Annnndddd..... he's gone.. Kim Darroch resigns as UK ambassador to US after leaked Trump comment https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/jul/10/kim-darroch-resigns-as-uk-ambassador-to-us-after-leaked-trump-comment?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Copy_to_clipboard

Can anyone see Ashley paying to get another teams manager?

12 years of lies from Ashley but it’s BZG’s fault he’s not sold to them?

I didn’t watch this time after the last car crash. We watched a mock the week from seemingly 3 weeks ago and a half watched episode of Vera Lots of this, apparently confirmed by TT’s Chief Political Correspondent ewerk

This is where I am. Having said that Steve Bruce is 10/3 Mourinho was 20s last week but is now 5/1 in places....there's apparently a lot of money gone on him...

Smashing. Under what circumstances is there likely to be a public vote though? Would he have Labour campaign for Remain at a GE? 🤔

Next stage of the coup d’etat.... https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/jul/07/leak-of-uk-ambassadors-us-telegrams-plays-into-wider-power-struggle We’re being had from all sides here like. No fuckers sticking to any unwritten rules, guidelines or customs any more.

It’s almost as if some of you lot are expecting someone better to turn up

I’m not trying to have an argument, I’m pointing out that you appear to think a desperate signing of a journeyman player isn’t indicative of a wider problem at the club ie Mike fuckin Ashley. In some ways I’ve always thought Ashley being owner basically absolves most of the players of any sort of accountability. This isn’t a conventionally run top flight club. It’s an advertising hoarding for a chain of shitty shops with some highly inconvenient football tagged on to the side. That’s why Joselu gets a pass.

Name another player over the age of 25 who in the last 3 seasons who a. Cost 5 million or less b. Played regularly in the premier league c. Made a significant difference to his side. I’ll give you a bog standard premier league striker. Chris Wood of Burnley. 10 goals in each the last two seasons. Cost 3 times as much as Joselu . Rafa didn’t have 15million for a striker.

Harsh. It's not his fault hes all Rafa could afford. And if theres no takeover were woefully short of options.

Reads like a forlorn last attempt at telling Ashley to get his fuckin finger out. Pointless but a least they had a go. Which is the best we can hope for the team next season

Beautiful mix of clientele...stoners, students, indie kids & football hooligans. And in the case of a lad I used to know from near Berwick all four put together

Theyve now had two months to make an appointment. It’s not happening iyam

Think we need to prepare ourselves for the strong possibility that the new manager is already in place...they’ve known Rafa is leaving since mid May, Redfearn appointed U23 manager 21st June...

Rafa makes a decision about what he’s doing in May. Come June the club say he’s leaving because potential new owners don’t want him? 🤔 Doesnt change much if anything iyam. Rafa couldn’t be arsed with any more bullshit from any of the cretins running NUFC. Does anyone blame him?

That's the Chronicle repeating a lie from Mike Ashley. The detail in the BZG bid is strong and their reputation would be in shreds if the were shown to be seemingly telling lies at the behest of Ashley. We're not being sold because Ashley doesn't want to sell the club. Fuck all to do with genuine bids or not.

Derby replace Lampard with Phillip Cocu, who I thought had a spell at Arsenal but as I've subsequently found out didn't play for any English club Anyway, safe to say that's a far better appointment than Ashley will eventually make....

I remember his sister well.... (1 min 18 😉 )

I liked him plenty and thought he was absolutely the best manager we could possibly expect as long as Ashley was owner. But given the offer on the table from Ashley v the China offfer it would be interesting to see how hard he tried to reach a compromise. Don’t blame him in many ways but the simultaneous timings of the Caulkin piece & the confirmation of the deal (and that he’s trebled his money) suggests he’s pulled a bit a fast one and he knows it...

Fuck off Rafa you were never going to sign
