Nonsense 

Just a quick note to say 'thanks'. Without your relentless positivity I doubt many of us would have made it through these most trying of times ?

I love it when people get anal about punctuation!

Language Timothy ?

It really is bonkers how the club hasn't really had a quiet few months for 7 or 8 years at least now.
Thorne going on strike and then finally getting a move and getting injured within days. Albentosa and the innersoles. Butterfield's arrest because of his toe-nibbling mate. Pearson's suspension due to a bust up with Mel over apparent drone usage to spy on training.  Sam Rush's sacking, the 2 million Mbappe/Dembele scouting mission with the Ince family and the resulting court case. The Cardiff video from their players about Keogh and Shackell. Spygate. Mel selling the stadium to himself. The drunken car crash. Rooney signing and the 32Red controversy. FFP breaches. Ramage and his racist comments. Wisdom getting stabbed. A rumoured investor (Gabay) being arrested over a tax scandal. The fake sheikh Mel spent months negotiating with. Erik Alonso and the time wasted with him. The inter-changeable EFL fixture list. The EFL fine and what seemed like never-ending appeals until they got what they wanted as a punishment. Marriott's contract extension clause being activated in January only for the EFL to essentially rip up his contract in the summer allowing him to leave for nowt. Starting the season with 12 senior players and having to beg the EFL to let us add more. Rooney injuring Knight in training. The points deductions. Administration. Wycombe and Boro make it known they plan to take legal action against the club. The never-ending EFL/administrators/preferred bidder deadlines we've heard about for months. All of that within a decade for a second tier club! And that doesn't include the multiple times Mel didn't pay wages, half of the dumb stuff the EFL have done involving us, youngsters being nabbed left and right and more. Can we please just get back to having a boring club to support where our only worries are injuries, transfers and results. ?

If they decide to switch to Mike Ashley (or anyone else), it's almost like starting from scratch - he's going to have to go through all the EFL business plan stuff again, Quantuma are going to have to redo all the waterfall stuff again if the purchase price/model is different and so on.  We're almost certainly going to need funding for this months wages while that's going on.  And Ashley is not going to start putting in money in while all that's going on, because it could all still fall through.
If they extend Kirchner's exclusivity period again, I'm going to assume it's because there has been some kind of positive movement this week, behind the scenes.

Think you’ve got it down to a tee 

So far he and his wife have reacted with good grace to all of this and have come across really well but some of them are so stalker-like!

It's important learning for him. Once he owns us he knows how every single loss the team has is debated in a measured and reasonable matter. On twitter.

Cue today's wild speculation! 
Poor bloke can't tweet about anything without the Derby massif piling in.
 

I made a bet with myself how many puns would be posted in response.
So far I'm winning, I went for four, tops.

Plenty of laptop opportunities in Thailand so I hear.

I’m sure he’ll be grateful for your business advice ?

No news is good news.

Love the hypocritical flip flopping.
Q should be listening to all bids, even the ones which don't exist, not entering into periods of exclusivity or extending them for any one bidder. That's the correct way to do things because I say so, even though I know nothing about the internal workings of the process I've decided that I know better than them and they're wrong. They're obviously wrong because it hasn't been sorted yet!
What's that? Q were listening to all bids on the table 3 months ago? OMG are they idiots? Why were they doing that? What they should have been doing instead of wasting time encouraging and weighing up various bids is just selected one and got on with it! Why? Because I say so, even though I know nothing about the internal workings of the process I've decided that I know better than them and they were wrong. They're obviously wrong because it hasn't been sorted yet!

Ahhhh, another Monday…

He's probably had enough and just thought Phuket.

Take a walk CB .. and stay off this forum For a bit. And stay off twitter too if that’s your thing. 

Didn’t CK call him a f…head back in December?!

Wasn't there an issue with CK calling MM something derogatory on his twitter account a few months back before CK came back to be PB?

My one pleasure of this afternoon is the Middlesbrough result. Karma.

I’m constantly amazed at the number of posters who make bold and often derogatory statements about MM as though they are factual. We can make assumptions about his thinking on the stadium and MA, based on what little we actually know but that’s all they are - assumptions. The only real fact is that we just don’t know. In my work, I’d be very wary of passing assumptions of as facts. Yes the various stories behind MM’s machinations could  be true but who knows. The old saying often trotted out in training courses is that “to assume makes an ass out of u and me”.
