Hey marra

I honestly am starting to wonder if Milan even have the money to buy him. It’s starting to seem like they are using the media to try and strong arm him into wanting to join them, hoping he rejects us, and then they can discuss a lower fee with Lille. With us in the picture Lille won’t reduce the fee. Have Milan even ever bid for Botman despite us being told about 200 times by Italian Journalists that he’s basically signed for them? If we gazump ya fucker AC Milan this early in the ‘project’ that’s insane . I even saw a mackem on twitter say “Milan are going to beat yas to a player” as if that’s a fucking slight , the fact we are actually in the picture and it seems to be tipping our way in a deal against the Italian champions who are also AC fucking Meeeelan is bonkers - a year ago we wouldn’t pay £850k for Hamza Choudrey on loan.

I mean is there much point in this?

Used the mackems as a stepping stone?

One more year before we get some serious, and I mean SERIOUS, strongly worded articles from journalists who definitely won’t have been in Qatar.

The blokes making out like he has the inside track to such a point that he knows what contracts players are being offered, yet wants to pretend this was a move completely out the blue .

Yeah, I think there was a year - maybe two left on the deal. I think there’s a ban coming on betting sponsors anyway. Another big win for the ITK crew.

Good signing, canny player who did well last season - the focus for spending looks to be elsewhere. Surprised as I thought since it was so delayed they were looking elsewhere, maybe they were and didn’t fancy any of the deals over this one or were waiting for Ashworth coming in.

It doesn’t sound that great Isaac.

I’ve not seen it but I saw somewhere that it was deemed a German player intentionally played the ball backwards which Kane ended up getting. Weird that this basically never is discussed but we’ve had it in the CL final and again today.

The Italian media seem a bit odd, it feels like whenever the Botman to Milan deal looks close (and others start to report it as such) after days of Italian sources saying it, they then seem to put out that Milan is backing away for whatever reason. Not sure why but they seem to have done it with Botman a few times already.

If you’re reading it that way, I’d say players like Krafth, Shelvey, Murphy, Fraser, and others were “alright” but yeah Wood was shit. I think if a forwards best contribution for a season was to be a lump that basically brought the ball down on long punts forward and did it as effectively as the forward for the worst side in the league, then nah I don’t think he’s alright.

Esteemed company with that stat. Personally I think he’s a heap of shite. He helped keep us up, but his finishing is fucking criminal - I hope I don’t have to see him play much in future unless it’s against us.

Maybe this is all a clever set up by ZZ Top so that in comparison to fraudulent Crypto LLC his initial investment of 50p and a bag of space invaders will have the mackems buzzing.

“Our transfer budget will be based on our Crypto, so we have a budget of £100m… Oh now £1m… yep back to £20m…. A fiver… actually we’re now bankrupt”

Barely had a fortnight of dreeeemin for UAE ownership (new found principles right out the window). Since the owners aren’t clear I’m going to guess it’s Donald Stewart and Methven Charlie, suspiciously similar looking to their current owners but have facial hair so can’t be them marra.

They’ve done it about 4 times at this point, works everytime too. They had the Dell takeover (well a fund that Dell has a minority passive investment in), then the two trust fund boys buying minority stakes in the club, while making a big deal that they look to increase their stakes (why not just buy it outright?). There’s also Storey’s madness which their fans seem to love, and probably others over the last half a decade.

First Elton John, and now Ed Sheeran. How will we ever get over the superstars flocking to the Stadium of Litter?

Fresh out the microwave.

Wonder who at the Telegraph did that transfer round up.

Not open until June 10th. I honestly don’t think it’ll be that hard to offload them, it’s just Edwards being a tedious bellend as always. Teams were more than happy to take Hendricks, Clark, Lewis, Gayle, etc on loan, there will be plenty takers on permanent deals. Perhaps we have to foot some of their wage so they’re earning what they did on our books, but that would still clear a large portion off the wage bill.

Honestly looking back that Sambuca team dinner is fucking hilarious. “You can have anything off the menu boys, just don’t add any bacon or cheese to anything as that’s an extra quid”. What a total cunt Ashley is

Yeah, that’s my assumption from what the statement said. He’d be more involved with recruitment, policy, staffing with others in charge of planning and building stadium/training ground improvements. I assume he’d have input into what they need at the training ground though.
