Please no Venky's, please no Venky's, please no Venky's...

The bit in bold means he still wants an influence even after he's no longer the 'owner' imho. You don't defer payments unless there is something in it for you. Not according to the lawyer - Assuming an appropriate person is found, there is a desire to stagger payments to allow additional funds for Rafa in the short term.

Nothing close, but lawyers already involved in bringing a buyer on board by Christmas.

Fair play to Ashley. Title change please!

And based on this game alone, despite the pelters being thrown at Elliot, he was still a fair bit better than the other (far more lauded) keeper on the pitch.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

Hell yes. Anyone fancy joining my consortium... er... Octagon? Reckon we could get a shitload of student flats incorporated into the stands.

Pardew was right. Got to have good DNA. "Genetically, we are behind," said head coach Strachan. http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41546717

Not sure. Something to do with foliage would be my guess. or Brexit.

It's a major fuck-storm.

Knowing our go to sculptor, it'll probably end up not to dissimilar to this. width=500https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTAyNFgxMDI0/z/RngAAOSw~y9ZBD0v/$_86.JPG[/img]

"Caulkin says that the businesswoman was present in an unofficial capacity and associates of Amanda Staveley made clear she was simply on Tyneside with friends. The man from The Times adding that there have been no direct discussions between her and Ashley and not even any formal communication between Amanda Staveley and the club."

Certainly seems to be much more politically angled since the Brexit referendum, and less about football. I remember it being funnier before then. Brexit consequence No.2473. The wonderful work of David Squires gets less amusing.

From NUFC.com Amateur film maker and toon fan Craig Crouchman was selected by a well-known lager brand to make a short film about an aspect of his "club".

Speaking on his Instagram account, De Boer said: “Very disappointed about the decision but never the less I want to thank the players, staff and the fans for their support. Good luck for the future.”

Fucking ridiculous if true. What happened to Parishes 'stick together' Twitter shtick?

Doesn't matter if it's face value or not apparently. News to me, but unlike gig tickets... If you buy a ticket for a football match and can’t go then you’re pretty much stuffed. If you sell it on to someone else without the club’s permission, even if it’s at face value, then you can be banned from going to any more games and given a criminal conviction. Of course this very rarely happens and the likelihood is that you’d only get such a harsh punishment if you were trying to make some serious profit on your ticket, but that’s not the point. The point is that nearly all big club have it written into the terms of sale that you’re not allowed to sell the ticket to anyone else and if you do they can throw the book at you. No idea if this guy was selling it for face value or not mind, either way he just needs to be a bit more discrete or was pretty unlucky. Not heard of anyone else getting pulled for it, but maybe it's some new cuntish club policy? As for his bit regarding Viagogo - Viagogo, for example, has deals with Aston Villa, Chelsea, Fulham, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Queens Park Rangers, West Bromwich Albion, West Ham United, Wigan and Reading. Stubhub, another online re-seller, has deals with Sunderland Everton and Tottenham Hotspur. Quotes from here - http://www.football-stadiums.co.uk/articles/can-you-sell-on-your-match-ticket/

Only a touch less than them both doing a tag team take-down of the ref.

The winner We're gonna lose about 4 nil As if Clark'll let that happen! Barring the possibility of them lumping ten shades of shit out of each other, really looking forward to the game.

It was Redknapp and Warnock. Genuinely.

He looks Brexity.

Down the pub and just met nufc's bank manager from 93 to 2000. Not sure he's that talkative, but any questions?

Traitor ffs. The Daily Mail has a lot to answer for. Not sure what else you would call someone working for and in support of Ashley. Tremendous player and captain, but it's possible for him to be both and for people to respect him as one and criticise him for the other. Fair enough. Like many others, he works for the club he loves. I'd happily criticise him if I knew that he were not (privately at least) getting mardy and bending his employers ears, but either way, I doubt he's feeling much better this morning than the rest of us.
