Given's a crap captain. We need someone who'll shout at people. Or threaten to stub cigars in their eyes for example.

Takeover Latest
Mike Ashley now owns 51.52% of the club so he effectivly runs the club now. Shepherd's shares are set to go through soon which will take him to 79%. Once Shepherds shares go through he is expected to delist the company and make it private again as he will own over the required 75%. Once he gets to 90% he is obliged to go for the remaining shares.

Btw can we change the thread title, every time i read it, it sounds like 2 fat men raise a chicken ship.
How about...

I'm happy with our fixtures, aprt from the Chelsea game at the end of the season, would have preferred if that was much earlier, but otherwise I don't think we have done too badly.
