Benítez in that photo I noticed too and was all then done an image search for nufc team and it's one of the first results.

Seriously! I had to watch that to see who that was. Was like, oh yeah, he plays for us doesn't he.

Treatment of Jonas

So he'd still be our manager then? Fuck me! One of the biggest signs that we really do (hopefully 'did' soon!) have the most incompetent fucking morons running us. Who the fuck gets an 8 year contract in football?

Not sure if this is a joke or note so I'll bite.... please expand?

Personally find their stuff a bit hit and miss but enjoyed this one.

Of all people being left in limbo by this whole thing, Steve fucking Bruce is the last fucker who's feelings I give the slightest shit about. This all day long!!

Ditto for me.

Which cunt keeps bumping this up the forum??

Apologies if it's been mentioned earlier but Gallowgate Shots have a cracking wee podcast with that Geordie dentist bloke explaining where the BeIn objections have come from. Didn't know that BeIn Sport used to be Aljazeera Sports and is owned by Qatar government and they're having massive ding-dong with Saudi Arabia plus shit scared they have competition in the region for showing games. Hee-haw to do with piracy etc. just pure looking after their own slice of the cake. Felt much more relaxed about it after listening to it.

Did someone somewhere not say yesterday that poch had had a 2hr phone meeting with new owners? Now he's willing to talk??

It's so fucking happening!!!!

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?
