Even I gave up over a week ago. It’s over, PIF aren’t coming back and Staveley can’t do it on her own unless she wins that court case. Ashley will be here for another season at least. Once it gets underway the threat of relegation means no one will want to take a punt on it until it’s confirmed. I don’t understand the grief she’s been getting on here mind. I was very suspect of her last time round, and was saw what was going to happen earlier on, however she’s done everything she can this time round and I’m actually more pissed for her than anyone out of this. I wish her well in whatever she does next, but I’m not sure round 3 is right for any of us.

The quality is fine if staying in the league is all that matters. Can't say the same at left back or upfront. I'd rather we spend whatever little money on those positions. That midfield won't relegate us. Obviously I'm holind on to hope that new owners come in at some point and we can start to look at really kicking on, but until then it's survival in hope we can get new ownership, chewing on were not signing £30m midfielders is just waiting your own time, imo, but 8f all major gaps are plugged and a takeover does happen that £30m mid comes in and sets the place alight and its easier to make those transfers come off.

Outrageous! As if a centre midfield containing the following stars can be stopped: Shelvey Hayden Hendrick S. Longstaff M. Longstaff Barlasar Not bad depth if playing for 2 positions. It is very much 6/10 but all British and for a grand total of £14m it isn't bad going for Mikes dream. If we had deoth like that upfront and at left back it would be pretty much impossible to relegate us.

While it is unlikely that either of these two deals go through I do find it hilarious that everyone takes this one line from Ashley as gospel despite him being proven to be a liar and to mislead fans on purpose. True. I reckon he will be right though. It’s an utter farce the amount of new bidders and fakeovers we have. It must just be done for clickbait and for the rest of the country to laugh at us. I can’t think of any other club where this shit has constantly been going on for years now. He bases that opinion on the ridiculous way he conducts business, over a few pints and no due diligence. Problem being the world has changed since then With more media on things like this, it’ll never be completely silent, especially now there is a directors test to pass.

He's the kind of player we should have signed ages ago. If we're going to be a functional but quite shit team, we may as well get the right tools for the job. Newcastle haven't been functional since the day Rafa left, and won't be until the day a new owner makes a solid appointment. Newcastle under Mike Ashley have consistently hired managers that do not work with the approach to recruitment. This has always been the issue. Mike Ashley wants one of the boys he can have a pint with as manager. It's ridiculous and annoying, yes, but it could feasibly 'work' if you let them get the type of players that work with their approach. Work in the sense of an Allardyce's Bolton or a Dyche's Burnley who were both European teams, and so it won't be the prettiest necessarily. Under Bruce it shouldn't be quite that ugly hopefully. Don't know why it's been so difficult to just get the basics of allowing the manager to bring in the types of players he wants all of these years. Absolutely crazy stuff. Irony being he had his perfect manager here when he bought the club.

Messi strikes me as a selfish individual, you just couldn’t see him wanting to give something back to a group of fans he has nothing in common with. He’ll follow the money if he can’t return to Argentina. Im not knocking him for any of that, it’s what all top pros are told to do.

If this is a Dark spoiler I swear to christ Cheers ?? I haven't seen it yet but it's one of the next things I'm going to watch. Me too it’s my next week viewing when getting in at 11 Thought it would be safe considering it’s been out 3 years. It’s brilliant btw, first few episodes are slow, but end of S1 is perfect and all of S2 is up there with the best stuff on tv this millennium.

If we could do that, bring in Ryan Fraser and Hendrick on frees and go back in for Willems then we’d be much better off than we are now and for little outlay.

Such a shitty thing to do. Stopping kids play football.

I doubt there is any legally binding NDAs between the PL and the other side. Between seller and buyer, aye as financials are discussed and to stop leaks to other interested parties promoting fair competition but it’s probably more an agreement, nothing more. nothing the PL does in this process is legally binding or upheld by a governing body or even government, so I doubt the validity of anything they have in place if it came to applying law. It’s why anyone is struggling to nail the cunts against the wall. When it comes to this test, they’ve made it up as they’ve gone along. They could state it’s over, it’s still ongoing, she broke it, she hasn’t done anything to stop it or they just need to stay silent in this process to protect the buyers. So answer is there probably isn’t a definitive one, just like everything else in the stupid ducking process.

Staveley bid isn't real? WTF? “But the reality is that I know what I am doing, I work incredibly hard, I have nothing to hide, I welcome scrutiny, I know football, and I am very passionate. "Perhaps it [his approach] is unorthodox, but look at the absolute shambles down the road with the Staveley takeover that took forever and was actually a load of nonsense. "As far as I'm concerned, I'm nothing like that - some financial suit that wants to bring in moneymen, I'm not interested.
