It'll be Batshauyi on loan imho.

Indeed. A total and utter compliant yes man. Can't stand the guy.

Wonder if it will push out some of their promising younger British players. Abraham will be 2nd choice at best, Tomori hasn't played much, and even Mount might struggle to hold down a place consistently I'd love a player like Mount at NUFC, same with Loftus-Cheek too. We wanted him under Rafa from memory.

Double Meh.

I can think of one number 9 he'll have no problem keeping up with :lol: .

Cunt. Utter cunt.

I do. Regarding this failed bid or back with a new one? Both potentially.

I do.

Agreed. Bloke is a cunt but the minute we resort to that we lose the PR battle and any wider sympathy is lost. That address should NOT come out into the public domain.

I'd be over the moon if that happened Agreed.

I don't think PIF will be hanging around that long personally. Staveley probably would but not the Saudis.

Sounds ideal for BruceBall.

Pretty sure it’s a Mackem that runs that twitter account It's Dave[/member] surely? No chance. He is anti KSA involvement in the takeover. Money Mike is completely pro.

Would have to think NUFC is on the agenda tbh.

Pl's partners are getting battered on social media and on review sites such as Trustpilot etc :lol: . The Money Mike Account coordinating it brilliantly. Whoever is behind that account is a total legend.

Joke isn't it? :lol: . Bruceosaurus will be tearing his hair out now because he already knows most of us don't rate him. He'll know he's in for a season of hell next year without a takeover.

From that full statement it looked like he was sitting on the fence tbh and supporting both sides. probably can't say much more publicly in case of being accused of government interference in football which brings down fifa like a ton of bricks The KSA relationship is gonna be huge in a post-Brexit world for BJ. I'm amazed he hasn't had it forced through to be quite honest.

So true and typical of our luck. Could fall in a barrel of tits and come up sucking our thumbs.

From that full statement it looked like he was sitting on the fence tbh and supporting both sides. Agree. I think too many folks are jumping on the 'now we've got Boris on side' rhetoric when his response indicates nothing of the sort imho. I mean, yeah, great for the profile of our case etc, sure but actual support? Nope.

For now, and completely as far as PIF involvement. Staveley and the Ruebens could do this totally on their own if they actually wanted to. Suspect there'll be another attempt if she gets her payout from the Barclays case. I think there's a strong chance she'll lose that and disappear.

That would be one way but, from what I've read, that would require the process to start again. With Ashley. With the PL. Also, I always believed that the Reubens were only really present for the real estate angle and didn't foresee bunging in much of the running costs. 10% is a drop in the ocean. Realistically, the club needs way over £600m to purchase it, fund it and then develop the infrastructure. Arguably, closer to a billion. Would they wanna drop 1/18 of their wealth on a football club? I can't see it.

Good.

Do you think? To me it seems impossible that the buyer has publicly withdrawn and can find a way back in. Just the loss of face from the PL would be huge now. That was my view. I do wonder whether the buyers are considering/have suggested they are considering some sort of legal blitz on the PL for overstepping their boundaries/the criteria of the test. That might make the PL sit up and come to the table with some greater 'flexibility' if, as someone posted a short while ago, they only have revenues of £3m and assets of £0.5m. In theory, a piece of piss to financially outmuscle them. The Saudi's could get them to run up a £3m legal bill in no time at all just for shits and giggles.

Great to see such optimism. I'm amazed we're looking at almost 40% of voters thinking this can still happen. Bloody hope you're all right.

It's more a feel for where people's heads are at Kaiz, not looking at placing a bet requiring certainty.
