There not that far behind Villa and Everton, and they finished higher up than City. These four will be the group outside the top four, just depends on who they sign and if Man City sack Hughes in time for a good manager to have a good affect.

The Journal actually says that the four groups trying to buy us have proved they have the 100 million pound to buy the club, but if our finances are a mess then they dont have the funds to bankroll us.

No great loss, average at best and was awful at Villa park.

This. Why has this "data room" not been opened earlier? Surely it would help the deal move quicker? Because they have set tomorrow as a deadline for interested parties to show they have the money.

David Bentley holding transfer talks with a Spanish club according to SSN.

Probably the most realistic, and a sense of absolute desperation.

Anyone know how long due diligence lasts?

SSN will be going on about Ronaldo for the next few hours so dont expect to much news from newcastle.

Wasnt it just to confirm the interest of that profitable group?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/8091814.stm Nothing really new although it says Newcastle haven't been contacted yet.

Unlikely to get any quotes from any interested parties early on as i think some sort of confidentiality document is signed.

Most likely a bigger story in the Chronicle this afternoon.

Pellegrini. Oh, has he got the job, didn't know. Aye, not that he will have any say in transfers.

Pellegrini.

Why break a habit of a lifetime.

Would this mean a sale is close though, because surely the longer he remains in charge without sorting anything out, the more it will cost him?

Maybe we are in talks with new owners who have told Ashley that they don't want Shearer as manager, this way Ashley looks like the bad guy, and the new owners can come in and appoint the man they want.

Take That- Patience.

Awesome strike force tho. But your right, I love Xavi and Iniesta, they are the main difference. Aye, Perez wants them looking like this in the final third. Villa Raul Ribery Alonso Kaka Ronaldo They still cant defend though and still dont come close to Messi, Xavi and Iniestsa. Still the Barcelona Vs MAdrid games should be worth a watch next season.

Real have agreed to sign Villa, according to Marca. They still wont get near Barcelona next season.

Joe Kinnear it is then.

If the new owner doesnt want Shearer, then they will tell Ashley to not give him the job. Will save a huge backlash from the fans.

Chelsea bid 43 million euros for David Villa according a spanish radio station Sky sports saying they also want Ashley Young.

Speaking of friendlies, we haven't even arranged any yet have we?

Dont hold your breath.
