couldn't compete and they understand our frustration but it's time to get behind Rafa and the lads. Tickets now on sale for our next home game and some weird cosplay event. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 It's amazing just how blatantly they act the cunt EVERY single transfer window and yet we continue to hope anyway, right to the bitter end. 11m net spend, sweet Jesus H Christ man.

nufc4eva Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Did anyone truly expect we would buck the trend. We are a souless club now with a cunt of the highest order at the top. Absolutely pathetic transfer window and have left the manager without the tools required to succeed. Whatever happens this season I will not place it at Rafa's door Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
