Totalsport has also been terrible last couple of nights. Tonight in particular, basically rolling out the stuff from Samuels article, i.e. why does a rich Saudi ruler need a broker (Staveley) to do the deal for them?

 

And Ando sounds like he doesn't want a takeover to happen - keeps saying... "to catch Man City and Liverpool will take a load of money, and then what will they do... just spend more?" Its almost like he's saying whats the point of a takeover.

 

This followed the journo guest (James Hunter) saying that FFP had reigned in Man City after their early big spending, so it didn't matter what funds a new owner might have, FFP would mean he can't spend it on the team anyway. Again, seeming to be push the 'whats the point' line.

 

Total Sport is a complete waste of time. All their pundits - both Newcastle and sunderland - don't dare criticise their respective club.

This is the effect of the regime, it’s been 13 years of constantly being told that we’re not big enough and not rich enough to compete. We’re just a normal mid table club who just want to stay in the league and that’s more than enough for us thank you very much. No need to dream or hope for better, just sit down, shut up and be grateful we’re in the PL. Know your place and don’t complain, it could be worse, look at Leeds, Bury etc. Scaremongering and the constant drip drip drip of this narrative for over a decade. This is exactly what they want, control over people’s thoughts and opinions via a sustained negative media, driving the club’s status into the dirt. Anderson was bought and paid for long ago, there’s thousands more out there who think exactly the same.

 

This is exactly why we need new owners. Sweep away this shite and build the club to be as big and as good as it possibly could be. That’s all I want.

 

Ex legends desperate not be emulated

Ex players desperate to be relevant and employed

Matchgoers desperate to see the opposition and be seen as loyal

A media desperate for an easy life and minimal access

Fans groups and influencers desperate to be noticed by the club as relevant

 

And that’s before the utter fucking shite running and managing the cunt.

 

God I hate it.

I’d ban him from the ground if I was running the fucker. Give him a stack of programmes to cry into when I told him in person on the pitch at HT after giving him a framed sketch of him piping Ashley off.

 

His worshippers gasping to get a phone interview as voice of the fans on SSN are just as bad. Oooooooooo great vid Pete, you’re such a top lad and great fan. Top lad Pete. Great vid. Top vid Pete. Pete.

 

:lol: :lol:

thats not an unreasonable point considering ffp was brought in pretty much to try and stop a repeat of a man city/psg and anything else that might threaten the current big clubs lofty perch

 

Football is corrupt to the core and FFP will go out the window if these blokes start chucking money around.

Hunter is the Sunderland reporter at the Evening Brucicle so that’s no surprise.

 

He's that oddball who got super offended when Sol Campbell called the mackems out for giving him loads of racist abuse. Campbell got the date a bit wrong and so Hunter was all 'ahhh, so we arent racist cos you said 1998 instead of 1996!"

 

Basically, hes the journalist equivalent of an FTM hashtag. Ignore.

Ando's a fucking walking corpse. Devoid of any human emotion that man. His commentary is good if your struggling to get to sleep.

 

He's an absolute idiot, always has been. Wouldn't say he was devoid of emotion though. Loved a bit of Pardew and loved getting angry at Perez's inability to hold off three men.

Your first mistake was listening to brexit radio

 

Totalsport is on BBC Newcastle, although...

 

Haha Talksport. Fuck.

Guest The Little Waster

From Newsweek :

Prince Andrew

 

It was in 2001 that Staveley first met Prince Andrew when she gave him a tour of the Science Park. The following day, Prince Andrew invited Staveley out for dinner and secretly proposed to her in 2003, according to British newspaper The Daily Telegraph. But the engagement is said to have been broken off due to the amount of media attention that would come with being the second duchess of York

 

Feckin Nora , theres a nonce angle to all this

Tyre kickers, lets just stick with Bruce's flat back 7 and let Ashley steal all our assets and drain the very life out of the club for another 13 year.

I trust George Caulkin and he says price etc is agreed just some minor details left and it’s up to Ashley now. Amanda Staveley front figure but the Reuben brothers also heavily involved. No side happy about the leak.

Apart from the obvious reasons such as profit and free advertising of SD by owning the club, it's now like an obsession for Ashley to not sell us and keep making this drama on an annual basis. It's mind boggling.

Bet there’s not even a whiff of a, ‘Get out of our club’ on Saturday.

 

Man U fans are firing flares at Ed Woodwards house, and our lot will be wondering what their problem is.

 

99% of our fanbase have fucking Stockholm syndrome man

It’s all relative though. Give them our situation what would they do. Part of me thinks fair played to them but there’s no way their situation is anywhere near as bad as at Newcastle so it seems like an overreaction last night.

 

Or have we been pummelled into submission..
