    Nope that doesn't help.

    I tried Googling The Emerald Guard and all I got was a website to a British barbershop quartet:

    Just embrace your inner Chaos.

    Out of all the takeover marquee signings links Kai Havertz is THE one!

    Please!

    Agree with this. He's an absolute megastar in the making. How the hell are Chelsea getting him as well? They've already got Werner, can imagine Abraham would be pissed, and Havertz surely isn't keen to play second fiddle.

    By Steve McLaren. I rest me case.

    They'll be spending North of £200m easily if they get it sorted. Imagine they announce Havertz, Coutinho, Koulibaly, Soumare alongside Rafa/Poch.

    Just having a decent destructive and scouting system and investing wisely over 5 years while increasing revenues.

    That is why PIF are the ones we need. They want to do it right and within FFP which is fine but their connections could double our turnover more or less overnight. Which would sit quite nicely within FFP.

    some reports playing down the money they will spend, but 100 plus million is a huge spend for us. I think these people have no idea how littles been spent under Ashley.

    Yes mate they turn a blind eye to it I am afraid. Most people outside the club think he’s done well for us. They forget that we went from being a top 6 club to relegation fodder within 5 years.

    It's more to do with overall ambition. If we spend £10m+ on a training facility - and Ashley wouldn't spend £3m - alongside revamping the whole backroom, players will want to come. They don't need to quite be Man City, but just some level of ambition would be enough. There's a reason players like Soumare would rather hold out to sit on Liverpool's bench than be focal in NUFC.

    There's enough players out there to build a fantastic team without headliners - Leicester have proven this repeatedly. Spurs got where they are by investing smartly. Nobody wants to copy Glazier's model of overpaying for everybody. Even Liverpool have been smart which allowed them to go spend £70m on both Alisson and Van Dijk.

    there's a false narrative that he spend his money . it's all nonsense.. they make a snap judgement based in what they think and haven't bothered to look into matters to make a respectable judgement.

    Ashley is untouchable ! I mean he was finally caught out with his response to lockdown , then a week after he was 1st to furlough staff... yet despite all the hate filled press towards nufc fans and Saudi there's been no criticism of him... it's unbelievable

    they will bulldoze their way to the top in every area of the business... it might take time but eventually they'll reach the top

    what I will say is that the cockey mafia chants haven't helped. They hear that and effectively they feel were attacking them down there and see him as one of theirs taking **** from northern monkeys ..

    sorry but that's how it works..

    fat bastard was all that was required because it was far more tactful.

    Fcking hell. The court case against Staveley is very eye-opening. I'm going to go back here and state categorically that there will be no takeover by her and this consortium. We are miles away from an actual takeover.

    ****bags. I'm out.

    To be fair we’ve had a pretty destructive scouting system for years.
