There’s absolutely no chance that it’s anyone other than Ashley leaking this shit.

6/4 he doesn't

It's that time of year, folks. Everyone sing along! Leeeeeds! Leeeeds are falling apart! Again!

I have imagined it and it would take a very long time, but he would still be alive until right at the end.

in more cheerful football news...

Kobe Bryant Only black man I know who doesnt have a decent chopper.

Imagine Prince Dollar meeting Ashley. They'd probably go to mad expense to make it dignified as fuck and then Ashley would turn up with a sainsburys bag full of papers wearing jeans that you literally can't buy anywhere as they're too ridiculous.

Yeah like Kobe Bryant, he’s totally gone to pieces lately.

Fuck me, his heads massive

“A takeover could be completed in 72 hours” - Jim White SSN. Such a shame that takes us all the way to the transfer deadline. What an unfortunate distraction from the clubs genuine desire to buy players! Poor Mike, he wishes he could just get on with being a good owner!

It's being covered but nowhere near to the same level of bullshitting fake hysteria that the nonce's nephew & his missus have been subjected to recently. That's the difference

I think the Samuel piece is the end. Ashley did an interview with him when it had all played out last time where he accused Stavely of being a time waster, despite Caulkin having seen 3 separate bids from her all submitted by Chris Mort of Freshfields. He's not selling. Again.

He’s just a fat Gary Bushell

just off the top of me head... martin samuels, richard keys, dennis wise, rio ferdinand, lee charnley, keith bishop, justin barnes, joe kinnear, alan pardew, steve bruce, peter beardsley.... apart from looking like a who's who of dark web users, they don't have one shred of moral fibre between them. has there ever been, even once, anybody with any decency or self respect whose been able to put up a viable defence for the repulsive fat cunt?

I used to go out with a lass who went to Oxford Uni & all my mates were like 'what the fuck is she doing with you?'. Then she finished me.

He's not even going to the replay.

Take it easy on him, he’s still having night terrors

Deano

in the same article they refer to martin samuels as a well respected national scribe. i've read it several times and i still can't decide whether kennedy is taking the piss or not.

The Shields Gazette have already said it definitely wasn't Ashley who leaked the story about the takeover guys, honest. I wonder how that journalisming went. Journalist - Hey Mike did you leak this story so as to purposely scupper it even though that makes no actual sense as a way out of it, Mike - No of course not, Journalist - OK Mike fair play.

Nailed on humiliating defeat now, probably to include Shelvey getting two red cards, ASMR breaking four legs and Bruce exploding in a confetti of prawn cocktail Skips.

Chodprick can fuck off, canvassing random towelheads expecting them to be privy to government dealings

As long as he gets the Tories out I’m not bothered.

This, sadly

i'm really quite relieved you've said that. i don't feel quite so concerned about me own fantasies now.

Not really odd at all, if crown prince’s people say, “say nowt” you’re not going to go risk getting Khashoggied are you .

wears too much gel on his hair

It’s all in preparation for the ‘couldn’t do the deal because..’ statement that will come from Ashley in the coming weeks. If this supposed offer from one of the richest men in history of the world is true and he ‘fails’ to buy the club from Ashley then we should all give up and accept Ashley is here until he dies, because if this bloke can’t take it from him then no one can. I hate how some of our fans fall for this shite every time.. Ashley knows he can whip up the fan base into a frenzy every fucking time man. It’s as easy as intentionally ‘leaking’ a statement to the press.

think the transfer window's covered mate. fans favourite brucey has already told mikey he doesn't need the £60m he offered him a week or two ago.

Nicholas Parsons

If they've genuinely been in talks for 4 months then I do think he's serious about selling. No one was screaming at him to spend money this window - in fact, I find myself wishing he had spent about £40m less over the summer. His free tickets move has saved attendances, and while Bruce is playing a style of football last seen in prehistoric times, it's not really like there is united fan sentiment against the club. I also think that if a deal is 90% complete, there won't be any counter offers or anything like that. That shit will all have been settled on by now. They'll be in the very final stages of the legal discussions and the wording of the sale. Also, this was a leak - Its not like anyone knew anything about it for the 4 months prior to that, so why would anyone know anything more about it now? No one knows anything about counter offers, the feelings of the stakeholders, etc. Not unless Ashley himself has chosen to make all of this known, and as I've said, it'd be fucking bizarre for him to play that game for a mere two or three days of attention at a time when he doesn't even need it.

The transfer window shuts at 11pm this Friday so I'm expecting this to just fade away like all the other January takeovers

Fat Pig.

The One show have destroyed the FA CUp draw btw too. Getting a bunch of fat cunts together to shake hands when their teams are drawn

Rayvin, I mean this in the nicest way but you must be a fucking nightmare ordering food.

I for one welcome our new Shania Law overlords. Let's go girls!

If it happens it'll have nowt to do with any of us and you shouldn't feel anything over it. Whether we want them, or Ashley, or anyone else, NUFC will always belong to us.

FYP

Haven't they been slowly been moving towards western values anyway? I mean they let bints drive over there now, which whilst I don't agree it, was seen as a move forwards. They're not going to become 'civilised' overnight but maybe buying us is a move towards that rather than an attempt to cover-up their shenanigans

The government endorsed selling them loads of arms to kill civilians with but we’re supposed to take moral high ground? Fuck right off. Particularly the BBC with its endorsement of said government at the last election

I think we've had enough shit as a club over the last 15 years to let it slide. Let's just take the money and enjoy it.

If this turns out to be true do we take the high ground on them being evil cunts, indulge in whataboutery regarding Sheff U, Villa (Chinese being shit on human rights) and even Man City whose owners are in the same realm or do we shrug our shoulders and say fuck it? Truthfully I'm leaning towards fuck it.

I mean the fact that it says James on the back of his shirt and he looks like an entirely different person definitely shouldn't factor into your decision making, you WHITE MEDIA PIGS.

I wonder how much wood could a woodchuck chuck. If a woodchuck could chuck wood? Not much is my guess.

I say that about every player we sign though. I’ve had a 95% success rate with it.

I had a season ticket for 26 years. I gave it up because he's a cunt.

That's a reasonable view in most clubs maybe, but there's a solid contingent of non-plastic and non-fair weather fans who refuse to buy season tickets for NUFC these days. Well into the thousands. I would also suggest that you haven't perhaps factored in the economics of some people's situations, and that your research might be skewed a bit in favour of better off fans (who can afford to up-front a season ticket/have the job stability to commit to ongoing payments - and who may indeed be plastics despite this). At least it's worth noting down as a consideration. Either way, I suggest that with our club, you'll struggle to find anyone outside of Sunderland who doesn't think the owner is a cunt. Good luck though.

He's a cunt /thread
