Comment #3Luke Edwards has made a statement that he hardly thinks that the FA would send a letter without checking the facts! I’ve queried with Luke that In assume the letter has been made public so individuals can make informed and educated statements on it? I await his reply. As I’m sure no reporter would write an article without seeing the letter? Luke if your reading it’s not a dig, just want to make sure it’s factual, as very little has seemed so up to this point in this whole saga!

Comment #4Barrow, he’s a pretty good journo I think? I think he may have criticised benitez once or twice or not said Ashley was worse than Hitler so I think our anally retentive oil rig toolbox had a go at him.

Stop reading between the lines, troublemaker. You’re suppost to absorb the narrative without asking questions. Aren’t you happy you can now see 5 other people if you want? Doggie want another bone?

Comment #6Munster he may be, however I would like to know if any of them have seen said letter, if they have fair enough that’s some real meat on the bones (sorry Kev just an expression). If not it should be treated as bollocks.

Comment #11Kev,
My daughter and her husband are vegan so I fully get you. It’s patently obvious that you have only been answering questions about veganism and have not in any way been evangelising.
I don’t know what has got into hibbit because he’s not usually like that. You seem to have inadvertently upset him in some way. The only thing I can think of is that you suddenly appeared on the blog, made it patently obvious that you have not been a regular reader (in that you don’t know who anyone is) and suddenly every third or fourth post was you conversing enthusiastically with everyone around. Is there anything wrong with that? Well, no but it doesn’t take much to irritate or annoy some on here.
Anglo Saxon said to you at 8:07pm tonight “tip, not loads of posts but quality post is the way forward”. You may have missed that but it is good advice. Don’t flood the blog with your posts. It sort of gives the impression of an exited puppy in a new environment.
You’re a good poster. Don’t be intimidated by hibbit – he’ll calm down in time (and everyone ignores Nufc 4ever). But maybe just take Anglo’s advice. I hope you take this in the spirit it is given.

Comment #12Read it Mund, I posted the last two comment on the previous so went back to see if anyone had replied.
Mad tale that mate. Does your contact still work for Ashley? Not sure how to interpret any of that but it’s certainly fuel for a few outrageous conspiracy fires.

Comment #13It’s possible that we are separating mbs from the Saudi state, which may be wishful thinking in terms of the takeover?

Comment #16Actually he doesn’t he was involved in distribution and i think the he and another firm got the contracts for a lot of the distribution during this pandemic for the NHS.
I have no idea really because at the time and why it was out the blue was because he was my uncle by marriage and he just broke up with my auntie after 48 yr or something anyways when my mother found out I rang him she went ballistic, which I though was dramatic and I’m a grown man of 38 and nobody at that age wants to be told off by mammy lol but the story thickens because he saw an opportunity to stick the knife in and told my 2 cousins my aunties daughters not his, he was there stepfather growing up, he told them I rang him saying next time you come through let’s go out get some food, have a drink and go watch a game. By no means did I say that, I rang asking about one thing and my cousins ran back to my auntie who then ran back to my mam. Then I got it in the neck.
So short story long nah don’t keep in touch neemore

Comment #19Dog,
Thanks for the advice. I have been posting a lot to be fair, but seem to have been asked a lot of questions. I’ll be back to work at some point and now we’re allowed back outside again I’ll be on here less anyway, but I guess a lot of people wanted to work me out, so I’ve had a busy week here since I started posting more.

Comment #24Good evening all, had a great ride out today, was hoping for some good news re takeover but its the same old BS headlines.
So, indykaila has made the latest mischievous comment on Twatter without any proof at all, and i guess it will be all over the press soon as fact.
How about this as the latest news then. The deal is off. My info is as good as the goon on Twitter.

Comment #39So the FA are in on having a pop at the Saudis over showing old FA Cup footage of the toon from the 90’s, they have been apparently showing footage illegally, this is becoming a stitch up, excuse after excuse to halt the deal, I think the Qatari’s have been passing the brown envelopes around again, ie World Cup selection, this is reeking the gaff out.
