Perfect sly dig about the benefit of properly investing in the academy...

Definitely not suitable for invasions or the Russian winter.

Thank god that Brexit wasn’t about xenophobia...

At least CT got his bespoken deal and everything from Brexit he wanted...

After questioning Bruce after the last result... As much as I did enjoy the three points and the performance yesterday it hasn’t changed my view at all. You can always bet on a battling performance against the allegedly superior teams with the crowd being up for it as well. Yesterday’s performance was helped a lot by Manchester United being just awful. The amount of misplaced passes, lack of organisation and movement had nothing to do with our game plan of sitting deep and hit them on the break but with them having no confidence and being a team in disarray. The problem is still with us having to perform against teams from the lower half of the table. That is where we really have failed this season. The win yesterday doesn’t excuse the inept performances against Norwich, Watford and Brighton in particular. Two points out of nine from these games is where the real problems are to be found.

Good thing is that as much as I hate Ashley and am unconvinced with Bruce there is still enough in me to enjoy the wrong United having an even more miserable day.

Nicestuff tbh

Shortstaff!!!

Bruce might get a chance at his beloved United after today’s game. They are actually worse than us...

I fear that we will get a positive result. The worry is that I am not positive about this as it as those responsible for the mess will see it as a justification to keep on.

Good to hear that he noticed against Norwich that players aren’t used to his tictacs, but he kept on playing it... Either that or it’s all just a smokescreen to shift blame on the players but especially his far superior predecessor.

Same rubbish, different take.

What a load of rubbish.

Rees-Mogg liniking opposition to Brexit to Soros is certainly part of an agenda.

Welcome back, there are several years of old jokes posted by others you can repeat.

A dinosaur by look as well as words.

The sunderlandisation of the club.

The manager from Salzburg would probably be worth to have a closer look if we were ever looking for a modern, upcoming manager.

Exactly. There is hardly any difference in Ashley pretending that he wants to sell the club and Johnson wanting a deal.

As I see it the problem is probably less the asking price but the details of the sale. Every buyer does know what amount of money Ashley does want. I can’t see serious multimillionaires appointing legal consultants walking into discussions with empty pockets knowing they won’t be able to do a deal still having to find the money. With BZG the asking price was agreed as the club confirmed itself. Staveley according to Bird or Caulkin (can’t remember who) had actually tabled offers. Deals fell through because of other reasons. With Staveley it was that Ashley suddenly changed his tune accusing the buyer of lack of action saying or pretending a lack of an offer. Imho most telling was Ashley’s narrative in his summer interview with the billionaire Sheikh haggling over a fee of 10m and therefore contradicting the press statement confirming the agreement of a price. Adding to this that we know from the sale of Rangers how reluctant Ashley is with losing commercial rights and income I have no reason to doubt that the lack of sale is solely down to the cunt of a greedy owner. Ashley will only sell if he is forced to or the offer is insanely obscene.
