You laugh but let's wait and see. I bet I'm proven right in time Suppose you did turn out to be correct having goaded us for weeks.....what will you get out of it.....the rest of us will be gutted....how will you feel? Devastated. Sickened. I haven't goaded anyone I'm just offering some balance to the hysteria. People are getting far too carried away over the tiniest of things and looking for messages that aren't there. I'm just saying people need to be prepared for the possibility that this won't happen. Fair enough...nice to hear you’d be as gutted as the rest of us.

Don’t think so but it wiles away the time.

Spot on

When the takeover happens within the next week, we’re surely not going to allow Bruce to oversee what is effectively the start of a new season.We cannot surely let him finish the last 9 games then hire a new manager, who is then likely to have about 2 weeks to prepare for the real new season...better to appoint ASAP and allow the new manager time to sort out his own style and develop it with the players at his disposal.

Been staying quietly confident for a while now....but my positivity has gone up a few notches in the last 24 hours

Must be on commission. thanks Jonjo Hold on.....there’s still 9 games to go...plenty of time for Pork Pie Chops to still relegate Us

To me, this part of NUFC.coms latest note is the most relevant part . . . If, as they say, this documentation was "simultaneously circulated to media outlets", then surely the media would have used it, and we would all know EXACTLY what this documentation said and probably who had sent it. Have I missed the publication of that documentation?? If they say that” documentation was received by the PL and simultaneously circulated to media outlets[/b], that detailed an apparent breach of the PL checks by Staveley & Co.”....then someone in the PL is passing information given by Staveley and Co in their application to outside agencies, otherwise how would anyone know whether they have/have not handed misleading information to the PL.....in other words someone at the PL doesn’t want this bid to succeed and is actively passing on sensitive information......I’ve got to say I’m a bit dubious with this, as the PL would be open to a huge legal battle over distribution of sensitive material....I’m guessing that all members of the PL are also subject to strict confidence. I’m in the “this is bullshit” brigade......Always trying to be positive...at least for the moment.

A good Listen even if it’s a bit cringeworthy at times Video on the GallowgateShots instagram from two lawyers and their perspective on the current takeover position. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CALmao4juNW/?igshid=baocldcymnlp

Agree...cheered me up...usually go to bed full of the usual negative media bullshit

Paper headlines for the next day cause panic at night, Caulkin and Shell calm everyone down the next day. Shampoo, rinse, repeat. Right I’m going to sleep all evening and enjoy my day of positive takeover vibes before going back to bed at teatime...shampoo,rinse,repeat

Why do i always feel good during the day about the takeover, then something/someone always comes along to spoil my evening and my sleeping patterns...could you not have waited to tell us this during the day to spoil my day instead of my evening

If you saw Jinky Jim play your grandad must be a canny age :lol: I'm 67 and saw Jimmy Smith play and I also saw him in the Cavendish night club on a regular basis His nutmeg was legendary

Grabbed this from reddit...absolutely love the idea of “Grandad” being the first to find out that Charnley has left Here’s to Grandad “Okay, so I know how this is going to sound, but here goes. My Grandad works as a steward at St. James', been working there longer than I've been alive. That should sort out credibility. He drove to mine to drop off birthday cards for my sister and said Charnley's office has been emptied. I asked if I could quote him on that, he shrugged and said, "furlough," so... #cans?! edit: Grandad is furloughed, doesn't give a shit.”

Ok, it’s only the chronicle but any positive vibes is welcome “Newcastle takeover news LIVE: Confidence remains high of progress Amanda Staveley, the Reuben brothers and the Saudi Public Investment Fund close in on deal that would see Mike Ashley's time at NUFC come to an end”

I’ve got PIF tweet alerts set up and would have got an alert even if it was deleted. didn’t get one so that’s probably nonsense Of course it’s probably nonsense....but you never know....hence I put it in this thread...if nothing else you can smirk at the triviality of it.

Apparently this is a tweet from PIF Saudi which went up then was deleted almost immediately.Its about recent global acquisitions and has a picture of the statue of Sir Bobby.Someone on twitter thinks it is a premade tweet ready to go up about acquisitions and was supposed to be scheduled to go up but went live by mistake,hence it was taken down quickly....could mean an announcement soon....Really scraping the barrel here. https://i.gyazo.com/46c4ed36e3b7d13bd0aed268228b6581.png

Couldn’t resist putting this in here, even though it’s in the Other thread....from .com, and they’ve barely mentioned it at all in the past 5 weeks, so perhaps they’ve had some info that we’re not privy to...anyway see below:- Takeover: Last lap We understand that the much-heralded purchase of Newcastle United by a consortium comprising the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, Amanda Staveley and the Reuben brothers will be ratified and announced before next weekend. That will follow the granting of formal approval of the deal by the Premier League - a process that has taken around five weeks, due in part to controversy over the Saudi involvement and efforts to restart the season.

A class find on twitter about the Hairy One

The Mighty Lee speaks..

Firstly, about 10 posts above the one I posted people were speculating saying “does anyone believe it’s done and just waiting for an announcement”. Then the post I quoted said “if it’s done”. I replied saying it isn’t done, and then proceeded to tell you the truth, as backed up by Wullie, about how I know beyond reasonable doubt that it isn’t done yet (at least not as of Friday night). There’s no claiming to be in the know...there’s just facts from the only journalists worth listening to. Fucking bizarre thing to get het up over when you have RS and other posters in this thread regularly spouting any old bullshit that have no basis in fact at all. But, go for it. Get pissy about someone sharing some info from a journalist. ? Put it in the Positive Optimism Thread....no one will have a go at you there.

It’s from the Daily Star so it must be correct
