I might be a bit stupid but how does not spending money on the transfer window maximse Ashley's profits? It's not like he's spending his own money. Money spent by the club might be deducted from the sale price. It's a big gamble though. Doesn't the money just turns into club assets? Yeah I don't really understand how a club with 100m in cash is more valuable than a club with 80m in cash and a 20m striker on the pitch.

So... I assume everyone is driving and that's why its gone quiet?

Nothing has changed and neither has the fact they want a relegation clause which Ashley won’t accept and that is a massive deal stopper bearing in mind they could lose 100 million plus if the deal was done and then we went down. I'm sure its not a deal stopper as we'd have heard by now if it was off. You don’t get it the deal currently is not off but PCP won’t buy the club without a relegation clause and Ashley won’t give them one so that is a deal stopper until the summer as I can’t see either budging. Trust me I hope I’m wrong. I trust you to be wrong just as much as everyone else. We're all just guessing here.

Hasn't it been pretty widely reported that it could be completed at the end of January earliest? Don't really understand what has changed if you don't count some rumours turning out to be full of shit.

Bump.

I'ts PANTAMANDALAIMON

I really don't know why but journalists being thick twats really annoys me way more than it should. I never rant at anyone on Twitter and barely write at all but I've almost lashed out on some of the Newcastle reporters several times.

Was fun for 12 hours or so.

Fairly sure Lee's going for the "nothing imminent, things progressing normally" update today.

Here you go buddy:

:lol: (for anyone who somehow doesn't get it) That was so last week.

I don't know what happened but he looked like a completely different player mentally in that second half. Suddenly full of confidence destroying people on the dribble left and right. So glad he got that fantastic assist. Will do a lof of good for him getting some end result.

Just refreshing this thread as my tv is lagging behind.

Murphy really grew in confidence that half. Good job lad.

Was just about to say that Murphy has improved massively 2nd half!

Diame has been a positive surprise. Won lots of 50-50s on midfield that started our scoring opportunities.

Actually a really good 45 from us. Just add better finishing and this will be over quickly. No reason to change anything.

Murphy has been terrible

Why on earth?

Thats what makes me so angry. Great chance to attack on the counter but Murphy places a simple pass behind Yedlin. Fucking do the simple things well please.
