Last night was probably as good an outcome as we could have wished for. The North London Yobbos lose, their fans don't get anything to get even gobbier about than they already are. Most scousers wanted the League title which they didn't get. Liverpool win it low key fashion involving a debatable penalty in a poor game. This won't be remembered as one of those "special European nights... " forever more. They've won it five times before so are no more insufferable than they already are. Shame VD got a winners medal, but as much of a c^nt as he is, you can't deny his talent . Amusing to see Oxlade -Chamberlain's ugly mug in the press celebrating as his contribution was f^ck all. No doubt Nivea will dine out on being an integral part of it as well.

Hardly an area we can take the p!ss.

Ralph K also promised Gao's Five Pledges would be available in February. I think that may have been in February 2018. This is not to suggest Ralph deliberately misled anyone but when you consider his sources for such information were probably Gao himself and the ever reliable Les Reed I'm not sure we should take this as gospel.

Did Reed negotiate any extra ££ in the event of Lolvren, Nivea, Mane or VD winning the CL ? Probably not, but might offer some crumb of comfort.

Club hedging their bets in anticipation of LD Sports not being around too long.

In the same way Sadio Mane did ? I know what you mean but they do sell elsewhere.

Isn't that an umlaut over the 'o' ?

Although the official line was that the yanks didn't want to sell. I've not read anything about insufficient funds but would be pleased to see it. Probably not in the Micky Fialka (or whatever his name was) pauper state either though.

My initial thought also, although he had a pretty good defence in front of him at one time.

Although our hand was weakened to some degree by MP's publicly taking the "no deal off the table".

This is where I expected to end up three years ago but we've allowed the EU to set the agenda in that time by progressing through the divorce arrangements etc. But not sure the EFTA/EEA would resolve the Irish border issue so it could be some years coming to this agreement.

Charlton ? If we heavily subsidise his wages.

Apart from the hairstyle don't forget.

As did Marshall for Cardiff some years ago when they last played in the top flight.

B0ll0cks !! Duplicate post

No doubt Les Reed secured his services on a 15 year contract with terms no other club would look to match, and we can't afford to offload.

But can we also trust Bunsen's successors,whoever the task now falls to, to get the deals done ? .

Athletic Bilbao for comparison: http://www.footballshirtculture.com/19/20-Kits/athletic-bilbao-2019-2020-new-balance-home-kit.html

No chance, unless a loan which is highly doubtful. He's already been linked with bigger clubs than us. Leipzig do appear to have stockpiled a couple of useful future prospects in him and Konate. At a push they may be willing to release Orban. If we offer enough, and he kicks up about wanting to be reunited with Ralph.

Some caution required according to this article: https://www.footballfancast.com/premier-league/southampton/southampton-would-be-getting-it-wrong-signing-one-season-wonder-haris-seferovic Certainly it won't happen if the £54m release clause is required.

Probably being underplayed by the media though with Man City doing it. Had it been Utd or Liverpool the Media W^nkfest would be in full swing for a week.

Good. We should definitely buy him then and loan him to Sunderland, or even Forest Green, just to p!ss the skates off.

Annoying but not necessarily critical providing they are not buying into the club only sponsoring the shirt. Air Florida went pop and were soon replaced if you remember that far back. What is worrying is the background and what sort of dubious business circles Gao is taking the club in.

Is he the character who ran on to the pitch at Old Trafford in full kit at the start of the season showing off his ball control etc only to see the deal fail a few months later ? Anyway, I suspect this is a Mandaric- Gaydamark- Fialka - Ridsdale consortium in the background. With financial advice from Barry the Briefcase.
