Well this is a great way to start the week! I think they’re beginning to understand why Donald was such a great success at Eastleigh FC...

Ashley has been very clear since the early days that the club needs to fund itself. If Benitez wants money over and above that I doubt he's going to get what he wants

The magedia strikes again. Kevin Keegan helped with writing that apparently

It makes perfect sense if instead of NUFC you imagine you’re running a small sports shop in maidenhead. Buy cheap, sell high! Don’t buy old stock! Do up the shop next year! Don’t give the staff a raise! Anyone can run the shop!

As we’ve said ad nauseam any transfer budget has to price in cost of wages whereas any player sales ignores the wages saved by the player leaving. So 50 mill is not 50 mill going towards a players purchase cost. It’s not a lot in todays market.

The fact that his contract wasn’t tied up long ago says everything about the way these cunts operate. The best you can say about it is its brinkmanship which is a stupid way to go on with what should a precious asset

Yes Barcelona or the toon. Must be a fucking tough choice

What he really means is he prefers the kids bottom

he usually manages to insult everyone.

Thought I’d cheer everyone up

My base line expectation is that Rafa will leave because we won’t be in to sign anybody decent, including Rondon. There will be a dirty media campaign in the face of fan protests, with unattributed quotes from club sources citing Rafa’s unreasonable demands and implying that he was far too greedy. Everyone from the club will be on holiday for ages. Eventually we will replace Rafa with a hasbeen/wannabee, too late in the day to sign anyone but some free transfers or loanees, with Rafa being blamed for ruining the club’s transfer window. The club will be in the relegation places come xmas at which point Ashley will finally throw some cash at transfers in a bid to stave off relegation and fan protests. Nobody who’s any good will be available or want to sign. A long relegation battle will follow with Rafas replacement being sacked after the transfer window closes and an improvement in results fails to appear. Anything better than this and I’ll be chuffed.

One of them being Charnley

Making it to the L1 play off final is a great achievement for a club of their stature

I’m sure the former chairman of Eastleigh FC has many billionaires queueing up to invest in his latest lower league project with, er, massive potential

Lets hope they haven’t shit on them then

I hope the fucker loses all of it. Then he might sell us

Doesn’t fit the profile. The profile doesnt include being class obviously.

I remember Kenny Everett more than him. I think he ended up being more famous for the hamster headline than anything else. RIP anyway

It probably involves seagulls

If I lived in madrid I would be booking a few days away right now

Yup. Two teams with shithouse supporters with a large dollop of media bias. No doubt it will be a “famous” night. Great.

Pretty obvious him and methven were complete fucking chancers hoping to make a quick buck out of Short’s disastrous exit. Reading RTG is like listening to people trying to convince themselves that the “Nigerian prince” they’ve paid is going to come through with the millions he promised.

I’m not sure what point he’s making. Despite being on their uppers, surely they’ve had more money to spend than anyone else in their division?

I know I shouldn’t find this funny but....the bits where there’s just the bobblehat in front of the camera and silence

I think Mark Hughes is exactly the calibre of manager we can look forward to. Followed by his sacking and an inevitable relegation. Good times.
