Howay

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.

Maybe Rodwell could loan him some money to help the bloke show he has the backing. This wealthy Spanish contingent should step forward soon!

Didn’t they rate Moyes as better than Benitez when he first took over? They fucking wonder why we see them as obsessive shite talkers. I’ve no doubt Rafa will try and use this as leverage over Ashley so expect there to be a lot more coverage of this link. Rightfully so mind as Ashley is being a ridiculous cunt as usual, just be open with the bloke and set him a transfer budget that is truthful and is actually stuck too.

Can’t see him going to West Ham, it’s further from his family, the club is in a rank spot with the stadium, and he’ll feel he has a strong bargaining position at NUFC due to the esteem the fans and players hold him in (obviously that might not count for much with Ashley). He’d basically have to build all that back up again at West Ham. Everton is obviously a non starter as it’s likely damage his relationship with Liverpool, and he’s belittled Everton in comments in the past. The only way I see him leaving is if he gets completely sick of Ashley and can’t see himself carrying on, or a far bigger club comes in for him that he feels is worth disrupting his family life for. Funny that the mackems have a 20 page thread about this btw, I thought he was fucking shite? It’s odd that they can’t wrap their heads around why we hold Rafa in such high regard yet they’re borderline obsessed with a fat, arrogant, bully who was at their club about 10 month had them 2 points off the drop and fucked them off immediately. I actually saw comments where mackems were saying Benitez’s style of football is exactly the same as Allardyces, with that complete lack of understanding of the game of football you can see why they rate Allardyce in the face of literally every shred of evidence pointing to how wank he is.

Fucking shambolic. I genuinely have no idea how Phil Jones gets capped, the bloke is a fucking nightmare.

I just remember the fat cunt going down the steps from the stand as he’d started sat on his sofa with the tvs around him and his headset on. The abuse he got on his way down was class. What a fucking twat he is man.

Exactly. See Newcastle on Facebook put up a post saying Jonjo hasn’t received a PL booking in 2018. It’s just a convenient excuse because Southgate would have no idea what to do with him tactically.

I’ve always thought he did that for show anyway, so that if anyone called him a dinosaur he could point to these modern techniques he’s using. The reality is it’s a further drain on clubs he leaves as they have to get rid of a really extensive and unnecessary back room staff.

Evertons statistics are grim since he took over. They’re 19th or 20th in the league for things like shots, shots on target, chances created etc iirc. They brought him in to stave off relegation, and he’s accomplished that so he sees it as a job well done. The issue is they panicked about relegation far too soon and it shouldn’t have been about bringing in a ‘firefighter’ manager. He came in and managed them as if they were the weaker side every match. He’s now driving Rooney (who iirc is their top scorer) out of the club, for no real reason other than Rooney sees him for what he is. As others say there’s a reason this bloke is disliked everywhere he has been. He points to the fact clubs usually go down when he leaves them as if it means it was him keeping their head above water but the reality is he fucking annihalates teams, riddles squads with utter cloggers who can only play one way and it’s a fucking mess when he leaves. If Everton don’t get shot of him ASAP their ownership is fucking mental.

Agreed, it’s ridiculous to me that Mawson has had a call up and Lascelles hasn’t. Mawson who plays in a very leaky back line, over Lascelles who has been the stand out player in a defence that has conceded less than Arsenal.

Agreed, the daftest part is him (in his mind) not taking a risk by taking Shelvey is taking a large risk imo as he’s kneecapping his squad by having a bunch of CMs who play very similar roles.
