Yeah, I care so so much. Oh no, how will Newcastle United survive?

The takeover is off but not dead. Why else would you keep returning and posting on this thread. Stop kidding yourself and join the club. It’s an Ashley thread, not a takeover thread. Define “dead”. You mean until the club is sold there’s a chance it’ll be sold?

Sane is class.

Dummett injured? Colour me shocked. No update from the club? Blow me down.

So if there’s an announcement in the next few days that the takeover is officially off, we still wait, in case someone changes their mind, right?

Didn't we play strikerless against Oxford?

Can someone C/P it please?

Why didn't they keep Bruce furloughed?

Looking forward to a battling 0-0 with Stoke though.

What the fuck is this?

I don't think it works like that unfortunately, our directors would still be subject to the PL test before the club plays in the PL. I'm really looking forward to the day an existing director fails and the PL ban the club from the league. It'll never happen though.

What's the relevance?

Bruce would probably sign him again too.

Should do a bit better than usual as central midfield has been a long time weak zone for them, now heavily reinforced. Hope we don't end up with Davies. They want money for him, so no.

If it wasn't for the lack of a fourth sentence, I would have sworn that was Nostradamus. I’ll accept your apology in a few days. I'd swear there was someone else, months ago, said something very similar. Can't remember if that was you or not. I wonder what happened to that ITK information. Hmmmm... Rocker.

To be fair, that almost reads like Staveley and Reubens haven’t withdrawn

Why do you keep ignoring we have heard from PIF already? They're out. They were funding 80% of it. Of all the parties involved that's a pretty f***ing big one to get that statement from. And if everything else reported or commented on is BS, that means we ignore all the s**** being spouted about how it's now being handled 'behind closed doors'.. right? Because even AS and the Reuben Brother's ignored it? Manopark is getting some totally uneccassary grief here. Just an optimistic bloke who is excitable and wants the best for the club, so what if he's slightly annoying with it? Some serious projecting going on in here you bunch of incels. Yes indeed, all I am saying is because we have not been told anything about the final outcome, we should just wait (instead of 'jumping in to say it is dead, etc !!). No one knows what the outcome will be, so lets just do the obvious "waiting" thing, yeah? The hope of this takeover is the only thing that connects me to the club. Once I'm satisfied that this is dead I don't think I'll be following the club with any real seriousness. If there's even a 0.1% chance of this happening then we should be fighting for it till the very end because we already know what the alternative is, so why the f*** would you accept that? The irony in all this is that the same ones who are slating you for being "optmistic" (realistic imo) have given up and accepted that, much like the fans who go to games who they also slate for that very same reason. Yes, I think the "pessimists" on here just like to have a go at me, and others, just because we explain things factually, and because we do not join them in their eternal pessimism. I am going to stick with the facts as they are, until we hear anything else. You have never once posted 'facts' in regards to the takeover. In fact, you deliberately ignore one of the few facts we publicly have available which is the official withdrawal of PIF There has never been an official withdrawal, just a public statement, and we all know that could have been made for various reasons. I am going to stick with the facts as they are, until we hear anything else. Premier league statement.

Nope, sounds like he’s got another offer now too.

imagine I quite like Elmo. Has a tendency to not be used very much but when he is, makes important contributions. Not a starter, though. I tell you someone else who loves Elmo, too. Steve Bruce. If Elmo leaves us, I *bet* Bruce picks him up. Then you'll get to look on in confusion as you see his special 'tactic' of keeper hoofing kick up right of field towards Elmo on loop ALLFUCKINGSEASON. If it’s darlow that’s going out of play every single time.

You want to know my age, why? Because I get the feeling you’ve seen us under a number of different owners, yet you still have a belief that something positive is coming. Just wondering how you maintain that belief after everything you’ve seen? You’ve witnessed us actually win something, no?

Yeah that’s a great signing for villa.

manorpark[/member] you’re in your 60’s/70’s right?

How are you defining waiting?

Close to signing Watkins too. Why are they trying to strengthen? Makes no sense.

Woo. A top 6 hand-me-down and a relegated striker who's record isn't great and he's already injury prone (in the hands of Steve 'Shipman' Bruce). Fucking hell I wish this version of NUFC nothing but ill will. Takeover dragged me back in but I need to get back out asap. This is toxic. Doesn't sound like either Fraser or Wilson are that arsed about coming here, which pretty much sums up the rotten state of the club under the current tenure. They aren't even A-list players, but tbf, one look at Bruce in charge would make you think maybe you can do a bit better than NUFC in their position. You can probably count the worse clubs in the Premier on one hand. Even with two fingers chopped off. Expect nobody incoming. Gonna be hilarious
