SUPERTOON

Will be Hughton until Kinnear is fit enough to return. Oh good times ahead.

Did Craig actually say that he expects the announcement to be that Ashley will take the club of the market?

Isn't where they stand what they have told Craig then, and what Lambias said on the radio.

Btw, monday will probably come and go without any announcement.

Very good news.

Don't really no what to make of that tbh.

Says the same thing every time, he gets paid for doing absolutely nowt.

You got a link to any of their forums?

Nobody at all knows tbh. Just have to wait and see, maybe Lambias was telling the truth for the first time since coming to Newcastle, and that groups are close to signing contracts to take over.

Taylor expected to play according to the Chronicle, which would be great news.

Like any other player, it is up to Ashley if he stays or goes.

They still want Lescott.

He DID say we are there or thereabouts. Listen again It's been taken out of context though. In what sense? 'The Barry Moat situation; are they close?' 'We're in negotiations with Barry, and, you know, I'm not going to talk about the individuals that are there or thereabouts...' Like I said, it's slightly different to what the papers have said, which is that the Moat deal itself is 'there or thereabouts'. What he actually said could mean anything, basically. Your right just re-listened. The most positive bit is the part where he is talking about parties being 'more or less at signing stage' It would be positive, if it hadn't come from Lambias.

Mark Hughes has just said they still want Lescott.

Aye, but with Hughton it will be both.

We are not getting a new management team.

Just listened to the Lambias interview. Couldn't quite hear properly but did he really say that they are happy with what they have got in terms of our squad. And he didn't say we are there or thereabouts?

No Taylor or Barton. Our first defeat tomorrow.

Well it goes against what Lambias was saying, and he mentioned no such deadline either.

Sol Campbell is moving to your Dad's bosses house?

If Moat was going to complete a deal, then they wouldn't be entertaining any offers, particularly offers as ridiculous as the supposed Roberts one.

We will be struggling to put out a team at this rate.

Exactly, no one knows. Those quotes attributed to DL in the Sun along with the Sirous story are obviously bullshit. I fail to see how a deal that has been on the go for nearly 3 months will suddenly be done in the next 10 days. Well you would surely expect that if someone has been trying to takeover us for 3 months then they are pretty close now.
