Exactly this

My thinking too, unless China was a take it now or never situation

Could hear something tomorrow

Has the don deleted his Twitter?

Always find it hillarious when people suggest this. Has this happened at a big club anywhere else?

Haven’t the local press being saying the same things about sources from the ‘city’ tho Haven't BZG stated they have provided proof of funds though. This is the problem the whole thing has been what bzg said v what’s been heard locally/in the city

Honestly our fans are the fucking worst. Why go to the bother of this to wind up fellow fans https://twitter.com/newcastiegoals/status/1145762400425172992?s=21

Who are all these new members. It can’t be coincidence they rattle off similar shite. Mackems?

Cattermole has left. Shame

I'm a bit dissapointed in him tbf. I adored the man but he was building something good here. I wanted to see Almiron and Longstaff under him for a full season and I think top 10 was still a realistic goal for next season. Just seems a shame to chuck all what we had here away to go to some bad Chinese team. He hasn’t left us to go to China. He....in fact I can’t be arsed trying to explain it but you are so wrong

He can’t just sit around waiting for a takeover to happen and the new owners might not appoint him as manager Rafa’s gone Oh, understand that... not the point I was making.... was hoping (dreaming) that he was waiting in the wings to come back to us. If he does sign for this Chinese crew he's the type of gentleman that would honour his contract which means he wouldn't ditch them IF we got new owners and IF they wanted him. Either he's sounded out new owners and been told he wasn't going to be wanted or the takeover is still long way off/pie in the sky. Aye I see what you mean. It’s all just grim.

Looks like I’ve got a favourite Chinese team now.

Bet all the ones saying count me out will join now

That update he was on about few weeks back was about rafa

Good luck Rafa

Behind the paywall sadly

He says pretty much what we all think tbh. Deal agreed. Ashley went back for more (advertising rights etc) and ground to a halt. I suspect if Ashley wanted to walk clean away this would have been complete a month ago but no, he’s a greedy bastard and that shitty tat filled shop of his means more to him

An article from the dentist fella if anyone is interested. https://www.sportsjournal.ae/will-mike-ashley-make-a-deal-with-sheikh-khaled/

This intrigues me. It would have been pretty nailed on for him to support Rafa, stick another knife in Ashley. I wonder why? He's never been slow coming forward, has he? Maybe felt a charity evening wasn’t the time or place

Doesn’t definitely mean he’ll go there. He may turn them down. I wouldn’t begrudge him a relaxing high paid job for a year after the shit he’s had to deal with here over last 3 years

Would rather he went there than another PL club. Just be prepared for ‘he left for the money’ propaganda from Keys, wise, Rio and co
