Not without expanding on the 'prefer if he didn't' bit Hes a great manager and he would be good for us again but if I'm honest I would to see someone with a touch more attacking intent.... what am I saying, fuck it bring Rafa home.

On the first sentence, I suspect we all have reservations, no matter how small. Normally takeovers dont get dragged out in public and fans only find out when it happens. When you think about it, they cant really say anything until the inks dry. What if they announced a takeover was happening and it fell through, however unlikely that is? All parties would look stupid. The first statement from MA will be some bullshit about him selling for the good of the club.

2-4wks Reckon it's a week in.

I dont think I can stomach getting into bed with these scumbags.... I mean, I'm ok with the Saudis but Staveley and the Reubens are Tories.

In simple terms?

I would obviously be happy if Rafa came back but I'd prefer if he didnt... does that make sense?

I'm just waiting for his "I said I'd sell the club to someone who could take it forward" banter. Like hes responsible for any future success. Fuck him. He can have his little moment.

Very emotional at the thought of this happening and not because I'm desperate for some Man City esq payload but just at the thought of the club one day stepping out to the champions league theme. That's where we belong and always have done.

If it's not the beheading of Bruce..

Cant wait for this cunt to get binned.

We are already getting guilt tripped on the KSA human rights angle. Fuck off man. The UK government sells them arms and the bloke has met the queen, but no its Newcastle fans who should feel shame.

Depends when checks started. Depends how much PL have got on atm. Fuck knows.

So much for the, you dont find out anything until it's done craic. :lol: They have left more breadcrumbs than a couple of german kids in a forest.

it's a foregone conclusion anyways man, PL don't knock back money that will feed into the brand How long does it usually take?? seen 4 weeks quoted in various articles, prior to today i wonder if they'll be pushing like crazy to get it done before the lockdown is over Noone knows when they started, TBF. PL have kept quiet.

it's a foregone conclusion anyways man, PL don't knock back money that will feed into the brand Oh I know, cant invite the cunts to Buckingham Palace and have the PL turning down their money. I dont think this thing is a foregone conclusion because by this point I'm like just exhausted. If it happens, I'm cans like everyone else. For now, I'm still keeping my head down.

Will the PL checks be with Staveley or the Saudis? If it's with Staveley it's a foregone conclusion.

I swear in the killing fields of Cambodia there is a sports direct bag filled to the brim with human skulls, because let's be honest, whilst MA is a prick, them bags have extremely strong handles and are made from a durable material.

I listened to that then turned it off. I doubt there is any takeover due to past cases but why the hell would a dentist in Dubhai know. It was quite cringe how he would say he has spoke to people in the football industry and he knows things for fact such as the European league thing. That was common knowledge anyway think he does like the limelight. Yep, was very much me, me, me. He even had the slightest of digs at Caulkin.

Just listened to that dentist on the Chronicle podcast, jesus that is mind numbing. The bloke doesnt have the foggiest what's going on, it's all "a trusted person told me this." What was quite clear is that hes been embarrassed with the BZG thing falling through. He will be gutted if the Saudi's get the club.

The last two.

they will be on a pay rise.

If, if, if, if he ever sells us then the absolute last thing he will do is buy another football club!!! The only reason he might, repeat might, sell us is if his retail empire is on the verge of collapsing and he desperately needs £350m to support it. That is our only hope. With retail as it is, the economy on the verge of collapsing, property prices set to crash for several years, it might be a good reason to sell. I dont think he will sell either, it's just conjecture, it's also unlikely he would buy another club.

I wouldnt rule out him buying a foreign club, to market his tat overseas.

If MA was to buy another club, it would be a PL or big Championship club who is on its knees financially, preferably ones with administrators who would take whatever deal he offered. He would rename the stadium in a heartbeat and go about making them financially solid. He would hire Allardyce to keep them steady, then milk the exposure for as long as he could.

Oh and no director or chairman should ever publicly voice their opinions on what is happening on the pitch. Not for a podcast, not for netflix and not in the stands. It puts unnecessary pressure on the manager when one of the gaffers is shouting "change it". Fucking amateur hour.
