Lifted from, well, take a guess....




What was it The Moyesiah said when he was in charge there; "we aspire to be like City", wasn't it?

latest accounts, to 30 June 2024, the club announced a net loss of £113.2m.
Total losses over the past five years are more than £370m,

And yet no FFP penalties as the rules were bent for them.
And they still owe hundreds of millions on outstanding transfer fees added to their debt

Remember there was a worry on here that glazers handing some control over to ineos might lead to them being less of a laughing stock.
Getting to the point where we will be hoping the glazers sell up to ineos.

Perhaps Khaldoon is playing 4D chess and we wanted Ashworth all along. Hopefully Viana has a £30m release clause in his contract!

He's a clever bloke in his field , figures and chemicals but people like that are usually useless with people and I would say Football leadership is more about people.

You can be successful with business despite being wank. I’ve worked in many businesses owned by vulture capatalists & they are normally fucking clueless but incredibly arrogant that they know best. Once you’ve managed to keep it alive for them to sell then you get to run it properly.

The BBC website is finally carrying the story of Ashworth leaving.

It states that it cos the rags £21.4 million to sack ten Bob and replace him with a moron.

Swalesesque indeed.

Some of the mods on here are like that!

I am not saying they will succeed but they will 1000% try to poach Viana. Make no mistake about it. They are bar none the most pathetic sport association on the planet, and their envy and admiration for us knows no bounds.

That being said, there were enough voices out of Newcastle implying that Ashworth wasn't actually that good in the market, which was his sole purpose at United. Which makes me feel this is bad news in case they actually stumble upon someone competent this time.

Also, INEOS has never run a succesfull football team. Only straight or relative failures. By all intents or purposes they have no idea what they are doing

I was thinking this as soon as I heard the news.

Hoping I’m not putting 2 and 2 together but hasn’t the plan for Viana changed.

I’m sure the original plan was that he would work alongside Txiki for 6 months until the end of the season.

It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s been tapped up especially with his mate now working at the swamp.
