    It does make you wonder though considering they've passed all the tests that's required.I wouldn't have paid much interest because it's not my team but I would have been aware of previous takeovers/new owners etc the Glaziers&Man U/Sugar&Spurs/Arsenal/Leicester/Cardiff/L'pool/S'land/City/Chelsea and I can't remember any of those ever taking so long,maybe it did.

    OK getting the booze, drugs, party poppers and strippers ordered for Thursday then.

    You'd better be right.

    You can't tell me that Sheffield United have better players than us. No ****ing way. Yet they are 2 points off Europe. Surely that is down to the manager! We stay up! ****ing WOW!! Bruce is a poor to average manager in the Premier League. We can't give this guy £100m+ to strengthen the team. He's served his purpose, thank you Steve, but it's goodbye and good luck. You will get another good gig/payday because of this. You will say that you never had a chance and if you had been allowed to continue you would have been a success. Your career history tells another story mate.
    Thank you and goodbye!

    Bruce is doing what Bruce normally does. Has a good/competent season or two, then things go tits up. Get rid NOW!!!! In the back of his mind he'd be hoping for a mass pay off as a result of the takeover. His opinion poll at an all time high, receiving a massive slap on the back, he'll get a wodge of cash, and he'll walk into the next lower Premier/upper Championship type job. Town get a decent manager in. Everybodies happy!

    Yas.

    Assuming take over goes through, we need to aim higher than Bruce.

    Hes had a season at his dream job, and don't better than expected and his reputation over here has gone up massively. He can leave on a high with a good rep here and we go on to bigger things.

    Sorry, I can't make Thursday as my costumes are at the launderette. Could make Saturday if that's okay?

    Rafa coming back is worse than the takeover failing, I'd rather dangle my wet bollocks over an electric fence than watch the sh!te he served up.

    As he rightly points out, his record is 0 for 4 at the moment, and he has a few hours til he goes to 0 for 5. The problem with people like him is his "source" - likely to be something like a SJP groundsman or similar. To add context, Alex Bruce and his "source" know nothing about the takeover.

    The best we can probably hope for is a few days of silence from someone like Caulkin. His 'sources' are on the buyers side - quite probably AS herself. When they go quiet - rather than constant updates of "they're optimistic" - then it's likely to mean something larger is happening. You can probably add Paul Smith, Duncan Castles, Henry Winter, etc., into that list. The media has gone a bit more quiet - Craig "Stab In The Dark" Hope has said something, but that tends to mean nowt. Notably, not one major publication has put up a "takeover to fail" bit of news for days.

    Are you available for all occasions? It's my dad's birthday soon, and I'm looking for an improvement on the syphallis ridden ladyboys I hired for him last year.

    Yes, just let me know nearer the time.

    Plus what did you expect when you hired Chippy, Nev and Jak the last time?

    Day 102 in the takeover house. Nothing happened.

    I’m so bored of this ****. Honestly couldn’t give a toss now.

    More interested in what happens in the games now and I’m actually quite enjoying watching them.

    Even the news in the know people have realised that their lies and fake predictions are totally drying up.
