Flight not found

Nice is the closest airport to Monaco where the Reubens live. Farnborough just seems to be where the jets of interest are heading and coincidentally where Mike Ashleys helicopter stopped off for a while when they were all there. Saudis like South of France as well

No doubt in my mind that it is Qatar again leaking things to put pressure in the Premier League. It’s a non-story. Nevertheless it has gone beyond the pale now, I can see that it is damaging the mental health of a number of fans. If this can’t be done by 1st June then the supporters really do need some form of communication for their own sanity.

GMAOL is Ashley

Sounds significant to be honest.

If you are reading the plane watch thread several Saudi planes have gone to Farnborough in the last 24hrs and now Ashley’s chopper has just landed near there as well.

He was an early revealer of the takeover wasn’t he?

The 15 I’d choose to retain are: No. Position Player 1 Slovakia GK Martin Dúbravka 3 Wales DF Paul Dummett (3rd captain) 5 Switzerland DF Fabian Schär 6 England DF Jamaal Lascelles (captain) 7 England FW Andy Carroll 10 France MF Allan Saint-Maximin 11 Scotland MF Matt Ritchie 14 England MF Isaac Hayden 18 Argentina DF Federico Fernández 19 Spain DF Javier Manquillo 20 France DF Florian Lejeune 23 Austria MF Valentino Lazaro (on loan from Inter Milan) 24 Paraguay MF Miguel Almirón 36 England MF Sean Longstaff 43 England MF Matty Longstaff Carroll? It was a genuinely tough call. I took out Jetro because we would have to sign a left back he’s had a serious injury and I’m not sure if he is truly a left back. It was then a straight choice between Carroll and Joelinton, and I just felt that we had no strikers with PL experience. Fit and surrounded by good players and with good nous in this league I felt I’d back Carroll (and be more economical in the process)

I certainly wouldn’t want to see 25 new players next season. Especially with potentially going straight from one season to the next, a minimum of 15 players playing for us now need to be still with us. Of the other 10 new signings it should be about 50/50 between those with good PL experience and 5 new imports.

Plot twist: Dave is My Silent Face

Don’t think it’s very secret he already said hello in the welcome back thread

What makes you say that? Do you think he's just pretending He is not pretending. But he only knows what his source chooses to tell him and he is only as up to date as his most recent information.

Caulkin knows only what the buyer chooses to tell him. He knows jack shit just like the rest of us 98% of the time. He is not the all seeing oracle that some people on here are making out!

Not sure why, they have kept up spending with everyone in europe and it's the managers that have let them down, if anything hes trigger happy but I dont think he would have that power at Newcastle Supposedly not got the players the managers wanted as they are too expensive, and then overspending on 2nd or 3rd choice for a completely different position on more commercially marketable players. All while cocksucking the Glazers. He is terrible

Woodward is terrible, they hate him as much as we hate Charnley

Supposedly one of the problems with Mourinho at Man Utd was that he never bought or even rented a property in the North West. Something to learn from really.

Charns has left the NUFC passwords in his other wallet he’ll have to go home and get it first

Give it a couple of mins

Make it up with Jonas and KK should be the first step

Why would they need to come to Newcastle in your scenario ? I'm with you in that I think its happening but I dont get why anyone would need to physically come here ? Two reasons: 1. Physical collection of property. I’d imagine there is an emotional attachment and won’t feel real or like they can get properly started unless they establish some physical space for themselves at the club. 2. Ego. As seen in a few documentaries about super rich from that part of the world they like to show off their new toys amongst themselves and this is as big as they come. If you are muslim you would understand. Why would they come to Newcastle on their biggest holiday of the year? Would you go to Saudi on Chirstmas eve. Because you are in a last minute Christmas Eve panic that the wife/supreme leader is going to kill you if you don’t get the present they want

Unless they are medical personnel. Maybe they were smuggled in on that Saudi medevac flight after all Quarantine laws haven’t started yet. Assuming they arrived yesterday they can do what they want

My take on today: PIF and JV1 are in Newcastle right now. No other reason why a plane would make that Saudi - London - Newcastle - Saudi flight. I reckon plane went home empty having dropped the required personnel off. There was going to need to be some sort of physical transfer. I do not believe for one second that events at Sheffield Utd are coincidental. I’d imagine a box needed to get ticked and Al Saud complied. But it would be folly to publicly admit to this. That ITK about PR being called in sounds legit to me. All in all this is happening and I think we are ahead of where the media think we are.

Why the sudden need to accurately reflect?
