Ashley is more competent than The Douche, but he is at least as bad a person and owner. He demands an actual profit each year and usually gets it. They have been relegated twice in his tenure. Newcastle has turnover in the PL that routinely ranks 7th-8th and attendances that equal Liverpool but their TOTAL net transfer budget the last 3 seasons combined according to Transfermarkt is minus £8M! That ranks dead last among the teams currently in the PL and behind at least half a dozen teams in The Championship. He uses the stadium to advertise his company, Sports Direct, without a fee, costing the club millions in money each year and he refuses to upgrade their training ground, which is woefully behind the curve. He regularly claims the club is for sale, this is the 5th straight year it has been for sale when STs go on sale and then magically, it falls-through once the season nears and the money has come in. Finally, he has siphoned off the part of the stadium ground that would have been used to expand St. James Park and plans to build a hotel there, meaning there is no way to expand down the line. Oh, and his statement about Rafa going? He released it without telling Rafa talks were over. Defines the word cnut.
Ridiculous media love-in for Lampard. Nothing against the bloke, but his performance has been no more and no less than "satisfactory - he's taken a side with roughly the 6th highest budget in the Championship and finished 6th. Bowyer, Wilder and Nathan Jones/Mick Harford are streets ahead in terms of performance in relation to budget.

So agree. Can we get good odds he is gone From Chelsea by 6/30/20?

He spent next to nothing though, he recouped more than he spent and got by from using the loan market well to get in Mount, Wilson and Tomori.
The signings he spent money on were all offset by selling Vydra and Wiemann.
Agreed that Derby were not really much better off though, they're always in the top 10.
Some breaking news: Martin O'Neill has lost his job at Nottingham Forest. A number of key players have increasingly turned against him. It's reached the top of the club and I'm told he's been sacked, five months since taking job #NFFC
Reports suggesting that Nottingham Forest have sacked Martin O'Neill
Never know if Roland can keep out the way and equip us a bit better (even better just sell up) we might just survive the way other clubs are behaving
With just 2 managers in the last 2 1/2 seasons now, we're actually relatively stable compared with some other clubs, such is the rapid turnover nowadays!
if recycling runs to form, O'Neill will finish up in China and probably not on the scrapheap Seriously .. the number of foreign managers now spread throughout the EFL as well as the Prem is worrying
Frank Lampard has been excused from reporting back to Pre Season with Derby County - Wont be taking training either today or tomorrow and hasnt been announced who is doing it as presume Jody Morris will go back to Chelsea with Frank
It must be solely on his playing career for Chelsea, as 1 season as Manager at Derby and average season at that he is now looking at walking into a one of the top jobs in European football. Seems odd and unfair to me. If only the real world was like football world

Donald Trump is president of America Borris Johnson will be Prime Minister of Great Britain.
Trust me the real world is as bad as the football world

Well i doubt i would get a promotion like that after an average probation. I see your point though. Maybe i should have said in a normal working environment.

Nottingham Forest can confirm that manager Martin O’Neill has left the club.
The club would like to thank Martin for all his efforts during his time at The City Ground and wish him well for the future.

What they do, get Katrien to do the interviews?
Are you trying to suggest that English clubs have no integrity now?

Apparently there was a players revolt against O'Neill
Certainly his Ireland side wasn't very progressive, and the game does move on
Whooooosh.
