Just passing on what I’ve been told fella

Comparing the winner of the checkatrade trophy to that on the league up is a pointless comparison.

The fact it’s made it to national press would suggest that (if even true) we are hoping someone else comes in. Can’t say I’m all that excited as it’s most likely another chancer... however, anyone is better than Gao.

Apparently someone called Jeffery Bezos? was show around St Mary’s and staplewood, start of the year.

Crazy how we’ve pretty much mirrored Swansea’s rise and fall. Almost a carbon copy.. we just need the yanks to come in an seal the deal.

Why would you assume that? Literally no evidence to suggest either way.

I thought that. I’m not sure a video like that is a good one to judge how good someone is to be honest. Whilst a meaty tackle makes for a good watch, it would suggest he’s either out of position a lot or not tight enough to his man.

I’d have Ashley every day of the week if it was a toss up between him and Gao.

They literally only have champions league football and winning things because of their mega rich owners. There is no reason (other than FFP so it may take a little longer), that if Newcastle new owners want to invest heavily then they can’t achieve what city and Chelsea have in 5-10 years.

Isn’t that why Chelsea and city are both (excluding the Saudi and royal) in that list?

Newcastle on the verge of takeover. Another club that’ll Easily finish above us next season then. Ralph wouldn’t be a bad shout for them, if I’m honest. Not that I think they’d go for him, but give him a Big pot of cash and a reign to put his stamp on a team and I think they’d do very well.

What a weird, weird human you are.

They still receive 90% of their revenue (TV deal, which they won’t end season early because they don’t want to give money back). Match day revenue, is a drop in the ocean to a PL club and isn’t relied upon to make a profit or pay the staff . It’s greedy owners / chairmen taking advantage of a horrible situation.

Agree, But it’s also very very predictable.

LOL.. told you their class wouldn’t take long to shine through

I’ll read the whole question next time

If I’m right in my thinking, we didn’t play them from first season of PL until we met in league 1

Oldham

Bang on, your turn.

I’ll go... Name the 2 forwards involved in a cash + player swap deal in 2007 (neither to or from saints but did involve a manager who would go on to manage us), who would then both go on to play for Saints. Bonus point the manager

Both in the 90’s? I know Cédric was German born, but obviously doesn’t fit.. If I remember rightly Maik Taylor (goal keeper for NI) was German born... or somewhere in that region

I don’t like the idea of any games being played behind closed doors. For me it just further cements that clubs don’t really care about fans and only really care about ££ (it would be the first step to PL games being played in the middle East and USA). Although, arguably, it also demonstrates that the clubs don’t need revenue from fans and should therefore lower the cost of a match day ticket.

I agree. Just pointing out it’s easy to ‘act classy’ when it’s looking like things are very much in your favour.

Personally I think they should both ‘take it on the chin’ and distribute to EFL to keep teams in league 1 / 2, who are really going to feel the brunt of this, going.

19/20 season will always be remembered as the season that was postponed / void due to the Coronavirus. Whatever happens now Liverpool winning the league will just slip into irrelevance and the fact their fans won’t be there to see it is just fantastic. Probably better than the season being voided all together to be honest
