CONFRIMATION of the CONFIMRED

[Winston Biscuit]

I wouldn't expect for a moment Ashley would look to start throwing money around. But he would stabilise the club in terms of paying bills on time which then allows us to get back into the transfer market putting us back on a par with others in the division.

For me, as long as someone can remove the hurdles which mean we are currently uncompetitive then its a huge step forward. It then really comes down to whats happening on the pitch and the training ground, the same as anyone else we are up against

I've read some utter tosh about this situation on X etc over the last day or so.

A club in our position should be biting Mike Ashley's hands off as an owner, that's blatantly obvious to anyone with a minimum of common sense.

The issue is whether the current owner will sell to him.

The question is whether a certain football agent has arranged for a certain amount of money to be placed in an envelope and left on his doorstep if a certain bullshitting businessman has a bid accepted.

One of them literally just posted, without irony, that this will end with us forever languishing in the bottom 6 of the PL. Fcuk me, how will we cope?

Is that what we've really come to? Welcoming a scumbag like Mike Ashley in because all the available alternatives are even worse?

God help us as a club!

Welcome to modern football.

We tried to get a couple of Hollywood stars to buy us out and make a documentary but we didn't have enough lovable underdogs living in the town.

Tbf, I think we'd take Sauron as owner if he we thought it would bring success. Got loads of resources from pillaging the planet and seems to take a long term view to achieve his goal of world domination. Plus would have a keen eye on games.

Are we really fussed about success at the moment or just having a club?

The positive is that the certain bullshitting businessman went on Talksport and said the club was screwed over by a certain football agent, so my hope is that certain football agent heard that and now treats the bullshitting businessman with extreme prejudice.

Football fans always want the next thing that's just out of reach. The moment we're stable we'll start moaning about doing better in the league, the moment we do better in the league we'll demand a play off run, once in the play off places we'll demand automatic promotion . . . and so on and so on.

I liked the bloke who claimed Newcastle had never been relegated before Ashley came along.

[WestYorksRoyal]

Anybody know how legitimate the "RFC News" Twitter handle is? They have said very little since the summer. But today:

- Club pushing for a quick sale. Ashley and a US consortium the key players. Storey and Red Bird not happening.

- Bowen and players think Selles should be sacked but there is no money to do it until ownership situation sorted.

You know, I get why you may not like him and he is definitely a twat but he left the club pretty much exactly when he bought them (his last full season saw them 12th, the season before he bought them, they were 13th) and whilst there were 2 relegations, both were following by 2 immediate promotions, gaining 102 and 94 points respectively, a 5th place PL finish and a run to the QF of the Europa league - that's not too bad from a pre Saudi perspective - plus they were financially sound.
