Agreed, football as it was is dead. My lad and a couple of his mates have decided they're going to watch non-league next season, costs bugger all, you can take your pint to where you're standing and the players actually try. Get yourself along to see the Spartans. You can keep dry on all 4 sides of the ground now It'll be Whitley Bay Would be North Shields for me, was there in 69 when they won the cup

Aye and delaying the sale in the process, which is what we really don't need right now. True, but I don't hold with the deliberate spitefull delay stuff to be honest, if there's been formal bids that means the due dilligence etc is done, a "gentlemen, give us your best offer" excercise can have a pretty short deadline attached.

I actually take this as good news, in anouncing multiple bids he's trying to squeeze up the price, not worth doing IF there hasn't been serious interest.

So who was it ?? The Chief Football correspondent at the News of the World. Fits the m.o. Dave Kidd posted a few times and had a classic meltdown, thread sadly lost in the crash

So who was it ??

Who on Skunkers?? I can't get in from work I'm banned. Here from N.O. From Skunkers..... The new owners are based in Hong Kong, not Malaysia. The sale will be announced tomorrow and Gianluca Vialli will be appointed Director of Football. Shearer is expected to be named manager. There will be £30 million made available for transfers. Ashley is selling for £85 million up front with £100 million to be paid in the future in repayment of the loan. Barclays are owed £40 million which has to be paid within two years. Our first signing will be Jermaine Beckford from Leeds - the deal is ready for signing as soon as the sale is completed. Harper is to be made club captain and there are several offers on the table for our players including Martins, Gutierrez, Coloccini and Smith. Source is a mate that works in NUFC's legal department. No-one is banned from Skunkers man, have your e-registers after the crash ??? Depends on the alledged ITK, a few have decent contacts some just rpetend.

Annie !!! all these years there's me thinking Gemmill was a lad

Net worth of US$7.4 billion according to Forbes, and the third wealthiest man in Southeast Asia. His brother Hari is canny famous an all, he's even got his own chant. He could do Graeme Danby's job next season then. The colour of the new away strip is pure coincidence I'm sure

Not a proper chippy anywhere central mind Jewel in The Crown, fantastic curry house on Crown Street, but is always rammed so you'll be lucky to get in if you just turn up Shabaz on Rose Street is canny an all, Nazma down towards the harbour is supposed to be really good as well but not been myself. Royal Thai is good as mentioned The Globe on North Silver Street is a canny bar I like The Grill on Union Street which looks awfull from the outside but is canny if you like whisky - world whisky bar of the year 2009, you name it they've got it, from normal price up to £200 a shot Worth a trip in just to read their bar menu (a big file) As a general rule, the closer to the harbour you get the rougher the bars and there's always the pole dancing places - horrific !!!!

Looks like nice dangly diamond earings he's got on mind, sets it off lovely

You'd be surprised young Thomas That post first appeared on RTG btw

Is he being blindfolded? Derek "Which one do you like the feel of mike?" Pin the tail on the consortium, a party game for the 21st century

Didn't I read Gillette Fusion Quatro is selling his stake in that yank handball team for £330m to cover Liverpool's debt? Canadian Ice Hockey team was the story, near enough Not sure what happened with that but you'd be surprised if he was willing to sell that and plough it all into paying off LFC's debt single-handedly. It would be fucking mint if they went bust like. Ridiculous that they saddled the club with the debt for buying it. Strange world. I still don't understand how this is possible. Just like buying a house with a mortgage

I actually like it, not that I'd ever wear one mind.

Typical mackems, they've put it on a sign on the wrong side of the barrier, thus facing the wrong way (technically) Check the barrier and where the cars are comming from on the signs side of the road

I used to think that an all, but it's not true, the foodstuffs are excellent quality, the cooked meats (ham, salami etc) are particularly good.

Him and 80+ others, never had as many watchers on anything Loads of Krauts and Frogs been messaging and strangely (to me) Portugese, who I never really pictured a Les Paul type people, is that a guitarist statement

Aye You ever heard of that Hufshmid blokey ???

Tell me about all those porn stars you've been shagging Couldn't possibly BTW my Les Paul is on eBay if you want a gander, 4 days left, Search on Les Paul Standard 1998 Some German offered me a trade for a Hufschmid hand built - 9 string, never heard of the maker (some German/Swiss handmade blokey) but WTF would you do with 9 strings!!!!, 2 grand he reckond the thing was worth.

Check the source, we're still ferked

If he's written off what he's paid in so far as a loss, which the sale price seems to suggest he has, the he might. The Administrator would take over the day to day running and get a best price - which would go to Ashley, Ashley would also avoid having to put any more money in for running costs. It's a real possibility IF there's no concrete buying interest pretty soon I reckon What would happen to the players contracts? Who would pay them off, if they were paid off? I believe players are classed as football creditors and therefore come 1st in payment order But if there ain't any money, they'll get nowt like everyone else. They'd become free agents and once they did that any new owner wouldn't have any liability/contract to them ......I think That said, I'd be surprised if a player (employee) came ahead of a bank with a secured deal or HM taxman etc.

It's a real possibility IF there's no concrete buying interest pretty soon I reckon What would happen to the players contracts? Who would pay them off, if they were paid off? I would think Administration would be a good way of dodging the contracts, you hear of people not being paid from organisations in Admin all the time. If the club/administrator has no money to make the payments then people don't get paid, I would think employees are pretty far down the line when it comes to creditors, they'd have the choice of working for nowt (as a goodwill gesture !!!) or walking away, players are like any other employee I reckon, if there's no money employees get laid off. If a new buyer came along they could assume the contracts, but I don't know if they have to, I suppose a new buyer could say to the administrator we'll buy the club for x amount, but we only want to buy the non player bits (or possibly just take on the one's they wanted) - possibly, I ain't an expert I'm afraid.
