The ‘boycoutt’ was an online shouty campaign, with one march on a shop.  I doubt the majority were aware that there was one, and if they were weren’t going to pay more to get their kids PE clobber in order to get warm fuzzies and internet kudos.

 

For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t shop in his stores and refused to return to SJP - but I can’t condemn people in the poorest region of Grear Britain for wanting to buy sports gear as cheaply as they can. It feels like the middle-classes having a pop for the working-classes for not ensuring everything they buy is organic, whilst being blissfully unaware of what really having to budget looks like. 

I was just thinking along the lines of jumping ship to a retailer competing at the same level. You can't be shopping there as a Toon fan, it's gruesome

I know we have come good in the end but that Mansour takeover offer will always bother me. We could have Haaland playing for us right now and a boatload of recent trophies if Mike fucking Ashley didn't decide to get shit faced ffs [emoji38]

If it makes you feel better it’s all bollocks. They bought Man City before Keegan resigned and Ashley was trying to sell.

That's what's bollocks. Keegan's presence not lack of was the point of interest.

They brought Keegan in to raise the value of the sale "the Arabs wanted Kevin".

They messed them around and they bought Man City from a motivated seller that wasn't pissing them around.

Haha brilliant man, Bring him back 

Only good thing he ever did for me.  Always found it interesting that Kinnear was no more of a dinosaur than Bruce yet got treated very different from him by the press.

 

I’d bring him back for press conferences only.

“Which one of you is Luke Edwards?”

 

You’re right though re Bruce. He was ridiculed whereas they make Bruce out to be some kind of modern day Mother Theresa.

Agreed to let Coventry play in his stadium for 5 years.

I mean what the fuck would he do with a stadium without a team to play there in anyway? Might as well have bought the Reynolds arena in Darlington.
