Fancy there could be an announcement just before kick off today saying that the deal is done and we now have new owners.........oh and they've sacked Bruce as well

He'll have no problem with social distancing the way he plays

I can't help but feel that Rafa DESERVES to come back and build his vision. He is one of the few who actually cares about the city, the fans and the people. Bring him home

Bruce says he would back himself for a crack at the job under the new owners. Can't see anyone else backing him like

Anybody but Bruce

Wish I could switch off

If this all falls through I can just hear Mike Ashley.....' I couldn't stand by and watch this great club falling into the wrong hands. All I've ever wanted is what's best for NUFC and it's fans'

With all of the trade we do with China it's a good thing they haven't been involved in any human rights problems. Perhaps people should stop buying mobile phones in protest

He will be sending letters to the players telling them to keep fit by doing lots of running

He probably thinks Zoom is a motorbike and I doubt he's got a computer anyway

I missed the 3.00 pm announcement of the takeover........what happened?

What with lock down and this not knowing I'm beginning to feel that this is just another false dawn

Takeover or not, I just want Bruce away from this club. I have never ever rated him during his whole managerial career and I'm a lot older than him. In my opinion he has never ever justified being in charge of a Premiership club, or a Championship one even. He has proved to be a consistent failure and has shown no loyalty to any clubs he's been with.

All the reports are 'Could be' or Might be' or 'it is expected' Any of us on here could write these articles which confirm nothing at all

Could do a lot worse than bring Rafa as manager for a couple of years until he gets all of the structure in place then make him DOF

Bruce............'I was on the verge of winning the FA cup and turning my boyhood club into title contenders'

They'll need Charnley to 'get it over the line' because they know how good he is at doing that.

If Ashley pulls out of this deal and the Saudis lose their £17 mill deposit they might decide to just behead him

Maybe he will take Staveley out for a Kebab and sweep her off her feet with his good looks, charm, football knowledge and vision then we could get a few more years of 'Since I walked through the door' etc

I sort of hoped Bruce would stay here long enough fall flat on his face and be exposed for the fraud that he is. However, getting rid of MA will compensate for that

There will never be a better time for MA to sell. If he doesn't he will need to put his hand in his pocket to support the club, something he doesn't like doing. If you are looking at it long term and your funds are plentiful it is a good time to buy, exchange rates for foreign investors are favorable and if you can get a club like NUFC, with the potential it offers, at the right price it's worth a punt

As we no longer have any scouting staff, not that they'll be any miss, we should just forget all about transfers

I wonder if and when football starts again that the players could be banned from their none stop spitting while on the pitch. It is said that they need to do it because of their exertions etc but they don't spit all over the floor of the Gym when they are working out in there

I wonder how clubs stand on this because players are employed to play but there is no football. I wonder if there will come a point where their contracts become invalid. I find it incredible that players have not offered to take a cut or offer to pay the wages of those employees further down the money ladder, those who need it. I can really see this developing into a massive shit storm
