Indeed, players who were perfectly capable last season

Trump/Johnson 101

Seems a pretty good summation of Trump

He used to be good and insightful, so much so that he got banned at one stage I think, but now he seems to be an apologist for the regime. Must really like Bruce.

That'll never catch on

The bottom line with Ashley is that he wants to make money. He only wants to sell the club when it can't make money (e.g. after relegation) or when someone is willing to pay way over the odds. When Staveley wanted to buy a couple of years ago, she, being appropriately business-like, did her due diligence and offered a price based on the club's risky position. She was a time waster because she was unwilling to pay over the odds. Now, when someone is apparently willing to pay the sale price (or thereabouts), there is less risk of relegation and he will now want much more, and when the goalposts have been moved again, this "takeover" fails, he will blame Staveley again for being a time waster. The only time waster is him, because he wants to be and does not really want to give up his golden goose. I think he will be here for many years yet, because there is no deal which he will be willing to do. Even relegation won't make him sell, because he won't get his investment back. Only a long time in the lower divisions will lead to him giving up, and I am not sure I can really wish that on my club.

And wasn't he his main target earlier in the window? Does our head coach have any real say? The title (and actions) suggest not.

Bloody Kiwis, always showing the rest of the world up

Not stopped him taking an absolute fortune out of the EU for years as an MEP. Has absolutely no redeeming features at all and hopefully that is the last we ever hear from him or see him - but I very much doubt it as he is a publicity whore.

For once, they may actually be right

But Brexit means Brexit!

Sign him up!

They're the only ones you are likely to meet in Manchester

Must know what's going on then

Nothing like hedging your bets

Tell the mackems!

Be interesting to see where his loyalties really lie in that case

Stop that

Probably £10m for the player and £30m in wages (for him and everyone else), bonuses (as if), agent's fees, staff working in the ticket office (if there are any or even if there is a ticket office at all), the tea lady's pittance, and Cashley's profit.

Couldn't happen to a nicer twat!

I think he is likely to win again (just imagine the tantrum if he doesn't - although his meltdown will be fun to witness) because I am not sure the Democrats have a viable candidate yet. It will be a big blow if they do win, but it will probably bring the hillbillies out in even greater numbers, and I anticipate that Government will grind to a halt in the Senate, as opposed to the House, which is the current case. Either way, not going to get better anytime soon, I fear

Rarely does

Because it hasn't started. It will end up being £16 billion.

FYP

You're just jealous. Of the siestas, of course, not the boyfriend ...
