    Mike Ashley Takeover …Ready and Waiting

    AFAIK he bought the three companies. Obviously what happens to take them out of admin is another question.

    Mike Ashley Takeover …Ready and Waiting

    I think it’s just Twitter bleed, they all seem a bit mental over there.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You’re disappointed as someone who is left wing. The polling shows this strategy is working and that’s literally all that matters until we have a Labour government.

    Mike Ashley Takeover …Ready and Waiting

    Most freeholders don’t allow their tenants to just knock down the building in my experience. Frasers have said they want the club there. The club have said they want to be there. The council have said their priority as freeholders was us being there. This is just conspiratorial bollocks I’m sorry.

    Public Enquiry into Sale to Wasps

    You’re heading off into that territory again. What do you think happened, exactly? What are you hoping will be uncovered by this investigation?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    What would that answer be that doesn’t involve “spend more”? Because that’s the biggest question floating voters have about Labour. We’re ahead on economic competence for the first time in forever, clearly the current tactic is working. You and I are super left wing, but sadly the country is...

    Public Enquiry into Sale to Wasps

    Yes if there’s one thing politicians are known for it’s all agreeing.

    Public Enquiry into Sale to Wasps

    It went through everything though. What’s the aim of this one? “We don’t like Wasps so you should have let the arena fail”?

    He could not flatten the arena tomorrow.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I don’t know if you’ve noticed but the totality of questions out to Labour politicians regardless of whether they’re in or out of power is “how will you pay for it?” Seems sensible to have an answer. Blair also promised to match Tory spending plans but you can’t claim things didn’t get better...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Why does “free speech” and “free thinking” always mean “spouting baseless conspiracy theories pumped out by authoritarian regimes and the worst parts of the internet”?

    Public Enquiry into Sale to Wasps

    There was quite literally a judicial review about this. An online petition with who knows how many signatures isn’t “scrutiny”.

    Not quite. Lease terms exist. A landlord can’t just “charge what they want” especially when they have precisely one possible tenant. Wasps didn’t and they hated us. Yet we seem to be paying less than ever.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Opposition is not the place to upturn the economic consensus. Especially post Truss. The next election will be about economic “competence” whether we like it or not. Also everyone leaves off the second half of that which is “as long as they pay their taxes”, I still don’t like it but it’s only...

    Mike Ashley Takeover …Ready and Waiting

    That would be the case whoever owns us/the ground. It’s one reason why I never saw the clamour for it.

    Mike Ashley Takeover …Ready and Waiting

    Well the HIS club is kinda what worries me. I don’t like a chairman/owner who thinks he knows better than the manager and that seemed to happen at Newcastle. My worry would be Ashley takes over, sacks Robins and brings in a “name” and ruins the feel around the club that’s been so great the last...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not aimed at you, but it’s police numbers all over again. Should never have been cut and now wheeled out as a positive. And if left on left bickering isn’t your thing then maybe politics isn’t for you 😂 I’ve made my feelings clear, he’s still subscribing to the outdated ideological “wealth...

    Personally, I think he’d be a disaster. Think Peter Reid “instant success” type disaster.
