Dr Gloom

Yes but don't forget the new toilets they just installed at the training ground. They took a big chunk of that 6m. Then there's the interior decorator fee.

Touch of a rapist there from lovely hands

Chanting your support is fucking shit at this lot is stating the bleeding obvious innit

Good to see an almost first choice back 4

Will respond to anything of interest tomorrow when I'll be working from home, am in the smoke just now, new gig. Gloomy used to be a "anybody but Fred" person, just like you man. I still am and I'm right For the record Leazesmag, i wasn't. I won't dispute that i thought it was time for him go. I hoped a new owner with more money could get us back to where we were after Fred allowed things to stagnate by appointing souness and roeder. That doesn't mean i ever said anyone would do better than shepherd. I never said anyone but fred. Find where i said that or shut the fuck up already.

He's right about the club being a challenge

I don't know man. Im just seething at what these twats are doing to the club and hearing people defend their decision making is infuriating But Leazesmag isn't right about anything, ffs don't let him hear you say that.

I expect the answer to that will be a resounding no. I wonder whether chez given will argue Barton was carried last season now too.

The silence from the Ashley apologists has been deafening. And I'm talking about the more articulate among them, not deano, who has continued spouting his usual brand of inane drivel. Come on toonpack, chez - let's be avin you.

To be fair making a low offer to the club is one of better initial approaches. We are desperate, so hopefully it'll be followed up. Don't get your hopes up.

Haha yeah it's a ridiculous state of affairs... I mean I dont really like Barton (in fact I dislike him a lot) but there's no denying he's a very good footballer and even with 12 months left on his contract is worth around £4m. At what point does Ashley stop the selling? I mean surely your wage budget is now fairly low for your revenue? Why do you think he is making all these cuts? Is it to then sell the club on for more money than if it had a large wage bill and debts? I have no idea. You'd have thought he'd have learned his lesson from the relegation season that if you sell your best players without replacing them, you'll struggle. But it seems not. I think he gave up with the club after the keen debacle. Ever since then, he's viewed it purely as an investment, a cash cow. He doesn't give a shit about making us a success on the field, only profitable off it, despite what the fans think of that.

I'm struggling to remember a shitter transfer window. Remember that one where we panic bought sibierski on the final day? This place was seething. Tbh, you'd jump at a player like le sib now.

Couldn't happen to a nicer manager

Fucking seething tonight like. And it's all thanks to those fuckwits that run the club. Arseholes.

Fuck off Deano will you? There is no way you can dress this situation up as anything but what is. What will you say next week when jonas and collocini are sold?

I'd fuck off if I were Barton too tbh. The owner has turned us into a joke selling club.

There's still more than enough days in the window left to sell our remaining senior players. Only colocini and Jonas to go after Barton.

Can't remember the name of it but the best chippy I've ever been to was in Whitby

from nufc.com: Juan in - one out? News that Valencia have reached agreement with Chelsea over a big money move to Stamford Bridge for Juan Mata and will receive a £15m down-payment may not have registered on Tyneside - but could become significant. The Spanish club have continually been credited with interest in Magpies captain Fabricio Coloccini, who played for a quartet of Spanish sides between 2001 and 2008, when he swapped Deportivo la Coruna for United. However, Valencia's current top central defensive target now appears to be Spanish-born Victor Ruiz Torre of Napoli. Tuesday's Gazzetta Dello Sport newspaper claim that an offer has been for made the 22 year-old who moved from Espanyol less than a year ago. One of United's biggest earners and under contract until 2013, Coloccini turns 30 in January. And despite our solid start to the season, a lack of investment in the SJP squad (and the departure of Jose Enrique) could make him open to a move, if not to Valencia then elsewhere.

so when exactly is the new owner going to do better than the old ones, which you said would be nailed on when you wanted rid of them because they were so shite oh well. Dr Gloom making daft comments then running away again....... when exactly is he going to stop moaning on for an owner etc with ambition, when he didn't want them here when we had them ? I'd like to know where I'm being "buttfucked" because basically, until someone comes along and does better than the Halls and Shepherd, then I continue to be spot on regarding everything I said about them [unlike Gloomy himself, but I'm sure he'll moan like fuck anyway even though he now has what he wanted] Oh dear. Thanks tecato, FFS. What a surprise. Leazesmag making things up, yet again. Find me where i said that Leazes. Prove that I got what i wanted and I wont ignore you anymore. For what feels like the 100,000,000 time....Like the majority of people on here, i admit i thought it was time for a new chairman. The old board failed to push on after a series of good finishes under robson by making the ridiculous decision to appoint souness then roeder. That's why i felt a takeover by a billionaire owner might be a good thing. I'm convinced you were excited by the prospect of a new owner with deep pockets when the news first broke too. That doesn't mean you were right and i was wrong about anything as it didn't take a genius long to work out that Ashley is potentially the worst chairman we've ever had. This isn't something I've only just come around to. I don't know why you think otherwise. In fact that's why i put you on ignore. Its impossible to engage with someone that ignores what you say and relentlessly puts words in your mouth. It's infuriating. You're getting butt fucked by people here who haven't given up and put you on ignore because you're constantly being shown up as this sad, obsessed old character. People are laughing at you while you froth at the mouth while typing with venom. Don't you get it? You're getting raped Leazesmag because of this obsession of yours. This endless quest to be proved right about the old owners by pretending people said things they never did. It's tiresome, it's pathetic, it's endless. Get a fucking life will you. I'm staggered that yous are all having the same debate again. The sad thing is if you come back on this message board in 5 years time, it'll be the same pish, can't be the only cunt that's bored of it nuw. it's not a debate with leazesmag though is it? he says his piece, totally ignores what you have to say then puts words in your mouth to back up his deranged "i was right, the rest of you were wrong" point scoring. you're not the only one that's bored of it btw. i've got leazesmag on ignore. i only posted in here because it's funny seeing him constantly getting grief over his obsession - i see that despite having him blocked. and i only replied directly after tecato quoted him so i couldn't ignore it. i honestly can't think of a more tedious poster. maybe that nick lad and deano. the annoying thing about leazesmg is that, unlike those two, he can make some half decent posts when he drops this obsession with the old board. shame that's only about 5% of his posts.

The problem for me isn't the new players. They could all turn out to be good buys. The problem is that key players in last seasons squad haven't been replaced yet.

No way of knowing how many he'd get this season, obviously. One thing you cant ignore is we're 12 goals down on last season. Carroll got a few too. Who'll get them this year? Shola? Ba? Best? I'm not convinced

But I'm in Leeds init? Well that's just glory supporters. Same down here with all the man u shirts you see young kids wearing
