You know jack shit, Ashley wanted Bruce over Wenger? Ok imagine you are right and that’s a fact, can you understand why we think Ashley is off the map at times.

Mate , you have no idea how stupid your post sounds, unless we are owned by an idiot, you agree?

Bruce over Wenger?

I don't mind.

Bruce on the cheap for 3 years.

Wenger on a fortune for 12 months?

Alreet.

In fairness, I don't need to prove myself on here...I posted what I was told and it was true.

Don't have a huff with me because you didn't get Wenger who won trophies with other clubs.

Didn’t get Wenger, he wasn’t our number one choice remember? You are talking shite mate and have been called out to prove it, you can’t, it just doesn’t add up , why did BFS and Moyes recently come out PUBLICLY and say they turned it down, we’re they lying? You never answered that.

I posted what I heard the day after I heard it - long before the appointment.

They may have approached people after I posted what I was told - but the info I was given was that SB was target 1.

NUFC may have wobbled. SW may not have played ball and they had to look elsewhere, I don't know.

I'm not in the habit of lying on here.

My sources at both SAFC and NUFC are impeccable and wouldn't lie to me. I sometimes don't post stuff I know.

On this occasion, I did.

You said the list was 3, none of BSA and Moyes appeared on it, Wenger and Gatusso were never strongly reported on, you seriously are telling me that both were not ahead of Bruce?

This is epic, only beaten by Grayskull being better than Rafa :lol:

It was 3 - check my posts.

It's amazing, it's like the papers might not really know what is going on.

Check with some of the posters....who lumped on SB after they decided to trust me when the paper reported the £9.5m figure long after I posted it on here.

You don't have to believe me mate - but I'm not lying about anything. I posted what I was told.

I don’t believe you 100% , good night, I won’t check with any posters as you can’t back it up.You lost credibility with the list of 3, utter shite.

I don't bother reading most of the shit you post but I'd read that one post and quoted it and even helped you by highlighting the part of the quote in blue about your claim of many top 10 finishes as the reason why I was replying and not much else about your post. I'll highlight your delusional claim again as it was yes we "were" a top 10 side for many seasons before him. You didn't really read my post as it's far from making shit up, it's f***ing fact you weren't there for many seasons before Ashley and it was due to buying success thanks to the money in the developing league but NUFC still overspent :lol: The last paragraph is at all mags, not just you, hence it starting with "The mags" :lol::lol:

Aye we all know you had 7 seasons in 2 spells of being a top 10 team, (8 in 15 seasons prior to Ashley) but most know why. It was all down to Hall/Shepherd spending millions in the newly developing and money increasing Premier League/Champions League that allowed this to happen. Leeds and Blackburn for example did exactly the same thing but crashed and burned as they couldn't sustain it. You had Shearer off course and he certainly helped in the 2nd spell of being top 10 scoring 62 League goals over those 3 seasons. NUFC were probably heading the way of Leeds and Blackburn but Ashley bought NUFC without looking fully into the finances.

Even though I said it without looking into the detail, now I have, I'll explain even more as to why you were a bottom half team before the big spending in the 90's and Shearer. Your average position for the 5 seasons you were in Division 1 starting from 1984/85 before the start of the Premier League was exactly 14th, finishing top 10 once in 8th. You were in Division 2 in the 6 seasons prior to 1984/85 from 1978/79. In the rest of the 70's, the average Div 1 position was 12.875 and you finished top 10 twice, 5th and 9th. So 3 top ten positions prior to the Premier League since the 1970's.

In the 40 seasons prior to the PL, the average position is 13.33 finishing top 10 8 times out of 27 seasons or once just over every 3 seasons. Ashley's average PL positions over the 10 seasons has been 12.9 and you've been top 10 on average just over every 3 seasons. So it seems normal service has been resumed regarding average position and top 10 frequency. You've never really been a top 10 team for a long time, apart from those few seasons of 'bought' success that cannot be repeated since the league/finances/money/rules have now completely changed. Even if FFP didn't exist, to attempt to do what NUFC, Leeds, Blackburn did in the 90's now would be financial suicide given the development of the big 6 unless some billionaire was willing to risk £100's of millions to sustain being at the top. As I said, the Mags need to accept they're back where they belong before Hall/Shepherd spending and be grateful they aren't financially in the shit.

Where have I said all players have to be over 29?

If you're going to run it through some ridiculous filter and interpret my suggestion that we abolish our strategy of ignoring every target over 29 as me saying every purchased player has to be over 29 there's no point in discussing it with you tbf.

I've noticed you haven't even offered up a single team to any of the questions I posed, nevermind supplying a whole raft of names if your suggestion of 'very few' is correct.

Aye I've seen that and it's amusing to see that some Mags have also compared themselves to Spurs in terms of 'big' club and growth etc :lol:

Anyway, I shot them their hopes of being like Spurs to shit and why it all went wrong for them in the end in reply to Benjaminge in these few posts! ;)




He didn't say anything else again in that thread :lol::lol: I must stop replying to them though as I tend to say a bit too much and it's probably a waste of time as it's probably beyond their understanding. I guess I can't help it when you see some of the deluded shite they come out with and it's amusing to see them squirm! The NET spend argument they come out with gets me every time! :lol::lol:
