    Either they've changed Tact and Rafa is no longer wanted and they're aiming for someone like Conte or its not happening.

    The other possibility is they keep Bruce on until the 3nd of his contract....

    Rafa was the one who brought Staveley to the table and got the ball rolling.

    Literally no news whatsoever.

    I mean even any takeover related news is proper rehash.

    It's on.

    I personally think that the PL have shot themselves in the foot. Trying to convince the world that a state should be appointed director so that they can carry out a test goes against the principles of their own rules and those of UK law.

    That shell lass lives off likes imho.

    Same with Sav mondo who seems to post a selfie of the day pretty much to get likes.

    proper female fans talk about football all the time.. others seem to talk about all sorts including dildos, lack of a ‘boyfriend’, dating sites etc.. and then the odd pic in a nufc top.

    just my personal view.

    I find some girls to know their stuff about football, but I'm not interested hearing their **** every single day about their struggles. It's fine to do it, but not every single ****ing day and as you say not for likes.

    They're always complaining about being single and then making out like they're tired of all the options on tinder.

    This is because they post images that give a false impression as to their appearance which leads them to think they're better looking and desirable in real life.


    I wish they'd just look in the ****ing mirror instead of trying to fool themselves.

    I'm 40 in no ****ing oil painting and tbh once you get above 30 it's over man, so just drop the act and be what you're.

    I think you have to look at the big picture. In terms of building a club of stature, an infrastructure, and so on, someone like Benitez is a very safe pair of hands. On the pitch, you want fans buy in and like it or not Rafa inspires positivity from the stands.

    I firmly agree his football is - at best - practical/functional. But if he’s available and the consortium instead plump for a glamour name in the hope it works is mental.

    He can build and install the starting blocks. The project might take a decade to get us even close to challenging. Rafa can start it off. Breed some new coaches, full staffing etc and then promote within and he moves up to DOF in say 5-7 years if he’s ready.

    I’m convinced Rafa would come in just for a few years to build that framework then move upstairs. He talks of projects and there won’t be many bigger ones longer term.

    Sav Mondo strikes me as a bit of a nut job. She is after likes and attention. Football is secondary. She just appeared out of nowhere and desperate blokes latch on to her.

    Shell - another attention seeker. She was called out on her legal opinions and stops giving them. She might know about corporate crime, but she should keep her trap shut about competition law. I cannot stand that Keith guy, but she claimed that an anti competition case was a waste of time. Trying to backtrack by saying that is not what she said.

    From what I understand from her tweets she does suffer mental health issues and was in a abusive relationship I think.

    absolutely. She once went from talking about a potential team line up to hinting away about what she was going to do with her dildo or something like that. The lads on Twitter lap that **** up.

    did chaos say she only posts airbrushed pics or summat?
