I really think our media team just saw too good an opportunity. Imagine if it was your job to do the nufc media for new signings, you'd be bored ********. No wonder it was OTT, staff haven't had to work in January for about four years. I'll be interested to see how much he adds to the team; I just can't shake the feeling that it won't be much. I sure as hell hope I'm wrong.

What seems to be missing in the timelines is the December restaurant meeting. The third bid was in and it seems that the curry discussion led towards a possible compromise and chance of a deal. I think we can assume MA thought another bid was coming and when nothing arrived he's spat out his dummy. He didn't want the relegation clauses and didn't want to take the risk of relegation; now he is faced with the latter. In true MA style this may involve three loan signings and lets trust Rafa but it is a risk he is having to now take. Did PCP string him along here to force him into a January decision he didn't want to make? Now that he is taking on the risk of relegation I don't think anything will happen until it is clear which league we are in next year. By then the new TV deal will be known and the impact of the HRMC investigation may be clearer. If we stay up he will want his £350m but that might be easier for PCP to pay knowing we have another year of TV money and a summer to spend and rebuild. I do think he wants out and there is only one buyer in town at present so this will continue to run imo.

Hehe, aye on BBC it'll be... "We have an exclusive interview with New Newcastle United Chairwoman, Amanda Staveley, but first, lets just relive that Ronnie Radford Thunderbolt from 1973." 1972, watch 100 times till you get it right! Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

This. Takes SD closer to being MA's private company and will be to the gain of remaining shareholders if it turns out the company is under valued. Less of those pesky independent investors to deal with. IMO, just speculating.

I'm sure Rooney got an assist when he missed a pen recently. The keeper pushed it onto the post and C-L scored the rebound. In this case the keeper doesn't count as material? PS I have Kane as captain so this isn't just a fun debate

What is the rule? Kane passed to Ali. Ali scores. No Assist??

Refuse to judge any player coming into the league until their second season.

Someone better tell Rafa the summer transfer budget went on a new club facility in the Brixton area

Well £250m might be low but MA has gone from wanting £400m to around £300m during negotiations so far. If a deal could be struck for £275m and Rafa backed to keep us away from relegation then PCP will have done well. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

Who is playing LB?

Reckon a second bid is in but no leaks this time (yet) Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Hi Mike

Because he knows that if he doesn't spend in January there is a risk of relegation and then he wouldn't get his 300m. Even if we avoided relegation Rafa will go without backing and then he wont get 300m. Now is his only chance to get 300m!

Did you not see the NYSE yesterday?

Don't agree at all but their keeper has the highest save percentage fwiw pope comes for crosses better, & i believe the rebound from elliot that resulted in the goal he would've handled better Pope loves crosses I should imagine. Nailed on Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

They probably want to get Moyes in whilst he is still a free agent. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Gone Palace, Swansea and Brighton. But think it is going to be so close that transfers and injuries will still have a big part to play. Much easier to choose Man C as champions!

Going to have to say it. Stuff like this and ‘she’s a MILF’ and such is getting cringe worthy now. Well said. Plenty of Hollywood threads at present if people want to discuss the rights and wrongs of treating women solely as sexual objects. I for one hope she has the brains, contacts and ability to make nufc successful. That's the only real debate worth having here.

First goal Manquillo should have stopped the shot, there should have been cover from midfield to help out but Elliott has to save the shot. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

Shelvey at 10 ??

I think Findlay will get a start Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Can't believe I'm bottom already.

Might hafe been citeh when he first joined, he looked decent tbf Agree that the Citeh game was his best. You could make allowances for going backwards under Pardew but after last season he has to go.
