    Of course they didn't, if they were serious about making a success of it they would have asked Rafman for his advice.

    I think that same info will be available to the new owners should any member clubs try on anything daft, ie blocking sponsorship.

    Well, so you can read the newspapers as well I see. As if they would say that so early.

    No, no, no no, no, you're wrong.

    I have it on very good authority (ie Tobes) that that played absolutely no part whatsoever in the takeover (which I also have on very good authority ie Tobes won't go through) actually going through and that it was just the Saudi's backing down that enabled the takeover ( which won't go through) to ...go through.

    Tobes is an anagram of 'always right'

    I have no idea as it will be part of the sale agreement. Don’t be surprised to see some form of sports direct advertisement remaining but certainly not as prevalent.

    I guess it gives them time to get our multi million new sponsors lined up.

    correct
    the takeover took them by surprise as they were expecting a long drawn out legal battle
    hence why Bruce was allowed to conduct one last game

    Sule for certain
    Trippier, yes so long as we get the more important positions sorted first as we're can survive with Manquillo
    Dembele, no. Not because he's not good but because he's more injured than Darren Anderton used to be
    Ramsey, I'm not sold on.

    Trippier cheap at 15m and he’s a good player and excellent at set pieces (Shelvey freekick gives me nightmares).
    Sule scares the **** out of me.
    Ramsey is a very good player and would be free. Can’t lose.
    Dembele I agree. But he’s a fantastic player when fit.
    Coutinho (linked elsewhere) was amazing for Liverpool but is a free.

    There is a lot of free potentials that we could get in aswell.

    I'm not turning my nose up at Trippier but right back is second to last position we need.

    Ramsey supposedly good but left for Juventus and has looked **** there. Is that a blip or has age got the better of him? Also free transfers means a tonne in wages
