is the 8 good, Ameritoon[/member] ? Getting harder to find the 16 around here.

thought someone had taken a swipe at her handsome and distinguished paws. Nope, real person.

ya'll not got corporate lobbyists over there, HTT? The ones who write the bills that become law, hand them directly to the lawmaker, and get them passed via campaign contributions? We might be a little more further down the fucked up line in some respects. Power doesn't have to wear a crown, it just needs to be able to tell the crown what to do.

dissidents gonna diss.

lmao a leveraged buyout just burn it down please

Now THIS is a tyre-kicker. Not a hope he's got £350m. Doesn't even have a Wikipedia page as far as I can tell. CEO of something called "Clear TV Ltd". Heard of them? Me neither. Not a lot on Google either. Only way he could buy us is through massive borrowing like the Glazers did. Got a good feeling about that first search result.

Roman Abramovich is like Putin's adopted son, arguably up there.

Admins there are policing it now. It went way the fuck off the rails.

Is Ashley going to take anything but the top bidder regardless of who it is? not like anyone can realistically compete with the PIF if they really want it tbh. Weird "news".

Yeah, he seems like a malfunctioning chat bot but Steve is an actual person.

twitter is poison for the soul

Not sure if I want US investors on human rights grounds tbh The investors wouldn't be the actual government so unless it's one of those US "security" firms like Blackwater etc that subcontract for our government's nefarious shit it'd be cool and good. I wasn't being serious but yeah I get it wouldn't be state wealth like PIF Impossible to tell these days

I don't take my geopolitical cues from a cartoon tbh

loki679[/member], bro, even if people were the most obnoxious of online slactivist virtue signaling dickbags why does it rankle you so? They don't matter. fwiw I don't think mandoon or ki or anyone here really fall into that category. Just curious.

Just go fishing scoot. Oh that’s not allowed either. ya'll holding batshit mental protests about opening back up like us yanks?

No. They could have done something and they didn't. And you know something that really pisses me off in life in general and not just football? People who 'care' enough to make a big show to everyone else that they care but don't care enough to actually do anything. I think these points you're making are being shoehorned in tbf like. He made a perfectly fair point and didn't have a go at anyone for their own position, yet you've felt it necessary to make out that he was in order to make a wider point about virtue signalling, which wasn't happening here. Honestly, I think you're a bit of a dick but I respect you because you have your values and convictions and don't compromise on them. Saying 'I'll join in with the celebrations but I'll feel guilty about it' is the worst kind of horseshit. I think it's completely fair to say someone's going to go along with this for the time being but reserves the right to make a final decision for later. Not everyone has to nail their flags to the mast right now. If I celebrate but a tinge of [guilt/angst/whatever] pops up, that's totally valid. And if it changes my mind that's cool too. I think Doon is just expressing the uncertainty that a lot of people who haven't fully decided one way or the other feel right now.

I hope everyone makes/finds peace with their decision, whatever they choose. It's shite living with true conflict in your heart.

I am 99.999% sure they're not going to do shit but that .001% believes that it would be SO FUCKING ON-BRAND Newcastle United for the PL to finally draw a line in the sand with us that I can't discount it entirely :lol:

not to be cynical or mocking but it's comical how no one expected anything from the PL in terms of fit & proper, and we got nothing, and it's still disappointing

What would they have asked the government about ? Probably workshopped / tested various scenarios to see what was likely to go through and what wasn't.

Doubt it’s even legally possible, even if the government weren’t balls deep in SA themselves. Would have thought SA was the pitcher in this scenario tbh.

Question is are any of you who opt to object+walk away going to turn into the same kind of monsters who wait until someone is enjoying something then kool-aid man into the conversation to remind us of bad thing? Like we all know the cunt who can't wait for someone to like the Beatles before they start in about Lennon's domestics.
