Its like groundhog day. It's like groundhog day.

You would have to assume that someone thinks the takeover will be done before Rafa's contract expires. Either the takeover falls through and Rafa decides on his future with Ashley or the takeover happens and (hopefully) Rafa is offered a different vision by the new lot.

Went through my mind.

Lucky its Dubai.

What illness did he have? Hope he wasnt one of the ones who ate a supermarket sandwich.

Sick to fuck of being the only club who dont prepare whatsoever for the next season. "Business as usual," the only truth the club have ever told us.

They wouldn't, but you'd think the Bin Zayed Group would seeing as they have been so adamant to the press that they are for real and are buying us. All they have released is a vague statement so I think it's safe to assume they haven't reached that stage yet. :lol: Aye, no bother, they will just live stream the whole thing. Also, their statements weren't vague.

It's funny how the Chronicle can give us stuff like that but cant explain WHY it hasnt begun or indeed what the hold ups are?

Fair play to Penn mind, he added to this bizarre social experiment.

I was worried Penn might be some ITK but I checked his posts and hes pretty much a gobshite, as you were.

Despite all the evidence to the contrary, I do worry this takeover will fall flat on its arse and we will be in an absolute shambles. I know their not the best but all of the NUFC journalists seem to be getting the same messages, that it's either no where near or that it wont happen. Even the likes of Caulkin wont say he thinks it might happen. I honestly dont know in what scenario it would fall through, as I dont believe all the conspiracy stuff, far too much money has been poured in at this stage. Does anyone else that impending sense of inevitable doom? Edit: Its semi irrational but it just feels so very Newcastle to allow us to see the light before switching it off again.

I think every club has a thousand stories of who they nearly signed, well apart from Sunderland.

More signs to be "cleaned" eh?

"Ok so seating is in order of who gets paid the most, yes Lee that means you are in the fucking car park."

As long as there is no conflict of interest, on the footballing side or Bin Zayed doesn't owe Mansour a couple of billion quid, he should be ok.

You just know the PL tests are more stringent for us. Its us. Anyway, I've missed this craic about the signs? Are they just down for cleaning?

Neither would be a problem I wouldn't have thought, sorry mate but I always a bit dubious when the line 'is what I have heard but can't say anything'. Hope you're right. Huss is a decent bloke and not one to lie, I wouldnt have thought.

"So called",fit and proper persons, now makes sense.

Possible but I suspect egg head will stay tight lipped to the press. Hopefully he will slip up.

Edwards and Hope have been very quiet on yesterdays development. Either they are working out how not to embarrass themselves like Downie did or they are keeping their heads down before doing the whole "understand a deal is now closer," bullshit, like they have some sort of scoop.

Boom, back down to earth.

Cheers Odin. If you are a bullshitter, you are very good at it.

Does Odin have credibility? I mean, sorry to be talking so openly about you Odin but your info is so good that I need to know that your not just a WUM. And Greg, he's a mod, surely he wouldnt put his neck on the line? (Unless he was guessing) All seems to good to be true. I'm severely hoping for a major scoop from someone like Caulkin, an exclusive interview confirming it or whatever.

That Hollie Taylor seems a right toss pot I blocked her and have no idea why.

Get out, now.
