This is precisely the sort of shite that makes you nervous knowing Nufc's luck. I mean Staveley's troubles by themselves might not spell disaster but I wouldn't be surprised if MBS woke up tomorrow and decided to disband the PIF to buy 200 superyachts and start a floating country or something. Building a long term self sustaining model is absolutely key.

Have you heard about the tree that could talk but was too afraid to do so It was afraid it would dialogue

When they same its the same problem but a 'fresh' version it only sounds like it was badly mismanaged. The whole injury situation is beyond a joke now. Serious introspection needed even if in the end it's really just bad luck. Get the bloody training ground and other sponsors in now ffs because that's 2 CBs we need in addition to everything else.

Aye I think Carver and Kinnear give him some competition in being the worst manager I've seen but from what I can remember they were at least relatively more likeable as human beings.

What a pathetic sad little man Bruce is. I honestly can't stand to listen to him. Never did when he was manager and certainly wont be clicking on that link now. As Alex said I'm glad it bothers him and it's very plain to him that despite his pals in the media everyone knows he was just a REALLY SHITE manager and a lazy arsehole on top of it. Fitting that he was the final Ashley manager, the night really is darkest before the dawn.

If the toast was from Sunderland you could say it was in-bread captivity

Surely they wont apply retrospectively though? PL clubs cant be daft enough to approve that, especially the likes of Everton and Forrest, they'll want to see Chelsea burn.

Well hang on a bit. It's already been in the media that they might be in some trouble for this financial year, it'll be an interesting summer.

It was probably looking for the bill

So does this mean they wont be coming to the US this summer

Time will tell, but yes as I said between the PL making a mess of it and the very hard to prove assertions I doubt City will be found guilty. The 'cartel' and the manner in which they act is why most of us find City more tolerable than them. By all means continue to hold the top till we sort out FFP and Pep buggers off.

I think he's a good squad option to have when fully fit, especially if we manage to get into Europe again and have the added game next season. But if there's a bid of anything close to $20M, I'd sell for the FFP room of $100M it would open up for us.

Liverpool were so casual at times in that game mind, Klopp's teeth will take a real battering in the dressing room debrief I'm sure. You have to give Man Utd credit for sticking around, when you have a billion pound worth of players all you have to do is stick around and you can get results, its the bare minimum and they do that much at least. It will be typical of them to sneak into 5th and get a CL spot. I just hope Villa and Spurs can muster enough energy to deny them that and put a bit of dent into the finances.

Isn't a big reason for the delay on this the implication that top City officials i.e. Abu Dhabi government have committed fraud? The political/diplomatic connections makes it very difficult for the PL or anyone else to simply reach that conclusion. I think that's ultimately why they'll be cleared, the PL will need to have an extremely strong beyond shadow of doubt type of evidence to be able to stand their ground. Time will tell if they do. But it wont necessarily mean very dodgy stuff hasnt gone on.

That was some watch and hard to decide at time who you'd want to lose but I think it fits in nicely at the end. Buys Ten Hag more time hopefully and nothing better than seeing Klopp's face at the end. Come on City for the league now!

As infuriating as this is all is it's entirely predictable. From Tino being out to the ref being an utter asshole. Can we just end the season and give the players a rest.

Some of the responses on the thread include Darren Bent and Henderson Ok I need to get out of there, can't be spending the whole afternoon laughing at me screen.

I remember Malbranque having some class games for Fulham, was mainly shite by the time he played for the mackems wasn't he and nobody else would have wanted him? Still makes it to the top of their list

It's just difficult to fathom anything positive in terms of results could happen this season. We could beat City here and then go on to lose in the semi or final to some freak error or inexplicable refereeing decision. Tuck the sausages away till the summer imo.

Congratulations to the Fish family! And sorry to hear of your troubles Gloomy and Strawb, really hope there is some good news around the corner for both of you.
