Ashworth leaves after 5 months...after all of that chasing!

How much did they pay Newcastle for him?!

Haha, basket case of a club.

He spent more time on gardening leave from Toon that actually in position.

Do they know his job needs a big chunk of money? Did they think his name or him just saying Manchester United would get players ripping up contracts elsewhere to join them?

Somebody explain please…

£370M losses over 5 years….no FFP or PSR breach.

Serious question, how the fuck is that possible and why aren’t forest and everton all over it


Edit: forgot to add…..dirty rag scum, hope they get relegated.

Fingers (and toes) crossed!

Makes for hilarious reading.

Only got through half a page, my Chromebook kept wanting to shut down from all the red on the screen but, i did mange to copy and paste this....they have no fucking idea.

Well they do say things have to get worse before they get better, but FFS how much worse can it get !!

And tbf Forest prob had one of the best records at OT back in the day they regularly fucked them up on their own pitch...

December 1977 Utd 0 Forest 4 on their way to the old 1st division title .

Also 1988 fa cup 6th round utd 0 Forest 1 ( same day we lost to Chelsea at home in old 2nd division when both teams eventually went up )
A lot of trouble in town that day 56k at OT, 44k at Maine Rd..Chelsea brought over 10k fans....a proper away unit..

There was another match which stands out too; shortly after Stuart Pearce missed that pen fir Engksnd he got dogs abuse in a league game at OT from their fans. He shut them right up with a brilliant free kick hit with so much venom the Stretford end were stunned
1nil Foresf ....Nigel Clough hit the crossbar with another brilliant free kick 2nd half...also Forest sold Gary birtles to utd for a million quid and he was shit...lol

I remember the Chelsea game well, it was my younger brother's 30th birthday on 20/3/89 so I bought us both tickets in The Main Stand as a present for him.
Shame about the result though.

Omar’s next!

 

[rowarta]

Isn’t he already under contract with us?

City will put Viana on 6 months gardening leave, he'll join RAGS then get sacked after 5 months.

 

[Really_here]

It’s funny, but I can’t find any mention of it at all on either Sty or the BBC sports websites.

Very strange.

It is interesting how long it's taking the BBC football site to report this !

Well done agent Omar.
