I hope we continue to run the club sustainably and I don't ever expect our owner to put in a penny (more) of her personal wealth.

If Cortese was still here that offer would be straight in the bin.

What does 4th richest in the Prem mean? We're not 4th richest in the Prem.

The Batman Everton klaxon goes off at least once a day, every day.

For who?

Sometimes it is quite difficult to follow your rather scattergun contributions to this debate.

You do realise this gullible "Joe Public" person you are sneeringly referring to is the person that you need to vote for Jeremy Corbyn, don't you?

I would think the contract he's under now is probably the reason he will stay for another season. Mane is really not worth the, say, £28m they'd need to pay to get him. I like him a lot but I think United would be bonkers to spend that kind of money on Mane after one season in the Prem and I think they won't. Hoping it's a bit of a PR ruse on their part to muffle their own transfer failure today.

Except Statler and Waldorf agree. S-Clarke is diametrically opposed to Alpine's drivel.

Well done on maintaining your high standard of idiocy.

LOL.

Tory.

https://medium.com/@Labour_Pains/13-reasons-not-to-vote-for-jeremy-corbyn-as-leader-of-the-labour-party-11d5656cac88 This is a great summary of why not to vote Jeremy. Obviously this guy getting a bit of grief on twitter from assorted Jezabel dinlows demanding he SHOW SOME EVIDENCE THAT CORBYN CAN'T WIN IN NUNEATON!!!

Let's hope the plane with the #sacktheboard banner does the trick come Thursday.

Some similarities though. MPs seem to pick the candidate for who/what he wasn't rather than what he was. And like IDS, our Jeremy will be lucky to get through two party conference seasons without being booted out.

You have no idea how Corbyn will perform at PMQs as he has never once stood at the front bench for anything in thirty odd years in the house. Let's see how calm he is defending the entire party and all policies he has accountabily for. This is is somewhat different to making the odd speech to heartland activists and cherry picking pet topics to pontificate on from the back benches from a cosy position of never being troubled to actually do anything.

Nothing says "down with nepotism and self-interest" than a candidate entirely in bed with the union bloc.

He's been in the Commons for 30 odd years and never once actually had any responsibility for a department or team in shadow or actual government. Never had to truly fight a cause he actually has responsibility to deliver. Being a rebel in a gigantic majority government, or a singular voice in an weak, listless opposition = these things are not difficult. Corbyn has never been tested. We'll see how he performs when he has been tested. If he wins, the playing to the gallery and preaching to the choir will stop.

Completely. He'll be openly mocked. People like Andy Burnham will need to think hard about whether they want to be sat next him on the front bench when the Tories are just laughing at them.

I think we need Corbyn to win, now. The whole thing will burn out, probably by the conference of 2017, leaving enough time for the party to end up with a leader (Hunt or Chukka, whose non-running in this sh it storm looks like a masterstroke now) who might just be able to take Boris on in 2020. Corbyn not winning is likely to create a "we are the 45%" level of interminable sour grapes at grass roots that will just drag on if anyone else is leader. So, let the Corbyn-ites have their little moment and we can all sit back and watch how someone who has spent the last 30 odd years in cosy backbench heaven copes with the requirement to compromise, negotiate, make decisions, lead a team and be held accountable for every decision. Deep down we know Corbyn doesn't really want to be leader. When he is he might begin to appreciate the challenge it brings compared to just being "principled" and cherry picking whichever party policies he wants to rebel against or otherwise. And let's see how he copes in the 24 hour news spotlight when the narrative changes from "isn't it jolly exciting about this chap with a beard, he might win" to the weekly grind of forming a coherent opposition and appealing to the millions of normal people who live a world away from the excitable two hundred Labour activist cheerleaders at Ealing town hall. The news agenda rolls on, and once he's leader he is going to see it roll over him.

In fairness I think the inclusion of Forte was quite funny and I am sorry I missed it.

Waaaaaaah.
