#NUFC has been active 1/5 of the last xfer windows and went into last summer with no DoF or CEO - club has made no moves to develop a new training ground or stadium. Nothing on multi club ownership either. PIF are barely engaged with the club.

I’m not sure Pep and Co would beat a trail to SJP tbh

Not as far as I’m concerned - we’re a terribly run club and Howe has kept us going over the last 2-3 years.

Badly let down by those above him for the last 2 years

Tony Blair criticising Kier Starmer about war in the Middle East, benefits no one other than Kier Starmer.

I can’t find another word to describe Woltermade’s ‘performance’ or the manner in which we defended our goal and how cleared our lines.

The standard of the football has probably never been better admittedly.

Correct. We’re not alone - clubs are being separated from their communities and turned into leisure destinations.

I’m under no illusion that the club wants shot of people like me and to replace us with tourists with their bags packed with official merch.

That’s a terrible decision to give Ramsey a red card - an awful referee all night. Another abysmal official.
