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.

Not so much a scrap, more of a full on buffet.

That's been my take. Regardless of what's happening at MA's end... these fuckers certainly seem convinced they are buying us. Like proper nutcase certain.

?? Is that a guess?

It was just a fan who typed the names into companies house every day who got the scoop, so simple but once again caught the journalists with their pants down.

I'm telling you, Rafas contract hold up HAS to be because of a takeover. It's the only thing that makes sense. Either Ashley intends to sell before his contract is up, therefore sees no reason to renew his contract. Or BZG have told him not renew as they want their own man.

Said he didn't have an update and then in the same tweet said he expected an update this week. You reckon he was tipped off about something later on in the week?
