Dazzler 9749 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 3 hours ago, Holden McGroin said: We want to speed it up for no other reason than bend over for Man Utd? It makes no sense really, we want to speed it up so we get £20m quid that can be used to boost our PSR results and fund a bit of transfer business but that could only be it. Also, I am pretty sure we don’t need Ashworth off gardening leave to have his replacement start in post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35079 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Probably just newspaper bollocks. Nothing we’ve done so far suggests we’ve let Man Utd have what they want without our being seriously recompensed. So our doing them an favour seems unlikely Also, as Dazzler says, there’s not a lot of logic to it in terms of needing Ashworth out the door before appointing a successor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sign Rafa Leao, Pedro Neto, Benjamin Sesko and a couple of other fucking class players and just be done with it. Simple really.

Something to do with he was not happy with the direction of the club the owners were after going in. But his signings handed them Serie A for the first time in a decade so he did well there. Viana has done a good job at Sporting too, but he was shite for us as a player so I’m torn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Peter Beardsley was for me, to be fair though, obviously this was the first NUFC player because to be fair, the first goal I saw was obviously a visiting player, Alan Brown, (ex-NUFC) for Shrewsbury to be fair, obviously. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4748 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Viana would be interesting, helping us tap into the portugese market. Under him sporting appointed ruben amorim and have become a proper title winner/contender again for the first time in a while. And since no one seems to know what a DoFs role really is, it fits his idiom at nufc perfectly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13863 Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 Canny baffling that Viana being their DOF for about 6 years has eluded me. In my head, he must still only be 31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
