Of course Chansiri is to blame for the squad we have, but that was just abysmal. These last four weeks our fan base has done everything we could possibly do for them, and they've given us 0 shots on target against our rivals who have been the worst Blades side we've faced in years. Our defence has conceded 9 times in the opening 15mins of games this season, and how many of those were individual errors playing suicide football?! Teams in our sitution should be building a solid defence and hitting teams on the break and that's what I expected we'd do this season - we're so open and do absolutely nothing with the ball when we have it, almost all of goals this season are from set-pieces or worldies. This team has more than enough Championship experience to be doing more

I know its only a small detail, but we've actually said how long he's contracted. Another detail that just keeps the fans in the loop

Whilst talking about a reference from 1971. Its as if attitudes have been exactly the same forever. Its just lazy

Absolutely. Using an image from a film that came out in 1971 is sooooooooo Gen Z

Just got an assist

I presume Weaver

Mike Ashley didn't want to spend the money on Derby or Reading. If the big hitter rumours are true, then I don't think he will have a chance. He's there to get us if everyone else pulls out and "save us" so we don't get liquidated.

Didn’t KW already say last week that people putting their name into the media are time wasters at this stage?

He's just turned 20 and got a fair few appearences under his name. If we can rebuild the squad he's an extremely useful asset to us.

Who's in the director box

I was taking the ********. It’s a famous deal that came out of nowhere in America - it just goes to show they like to do things quietly without the fan fair. We know there’s been lots of offers for the club these past 12 months, but except the mouthy ones; Shaw, Textor we’re very much none the wiser of who those offers were from. We’re going to hear a lot of names over these next 3/4 weeks. I’m expecting a lot of them will be BS or time wasters. I fully expect the person who takes over will have had very little press coverage until maybe a few days before. I very much think the usual ITK will start hearing less as the offers are going into the administrators and not the club, so the chances of leaks from the good consortiums will be even less

Exactly, just like when they bought the Denver Broncos. All over the media months in advance of their $4.6billion purchase of a club.

Yes, but we will be able to bring people in, which is what I said

You do know that once we're taken over all the transfer embargos will be gone right, as our embargos are all for owed money? The only thing that will remain will be the transfer fee ban, which I'm sure new owners will probably negotiate and will probably as you said the January one. So free transfers and loan signings I'm sure will be signed - pretty sure Kris basically said the same on Friday on Football Heaven too

I think he'll get until the end of the season and they will see what he can do with new signings or just a squad of players (if of course he gets that) But I always thought he was a Stuart Gray type appointment. Someone to tie us over until they can get their own man in

Unless MA offers more money or better payment structure. Their one job is to make the creditors their money back Yes, if they both offer the same money and payment terms, then yes, the Walton group will obviously get it. But like anything, its a negotiation

Yes, passing the EFL/IFR fit and proper test. Its why Textor is very unlikely, as its not an absolute certainty he will pass it with everything that's happened with his clubs over the summer. If Mike Ashley offered a better deal to the administrators (money or payment structure) than the Waltons, Ashley would get it as they're both likely to pass the fit and proper test

I still don't think he'll get it. I don't think he's guarenteed to pass the EFL tests, and just because of that alone, I don't think the administrators will pick him as its part of their remit to pick someone who absolutely will pass. But yes, good PR and shows the level of people who are still interested

The word "understands" is journalist talk for highly likely. If DC decided to pay HMRC within the hour of the story being released, that's not on Staton. His and Alex's information will be that its happening unless DC comes to an agreement with HMRC

But also 17 days from one preferred bidder to pull out to them actually being taken over fully

He’s not playing us. His personal wealth isn’t even in the 100s of million anymore. There’s a reason he’s not putting any of his own personal wealth in because he’s not got enough left - and giving £1m to HMRC will need to come out of his own pocket as he won’t be able to sell assets until January to get enough money into the club and I presume the early bird intake just won’t be enough. The guy is just an idiot. Someone offers £60m, but rejects as he wants £100m. Not worth it, but has to sell stuff to keep club going. Now the club is worth £40m but he wants £60m. And so on. The club after today is basically worthless as nobody will pay a fee to him when they can just wait for admin and pay minimal money.

At least it looks like the end of the Tuna ******** is very very soon now. It does make me sad that this is happening to us again. I just hope whoever comes in makes us a club that never has to go through this again

Probably, but then what? That'll keep him going until April and next installment isn't until August. We know he'll get pennies for Charles and Bailey. Charles will go anyway next summer as he won't be a League One goalkeeper and will have a year left on his contract. He can keep living hand to foot, but it eventually catches up with him. As it says in the notes, the monthly money is less that outgoings currently. He's just going to keep going further and further into the red. What happens when all of our investments have been sold? I'm still adament he'll be gone at some point this season

That's why they let you drink pitchside

They said decades. Advocat left 24 years ago O'Neill 20 years ago Walter Smith 14 years ago I'll give you Rodgers, Ange and Gerrard (only because he had an undefeated season, but lets be honest, he's been underwhelming since). Danny has obviously done nothing yet and has the potential to be one of the best managers in decades, but really, he's not up against a great deal of talent in the last 14 years. I still don't think there's anything in it, and just his agent chatting again.
