Do BZG strike you as piss takers then? Their statements have been clear and to the point, proof of funds was provided in May, a price has been agreed. Ashley now has to agree to actually sell the club. If it doesn't happen its completely on Ashley.

I think the interest and offer from BZG are genuine. Ashley is unlikely to sell to anyone though. He’s the piss taker, not the Arabs or the media.

Never heard Sebastián Gorka speak before.... from about 2hrs 44mins he gets interviewed by Emma Barnett... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0005m7q

There was a re match clause in this fights contract. Of course there was. Three brilliant heavyweights all with different tv companies. Yeah. Of course.

Spoken like a true contractor For 99.85% of my working life I’d have told them to shove it. I took a job on the books a couple of years back though. Mobile engineer, we cover 2/3rds of SW England. Gloucester at 2am on a call out. Closer to Birmingham This job is 10 mins from home looking after the plant in the local shopping centre. Free parking. As you say the commute is virtually eliminated and plainly they know this is the draw. Cheers. It’s tricky trying to be cunning and subtle after a lifetime of being a loud mouthed gobshite

ATTENTION TT MEMBERS! 😯 I've been offered a job today via email after an interview on Monday. At the interview they asked my salary which I told them: a. my basic b. what I actually earned (6k more than basic ,overtime etc.) They said at interview a. salary is negotiable b. no scope for overtime They've today offered me just under my basic. I'd normally ignore it but I really fancy the job. It's also less holiday by 4 days and I'd have to do every other Saturday (but I wouldn't have to do a week of 24 hour call outs 5 times a year) the lad who's been doing the job has had a van provided because hes been doing a 3 hour commute. I live 10 mins away. Am looking for advice on how to start negotiations. instinct tells me to go high but that might make them go to no. 2 on the list?

This is Troops today sat in a lay by near Ponteland...

Now playing for Defensa y Justicia “Defence and Justice”? 🤔 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defensa_y_Justicia

Fuckin love that cunt Responsible for one of the great lost 80s tracks

They've cooked Ashley's goose with that. If it all falls through its completely and utterly on him.

In my opinion nobody in Westminster has the balls to call it like that. I'm no where near an expert but I cant see it if Johnson is sat in number 10 come August.

No I completely agree with your point of view. I hardly need to post the terms of the referendum to you though do I? How do you suggest a people's vote or some other solution that might deliver sanity gets through parliament?

It's over mate, they've won and they're winning all over the western world. Being on the right side of the see debate is irrelevant. The brexiteers have the power of democracy on their side, regardless of how corrupted it is. I've not really contributed much lately to this thread because I've been of the opinion for some time that if we want a semblance of democracy to survive in its present form we need to leave and that now almost certainly means no deal. Can't see much reconciliation for a good couple of decades untill the present shower at Westminster have exited the stage. Hopefully very much sooner they can take the two main parties with them and consign them to the toilet of history where they belong. Maybe we can then try for some sort of PR. People are at least engaged with the idea that change is necessary

People are perfectly ok with being lied to by proven liars. As long as they agree with the lies they are being told theres not a problem. Were all fucked, as Rents said the other day, its time for each of us to look after ourselves and our loved ones. The message from the gullible to immigrants, NI & Scotland is "tough fuckin shit".

The only concrete thing is Sunday’s statement. Ashley could of course use this to completely fuck Rafa & us over for the next two months without any intention of selling. That’s the same Ashley who rejected three documented bids from Staveley. Any potential buyers are unlikely to be the problem.

Cockney Leyton Orient fan. The two old pricks in the afternoon on talkshite invite him on and he fuckin annihilates Ashley. I like him

Are we saying that Ashley has put a bunch of apparently serious Middle Eastern businessmen up to creating a smokescreen to facilitate a. Rafa leaving when his contract runs out and b. creating enough confusion in the summer transfer window that we do little to no business at all? That, my friends, appears unlikely to me....

I think Twitter journos who are paid in clicks are running this gig. Think I might hibernate till mid August

Cleansing the image of his brutal feudal slave state via the medium of 21st century corporate sports ownership 😊

You do know the odds on you regretting that bold statement are 50/50? These could be worse than Ashley. Am not asking anybody for a modicum of gratitude to be shown to Ashley in any way, shape or form. But I can think of at least half a dozen worse owners than him.
