NSWE Investment

[Clampy]

Nope. They've lost interest innit, and are just happy to bob along in the bottom half of the Premier League.

I can't believe people actually believed that. I get the nerves but they haven't let us down.

Someone on here in January suggested that he was only picking two goalkeepers on the bench to get the owners to put their hand in their pocket. It was just embarrassing to read.

It worked beautifully.

We’ve had a couple of these massive sliding door moments now since 2018.

Losing that play off final v Fulham was a massive result for us perversely

I said at the time that it made no sense to think they wouldn't back him. You don't rage sack someone in a way that was pretty humiliating for the manager, then go out and get one of the best managers in the world to replace him, and then not back the new fella.

The minute they appointed Inai Emery, they gave a massive indication that there was no more making do.  No more second fiddle.  Brilliant appointment and they mean business.

And especially when it was the owner himself that did it all and very publicly. Not like it was Purslow. So no way NSWE was going to then stiff him. They have basically reshaped the entire club since hiring Emery. The investment isn’t just in transfer activity.

I wonder what outsiders they (NSWE) have advising them , or is Sawaris very clued up, he was clearly very pissed off with how it was going that night in Fulham bought things to a head but I wonder did he know of Emerys calibre or take external advice ??

We are seriously indebted to Fulham . Sham-on mother fucker

Wasn’t there some sort of unofficial statement or something that suggested for others to watch out this summer, after it was alleged by the Spanish press we were skint when explaining Alemany’s u-turn?

Must have missed that.

[London Villan]

The emergence of newcastle probably helped as it added another competitor to finish in the top 7.

It’s been suggested that Sawaris is mates with the “super agent” Mendes. Emery is also on his books, so there’s a good chance that he was involved.

This time last year we (they) were in the middle east pre-season, I believe.

Who would have thought then that 12 months later, the manager would be back in that part of the world again, except managing Al-Jankovic whilst we'd be managed by Unai Emery?

That was during the world cup wasn't it? Pre-season was in Australia.
