Matz Sels

Has not improved  the midfield one little bit . Not sure he is even an upgrade  on Saivet. Pointless  Bruce signing.

Out, Yedlin and Ritchie

In,  Atsu and  Saviet.

No new signings, 

We’re looking at Habib Diallo and Ibou Sissoko from Strasbourg.

Looking  . That's  is far as it will  go .

Just go Bruce , you are simply  too far out of your depth .

Massive climb down from KSA required for this to happen. Can’t see it. Not sure how anyone can.

 

I'm not saying it will/won't happen.

 

But why would Bein (Qatar) pay £500m for PL rights (which is the same they paid last time and included broadcasting in Saudi) if they didn't think Saudi were going to allow them to start broadcasting? Surely they'd pay less on the basis the PL rights aren't worth as much to them?

 

If anything, I would think this a concession from Saudi and it'll be officially confirmed at some point that Saudi will allow Bein to be aired in their country.

 

Why would Newcastle vote against it?

Maybe because  Ashley believes Bein cost him over 300 million pounds .

If Ashley  takes legal  action action against the premier league.  I  wonder  if they would rather offer Ashley a decent out of court settlement than get dragged though the courts .

 

I'm sure the PL would much rather paying Ashley a settlement fee than getting dragged through court, but could the PL afford a fee substantial enough to make Ashley not pursue legal action?

 

Ashley is out of pocket anything up to and around at least £100 million - this number comes from the determination that the current takeover agreement was for £300 million and the estimate is that any new valuation (post COVID19) for NUFC would likely be substantially less than that (e.g. around £200 million or less, the difference being the £100 million).  So, if he pursued the PL in the courts then he would likely seek damages of around £100 million + legal costs.

 

Other conversations have suggested that the buying consortium might sue the PL to recover their £17 million deposit (I won't address the legitimacy or otherwise of that claim here), but there have also been suggestions that having to pay out £17 million would likely bankrupt the League.

 

So, if the PL wanted to pay out Ashley (to prevent a court case), how much could the PL afford?  Could the PL afford a large enough payout to make Ashley go away (e.g. £10 million would only be 10% of Ashley's likely/potential claim), without bankrupting themselves?

Good points , i had no idea  that even 17 million  could bankrupt  them .

If Ashley  takes legal  action action against the premier league.  I  wonder  if they would rather offer Ashley a decent out of court settlement than get dragged though the courts .

I am sure Ashley will  this to go though .

Cant see anyone else that will be willing to pay 300 million at the moment for a bottom half of the table team, that needs major investment  on the field  also.

Optus  sport  now reporting  it here in Australia

incredible that they decided that pudgy, clueless wankstain was the appropriate followup to rafa because of local connections and that some people have bought it up.

Plus bring him in after  pre season has started , give him little if any say in transfers.

What could possibly  go wrong ?

Normally I'm utterly fuming whilst another transfer window passes and nothing seems to be happening. As it stands now though, I'm delighted, we need this season to be an utter failure.

It's  just a normal transfer  window .  Nothing  changes .

Lost his place under the last  manager  , The new manager  wants  to give him a chance  to prove he's  good enough  to start each week .

That's  football  at this level, would not read too much into it . Don't  think he was having a go at  Rafa too much .

Just pay up the rest of his contract. .

 

With Bruce in charge he'll probably get a couple of years extension.

What a nightmare  that would be .  I'd  rather  play with 10 men than have him in the team .

Just pay up the rest of his contract. .

Not even men agaist  boys , it's  worse than that .

Not sure if i should laugh  or cry .  Such an awful appointment.

Redfearn 20/1 make yourselves some easy money

He's  down to 17/1 here  in Australia  with sports  bet .

If the next manager is a dog shit standard Ashley appointment we should be hounding him out on day 1. Fuck what the media think of it. I'm sick of Ashley's shit appointments. It hurts more now.

I agree  as  it will be an awful appointment . It will just be a matter of how embarrassing the appointment  will be .

Always loved breakaways .

still think he'll take a +£100m profit in cash myself

I agree .

He has lost / spent a lot of money this year .

Work over for another  day . Will keep checking my arabic sports and news channels for any updates   (well it must be better than  watching Australian  t.v .)
