If, and at the moment it's still a big if, he is genuinely taking over the club then I think you need to cut him a bit of slack. With the time the deal was done a bid for the stadium would have been the priority. If he'd spent day one giving interviews about the playing side and then a few days...

Not sure I like the bit about him needing to speak to Ashley to see if he's going to honour our lease. Is that less secure than we thought? Everyone has been saying we're fine as we've got a 10 year lease, let's hope there's not some change of ownership clause or anything odd like that.

Different Alex but this is tomorrow https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct4lhg

The problem with a lot of these increases is, at best, they're back to the levels they were when the Conservatives came into power. If there hadn't been so many cuts in the 'good' years we wouldn't be in such a mess now and be better placed to withstand the current economic situation. And of...

The rumour was CBS had paid next to nothing. it was a face saving exercise for Wasps who had spent years saying they were lining up a new sponsor, even engaging a third party to sell the naming rights, but couldn't get a deal in place. If that's true would be interesting to know if there's any...

think the Wasps shop is in the bit they got the CWG grant for.

don't think he's quite got the replies he was expecting to that tweet :D

That was exactly my point, we're not every club, we're so deep in the shit that we're welcoming an approach from someone everyone else is desperate to avoid. I'm not sure the fact that Newcastle were better before his ownership and have improved since he has left is quite the selling point you...

Ashley's ownership of Newcastle was not dissimilar to SISU's ownership of us, they just started at a higher point. 9 out of the 10 seasons prior to Ashley's involvement they finished high enough to be playing in Europe. Under Ashley they were relegated twice and only qualified for Europe once...

Says a lot about the situation that we've got people hoping we get taken over by someone every other club is desperate to avoid. The guy is basically a running joke, when there's talk of any club being up for sale their rivals give it the 'hope Ashley buys them' line.

Or they just cut the budget, sell off anyone they can and watch us slide back down to L2 while pointing the finger at Ashley?

I think the question now is how much damage is going to be done on their way out. Would anyone bet against another move? We all know that the EFL would allow it, just needs SISU to say there's no other option so its move or no more club.

no doubt this won't be good news and we'll have a few years of Sepalla & Ashley slugging it out with the club caught in the crossfire

given how shit Neighbours and Home & Away are its weird to think of how many big stars they've produced

No way Richardson should get a penny unless the bondholders are paid back.

its always annoyed me that smokers are allowed regular breaks, or at least they have been everywhere I've worked, but if you're sat in front of a screen all day and try and take the HSE recommended 10 minute break from the screen every hour that's not acceptable.

More importantly the brilliant Staged is returning for series 3. Moving to Britbox so I'll be going for the free trial and burning through them in one sitting.

Not watching it for about 25 years but Neighbours is coming back on Amazon's free streaming service. Its an ad supported service, what is interesting is that when it was axed it was because it didn't generate anywhere near enough in ad revenue to cover the costs despite viewing figures being...

playing like they're all hungover, can't imagine why

Alternatively the club runs at a loss so if you clear the debt today you're not going to be debt free this time next year. I know we've put up with a lot but at some point something will happen to the club that doesn't involve it being the worst case scenario, lets hope this is that moment.
