Howay

It’s a fair point about the PL being boring mind, I’d probably feel similar if 7th was the highest my club had ever finished also Sunderland must have been exhilarating to watch last season.

Its from years of this conversation on their holidays: ”I’m from Sunderland marra... North East of England... no, not near Manchester, the other side... it’s near Newcastle.... no I’m a mackem... a mackem.... yeah I’m a Geordie”. So they must be fucking buzzing to talk to people that have heard of Sunderland.

They can’t honestly believe anyone would fall for this. What even is the purpose? Get us to say we’re jealous of a League One side and their owners who have less money than most of our playing staff? What happened to only the Premier League mattering? Also, League One is barely on television. The rest of the post makes no sense whatsoever, so we’re supposed to be jealous of Sunderland as they have the ‘opportunity’ to piss League One and the Championship? That just gets them to where NUFC is right now . Fwiw Sunderland won’t be pissing anything, they’re utter shite, have a shite manager, and a playing staff that is massively haemorraging money but feel free to turn a blind eye to all of that because one of your owners said he doesn’t like Newcastle.

Maybe but if they got promoted it’s likely they’d want him the most and will pay a good fee for him. I’m more bothered about Villa and Bruce staying in the Championship than worrying there’s too many London sides.

Aye, also Huddersfield and Brighton both outspent us this season iirc and have never had access to PL money, they must be a financial state. I know these dodgy books say we had both their wage bills put together and doubled or something insane like that (sorry like but no way did our wage bill jump £40m from the prior PL season) but they must both be massively hurting to get this PL money paid out if anything slap head is saying is close to the truth.

I think it’s fucking hilarious. They’re an unfashionable club that are irrelevant, they’ve done nothing of note during the Premier League era (further back than that too but you get the point), why the fuck would they think anyone gives a fuck or has a soft spot for them? They’ve never been known for playing good football, or exciting football, or had players who were good to watch, they’re just fucking shite. They rip us to bits for being delusional yet they are still comparing their League One club to a Premier League side and think that everyone has a soft spot for them (which to me is the new intangible thing they win at as ‘classy club’ is out, it’s also an attempt at ‘winning’ over the everyone’s second favorite club tag we had under Keegan). Sad cunts man, I hope they stay down there as it’s quite honestly where that utter shithole of a town belongs.

Because Villa fans celebrated us going down in 2009, they also have the odious John Terry. Ignoring those two reasons Mitro is playing for Fulham, and they play good football.

Cracking pass by Sessegnon. Fulham play some great stuff

Exactly, all he has to do is come out with stuff like that and they’ll lap it up. Again though I keep saying they need to stop bringing us up, we are two leagues above them they should focus on their rivals like Accrington Stanley, Burton Albion, etc. It’s definitely an attempt at a dig, fuck knows who would get annoyed by it like. It bothers me as much as poocastle does, it’s just a bit pathetic really.

Oh aye we are absolutely everything to them, I just find it fucking hilarious that I can with complete confidence say them comparing themselves to us is delusional. I find it funny that they still try and claim they are everything to us as well. While I post a lot about them I didn’t watch a single one of their Championship games, I know for a fact basically all of their forum can’t say the same about our PL season nor our Championship one.

Why are they comparing themselves to NUFC and Rafael Benitez? They’re a League One side, they are a million miles away from the type of club we are. To say otherwise is completely delusional.

Aye that is exactly it. Fucking divvies.

What a fucking shambles they are. They’ll no doubt be buzzing with these appointments, yet STILL can’t understand how we get excited about Rafael Benitez managing us. Going off the ridiculousness of their appointments I’m impatiently awaiting the reveal of Mr Blobby as chief scout/bus driver/club secretary (they need to graft since the debt free club is in a financial hole). I think one of the best parts about all of this is every time they do something shite like: have an owner with a tenner to his name, appoint the fucking St Mirren manager, and Samson the cat as their Manager and DoF combo, they immediately start acting like Newcastle fans will be gutted/fuming/jealous

They really are unbelievable. They’re fucking obsessed with trying to link everyone and anyone to their shit club. They need to get their heads around the fact their club is shite and unfashionable. It’s not a big brand club that draws interest. There are not secret groups of MLFs out there. Bobby Robson was an NUFC fan, he did go to watch Sunderland games as the man lived and breathed football and he no doubt preferred to see them do well as he loved the NE so much but he was a Newcastle fan. They call us obsessed and then prattle on about stuff like this. Michael Martin ffs, who gives a toss who he supports? It’s obviously NUFC but either way I personally don’t give a fuck.

