Vinai Venkateshamwas CEO when Arsenal protected known rapist Thomas Partey. Now, in the midst of a crisis of leadership & character he has hired someone equally responsible for protecting a perpetrator of violence against women.
Disgraceful doesn't cover it. #COYS

Trust statement on the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi: buff.ly/BMelrcN
Spurs' next manager will either be serenaded as a hero, or remembered as the man in charge of our first relegation for 50 years.
No pressure, then. #COYS

Disgraceful performance. Utterly disgraceful. Relegation every bit the fate we deserve. #COYS
Yeah to be honest depending how next season shapes up I'd be tempted to give it to him. Mature beyond his years. Just hope we can keep hold of him...
I cannot believe what I witnessed from Archie Gray this evening. A simply sensational talent and a future Spurs captain. Sign a few more gems like him and we'll be absolutely golden. #COYS

That feels like two points dropped. Why he's taken off Richy at the end there I will never know. Liverpool were there for the taking. #COYS
Tbf, probs a bit of both
I'd say I'd jump on the next flight but....
Someone on my tube is eating tinned sardines in tomato sauce with their bare hands 🤢🤢🤢 What the actual fuck, London.
This Stellini all over again. We could go down double figures here. Absolute shambles.
Tudor has to go for this. Unforgivable.
Can't wait for 70% of this Spurs team to fuck off and never pull on the shirt again. Good riddance to bad eggs. #COYS
I just got off a very *ahem* interesting phone call with Mr Simon. Big on sweeping statements, less so on detail, that one...
"When BrewDog makes another mess, the rest of the industry is left to follow behind with the pooper scooper."
My brill colleague Dene Mullen skewers BrewDog over the omnishambles of its sale to Tilray, and the resulting job losses.

Following weeks of speculation, US-listed fmcg group Tilray Brands swooped for BrewDog in a £33m pre-pack administration
So, who are the new owners, and what exactly do they want with a failing Scottish beer company?
Who is BrewDog’s new owner Tilray Brands and can it revive the ailing brewer’s fortunes?

German unit not included and has been liquidated. But Ellon alone ought to set back a buyer more than £100m were the sale conducted on a solvent basis.
It's listed in the US.
Thank you Aidan, received.
Please could you forward this to me? I'm on James.beeson@thegrocer.co.uk
Thanks!
Could you please send me this? I'm on James.beeson@thegrocer.co.uk
Thanks! 👍
Yes, but never on this scale.
Talked repeatedly about what an amazing deal and how Tilray would never have been able to acquire "this much strategic real estate for the amount we paid".
Plans to use BrewDog excess capacity (of which there is plenty) to brew Tilray brands in the UK, & for contract brewing.
Buckle up, folks.
