can't keep the fucker out of wetherspoons I heard.

Lionesses play at sol but: 🙂

NEW FWIEND!

I think £100m is fair tbh - I also don't see anyone paying that right now so unless he returns to form we should be pretty safe. It'll likely be down to our wage structure more than anything, that we had to put it in. i.e. he's accepted a lower amount than he may have wanted and so has this as a back door. We might just need to get used to this sort of thing.

Anyone guess where I'm off to in a couple of hours time? That's right! Whitley Bay to pick the bairn up from work.

What’s even worse with S&W is that they used to have one of those obnoxious “WE WOULDN’T DARE SHOW FOOTBALL HERE” stances to suddenly putting the games on when they realised how many people were going in The Gunner to watch us play. So even they can get under the Mackems skin and they don’t really know what’s going on other than trying to piggyback on viral Newcastle nonsense

Didn't we buy him for 35? 100 is great tbh.

Given they’d comfortably beat both us and Milan I’m surprised it bothers them.

No idea why but this made me think of a scenario where CT squeezes fresh orange juice using the apex of his cone. Maybe as a peace offering to the Brentford fans.

Fucking Brentford man . Good finish. The Saturday family picnic crowd will have had their first course of cheddar and pickle sandwiches ruined by that. They’ll be so cross at the Everton half of their half and half scarves. Maybe they can sing Hey Jude again like a bunch of tragic cunts.

Happy with this, that release clause is very high tbf there’s only been a very small handful of teams ever to have paid it and it’ll have to be £100m cash upfront which I would guess basically none of the £100m deals were. It’s a Real Madrid clause iyam, I doubt he’d go to Chelsea or Man U. Also, if someone did give us £100m we’d have insane FFP spending power.

The Geordie Nirvana

Essentially The Mackems seem to be actively looking for things to froth over at this point

Mild piss taking to cause a Mackem meltdown - YES!

"Couldn't find Brentford fans. Walked into a Millwall bar instead."

CT walks in a bar in Brentford and they all put their heads down thinking NUFCs top boy has steamed in. 'he looks pwopa nawty, that noocarsul fan.'

Frank would have broken out the paper and quill to complain again the hipster cunt

VAR nearly disallowing a goal by looking at the wrong offside.

Brentford answer the mild harumphs growing from the home crowd. Maybe offside though. There might be more letters wrote over this.

I thought this was gonna be @PaddockLadunhappy at a recent photo with him and his bairn! Great news anyways. Not worried about the clause at all.

The clause will come with stipulations such as the money up front but but it’s also likely to only be valid for a certain part of the window. It’s like when Moyes bought Fellaini for Man U he had a release clause but it was only valid until a certain date which was missed and they ended up paying more a few weeks later.

I also think the clause would give Bruno a feeling of control, having the owners we have I imagine as a player you’d feel lacking control due to the fact they could turn down basically any amount offered without blinking. Even with a clause as high as £100m upfront it gives him knowledge that if a team met that he could discuss.

That’s a fucking menu. Whereas their actual football club put adverts up in ‘Ponteland Airport’ trying to to take the piss out of us for being in the Championship when they were in the Premier League.

They’d need to offer £100m cash upfront though and there’s no way Liverpools offer was that (if it actually happened), it would have been over years of payment. We also don’t know the terms, it could be non English sides only, or only active if we aren’t in Europe for a season or two etc. I agree with Toonotl in that it protects us from any Real Madrid style tactics since we’ve now got an agreed upon fee of £100m up front. As sad as I’d be to see him go a £70m or so profit for FFP would allow us to spend a fucking fortune. If it was as you say for if we miss CL this year that would more than overcome missing out for a season.

On the flip side, it would seem that selling a player for 100m would open up a lot of funds to buy players with the way fees are amortised over the terms of the contract for incoming and instant for outgoings. I'd expect we'll see a young 6 in the coming summer window to bolster the position in case Bruno comes to be viewed as more of a saleable asset.

Fair point. Conversely, Sheffield United apparently struggle with crosses into their box, and have conceded most goals that way. I’ve been struck by how few crosses we’ve attempted in recent games - mainly due to inverted wingers and full backs who don’t overlap. Even tripper, though he’s capable of overlapping and putting a ball in, has tended to play the ball inside instead. It could be a game for Hall and Livramento in that sense. He’s going to have to rotate the defence at some point with all these games coming up, but maybe those changes come against Man City

The fucking state of that. They didn’t even bother cutting out the random bloke from 1983 sitting there for the first four seconds. Poor Tony missing the San Siro, those days are long gone now.

It is 2 and a half pages long you fraud.

I got one of them emails the other day saying basically “we hacked your mainframe, and have a video of you tossing off to porn. We will release this to everyone you know in 2 days if you don’t pay us 6000 euros etc..” I asked them if they would do it straight away and never heard anything. More people need to see it

Another thing about Bruce is that he’s had a long managerial career where he’s basically shown less interest, less commitment and has had less success the more it has gone on. The game has progressed and left him in its wake. His overall record is unimpressive as it is, but anything he has to say is rendered even less relevant due to its downward trajectory in its latter years.

Well that’s a low bar to be set All I’m saying is that there were the four lasses in SClub7, and she was the 7th prettiest

Were a top team now and should be keeping a better eye on our lads. Will be updating this thread regularly, feel free to add

What a fucking shit thread. No surprise given the thread starter.

“it’s going to take more than one wine spritzer to calm down from this one, am I right gang?”

You feeling okay mate? You’re being a bit too positive at the mo.

I’ve been a few times with the family so if you want any tips on where’s good just ask.

I mean, if Chelsea want to break his release clause but give us £150m for him so they can pay in instalments I’d say crack on. I do think he’s committed to us. And if we qualify for the champions league again I think he’ll be happy to stay on but he’s keeping his options open in case we drop away this season. Perfectly understandable from his point of view. It’s a short career and he’s about to hit peak age. £100m up front would give us plenty of FFP headroom. It would be the first time we’d have sold one of our best players since the takeover though. He looks an absolute steal at £35m, or whatever it was we payed for him, in today’s market. I think handing control over to the player and the buying club is the thing which bothers me most.

It will be Saturday/Tuesday/Sunday though, which is a lot of minutes for Bruno, Botman, Triiper, Schar etc

My obese parrot died today, sad news but its a huge weight off me shoulders

His time’s up.

what a time to be alive

Just got scam called by "O2". Thoroughly enjoyed it. He starts with "As you are such a loyal customer, we're going to give you 30% off your next bill. Sounds good?" "Sounds amazing." "How much did you pay on your last bill?" "You tell me, you're O2." "*10 seconds of silence*" "Hello dickhead?" Then he hung up. I'm with Plusnet Mobile
