Goes to show how important it is to appoint a CEO/MD/Chairman used to running large complex organisations and with talent, intelligence and a flair for communication. I'd add a football man too, although Mort wasn't one of those. When we get taken over, casino creeping fuckwitted arrogant tossers need not apply.

I lost interest when I saw it was a premiership club

With a decent change of owners, some limited investment and a decent manager there's no reason why we can't bounce back straightaway. Ashley out is a must have of course.

Yes, with only vast bottomless pits of money to cheer him up poor darling Contrary to popular myth most professional footballers want to do well on the pitch. Owen is no exception. He's paid a huge amount of money to be professional. I don't give a shit about his feelings. I wasn't questioning whether he wants to do well on the pitch by the way. Michael Owen always wants to do well for Michael Owen, that goes without saying It bores me people keep carping on about how much players are paid. They're paid a lot - forget about it. Why don't you piss off instead Ultimately the club must take the brunt of the responsibility for the failure of Owen at Newcastle, that includes signing the muppet. Agreed. Not that that makes you right

A Soviet doctor's waiting room at that

In this case NSFW stands for 'Not Suitable for Wanking' presumably...

Well done. That's the easy part over with now!

'The Arsehole'

It does feel like Milner's been playing for the U21s forever.

Good luck to him and Southampton. Not that I particularly care, we've got enough to worry about.

Well said

At least it would be some forward movement one way or another. This period of constipation will be suicide for next season if we don't shift it soon imo.

The bottom line is that the club is up for sale now. The work involved in organising a buy out is huge; it's not viable to do it from a standing start and present a credible bid in the time frame Ashley wants. In addition the fund raising and organisation of the bid is a full time job for experts who'll need to be recruited and paid. The idea the whole thing could be pulled off for 375 per supporter is risible and that's before you even look at how to fund the club's losses and other financial needs which will continue for some time to come. Or actually think through how it would work in practice. Or consider people's experience of owning shares in the club last time around. So he's constructed a wholly unrealistic scenario and then used it as a stick to beat the fans with. It's so crazy I can only assume it's attention seeking.

Bonuses for what? Sitting around mostly. You only get bonuses for winning surely? Well of course sweetie we all look forward to the end of capitalism. Today I award myself a bonus for turning up to work. Well done, me.

It's actually Llambias' office. On the desk is a note saying "Dear Mike, we're bust. Some bastard even took me car. I'm off back to the casino for now, let me know if you decide to put any more money in. Love Derek xxx". Bank statements are strewn around the room with "SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT" scrawled over them in red pen. There's two years' worth of unopened mail piled up on the floor, including a list of transfer requests from Kevin Keegan. At the back there's an open safe with a note in it saying "The club owes me 100m signed Mike". Someone appears to have defecated in the chair. It could be anybody's.

It's difficult to say how many of the 120 people are needed for life in the championship. I'd rather the money was invested in scouts, youth and the academy rather than pen pushers tbh. Not that the situation in the OP would ever arise tbh.

Ho hum. Can't say I'm surprised he's heading for the lifeboats. Let's get a decent price though, eh.

Thank God it's that easy! Yay!

Video in link. She should keep the tatoos and have lots more done imo. That might draw the eye from her features.

Mate, you should just come out and have done with it. There's no point in living a lie, you'll be much happier in the long run.

I noticed that too. Unbelievably poor.
