The Friedkin Group - Dan & Ryan Friedkin [19/07/2024] Purchase Talks Over.

[Moomin]

Not the first time. Likes quoting random members of the public and passing it off as fact.

Previously admitted to quoting a reader comment from toffee web and acted like it was a quote from the Athletic.

You can find quotes to back any argument up online if you dont care about truth or using a genuine source.

He is a seasoned liar.

Jerk? Salt & Pepper?

Jerk? Salt & Pepper?

Proper Jerk.

The Athletic recently said "No person has ever deserved a swirley more than Damo_1878".

So, an oligarch. Worked out well last time.

It would have done if events hadn't occurred.

But even he didn't have the wealth we should be looking to attract. No one can tell me that two midden clubs like Newcastle and City, with a thimbleful of our history and prestige, can attract that type of wealth and we cant.

Haha wow that’s some about turn from you.

 

[PhoenixIreland]

What a mess.

 

[Frenk]

Didn’t Usmanov successfully sue Forbes for stating he had ties to Putin? This is all very weird, if they can’t prove it why on earth was he sanctioned? Was it solely for not condemning Putins actions?

I'm surprised that this is your view, David, given your moralising on almost all other issues.

Indentured servitude, human rights abuses, corporate homicides, state sanctioned assassination, repression of women and LGBTQ+ peoples all gravy for the owners of EFC?

The name Bramley Moore, because of it's association with slavery (see list above), with EFC not cool?

Weird.

Not the actions of people with $11B.

But people with 21 billion do?

Manchester United to make 250 staff members redundant

That's not a football club, it's a global corporation. They do that sort of thing they do, dont they? They have HR departments that operate almost aloof from owners.

Roma aren't in that league.

Do you think John Moores was a good man?

He was a sectarian bigot and he ran a gambling business.

There's no clean money in top flight football. If you cant handle that then maybe it's not an environment for you.

Haven't you only just got back, and Saturday evening fare is this opening salvo?

Double or bust eh?!

Good to see @davek back and a robust exchange of views
