Yes to be fair tho it’s pretty much just something that was in the papers

The Mag is fucking abysmal now. The fact that people just submit articles online rather than having to post them in and having a limit on articles per month has opened it up to every idiots immediate reaction. They make it so much worse by writing headlines which gives the impression that they are facts they are sharing and not options. Obviously this is done in order to get the click bait reactions. It’s just horrific though, just what was a light hearted fan magazine that turned into an advertisement revenue generator for the owners of the Mag. That’s not the mag

Sad news RIP

The away shirt looks like a finger print

http://www.true-faith.co.uk/the-patter-takeover-stuck/ We’re getting no further information out of anyone about the much reported takeover but going over some reporting over the last fortnight we spotted this and thought it might be useful to chuck in to the pot for us to have a think about. This was in The Star last week from Ollie Salt who quoted Duncan Castle – a fellow hack regards some potential sticking points regards two clubs in the PL being run by Abu Dhabi: “Talking to people in Abu Dhabi, they would be surprised if at this stage Abu Dhabi would sanction, allow another member of the royal family, even if he was doing it off his own back, to buy another Premier League club because of the PR issues involved. If you have to go in, there are gonna be question marks about Abu Dhabi owning not one, but two [clubs]. You would expect a lot of spending on players, you would expect an inflation-rate effect. The question you’re asking: is this really the time to allow this to happen, when they’re under investigation from all four football-regulatory authorities? The alternative interpretation would be that they’re saying ‘well stuff you, we’re gonna buy another one and we’ll do what we want.’ Castles identifies problems at the Abu Dhabi end but it is also likely the PL will have questions about the relationships between owners of potentially the same families from the same royal family. All speculation on our part however.

One or the other

I believe that things are presumably at some kind of advanced stage but that interview was a load of pre-rehearsed toss and proves nothing. He's only ever publicly made comments about Newcastle when he's got allies like David Craig or whoever that bloke was to ask questions he has scripted answers to. Nothing genuine in it at all. Was just an example of him not ‘rubbishing’ rumours months later. Hate it when people say stuff like Sean did and pass it off as fact when there’s clear evidence it’s not The initial point Thompson mouse made was that they’ve made no comment. No stoking the flames and no rubbishing it. Suggests a change in tact if nothing else

Or, if you look at Caulkins tweets, they know next to nothing and have been hammered because of their bullshit. They’ve no decided t stay quiet. No comment from the club is the most significant thing It's really not significant at all. Previous "takeovers" went on for months before Ashley came out to call them time wasters etc. While this one goes on Rafas contract is running down and we are completely failing to prepare for the coming season. Caulkin is sceptical, as we all should be. We're a shambles again but everyones too giddy about the thought of new ownership to care. Actually wasn’t it Ashley that started the kenyon one when he went on sky and said they were as far as it’s been. Point being he didn't rubbish it straight away. He lets them run their course for a while. The sky news takeover interview came out the blue apart from one sky news story in September. Ashley didn’t rubbish it. He said it was happening Said it was happening = he lied as usual. And whether he stays silent or fans the takeover flames is irrelevant, my point was that he doesn't rubbish the rumours straight away. And you say you can't deal with stupid Theres no conspiracy either. Either he wants to sell, in which case he'll do a deal. Or he doesn't really want to sell, in which case he won't sell (like previously). So the fact the club have said nothing yet = takeover's as good as done? Don’t think anyone has said they expected him to come out and rubbish it they are saying no comment. As you say it’s probably beneficial for him to lie. I’d say the statements from bzg and the new company are more important tbh I’d be weary of saying its a done deal. Something is clearly going on tho.

Ashley went on sky news on December the 3rd to say the club was in process of being sold so I’d say the fact they are staying quiet is significant Also the Mexicans have came out and said they are looking at Newcastle. Bzg release statements and start a company using a highly expensive and respectable law firm. Yet people still think it’s some sort of conspiracy. Sorry I just can’t deal with stupid

There’s nothing new to tell? The nationals have plenty of stories to go at, the Chronicle rely on Newcastle news, that’s why they’re the only ones keep pushing it. The rest will report when something actually happens or they have something new. Pretty much this. A new company started by bzg called monochrome is big news to the chronicle. The nationals won’t be interested until it’s done.

Get a grip Gaz nothing is happening man full stop. Done today Another day, some old shit. Give it a rest. No one has forgotten your opinion on it. Just shut the fuck up

Welcome our next manager

It’s the weekend

I wonder who the other two groups are if indeed there are two. The Mexicans?

A post on rtg the Sunderland fans didn’t think of one of their own young fan mentally scarred for life when they were singing “Adam Johnson he fucks who he wants”

Who? What?

Means it’s at least another few weeks away if anything happens

From the chronicle amongst waffle about the advertising boards “The Bin Zayed Group remain confident in private that they are making progress in their bid to buy Newcastle, though at least two other groups are also understood to have held discussions with Mike Ashley lawyers over the past month-and-a-half. One thing that was clarified behind the scenes at the AGM was that the Premier League are still yet to formally begin the owners' and directors' test - incorrectly referred to as the 'fit-and-proper-persons test' by the Bin Zayed Group in one of their statements last week - though a 'heads of terms' letter signed by Ashley and Sheikh Khaled has been received by the top flight's governing body. (CW)”

How’s he only 20 in that pic

Nah. Good try tho
