This is our chance to get back at WBS's 5-0 win against the Smogs and do our Goal Difference a world of good not to mention our confidence.

Surprised Keegan wasn't in attendance. Although they may have had some misunderstanding the way KK was dropped from SBR's first England squad, surely all that would have been buried in the past. All other living England Managers except Keegan turned up. Strange

Hopefully he can work up a partnership with Loverboy. Flick ons + intelligence + pace + accurate shooting = GOALS

Press stirring up s**t again. Of course he was holding out for a better offer. But all is forgiven. Any news on term of contract?

compensation? What if the new owners appoint KK for a 3rd time and saves 8million quid as they will not need to pay him the compensation. Win Win for both

Initially I thought the strong support would go against us as it makes Ashley have 2nd thoughts about selling. but looks like others may have been attracted too and this is definitely exciting All summer there were fears that fans would stay away, making us an even bigger loss-making machine. Even with all this going on and no investment, we've shown that 40,000+ crowds are pretty much a given for 21 more home games. If a takeover happens that will only increase.

If only the Yanks had come in earlier. Wondering why they left it to this late if they were serious. Makes them sound more promising than Moat's offer as they have more dosh and a proper business plan

Yup. This is dangerous. It gives Ashley the hope that we will walk this elague without having to spend money and by waiting, he may even recoup his money

2 up and the Shola the Goal Machine hasn't got his share yet

Did Shearer remember to attach his nice passport photo on the CV?

Hughton said in the post match interview that Guthrie will be ready by this Wed & Butt by Sat

Can't find the interview anywhere. What did Daveed say?

Which player will want to be signed by a lame duck temporary coach? The only ones we can pick up are loans and out of contract players.

Clutching at straws here but could it be a case of Shearer returning next week and Barton has been told in no uncertain terms that AS still holds it against him so he stormed out of training

Give Thomo a break. Think he said he has shared all that he knows. I'm sure he will keep us posted now that he has started

If its a consortium, does this really matter? They can just pick one within the consortium with least scandals or prison offenses

Thanks for sharing the news, Thomo. No one here knows any better and we certaintly hope this is finally happening. Not to bothered if its DIC, IDC, CID or ABC as long as they have some long term plans and the dosh to back it up without interfering with the footie side of things too much

We are a sad lot . The slightest rumour and we get all excited. Hope Thomo is right as we can only take so much mucking around by MA. if the sale finally happens, let's look at this as a sign of blessing from Sir Bobby from above and with the feeling of goodwill generated by his passing, the new owners and manager will start off on the crest of a wave....

Movement of players out of club may be another sign something is imminent. All through the earlier rumours, no one was allowed to leave on loan, let alone being sold. May not be money bags Arabs taking over since they can easily afford Oba's wages unless this has been sanctioned by new manager in waiting.

Slightly off topic here....has Keegan been interviewed re Sir Bobby's passing?

We all wanted Shearer to learn his trade in the lower leagues and prove himself before taking on Newcastle in the Premiership. Well, circumstances have come together now and we can kill the two proverbial birds with one stone now. Shearer to prove to his doubters in the Championship and lead us back to the Premiership
