Surely this is a wind up?

ianbishoplegend

When was the last Saturday training session?

Yeoldhammer

This club is going the way of Blackpool / Sunderland / Charlton / Blackburn with the way these clown owners are operating.

IronHerb

And covid is caused by 5G.

claretandbluesky

Brady appears to deal with commercial matters so couldn't imagine her at the training ground, Sully may have wanted get involved in such a way but cant imagine she would have.

yoyo

Along with Newcastle there is no more trash talk about owners than ours. Whether it is to be believed or not, this lot just attract bad news and negativity in everything they're associated with. Can there really be a more despised group of owners by their own fans than ours and the toons?

alderz

Didn’t the Wigan owner put them into administration on day 1? Also if you want to learn about bad owners look up Dnipro’s recent history.

yoyo

alderz, you're right but they don't get pilloried as much as ours. Warranted or not they bring a lot of it on themselves

Clactonite

Must be nonsense, surely Brady would have pointed and said “With regret, you’re fired” Instead if you’re sacked.

Moyes didn’t let Brady into changing room to discuss Diangana sale so she said he’s sacked. And also there was a fight when one player deliberately fouled another then laughed at him.

Don’t really believe it. Not first article I’ve heard has been taken down from a small site in the last few days though.

This is the twitter version.

Surely the sale likely means less time for Masuaku?

Lukerz

Well Moyes is at the U23 game tonight so don’t sound like he is going anywhere.

claretandbluesky

Wondering where he can fill the gaps most likley.

The Daily Mail reckons Noble had a sit down with the board on Sunday and they're all friends again now

IronHerb

He, along with the rest of the team, had a sit-down on Saturday so they could have sorted it then.

EXETERHAMMER

These owners must go. They are very quickly messing our club up. Fed up of them.

yoyo

The whole set up seems poisonous. This is the lowest I've ever felt coming into a season.

They're not going anywhere unless they get an offer so big it would be insanity to refuse it.

Interesting article from Sean Whetstone (who?) that lists several possible candidates who might be interested, half a dozen US outfits, the usual suspects from the Middle East and Red Bull.

they're not selling up until the fee is gone 2023. I still 100% believe they will be gone by 2025.

From memory they won't lose that much if they sell early and a big enough bid could compensate for any loss.

I wonder if perhaps Sullivan wants to cling on until he can leave the club in a good position, maybe its pride more than anything.

baracks_a_hammer

It’s a numbers game. If anyone is prepared to underwrite the penalty, then this issue goes away (should they be open to selling)

Then again, they might want to do as previously promised and pass the business on to their children. I’m just hoping this is another broken promise of theirs

That was all just spiel to help convince us that they'd be here long term, and that the move to the OS would be to our long term benefit, taking us to the next level. All just lies to minimise objections and resistance to the move.

There's no way they intend keeping us long term; they know they're despised by the vast majority of supporters, and their behaviour year on year just makes it worse and worse; if they were keeping us long term they'd look to build bridges, not dig up the foundations of the ones they've already burnt.

They'll leave in 4 or 5 years on a high as we win the championship
