And miss all this fun? Piss off!! I'm all aboard this takeover train!! choo-choo!!!

As soon as the lockdown is over with (and assuming it's been confirmed by then! ) I'm on the first train down and plan to get completely off my tits with all you lovely people!!!

This shit should not be said even in jest.

The buyers side of this deal submitted a 350 page document to the premier league of what their plans were for us over the coming years. It's part of the owners and directors test. Would love to have seen the FCB's submission to the PL. Would probably have been a SD catalogue with a free mug.

This, it's short-sighted to think anything else. He's got unfinished business here, we owe him, also there could be no one better to rebuild us from top to bottom. Anyone wanting someone else has a short fucking memory like. 100% agree. These folk criticising Rafa just stop for a second, take a deep breath and think back....think back to what he had at his disposal and what amazing things he did and bear in mind he was getting fucked by the very people who were meant to be in place to 'whatever Rafa wants, Rafa gets'. Then take another deep breath, close your eyes and think what a Newcastle team led by Rafa would play like where he was properly financed in transfer windows and allowed to bring in his first choice players........ Anyway, that wasn't really my point......Right now this is about so so much more than what happens on the pitch at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon. This club is completely fucked from the very bottom to the very top. I truly believe Rafa had/has a plan and is capable of fixing this club.

Ditto with me. Geuinely think I'm gonna blub when/if it's actually announced.

His first Monday after the new owners are confirmed...... "Right Andy, Joelinton, you boys are the future of this club. Lets get you new contracts sorted out". At the very most he could be given till the end of this season (whenever and whatever guise it takes) but not a second longer and only if their preferred can't/won't be available until seasons end. Imagine Rafa getting in now, think of the foundations we could have in place for next season when it starts. I can't imagine that there hasn't been some sort of feelers put out to Rafa recently from the buying side.

A year? You yanking my pisser? WTF? Get shot of the cunt the moment it's all official.

never done it on a cold wet night at burnley At this late stage in his career he wouldn't be able to take on board Bruce's complicated tactical breakdown for each individual opponent. FWIW - I still can't access the site on my Win10 laptop or fire tablet. Having to use my work laptop. Better be careful what I search for.

Essentially yes. It’s total guesswork as to how the deal is constructed but it’s well into its process now. Once the PL have done their checks which indeed does seem a formality, they can make the required payment and it will all be done. What we don’t know is if it’s a clean break, or will Ashley still have some sort of contract on the club shop. There’s bound to be some hidden nasty we haven’t seen yet. Cheers!! Sounds so fucking close I can smell it!

Just been listening to audio clips of jim white on the radio, saying that the docs signed are legally binding, i.e. Ashley can't back out or move goal posts now. Can anyone confirm that's correct? Only thing left is for the PL to do fit & proper test which most folk are saying is a formality?

Rafa 100% all the way. Provided we can extricate him from his current contract. He was loved by 99.9% of the fans. He "got" the club and what it stood for. Along with us he dared to dream of what could be. He has some kind of relationship with Amanda. He had plans, on paper at least, of where he wanted to take the club. I would imagine he's still got them on file. This club is broken from top to bottom . Rafa is one of the few who could revamp the entire club to build foundations to serve us for many years to come. He knows the players, they know him. Wouldn't be a bedding-in/handover period required. Bonus as well it would be a sly "fuck you" towards Ashley. Ps. Has to be done asap. None of this "bruce has earned" bullshit.

In all my #cans excitement i just remembered this has not been signed sealed and delivered yet!! Someone (virtually) hold me!

Very fucking well put!!

What the actual fuck is going on? I was in this thread last night and was sceptical to say the very least. Lots of Twitter ITK wankers crawling out the woodwork again. Thought it was repeat of the summer. Stayed off the forum until tonight... just caught up on the last 30 odd pages... I'm in fuckin la-la land here!!

got a tear in my eye seeing that again.

If he caught it, he’d go into intensive care and be moments from dying, only for things to go quiet on his condition and then suddenly we find out he’s made a full recovery. Ventilator watch would be fun though Would it not be schadenfreude if he did get it and Freddy Shepherd's son swoops in and buys it off him (akin to what the fcb did to Freddy). Not that I'm wanting the Shepherd's anywhere near the club mind! Was just a weird thought.....

5-0 win against the manc scum. Special memories of that match and day.

Can't wait for the chronic's articles about "Steve's top 5 tips to avoid covid-19" or "this started in China - Rafa moved to China few months before it started......just saying"

We're going down with the Villa!! Down with the Villa!!

Oh can you just imagine! Season unable to be completed.... Liverpool as 2019/20 champions but with a massive asterix next to it.

Thank God for Steve Wraith!! Feel like Neo from the matrix. I can now see the truth thanks to his amazing 'experiment'. fucking plum!

Am I fuck reading that article.
