Thats his biggest problem.......the club is worth about half what he wants for it.Has it progressed either as a business or on the pitch since he bought it? I think the answer on both counts is no. So why would any self respecting billionaire buy it for double the price of what it is worth? MA's biggest mistake is not doing due dilligence to uncover what he claims were "hidden debts". These were apparently 110mill, which he has coveniently tacked on to the asking price.........and he's surprised he can't sell in a financial market that makes The Wall Street Crash" look like a walk in the park. The bloke is a born gambler, has been all his life, and this is one he's going to lose out on.........sadly he runs the risk of taking NUFC down with him. And regardless of what the bloke on the radio says that would be a disaster for Ashley and us.

Yep thats the one for me. He knobbed one in a few weeks earlier that was pretty important. Dont see many goals knobbed in by the likes of Bergkamp or Henry do you??? Best goal I saw was Gazzas against Chelsea. I was sat in the makeshift seats in the Leazes for some reason that day. I've never seen that goal repeated on TV,video or dvd (if anyone has a copy PM me!!) but it is without doubt one of the best I've ever seen.Jackie Milburn was at the time the judge of something called "Barclays Young Eagle of the Month" for the NE and he said much the the same in the match programme the following home game. also as mentioned by others: Gazza v Palace in the cup McGee v Bradford Ginola v Ferencvaros and one by Pedro in his second spell at SJP.........a volley from the right hand side of the area in a night game..........can't remember who we were playing?...........

We could name the training ground and the academy "the Sir Bobby Robson Centre" or something....he told fatfred we were a disgrace because we didnt have purpose built training facilities, and it was designed,built and opened whilst he was manager. There is a bust of him just inside the Old Milburn Stand entrance...........very good likeness of him

Agreed his value now is far higher than when he started. Do not want him long term but is his situation any different to Owens sadly not.........Owen will go if a club in the UEFA competions after xmas want a proven striker.......simple as that.......which means Man City...........probably.

Okay.........say he goes back to Forest next month on a contract to keep them in the championship with a bonus if he actually does..........where the fuck do you think that would leave us? He's limited as a manager,anyone can see that...........but we'd be fucked without him at the moment, and it looks like he knows it,hence trying to get a bit more loot out of Ashley.Fair play to the bloke. Add your list of realistic candidates to replace him at a club in complete limbo if he walks below.........

He's just playing the game...........he's basically saying to any champioship team who are thinking of dumping their present boss"I'm availiable and I want a 3 year contract" But don't be surprised if he's still here after xmas............Ashley wants 300 mill for a club thats worth no more than 150......and its a buyers market. Good luck Mike

The point is how did he deem it a foul? And worse how can he STILL deem it a foul after watching video playback? Clearly a ref can deem anything a foul, but that doesn't make them right. Graham Poll said after ther game " Just because he got the ball first doesn't mean that its not a foul" which as far as I can dedeuce means its as you say completely down to the refs interpretation of the law. Which means we're probably fucked and Beye is out for 3 games. With the advantages of Setanta slow motion Beye clearly got the ball first and then his and Robinho's momentum led to their being contact between their legs.That is why it isnt a foul. Beye didnt try to clear him out by taking his standing leg which was what Poll seemed to be implying, and Styles was also shouted down by 3 ex England internationals sat in the Studio. Styles' posistioning to make the call was dreadful (not that he needs to be 20 yards away and have 3 players between him and the ball to fuck it up-ask Bolton) and the linesman on that side bottled it completely. they need to be made an example of but I'm not holding my breath.

Box Office said yesterday that they were posting them out on Saturday and any that missed would be posted on Monday. Not sure about your user name though oh........I thought some sort of mod or admin wouldve told me that it was already in use? I'm off down the pub to watch Spurs get twatted in a minute..........I'll think of another name down there

Anyone get their tickets for next weekend in the post yesterday?

When Wayne Fereday gave up playing he got my mates old job delivering car parts.......I played 5 a side against him a couple couple of times. I thought " he's ancient now, I'll kick the shit out of the useless bastard"........couldn't get near the fucker!

no...my mate used to work at the Gallowgate Brewery and the blinded lad worked there with him.....my mates not Billy Furious either........he's Davey from Walker

Evening folks Leicester away 92, last game of the season.....had to fight our way into and out of Filbert Street, and its the only time I remember us being on the pitch in such numbers and being charged by police horses......a friend of a friend got blinded in one eye that day too We got back to Gateshead and went for a kebab......where the (obviously sober) lad who was driving our bus put some gobshite mackems head through the window........horrible day really The football side of it was awesome, with us scoring in the last minute and staying up (even though we were safe anyway I seem to remember) then David Kelly running into the crowd at the end
