I hear this Blanc fella is very savvy
savvy blanch
savvy blanch
Hopefully blanc will transition the club from a commercial Disney land vehicle to a well respected sports entity.
ditch going for big names who have passed it and start focusing on developing our own players once again.

After he makes a shrewd business move... "Savvy on Blanc."
Next week huh?
If there's truth to the a ancelotti rumours he's off to a terrible start.
Were already one of if not the biggest brand in football.
Absolutely, now imagine somebody who isn't a banker at the helm?
Fixed
How so? Guy turned Real Madrid around and has won Champions League a couple of times. Can manage big stars, upcoming stars and the pressure here is huge - if we are to sack ETH, who out there is realistically a better idea?
It's been 'next week' for over a month now
Next week will be next week too
As long as it's sorted by Jan it's alright with me. Will be interesting to see what Blanc decides to do with this squad in Jan and if the investment from Jim means we've got a decent January transfer kitty.
Next week next week next week
And next month!
One can hope
O'shea
Bless you!
FC Next Year
Oh my bad. At least I put in that I couldn't tell if you were joking.
I love that show of course, and Junior's line of Tony 'not having the makings of a varsity athlete' is the one I remember most.
"Issues between lawyers". What's that even mean? Just say you don't have a fecking clue what's the delay, if you really must "tweet".
Issues between lawyers is the fecking definition of both sides dragging their feet.
If the lawyers are still not on the same page there isn't a deal. I know with Arnold gone you've got to think it's going to happen but ffs - there is still a good chance of glazers spinning some valuation bullshit and walking away. Or maybe trying to low ball Jim

Yep this is gonna drag on to 2024 as predicted
Everyone has gotten way too carried away with this deal - mainly the media and it's now at a point where people are competing against each other in making up excuses and reasonings as to why the deal they said was to be ratified over a month ago hasn't moved an inch since Nine Two pulled out. They seem to think that the Glazers are an homogenised unity and its goal is to force through a minority offer with an at-risk earn-out in 2026 and all of this is a formality. There is so much left to do before this has any chance of being ratified and announced to the SEC, and that's assuming the well documented disunity of the Glazers is in fact false. You'd also have to assume the Glazers are forced to accept some sort of deal with the brilliant business mind of Ratcliffe - they don't - no sale is and always was an option. You'd also have to accept that at least 4 of the Glazers and basically all of the other shareholders wanted a full sale and should there not have been this catastrophic humanitarian crisis in the Middle East the Nine Two Foundation might still be at the table. There is every chance the Glazers could well be delaying any decisions until peace has been established in that region to gauge the appetite for more negotiations such is the crucial role the Al-Thani family is playing in brokering peace and securing hostages' safety.
Bottom line, there are many more potential outcomes and there's no rush from the Glazers to getting whatever it is that they want. The media aren't helping by lying on a daily basis and then making excuses as to why things didn't happen when they guessed it might just because Ratcliffe was the 'last man standing' as if that concludes the process when it doesn't. They jumped the gun and have spent the last month making it up as they go along. We haven't even had the board meeting and subsequent filing to the SEC to allow anyone other than Glazer to own class B shares. The class A shareholders haven't been approached or appraised of the situation much less agree to anything yet we are to believe we could get an announcement any day now. It's nonsense and it's best to just ignore it all and wait for a primary/official source on the process. No amount of Jean Claude-Blanc, Paul Mitchell, Carlo Ancelotti, Dougie Freedman and fairy dust changes that.

At this point I feel compelled to ask if anybody has checked on @TrebleChamp99 ?
I fear he may be gently rocking back on forth in the corner of a padded room wittering to himself ‘they told me November, it’s November! Why did they say that?’
Hope he’s okay.

Much like this post….

It's okay not to be okay!!
If nothing else comes of this week, I'm sure we can all agree 'Earthworm Jim' as a new nickname is a decent takeaway.
GRR Martin will finish the last Game of Thrones book and Half-Life 3 will be released before anything substantial happens with the sale of the club.
"Delaying club sale and sacking CEO is a sign of true capitalism" - Worm-man Chomsky
I don't think Arnold going is much to do with Jim or anyone taking over. I believe he wanted a full takeover so he obviously went against the cnuts and it cost him his job.
Think from his perspective operationally as the CEO it would make the most sense. Clear lines of responsibility and reporting. Nothing to do whether he is pro-Jassim or Ratcliffe.
I'm probably wrong but maybe he actually wanted what's best for the club probably knowing he'd be out on his ear either way.
All you do is post 1 bullshit whining post into this thread per day
Nothing is stopping you from switching teams to a state-owned club

The only thing which will stop his pro-Qatar outbursts is getting the deal over the line.
So expect many more moons of 'Jassim is not out of it yet' to surface, with the 'shareholders' still not happy about something or other. 'Fiduciary responsibility' is a good one.
As for newcastlecitypsg, they can all do one.
I wonder if there’s anything that will stop you wittering on about Qatar and Jassim though?
He has a jilted lover syndrome.
The frustration of pro-Qatar commentators in their posts. Thought they'd 'won' and started bragging, getting abusive and using the salivating emoji on every update. Now Qatar have accepted their bid is failed, they show up on this thread to factor in some 'Jass still good' angle upon every delay.
Having their method uncovered is tough for them.
Hence the snarky responses.
Not sure, chief. Dead Ed stood to make 14 million from a full sale. Perhaps, Arnoldo stood to make similar stacks? Unsure but suggesting either would want 'what's best for the club' is, well, it's...well....
Both ought to have been turfed out long ago.
Ratcliffe's purported appointments are only encouraging considering who they are replacing. Hiring the psg ceo is a huge concern, considering their club policy has been 'Air Jordan' and Galactico-style marquee monoliths. I also worry about their famed 'managerial merry-go-round' style of governance.
In short, many fears about Qatari rule are being replicated by brand Ineos.
I'm not surprised Joel Glazer is seemingly recalcitrant.
