I think that’s the general opinion of most journalists and one particular lawyer who has looked into it all

A piece on Reddit which sums up the negative feelings everyone is having this morning. “Just seen Craig Hope defending the article saying nowhere does it say that a price hasn’t been agreed. Some keen eyed toon fans proved that wrong as it’s written in the bullet point summary. Hope backtracks and says he hasn’t seen it and now it’s been removed.I think this proves no one should bother taking that opinion puff piece seriously. Let’s all wait a few weeks for the announcement. We’re in this together!” Beautifully summed up I think!

That’s because we keep out non-believers?

Wees that ? He is supposed to be Vice President of Saudis Arabia’s Sports Investment firm

A bit more from that Lawyer girl.....including the fact that she says Samuel is talking crap https://twitter.com/RedRoseMichelle/status/1251085815406526465?s=20

Did they not do this last week according to Caulkin? According to the Telegraph, the paperwork was sent in by both groups(buyers and sellers) at the end of March......pure guesswork but my take is they were given the nod from the Premier League just before Easter(possibly Thursday)....nothing was done over Easter but BANG...come Tuesday all hell let loose with the financial side of the takeover...Again guesswork....no announcement because of the present restrictions over COVID and the announcement will be delayed until an appropriate time is made available....all hypothetical of course.

And how about a round of this to continue our positive mood.

Our new chairman!!

If Steffan says it’s. going well it must be?

Mainly Connection problems on the other thread so let’s hear what Tino thinks of the takeover. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/11406240/newcastle-takeover-faustino-asprilla-transfer-bin-salman/

Na.....believe the Premier League have had all the documentation for a Couple of weeks....a more realistic timetable is 5-10 days

I’d have Almiron in there somewhere personally.

I’m guessing that only Staveley and The Reuben brother will be up for Owners and Directors test, which is why they’re so confident of passing it.

Read and understood...however one thread is to tell Mr Ashley to politely go away and do things rude to himself....another thread is for deep thinkers about the takeover...this thread is for lighthearted banter....hope you don’t mind.

ELP’s Greg Lake back at it again:-

With a change of thread title, from “Futile optimism-Saudi Takeover Edition” and the various in depth discussions about Morals etc now going on, there might be a need to start a new thread titled “Positive Optimism-Saudi Takeover Edition”.....Not wanting to prevent anyone from viewing the thread....it would be nice if only tweets were of a positive and not controversial nature....Outlandish twitter reports, positive media hype and interesting sports stars take on our situation could be a good starting point. This thread is meant to be lighthearted and warming towards our potential takeover...after all there’s not much else positive it the worlds ATM.

A round of applause for all “Believers” who entered this thread yesterday.

What happened to “Futile Optimism” !!!!

Think Jinky is actually Staveley, the sneaky sod. :lol: nice one Jinky Jim[/member] I may have created the thread but you came up with the thread title so I think Sheikhshearer deserves all of the credit...all hail Sheikhshearer

Thank you “Numbers”....if it does go through then yesterday’s positive thinking from all of us has eventually driven the Devils Advocate from our club.....When/if it happens a round of applause for us “Believers”

It’s all gripping news for me....although i do agree with Dr Spaceman about Indykaila...keep it coming Chopey...it’s riveting

Please don’t tell me to fuck off. Don’t spoil it for the rest of us then....we probably know it’s bollocks but at least let us have a few weeks/months of positivity before the inevitable happens.... Happy to observe and not be negative. Not happy to be told to fuck off. I find that quite negative. That’s better...see positive vibes have mellowed your feelings.....we’ll get you onboard or suicidal before the end..Te he Honestly I found the thread amusing. I thought this was tongue in cheek and really just the takeover thread that allowed twitter crap and some debate around it. Was just posting my thoughts on it. I won’t repeat them. Some positives: Silence No denials from the buyer side Couple of the journalists articles I think that’s quite a positive...as you’ve relayed no denials from buyer or seller. Dare not make a list of positives and negatives as I’m sure the negative list will be pretty long. I’ll stick with my hopes and think at long last we may be able to enjoy MOTD by not being last on.
