Don't all these new buyers have to pass a "fit and proper person" test or something? Not sure it did much good with that Thaksin guy at Man City though

He should stick to peddling his second rate porn

The bits in bold sum it all up for me

Slightly off topic, but.....

Has that Derek Llambias character ever said anything either? You'd think the chairman would have something to say

Noel broke a rib or two according to reports

Nah, Wise took Ashley and the rest of the board out for a drive in it earlier.

Scum, one and all

I'd be more shocked if the NOTW didn't have a paper full of Newcastle exclusives tomorrow

From the Sun, so take it with a pinch of salt....

A lie told often enough becomes truth.

Can't really understand why Ashley wants Barton sacked for being a thug when he is happy to be mates with and employ Wise, a man who attacks taxi drivers and breaks team mates jaws

Wasn't Stevie G's missus supposedly getting some extra curricular activity from the local crime boss? Or did i just make that up?

Interesting piece on Wise from the Times...

Wise won't take the job. He's got more power and influence doing what he does now, and chances are he's on a hefty wedge too.

And it took them 2 hours to come up with that?

Think this was always going to be the outcome, Ashley was always going to back his mates, the poisoned dwarf and the upmarket Peter Stringfellow, over KK, fucking shambolic state of affairs

Barbados or the U.S. apparently. My bet is he's been on fantasy island for about a week. He's got the little butler fella running things at our place as DoF The resemblance is uncanny

Does the strong foundations of Chelsea include the fact they were days away from going bankrupt under Ken Bates? Shit article

Is "ToonArmy" someone from off here? Certainly bitten into McNulty and not letting go Never seen that big liverpool fan McNulty write anything positive about us before, normally too busy wanking over his signed pictures of Stevie G.

Wonder how many premier league managers will go this season because the money men aren't happy with them? Sorry state of affairs.

Another good read, shamelessly thieved from football365...

Good read from Soccernet
