Park Life

Got to agree. God knows how he starts for the billionaire side.

Calmly taken and no fuss. Even resisted Ivanovic trying to rake him as he went past.

Only me and Stevie called it I believe.

That'll teach ya for ignoring me conspiracy threads.

It's one of those players that will leave football early. I reckon it bores him in all reality.

They get 10m cause they are in London and recently of the CL and seen as regular qualifiers for Europe now. They also have a very good reputation as a brand across Europe.

Except that when John Hall sold him his stake he was quoted as saying the new fella wants to use the club to gain international recognition for his brand. Sounds like a plan from day 1. Yeah, well it would have pretty much happened from day 1 if that was the real motivating factor tbh. An element of it would have occured to him (he'd be unlikely to miss the trick tbh) but it wasn't his reason for buying a football club for hundreds of millions of quid. While it's a slightly different way of looking at it, if he was considering buying it now, do you think he would? Would he shite. Plus he's tried to flog us in the interim. It may well be the case now but you'd have to suspend all your critical faculties trying to reverse engineer it into some sort of overall 'plan' from day 1. He says he's tried to sell us. But what he did was go out on the piss and say "£400m or fuck off!". Not exactly Glengarry Glen Ross hunger for the leads. I think he had ideas of doing a great job and renaming things at the height of our success. It would have done him no favours to come in and cut the ribbon on the Donnay stand on day 1. If he goes ahead and sells the naming rights to anyone else, I might think different, as it is though, I think the only thing that slowed his branding push was his own fuck up and subsequent relegation. Well put it this way, I suppose what I have trouble with with the 'SD from day 1' branding theory is the way it's somehow implicit that acquiring NUFC for the price he did was worth hundreds of millions of quid to him simply in branding alone. Because it wasn't. Given the sort of person he is I'd be astonished if he didnt have half a mind on some SD promotional schemes when buying the club, but in terms of being his plan for buying....I don't think so. It's now become this unified theory though and one which is supposed to underpin everything he does from hereon in and everything he has ever done. It's cobblers. As you say yourself it'd have been better if he'd done it for a 'successful' team, which is probably true, but that being so, that remains the case now. So it equally supports the theory he should push us forward on the pitch. Only people don't accept that side of the logic. I don't think he will either necessarily, but not because of the branding theory, just because I think he runs the club on a whim. He'll make money off it because he can make money off it but it's worth little more as an indicator of his plans for NUFC than that. That's kinda where I am with it.

Nothing serious will happen revenue wise till we get back into Europe. @Alex The etihad deal is being looked into apparently.

It's already full of ex-female employees innit.

Sweet.

19 pages in I can't comprehend the thought that we haven't seen his FIFA/PES numbers yet? NO need. Parky has ratifyied him. Right or wrong, you'll just throw a strop when he does nowt for 11 games and gets dropped to the bench

Put the sofa infront of the door.

Moving into Dexter territory.
