Yep that’s sports Direct in a nut shell ?

48 hrs mate ?

48 hrs mate ?

48 hrs mate ?

Absolutely not........ 
 
Pompous wind-baggery on the other hand...... ?

We shouldn’t have to put up with relentless drivel. Not on this forum.

They want some naparmo, that’ll shut em up.

Just wait 48 hours they’re be in sports direct (itg)

Wow you’re really taking the high ground. Telling someone to get out more and learn about life, the world and everything in it. Well I agree totally with DCFC27. And you can’t accuse me of being short sighted. I worked for 30 years on British aid projects abroad mainly in developing countries, from the Caribbean, to Africa, the Middle East, India and Malaysia. Oh and Kazakhstan. I’ve experienced different customs, food, heat, ways of thinking. I’ve been arrested, I had to flee rebels in Sierra Leone, caught Malaria. So I’ve, to quote you, learnt more about life, the world and everything in it that I suspect you have. So try to not be so condescending to a fan who just wants the best for his team. OK, rant over, back to my beer.

Well he ain’t no Roman(Abramovich) I’ll grant you that 

Honestly do not understand those who can’t see the positives in this. 
 
Before this news, we had Appleby as only bidder, his offer rumoured not to be enough which made the prospect of a long protracted painful restructuring plan most likely and starting next season on -15 points. This bid takes that all off the table and also gives us the stability we need to keep as much of the squad together as possible and ensures we don’t sell prize assets for peanuts! Forest can duck off now they ain’t getting Buchanan unless they pay top dollar!!!
The potential delay with him being so late in the process is irrelevant (although looks like he’s moving quickly), due to embargo restrictions around admin we’re limited as to what we can do anyway, priority is to try and keep this group together and extend likes of Buchanan etc.
Also, if Appleby has serious backers he may come back for another bid. This can only be good news.
As for all the Geordie fans on Twitter (apart from the few who actually talk sense and say this is a good thing) Newcastle is a completely different situation to Derby. They’d just been in Champions League but that was all done with heavy spending from rich owners who were Geordie fans living the dream, not sustainable and saddled with debt when he took them over. Most Geordies were blissfully ignorant of the mess they were in. We’re at Rock Bottom, need saving, Ashley is perfect for us right now, there will come a time whether in the championship or premier league where we want more ambition but we’re miles away from that right now.

Note that it is called Pride Park because it came about through a government project i worked on for a time in the 1990s called City Pride where councils could apply for funding to develop derelict areas. Derby’s application was successful, along with several others. Nothing to do with a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction, which I am getting now. No not that, the idea of Ashley taking over. Great news.

Old Wazza really has grown into the role hasn't he. His interviews are actually quite watchable now and he comes across really well. He's definitely growing on me as a bloke let alone what the team are doing at the moment. Fair play to the bloke, he's caused himself some right grief in the past but he's doing a decent job for us. 

Tipped for the top

That’s put me in a quiver.

I'll still call it pride park no matter what name is on the signage, so as long as the wonga rolls in , I'll be happy. 

Anyone is better than nobody.
To misquote Wilde, 
"There is only one thing worse than having a football club to support, and that is not having a football club to support."

Best player, recently though. A good five games now.

Well he ain’t no Roman(Abramovich) I’ll grant you that 

Reminds me of a joke about an inflatable school-boy at an inflatable school caught with 3 drawing pins in his pocket by the headmaster...
Headmaster: " You've not just let your school down, you've let your class down and, most of all, you've let yourself down!"
 

So Mick your saying you don’t know that much about her ?

Stalker?
