Why was the owner coming onto the pitch , it’s not his place and has crossed the line before

It’s not a good look at all for him to be acting like that - ask the questions behind closed doors - deal with it professionally, it’s always going to get a negative response if he keeps acting impulsively in that way

I’ll pass your advice on to him about about how he should behave at his own club. I’m sure he’ll take it on board. Thanks Arthur 👍

Spectacularly missed the point , just because he owns the club doesn’t give him the right to act like he did going onto the pitch in that manner

It’s ok to say it wasn’t a good idea

That doesn’t mean that what Neville said was right as he went over the top

Marinakis has been banned once already and comes across as very volatile- do it behind closed doors so the headlines don’t get created
 
He wanted to strengthen in the summer and got given Stirling
He spent over £100mil on a left back and midfielder

And let go a striker

It didn’t appear that the team needed another left back or prob midfielder

And it looks like they are getting another midfielder

Spent around £600mil getting 30 players and yet still not get a centre forward

He has done well getting them to a certain level

Can he take them across the line ?

Apparently this is the top 25 premier league players according to the telegraph

Salah not even in it

Interesting that pires is in it over him

Can only think the person who did that list stopped watching the Prem a decade ago

No

KDB , Silva , Aguero , Rodri , Kante , VvD , Cech , Mo , Kane

And Giggs at one ?!


That’s prob a more respectable list

To be fair, all 25 players on the list are still huge stars of the PL. We can all think of more than 25 top top players over the 30+ years of PL, so there will always be moans of players not on the list, regardless of whose list we are looking at.

I also wasn't sure that the list was also ranked in order of greatness, or the numbers just there to indicate there were 25 players on the list. That being said, Giggs was dynamite for the first half of his career, although it is easy for people to have the 40 year old Giggs in their memory banks. So, I wouldn't be surprised if the odd person had Giggs up near the top of their list.

If it was two players it would have been referred to as a spat fuelled by their passion.
He's not a player. And he's not a profit seeking, occasionally visiting corporate representative.
He's a very visible, very present owner who has invested a huge amount of his own cash into the club, the city and the community.
You won't find many in Nottingham whining about him.
 
Man Utd were awful yesterday. But, having watched MOTD2, my only comfort is that Spurs looked even worse.

The Europa League Final is like an X Factor final, with Jedward up against Rylan.

It might be the first final I ever remember that the incentive is nothing to do with winning a trophy, but it is simply a play off match to get into Champions League. Well, perhaps maybe from a Man Utd fans perspective a bit more, perhaps more Spurs fans like the idea of winning the trophy a bit more.

Harsh! I like Rylan.

Don’t get me wrong he has done brilliant for your club and it’s always good to see an passionate owner

But there is a time and a place and the optics for storming onto the pitch to confront the manager is never going to be good - show constraint as a professional owner and seek the manager out after away from the camera so that there is no headline

It was clear from Nunos reaction he was thinking wtf are you doing

It’s a shame that the headlines are about him and not about how well Forest have done getting back into Europe

Question: If Man City win the FA Cup and also get one of the five CL spots, does that mean 6th and 7th get Europa League and 8th gets Conference? 🤔

(On the basis that FA Cup winners get Europa, but City wouldn't require the spot....does it go to next down in the league?)

I wouldn't want any other owner in the league....but he really should have kept his head as it just gives the pundits and usual whoppers fuel to talk about. Carra and Neville couldn't wait to get their phones out and post about it on Social Media.

P.S. BLUE MOOOON....I SAW YOU STANDING ALOOONE.

The clubs/UEFA might as well just admit the European Super League is still a thing. Half the Premier League in Europe is just madness
