Any other bang average cloggers we fancy being linked with? Jack cork maybe? Hal robson-Kanu?

Fucking hate football right now. Just need Liverpool to poach Foden then I’m done.

More precisely it’s the whole SA that is subject to the test. Now let’s think, how to prove that “a country” can pass all the requirements? A country? Everyone in SA? No, it’s just the owners of the PIF, the whole country doesn’t own the PIF. There will be trustees that PIF are putting forward but in reality the rulers will own the PIF. So who is it? And why are these people not prepared to take the test. I just don’t know why it took so long to get to that single question. Staveley said PL request to put SA as the director, not just the owner of the PIF. That means SA is subject to the test. You got it wrong Staveley is talking bullshit there though. That’s not possible. She means the government not the whole of SA. That would be and easy win if that is indeed what they said, which they wouldn’t. The directors of the PIF are not the controllers, the SA public are not the controllers. Who pulls the strings? They’ve maintained all along that PIF are a separate entity. As soon as others are brought in to the test it goes against that stance. However, the PL are not in a position to decide who is classed a director or not.

Can’t find any other sources for this story. I know there were issues early on but I thought that was before it went to the PL?

Exactly, the other teams shouldn't get a say as surely by its nature every takeover should in theory strengthen that team, so no other team in that league is going to be in favour of it I’m assuming it’s being played as a moral objection against Saudi control, which is fair enough. But even so, it’s not part of the test so should be ignored.

He’d be our best midfielder, a good signing in our quest for 13th place.

I’m struggling to comprehend why any other team in the league gets a say in this. How do takeovers usually happen?

Yeah, but someone needs shooting for adding those wages to the books in the first place. £560 k/w. My maths has that as £92.4 million over three years. For Alex Sanchez... He was worth it during his arsenal form though. How much were they quoted for bale, even before wages?

Pull up trees would be

As much as I really don’t rate him, we’re gonna end up having to replace a lot of players at this rate. Only way to really do that is to see someone like ASM.

We all know what would happen: EFL introduce wage cap. Nufc stuck in the championship with millions they can’t spend.

Such a villa type player

Loads mate. Tyler has been pinching Richard Masters tea bags and Michael Chopra has been scrapping through bins for cans. Been non stop. Oh yeah, and some whopper signed up this morning to tell us all to not bother anymore. Be interesting if the PL start planting a few moles on Twitter and message boards to split the fans.

I’m sure they could find a willing party to bankroll it

Hoped. Not would be. And he was right.

No reason it shouldn't be on, other than the Premier League playing ostrich still... the dickheads And the main financial backers pulling out They haven’t though, still officially the same place it was last week, with the PL. Do you know that as fact?

Chopra 100% does have contacts in Saudi. He attempted to broker a deal for them with Ashley a few years back.

Meanwhile, Newcastle are linked with some Motherwell players.

You'd expect so yeah.

:lol: The fact that there has been no update for nearly an hour would suggest that he's right. Either that, or The Cabal have invited him in to a meeting room and bumped him off. He left his number as masters is in a conference.

I'd imagine the bloke will shit his pants if he sees Masters walking towards him in the lobby. Nah, doesn't seem the type.

This is very true. It's impossible to ignore it completely. I wish I could. Accept the club is dead . Act accordingly . I can't just switch off - NUFC have been part of my life for 38 years. I'll not go to a game, home or away. I won't buy any merchandise. I probably won't even watch a match even if it's on free TV. But it's not like I can go and support someone else, it's just weird.

This is very true. It's impossible to ignore it completely. I wish I could.

So would you say we sit back, accept it, say nothing and just let them get on with it? Accept reality ? Yes Are you walking away from the club completely or "supporting the team"? Genuine question.