The only response to all of that is fuck off. Teams with ambition don’t have a squat ugly bald shrew of a man come out and talk about how it takes time, they just go out and show they have ambition. This fat horrible cunt has owned us for a decade and in that decade he has shown fuck all ambition, why the fuck would this little creep think anyone would believe that load of twaddle he’s been wheeled out to say. It’s also no good going on about living within our means and acting like the fans are unreasonable when you’re fucking manipulating the numbers to show us in a weaker position than we are. Honestly this lot are boring. They can’t keep banging on about sustainability when they’re the ones that take fucking suicidal risks when we are in positions of comfort and strength. They’re going on like keeping Rafa and some players on to try and bounce back up means we should all bow down to them, most clubs that get relegated do similar, it’s a football club you should aim to bounce up. Also, if you had actually stepped up and fired Steve fucking McClaren and his hair island before January (at the latest) rather than cowering under the desk the club wouldn’t have been relegated. I can’t wait for the day Ashley and his little pet rat sling their fucking hooks and the club is rid of them. What a pair of fucking helmets, why even release a statement like that? They can’t honestly believe anyone would lap that shite up.

https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/john-terry-could-extend-aston-villa-stay-with-deal-that-allows-him-to-miss-chelsea-games.1431962/ They’re booting off about Terry’s (albeit fucking ridiculous) clause and are calling Villa small time, while true, these mutants support a club that helped Terry perform one of the most pathetic displays many of us have seen on a football pitch. You can’t get much more small time than them participating in that, especially as we all know the reason they did it was (as fucking always) to try and be a part of something (see them doing the Poznan to Man Utd fans after City won the title, despite Man Utd beating them for another example). Honestly man, they are the smallest time club around imo so they are probably the only fan base that can’t judge Villa for this. Genuinely hope this mooch that’s took them over finishes the job and ends that virus of a club.

They’re a combo of those, in League One and financially unstable. They have an owner who is groveling around Monaco for help ffs.

Fucking hell this really does get better by the day.

I’ve no idea how they can be confident of promotion when their team has been averaging something like 6 wins for the last two seasons, add to that DK’s points that they have no idea what the make up of their squad will be or even who the manager is.

I had to take a look and they’re fucking buzzing. After that Methven gave some very typical sort of lines “good club that’s been losing far too much over the last 10 year, have to get everyone facing the same direction” they’re all in love. They bang on about our fan base being sucked in after someone says the right thing ffs. One even proclaiming that this bloke knows Short and that they should all just imagine if Short had brought this bloke in rather than Bain, De Fanti, etc he’s said one thing ffs, there’s absolutely no evidence whatsoever he’s any better than them. They also all keep saying stuff about how these blokes will know tons of other rich people to get investment in as they climb the leagues, when the fuck does that happen? They’ve got these two chancers who cannot afford to actually buy the club, that’s who they have, making up ridiculous stuff about foreign investment or “ooooh but these two KNOW people” all football owners know other rich people it’s not something that’s unique to Del Boy and Boycie. It’s also still funny that they’re trying to make the fact this Methven is some type of PR bloke an amazing thing for them. They honestly think Short didn’t have PR people, or that their club didn’t have PR staff? It means absolutely fuck all, which in footballing terms is precisely the net worth of these two carpet baggers.

That’s fucking magic. So he has absolutely no fucking plan at all. All this news is actually better than him getting it for free imo as it all points to the fact this bloke is a complete Del Boy Trotter. If it all goes tits up he will pay the parachute payments to Short (which let’s be honest is what he’s going to use to pay Short anyway as him and his mate don’t have that) and try and palm it off onto someone else.

Aye, at the stage he is in his career I’d imagine he’d be more of a sub/rotation option. Which of course would be good but there’s fuck all chance of us paying the sort of wages he’d no doubt be wanting if that was the role he’d have.

It sounds a little bit like the treatment of an asset held for sale except I can’t see how it would work with wages (since they’re an expense and I know when a fixed asset is held for sale it’s remaining depreciation isn’t immediately expensed). Since I don’t think the wages of the contract are capitalized (this is where I might be incorrect and where the asset held for sale treatment might be this) the only immediate write off for an asset held for sale would be the impairment, which in Colbacks case would be the remaining amortization since he’s what can only be defined as a ‘worthless cunt’. The other point here is was Colback ever being amortized since he was free? I suppose it could be his signing on fee and any agent fees, but I doubt there’d be much remaining. I suppose there would also be players like Haidara, Saivet, etc that could all have been treat this way but I still can’t see it being a significant amount. Overall I’m not sure how this would work as I can’t see how you’d be able to immediately write off the remaining expense of a contract in the current period as they’re not period expenses even if the ‘asset’ is no longer intended for use.

The accounts were 6 weeks overdue as well. I know the fine is negligible but it just shows the disorganization.

Absolutely. As you say the creative players all carry a little bit of risk, so he’s just bottled making any sort of decision on it. It’s fucking absurd and is exactly why a bloke like Southgate shouldn’t be in the job. He’s basically taking 10 defenders in a 23 man squad (if you count Delph and Young), you don’t need that level of cover for a squad that’s likely going to play 3-5 games ffs.
