The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - NEW STADIUM ITK! 25th June 2015

[LexingtonSpurs]

Judging by social media - Barca and Madrid worldwide support dwarfs other teams. United are 3rd, Yankees are 19th.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Social Media?
Fucking Social Media?

Looks like one is going to have start being a **** over this again.

 

[scat1620]

All this talk about what team has the biggest global brand will keep this thread open for sure. Keep it up, team, sterling work.

hope i got the names and stuff right this time

trix on toby: Just spoke to my mate regarding tomorrow[boat trip i guess], and he still says he doesn't believe there is much in this at all on our side.

trix on davies to palace: No chance, and especially not on loan.

prof on suggestions its the nfl trying to squeeze us (and not the other way around) and the americans being over sensitive:From what I hear you're both incorrect on this.

prof on 'I think by the sounds of it they have been very accomodating to us' and 'I think this shows a lack of understanding on the part of THFC negotiators about the party they are dealing with.' :According to both Gabe and Galahad, this is spot on, especially as two other London entities have more recently contacted the NFL about this opportunity.

prof again: Just arrived from Gabe:
"We're back on track! Light at the end of the tunnel. Both sides working hard to bridge the remaining gaps."

hertyid:
A response direct from WHL. I apologise, this is literally the most un-ITK ITK ever. But I thought I would pass on anyway.
"Alex Payne is a lovely fella. Looks like Watford or Guangzhou for Paulinho"
1) I guess there is something in this rumour.
2) Who the hell is Alex Payne?

 

[Syn_13]

Watford or Gangzhou. Makes sense really when you think about it.

The Sky Sports Alex Payne?

The Sky Sports Alex Payne?

I think so, but he is Sky Sports Rugby not Football.

 

[Mouse!]

I'm not going to worry about any of the other 'entities' that have contacted the NFL. Our stadium will be purpose built to accommodate both sports. The Emirates, Wembley, Twickenham and the Olympic Stadium can't compete with that.

Watford or Gangzhou. Makes sense really when you think about it.

I live 50 miles from Guangzhou and it is a real shithole. Pollution is right up there and it just feels dirty in a bad way every time I have to venture over there. The support from locals for the team is pretty good and they're on TV when they pay important games. But this would be a massive dip for Pauli and unless he's just after money a massive negative for his career.

Scolari (who picked him for Brazil) has just joined Guangzhou, so he will be moving there to link up with him again (plus the money) or the press have just thought thought it was a good link.

thanks for that I'd missed it. But it is still a horrible place to live

Don't tell Paulinho that

 

[KalSpur]

I'll be in Guangzhou this Sunday for a couple of days. I'll be on high alert for any sign of a Paulinho transfer.

hertyid on paulinho to china again: If this is true it will be remarkable. Most people at the club don't even know about it. Talk about under the radar.

fatpiranha said: ↑
That reads a little odd. If most people at the club don't know about it that implies that some people do and if hertyid isn't one of them then how does he know that some people do?

Nah mate, that's a non sequitur... It only implies that hertyid (or his contact) knows what most people at the club knows. The fact that he opens the statement with "If this is true" indicates that he is not sure whether others at the club know about it or not...

Is it really worse than some of the ukranian or russian teams with rampant racism?
Just hop he takes s couple of others with him.

I've not encountered much racism here- the opposite in fact (Blond hair and blue eyes). But dark skinned people do often have some difficulties. A good friend of mine used to get some comments when we went out but he just shrugged it off. But then he's a top bloke and the people making the comments weren't

cant imagine having to suck in a lungfull of that shite every game - must shorten your life not just your career

{INSERT JOKE ABOUT WATFORD}

 

[Scott Spur]

So Levy potentially screwing his deal up is very worrying, with a new planning app in specifically for it and the extra finance it would bring losing it would be a disaster

Hope the new ITK is right about it being back on track enough to let it go through.....maybe send Danny boy on a month long vacation somewhere hot and let someone else wrap this up.

 

[Scott Spur]

Am guessing Chelsea is one of the other venues trying to shoehorn their way in on the deal......not like that hasn't happened before huh

Mind you, the NFL dealing with a Russian?......dream on Roman
