  1. Alright, so Mike Ashley forced the resignation of Kevin Keegan.  Yes, he renamed St. James' Park.   Also, since he's been here we've got a terrible record in the league and F.A. Cups.   It's true that under him we've become a selling club.  True that under his regime long time supporters have stopped attending games. Alright, so we've been relegated twice and perhaps another one coming.

     

    But apart from forcing Keegans resignation, 

    renaming St. James' Park,

    getting terrible results in cup games,

    becoming a selling club,

    long time supporters suffering terrible times,

    been relegated twice under his tenure...

     

    What has Mike Ashley ever done to piss us off, EH?!

    Rafa Benitez kept his cool when questioned about (lack of) transfers on Friday afternoon but was clearly far from happy.

    The United boss says that he personally doesn’t get involved in the transfers, but stated that he gave Mike Ashley his list of transfer targets ‘A, B and C options…’ and is still waiting to see if they end up being signed.

    “We have given a list with A, B and C options…we have to wait until 31st January, then we will see.”

     

     

    That sounds idiotic to me. We will forever be a poor club with Ashley picking who they sign. Is this common in European football?  In N.A. you have the coach and General Manager that make trades and draft picks. The teams where the owner gets involved too much usually stink, see the Cleveland Browns.

     

    It seems that this is a normal practice for Rafa because he's still here!

     

  3. That would be welcomed news.  However, there are rumblings the Jonjo Shelvey is off to West Ham.  If true, we can not play the rest of the season with Merino and Hayden in midfield, imo.  Merino could be a great player someday but he is far from that now.

     

    Is there talk that we're bringing in more than Kenedy and Gamerio?  Because I'm not reading anything other than those two.

    He won’t sell it on the cheap, that is clear, and it could scupper the deal, assuming he genuinely does want to sell. But, like you say, who the fuck knows what his real intentions are?

    But the events of the last week don’t mean that Ashley is any less likely to sell, or that the deal with Staveley is off. 

     

     

    Iirc, there were two of you claiming to have "insiders" knowledge of what was going on. Gloom, you mentioned that the deal was off but will get done later in the year. And the other bloke, whose name escapes me right now,  was claiming the opposite, that the deal would get done soon in this window.

     

    I wonder how far back I have to go in this thread to find that guy so I can block him forever.
