It’s not in winter though.

You make an opening bid. It's how negotiations work.

I’m sure you chaps have gone in to the thrilling financial details, but there’s one very important question about our potential new owner that needs answering. The answer is yes. Right in the stinker.

The Fish has me rattled

At last we're getting to the important issues of this deal

Didn't realise Grabban was the top scorer as well What a shambolic outfit

Canny start by Coleman, good to see them using their new manager bounce. They’ll be fewmin it was Brucey in all.

Ahhh shit. RIP kidda. If anyone here hasn't watched "Whatever happened to the likely lads", get it watched. It's more than nostalgia, for me up there with Auf Wiedersehen as Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais' best work. And Bob was a great character.

A good start for Coleman would have been waking up to find the Sunderland thing was just a bad dream & his agent is on the phone saying West Brom will take practically anybody.

If the Chinese are behind it, I'm sure it'll be fine.

I heard mike will take the 300m if she can drink 10 pints with him, and vomit in a fire place.

Buy Bitcoin.

I think you'll find it was Oasis.

When she offers 700 mill her true motive to buy Real Madrid will finally be revealed.

Enjoyed 43 min of the game then reached for the scotch.

Don't be daft, the first step towards buying Liverpool is to throw out a derisory bid at a lower tier club. In fact it's so patently obvious that it's bordering on farce.

You don’t need me for that. You and fish could both start arguments with yourselves.

The atmosphere will be toxic - again. With Ashley being so good on learning from mistakes there is probably another unnecessary relegation on the cards with Rafa resigning as soon as a deal falls through.

Stop talking sense, man

They should stick to worshipping nonces tbh

Gloom is a drinker. Proper Madmen style drink cabinet in his wood panelled office. Plus I heard he calls his secretary "kitten".

I'm extremely doubtful anyone outside of the bidding process knows what's going on

No it wasn’t

You've got to remember that journos get their information from 'sources', some of whom only know half of what is going on themselves. It's inevitable that a lot of shite ends up getting published. To me, it makes absolutely zero sense to go through this whole process of looking to buy Newcastle - and they have actually gone quite far through the process - just to, what, show Liverpool they're serious about buying a football club? Why not just make a bid? I'm also extremely doubtful that, if they are as serious as all signs point towards them being, they're just going to leave it if Ashley rejects this bid. It's all about negotiations. This is how they work.

We don’t even know what the actual amount of the bid is, yet people are not only pissing their kegs about that but now about some “take it or leave it” claim and Ashley being furious a higher amount than was offered was leaked. All from news agencies that only just found out about a week old bid.

Madbobitis seems to have struck Toontastic hard.

*curb your enthusiasm theme plays*

The difference between Merino/Shelvey and Diame/Shelvey is winning and losing. Especially with Gayle looking like a striker who could actually score a goal.
