This ain't happening anytime soon

Will he even take it ?

Yep think it will add to the numbers

We wouldn’t be selling our best players if we where close to being taken over

So Rafa, Rondon, Perez and probably Longstaff going or gone ?? I mean it’s like the club has just well and truly given up.

Just catching up myself but it appears Bin Zayed Group have set up a UK holding company similar to "St James' Holdings Ltd" under the name "Monochrome Acquisitions Ltd". Both the name of it and that this is a common step in acquiring a football club are both promising signs. Thanks

A new company has been set up on Companies House with two directors: our Sheikhy guys. Interestingly it's registered to Ashley's preferred law firm. Even more interestingly, the company is entitled 'Monochrome Acquisitions Ltd'. Thanks

Been at work all day anyone sum up what’s going on please?

Sounds like they are in it together, probably mates who Ashley has got to do him a favour until January is finished.

You can tell by Rafa’s comments and general body language that there is no takeover.

Ashley lying to stop the boycott would surely create a bigger one when it comes out they it was all a lie again

Pards back? Will be soon.

Would anyone actually care anymore, don’t think it’s possible to be any more detached from the club right now.

Shame it’s away to Man City.

Absolutely no atmosphere

Massively unprofessional from a club captain considering the state we are already in.

They were all awful, however there is zero,point in having Joselu on the pitch, any other player would be a better option up front.

Think Joselu is guaranteed to keep his place tbh especially after Rafa praised him yesterday.

Compare that to last year and the first game and it is massively encouraging, thought we looked a bit all over at the back, hopefully we sort that for next week and beyond.

Think welbeck is in last year of his contract, probably why were linked.

We aren’t signing anyone that’s not on loan so can rule out any players linked from other English clubs.

Being linked with boro as a possible replacement for Traore who is close to signing for wolves.

Decent Linked with Brighton as well

Perfect time for this to happen, will speed a decision up either way and if he stays we know he has the assurances he wants, if he leaves we can all get on with hating the club.

Fixtures towards the end of the season are almost impossible to pick, it’s likely that most of the big clubs won’t have much to play for in the league by then, and a couple could be resting players for cup games.
