He’ll walk back out with a cardboard box. Chronicle:”#nufc did not comment but sources say that Benitez is just taking some things out to clean them”

And BBC and Sky Breaking News

It’s probably fuelled by NUFC refusing to comment on why he’s there.

Random Saints supporting twitter account with next to no followers says NUFC will release a statement about the takeover tonight

They probably just answer the phone with “no comment” these days.

Ashley would never spend a penny without Rafa’s signature on the contract. He’s used the budget as a gun to his head before.

Ronnie gill saying it's not imminent. ? It’s the weekend today and tomorrow in UAE. With it being the weekend here Sunday, they say don’t expect anything further before Monday.

Like us playing our games on Teeside.

Ooooh we're going in August aswell. The Lake District is class.

Top signs still there.

Toon Toon. Monochrome Army!

Either that or he’s off to war.

Talk about extremes. Everyone is either adamant its happening or adamant it’s not

Because it isn’t Amanda.

Another statement from the group. Say they provided proof of funds in april and that they and Ashley have signed the paperwork and sent to the PL to start the fit and proper person tests. PL and NUFC both ‘no commenting’

the only reason they made the 2nd statement is coz cunts like Edwards were falling over themselves to discredit them What does he expect? Of course they’re going to keep commenting publicly if people are saying they’re frauds and don’t have any money

“Shit, Mike. Luke said we should really think about saying something.”

88 pages since Monday lunchtime

I take every “club source” comment with a pinch of salt. The way Ashley does business it will only be him, his lawyers and advisors that will have any clue. Charley won’t even know.

They’re doing it to force the club/Ashley’s hand to say something publicly that confirms this is a genuine takeover attempt. Clever, really.

In the full statement they claim that the proof of funds statement was sent to Ashley’s lawyers on 17 April

Pete Graves has seconded this.
