Summer Transfer Window 2025 | Official Thread

Post stubbo-admin »


May as well get going with this since with Sullivan at the helm, season ticket renewals slow, and the football vacuum to commence, this will soon be all the "news" there is.

Can Potter and MacCauley pull multiple rabbits out of the hat, or will Sullivan 'try really hard' with all of them before grabbing a few aging bargains from Big Willie Salthouse?

Window this close season comes in two parts:

Part 1: 1st June to 10th June

I find it interesting that the rat Carragher has stated that the fee wanted for Isak is too high and should be more realistic. I remember when we were selling Rice most of the Sky mob were trying to undermine the value we had put on him.
Almost seems as Newcastle are not welcome at the big 6 table.

Nelson Deossa another player we were linked with for about 15 minutes last week has found his way to Betis pretty sharpish...

It's clearly made up.
Looks like he's going to Napoli with just a 10second google.
That was indeed my thinking too!

You can tell Jordan, smug cսnt he is himself, has a special loathing for Sullivan and the way he does business. I am sure it’s shared by many other current and ex owners.

And as this link suggests, many others in the game agree:

A damning indictment of Sullivans stewardship of the club but ultimately water off a duck's back thicker skin than a crocodile.
 
 
It's a very good watch and nothing that anybody who is a fan and has been paying full attention hasn't been saying for all these years. You also get Jim White on Talksport who still tries to defend the regime but even he can sense it's starting to wear thin. Credit to Simon Jordan who has always been consistent and has stated from day one that Sullivan has his own way of doing business and regularly hints/intimates that he will rigidly stick to it regardless of any other input. He calls the shots and doesn't like delegating responsibility to others. He has to tread very carefully though because he knows the tinpot dictator will sue anyone for libel if he sniffs the opportunity. It's pretty obvious if you can read between the lines. 

They definitely know...but every season it keeps the callers on the line...

Both of them teams are part of the so-call Top Six. BOTH finished lower than us.! Sure an odd cup keeps the Barbarians from the gates. But neither of these clubs are getting their hands on a Premiership trophy any time soon.
Sure they both had bad seasons. Both clubs ownerships have made bad choices. They haven't fucked with their managers' plans though and have made a lot of funds available every time for a squad to be built the way the manager wanted it done. Both will likely finish ahead of us this season. Both have won more than we have in recent history. Both of them, I'd probably swap owners in a heartbeat.
No one coming to our rescue Scorch. Even if we dropped into the Championship. The fanbase would go back in droves. The only way we get rid of Sullivan is if the money disappears.
And if Sullivan falls off his perch we got Sullivan Jnr waiting in the wings who’s shaping up to be an even bigger cսnt if that’s possible. The only way we are shot of the Sullivan family is if someone offers what they deem the club to be worth, which is almost certainly more than the club is actually worth.

The Glazer's don't seem to be in a hurry to leave the building. And most ManU fans feel they a useless cunts.!
The Glazers, to be fair, no matter what shenanigans they are pulling behind the scenes with club finances and the state of their stadium have always backed their managers handsomely in the transfer market and absolutely given them the finances to succeed. They've just made some fucking poor manager choices in the last decade looking for a quick fix when they needed more of a sea change, which has lead to the situation they've been in. 
Spurs fans are always moaning about Levy. He's multitudes better at running a football club than Sullivan.
Two fucking awful examples.

The Glazers put little in and loaded the club up with debt and take money out
Theyve let the managers spend the money the club generates and then Sir Jim Catweazle came along and gave them more than they’ve ever put in for a minority share 
No wonder they want to keep the magic money tree
Love their work!
