Phil P (Newcastle United fan) says...

Not sure about the Nigerian consortium that are planning the takeover bid, it has been said that they are trying to raise the additional £50/£100m that Mike 'I want to rip off the club I supposedly love' Ashley wants, however if this is the case that they are 'trying' to raise the extra cash then where does any further investment for Newcastle come from or paying off the so called debts that the club are in, beleive me I am all for getting Ashley out but is an investor that may not be able to invest without selling players the right choice !!

Mike Gillett (Manchester City fan) says...

Thanks Dave C,of Sunderland,your spot on with your comments. Yes now city can compete with the top four, and they don't like because we are now on that level playing field that they have enjoyed for so long. Lets hope more can join us, so the premiership is no longer a four horse race

Paul Armitage (Newcastle United fan) says...

So Mike Ashley has been approached by a Nigerian consortium - presumably offering to make a large deposit into his bank if he supplies them with his account details. Reminds me of a well known email scam!

William Connelly (Celtic fan) says...

Inter outcast Hernan Crespo could be in line for a move to Celtic as he struggles to deal with his lack of opportunities. He will be moving to celtic in the january transfer window.

Antony Johnson (Liverpool fan) says...

Liverpool are in talks to sign free agent Brazillian ace Ronaldo after his move to Man City fell through, he will sign a 2 year deal worth 3 million. people may say he isnt as fit as what he was but you fail to realise that liverpool have the best reputation for getting players fit. Ronaldo,Torres and Keane,what a strike force.the league title is finally coming home to Anfield

Dave Thiso (Liverpool fan) says...

Im sorry but anyone battling to get the money to buy a club (Newcastle) tells me that they will have nothing in reserve for any transfers. trust me im a Liverpool fan and not experiencing the financial high life at the moment. (be careful)

Graham Cummings (Sunderland fan) says...

Mike Ashley is not the problem at newcastle, its the fans!! Keegan himself admitted that he had not seen a football game for 3year before he came back to newcastle, so why would you let him dictate which players to bring in!!!

Steve Thompson (Arsenal fan) says...

Why is it that nearly every Arsenal fan who has left a msg recently wanted Wenger to sign Appiah? He was at Fenerbache and then released on a free for a reason. Just another average midfielder. Lets just see how we cope until January because I believe we will be top by then and even further away from our rivals than last season. And lets face it - it was a a man who lost his foot which lost us the title!!! The football we play is the best the world has ever seen and the way the club is run on and off the pitch is admirable and puts all of these foreign investors to shame. And where did Theo come from??? He was average up until he scored that hat-trick and now he looks like Henry2. We don't need any more signings - Senderos gone equals premiership heading our way! Get in Arsene!!!

Bill Bailey (Derby County fan) says...

Claude Davis, Derby's Jamaican defender, is in talks with Sheffield United about a return on loan to Bramall Lane. This is the reason he has missed the last two Rams matches, not the official 'knee injury' suggested.

Mark Keschner says...

This DIC rumour of them now going for Newcastle is concerning for Reds fans. My suspicions have been confirmed, they have indeed given up on Hicks(who simply refuses to sell but is dragging our club behind), and are now looking elsewhere. A message to DIC, please DO NOT give up hope. C'mon you Reds!!!

Marlene Phillips (Newcastle United fan) says...

Mike Ashley is a disgrace to Newcastle. Now it's Alan Shearer's turn, who does he think he is?!? He is bad news and must go before he goes too far.

Duncan Eghan (Birmingham City fan) says...

Charlie O'connor (Arsenal fan) says...

I cant believe Wenger he could of got S.Appiah for FREE but no. He is the only person who thinks Arsenals squad is big enough i dont think were gonna win the PL and CL with the players we've got there too young. I still trust Wenger but for how long i dont know

Phil Gooner (Arsenal fan) says...

Why are Newcastle not considering Alan Curbishley? Any ideas?

Paul Thompson (Middlesbrough fan) says...

Miidlesbrough currently are of the interest of the swiss based company Red Bull. Red Bull currently own clubs SV Salzburg and MLS side New York Red Bulls, and the firm are looking to extend their football profile and establish a foothold within the Premier League. However, Red Bull are not looking to take over the club but rather provide a much needed cash injection into Middlesbrough which would involve major sposorship and rebranding. Hence, Red Bull Middlesbrough!

Aruvi Ramasamy (Liverpool fan) says...

Its time for Sheikh to move in to buy Liverpool FC from the American owner. They have lost their director with liverpool. All other clubs are improving but these amex are stalling all the good work and planning that Mr Rafa is doing for club. Its not that they will be loosing any money over this deal but will be richer. I strongly well come Mr Sheikh to buy over LFC with his own money or through his investment agency. He should not come in has a relief but buy over for the love and his of LFC.

Gary Elland (Peterborough United fan) says...

Funny how Tottenham fans go on about Manchester United and the Berbatov deal, (David Freeman) what exactly did they do wrong? I think you have fallen for Mr levy's media spin. Berbatov was always for sale to the highest bidder, (as was Keane). Of course Spurs were whiter than white in their pusuit of Ramos, and the lad from palace, their pusuit of Arshavin was kept well under wraps too!!

James Byford (West Ham United fan) says...

My mates dad is a steward over West Ham, and has kept hearing that we could be after Sami Hyppia during the January window. If this is true, do we never learn? Surely Curbishley's reign has taught us nothing. Ageing stars just aren't good enough if we want to push for European positions. We need some younger, hungry players. Not these ageing has-beens looking for a last big pay cheque.

Dave C (Sunderland fan) says...

Interesting to hear a Chelsea supporter bleating about Man City and their new found wealth. Where were Chelsea before they fell into money...I'll tell you if you can't remember...up and down the leagues as a run-of-the-mill bog standard team...playing to lousy crowds....check your history books! At least City fans have stuck through thick & thin and are a credit to the game. at SOL last home game you couldn't help being impressed by the away support that City had....and that was before they knew the money was coming in! Seems to me Chelsea don't like a taste of their own medicine!

Ninian Macqueen (Chelsea fan) says...

Lee Cowley you are a bit misguided to say the least...the owners of manchester united have plunged your club deep into debt to be able to afford all your recent recruits. Also before Roman chelsea were something, they were exciting and entertaining if not wildly unpredictable. We wona few cups and if i remeber beat real madrid in the euro super cup. We also had some of the greatest players creating attractive football, with Gullit, di Matteo, leboeuf, zola, sparky hughes etc etc Also frankly speaking i think anybody talking about how rival clubs have bought their way unfairly to this and that is frankly a bit rich!!!!
