    Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is reportedly in London looking to buy the club

    Anybody who thinks this would be a good move will be taken onto the Skywalk and given a hefty shove in the direction of thin air

    This is probably fake news released by ENIC so fans feel grateful the club isn’t owned by Jerry Jones

    probably true

    from what I hear, that guy is the Levy of NFL and the Dallas Cowboys are the Spurs of NFL

    He's the exact opposite

    The only reason the Cowboys won back-to-back Super Bowls in the 90s is because the NFL didn't have a salary cap so he just chucked money around, and as soon as the salary cap was lifted they won jack ****

    More than anything else, there's several more valid comparisons
    i. Todd Bollo, as he's decided that as he owns the Cowboys he should also be de facto head coach
    ii. Malcolm Glazer, given he keeps giving his sons jobs at the Cowboys they are patently not qualified for
    iii. Jim Ratfink, because he has the attitude that owning the club means he should get the attention those pesky players and coaches get

    Ally Gold's already poured cold water on the Jones stuff.

    I just read up on him on Wiki too, he's 82... he should be enjoying taking his grandchildren/ great grandchildren on yachts and stuff, not bothering to take over a club that will give 20 year olds heart attacks, let alone senior citizens.

    So that's why he was looking at us: he ran out of non-jobs to give his sons at the Cowboys, so needed a new franchise to get his grandkids employed

    I have no interest an American football but someone I work with is delighted as he's a Dallas Cowboys fan , he's hoping that Jones will sell the Cowboys, if we think Enic are bad ,wait to see the mess Jones will make of the club

    The club has announced they have partnered with Netflix to support the second season of Squid Game, with the Saltypool and Wolves matches effectively becoming promotional gigs for the show

    Not sure if it's a good idea for us to partner with something that was a good idea on paper but got dull and repetitive long before the first season ended, as is the style for 90% of Korean TV shows I've watched, as that sounds uncannily like a few former managers I could mention...

    I have absolutely no interest in this gig, but fair play to Fiddy for calling out Diddy for years.

    I assume all music gigs at new WHL are certified Epstein/Diddy-free.

    Diddy had his bail denied three times, so all gigs are currently free of his presence, thankfully.

    Bentancur's ban upheld, unsurprisingly.

    I'd still love to know what gets six matches. I suspect that they don't even know and will just apply it randomly.

    Beyonce meant we had second-hand Diddy from Jay-Z and that 100th problem he decided he really needed

    I think the only term and condition is "not a Spurs player".

    Footy headlines are usually spot on with our kit leaks and so if this is legit, it’s the first good away shirt in years. Black kits hit different. May even buy it, not bought a Spurs shirt in yonks.

    Might be a ploy to win more penalties. We're more likely to get them if the cretins at Stockley Park think a fellow ref has been fouled in the box.

    They would have to be cretins if they think Refs wear black

    Considering the people they think are qualified to officiate a top flight football match, they clearly are Creteil
