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.

One of the largest Middle-East Websites has the following info:- https://english.alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2020/4/15/saudi-closes-in-on-newcastle-football-club-takeover-deal

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.

No place for realism in this thread....there’s loads of threads about that...we’re trying to relieve our boredom with some, perhaps, dubious links to possible takeover.....read them, laugh a little but at least it wiles away the day thinking there might just be a chance that we might get rid of the devil incarnate

Don’t come onto this thread then...only believers allowed in....we will get our come uppance in due course..meanwhile soak in the positive vibes....other threads deal with the shit show that pretends to be the club.

Just pretend to be excited...it’ll get you through the next couple of months....Then you can get depressed

Positive thoughts......Good

From that fund of all knowledge “The Shields Gazette” Paperwork has been filed by both potential buyer and seller to the Premier League, which puts this takeover bid one step beyond that of last summer’s protracted, and failed, attempt by the Bin Zayed Group of Dubai. And speaking to well-placed sources, the Gazette understands Sheffield United’s ownership would NOT conflict with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia taking majority control of Newcastle United due to Prince Abdullah’s investment being a private one. Therefore, the issue is unlikely to be problematic when it comes to the league’s owners and directors test.
