https://theathletic.co.uk/2268674/2020/12/18/newcastle-tv-deal-takeover/ Those on the buying side remain adamant that nothing has materially changed with the new TV deal. Ashley and Newcastle, through arbitration, are contesting the Premier League’s Owners’ and Directors’ Test, which failed to approve the prospective takeover. While the club has confirmed that it “has issued arbitration proceedings against the EPL”, it has not revealed what form this legal action will take, insisting they will not comment on its “substance”. However, what is clear is that it is part of their attempts to force through the takeover, or at the very least seek further answers or extract some form of compensation from the Premier League. The Athletic understands the Saudis remain determined to buy Newcastle, despite having officially withdrawn the bid in July, but they will only retable their offer if a pathway towards approval is unveiled. Newcastle had hoped for positive progress in September following political pressure and government involvement. Since then, Ashley has hired Nick de Marco and Shaheed Fatima, both QCs, to lead his case in his and the club’s dispute with the Premier League. When the arbitration process will be concluded, and what the outcome will be, remain frustratingly unclear, though. Newcastle Consortium Supporters Ltd (NCSL) — a group of fans who have launched legal action of their own — are also keeping the pressure on the Premier League.

Two crackers today! A very under-rated Pedro goal - first touch is amazing! And the end of the London jinx and the start of two magic aways in five days!

Eh?! Crossley was unreal that day?!

Beat me to it! Some of our fans are off their heads for even thinking of comparing Rafa with this clueless clown never mind posting about it on social media! That was in relation to my comments on his style that I stated above were still a gamble in the Championship imo. We were often very frustrating at home against teams we should have easily beaten, which would have made promotion easier. I wasn’t comparing his style to Bruce myself. If people are saying there’s not much between them, then they’re probably not smart enough to understand or just wilfully ignorant. As I said most people don’t rate Bruce now and that guy on Facebook got destroyed in the comments. Aha - my comment wasn't aimed at you pal - it was at the ones on twitter who seem to think Bruce is a better manager!

Yep - you called it from day one pal! It's mad to think he had you mid-table with Grealish, Abraham, Mcginn and Mings to name four after spending a fortune the previous season! He's absolutely dog shit and that is harsh on dog shit!

He looked a cracking player under Rafa - lots of Michael Carrick comparisons. He's a good player and will prove it albeit possibly not under this utter clown!

Leeds, Leicester, Arsenal 8/1 Betfair boost

Notts County 96-97 - took over in January! True. I meant finally relegated from the Premier League, when everyone knows who he is. With this inflated Big Sam ego and firefighter reputation. Totally agree pal - hopefully he spends loads in January and takes them down!

Notts County 96-97 - took over in January!

Yeah - he was class playing behind Shearer pre-season then was moved up top! I wonder how his time would have panned out if he had of scored that one on one 30 seconds into his debut after Tino's delightful back-heel?!

Please go down to shut his fat smug head up!

I was just going to post this - first time I've been gutted about missing a match since fans couldn't attend as they're always a spicy affair against these lot!

It's going to be a billion times worse from 7.30pm next Tuesday (well, maybe 8pm if we need pens again!)!

Wank night!

Wimbledon 4/1

Boost on - Man City, Watford, Bournemouth - 9/2 Chelsea, Villa, Leicester, Liverpool, Man Utd - 18/1 Any bets on the Arraz Worlds? Some very good odds! I've got £30 on Price - 6/1!
