But with their powers combined...cometh the time cometh the Hitzfeld.

Surely cant be another 2/3 weeks without confirmation. Everyone is getting stir crazy locked up at home as it is. My tiny brain cant wait that long.

Maybe just as simple as their ties to real estate in Newcastle and the Gosforth race course. Maybe they are just invested in the area, knew Stavely and wanted in on the project?

Dabizas back in? Weird one.

Enter Richard Keys.. expect quotes from more allies imminently.

Feck me. Imagine giving bruce all that money to spend. Would be schtevie all over again. Has to go at season end or before next season.

Many of them packed their season tickets in and have been replaced by free ticket Ashley’s. The club is going to have to kick the free ticketers our and let them have their seats back if they want the flags back. Offer doesn't run past the end of the season does it? Could be a nice out for Wor Flags back in!

The amount of players leaving if Rafa is back will be glorious. Just hope ASM isn't one of them. Not sure how he and Benitez would co-exist.

Na.....believe the Premier League have had all the documentation for a Couple of weeks....a more realistic timetable is 5-10 days Hope so. Seems silly these would leak so heavily if it was going to rumble on another month!

3 or 4 more weeks of this. Fuck.

Absolutely! Has to be someone with charisma or a supreme being like Rafa. Given his links with stavely I cant see past the spanish waiter. I am sure he has been in the loop the whole time. China is a nice stop gap for a ton of money. I think he could have waited for a premier league job which tells me he would still relish the return if not that he is holding out in hope of one.

Rafa with money? You arent seeing the same type of football we saw with Ashley backing. You wouldnt have labelled Liverpool boring or conservative under him. When necessary sure but there isnt another manager I'd want here. As Rafalove says, he is capable of building a club from the ground up. We dont need someone who won't get the area, fanbase and club. There might be sexier choices but I'd have Rafa back in a heartbeat.

Newcastle-online zoom let's get pissed celebration party coming up! I'm still not even close to being convinced the takeover will happen. Been here before. Until the club announce something it's not real.

Catts for me. Not picking Louay after his past discressions.

So we are at the same stage as we were with BZG in the summer? We just saw the fat man keeping sports direct open in the current climate. He wont take a penny less than he wants for us and noone with any sense will pay his kings ransom. Fully prepared for the same disappointment again. Even more mass apathy and more than a healthy amount of people saying how well Bruce has done and we will be fine with if Ashley has to stay.

Fully expect this to go through with Rafa returning shortly after, followed by a new deadly strain of virus wiping out every last human being, leaving the Mackems to rule the earth.

R.I.P. Very sad.

Surely they will just take the league as is? Maybe have the four teams that have only played 28 play once more. It's as fair as anything else. Thing is for every 1 person diagnosed there are probably at least 3/4 that arent. That is a ridiculously conservative number too. How many people have had it and thought it was a cold and journeyed on spreading it. For us in Canada it's barely spread but does the government sit tight and end up being reactive like everyone else or go proactive even if its extreme in the short term. The economy is screwed either way and worse if it drags on 6months to a year.

Aye, it seems far away but there needs to be extreme caution. It needs the world taking measures together to help it pass. Unchartered territory really.

So Liverpool stay holders of the Champions league but denied the premier league? That would be something. Absolutely no way of telling how long this will last. Postponing the Euro's seems extreme but in actuality this could be running well into the start of the summer.

Well to be fair I dont think Joelinton misses all of those chances Gayle gets. That is mainly because he wouldnt have likely been in the right position.

If we had any decent central midfielders that set up could actually work. Should also credit Manquillo who worked really well with Lazaro.

Gayle is so shit. Should have been game over 1-4. No doubt he never wanted to leave and feels at home in the north east. All the players we have that should have been shipped out and aren't good enough a having a ball with Bruce here.

Joelinton getting murdered.
