Elephant

No, it’s not. Annoyed that PL / PIF can’t announce it, and end this speculation (and hope)

I thought we already were done with this Mauriss s**t, but guess they still let Luke Edwards write this bollocks.

Absolutely nothing that has happened within last week looks promising. Ashley era will continue, seems to be clear now.

I’m honestly surprised that PL had nothing to say about BeIN ban in Saudi Arabia.

The only way I can see this Saudis reaction is that takeover has been declined and this is their retaliation. Expected to hear the decision very soon (finally).

It's baffling how quiet it is now. No more rumours, no more media interest, nothing. It feels like nothing is happening. Regarding summer transfers it's urgent to seal the takeover, but it seems there's just no effort from PL to seal this quickly.

Yet another week with absolutely no answers. Soon PL bosses will head out to summer holidays (or maybe have already after this weeks meeting) and we will still be asking same questions late-August. Lovely.

It’s Thurs.. Friday now, so yet another week in agony

I’m predicting early-September

It’s Thursday mate ??

It's Wednesday now, so will we see another week with no decision. This is so laughable, that I just see this dragging on forever.

This just gets worse

The whole takeover is complete joke. We were so close being a big force in football to being (again) joke of the country

https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/newcastle-takeover-saudi-arabia-mike-ashley-bin-salman-khashoggi-hatice-cengiz-a9550131.html Not exactly good news.. So much hope and nothing has happened.

I would love to get some official comments from PL and Saudis about this. I absolutely hate this silence, because this should be done by now.

Why can't we appoint someone that would actually excite? Just for once in every.. 20 years or so. Getting someone who just got sacked from Championship club is something that you can only expect from Newcastle in Premier League.

Di Matteo was always going to get sacked at the end of the season. Schalke was awful and poorly organised this season. Di Matteo also had lots of problems with players during the season. Few good results might fool someone, but I wouldn't go for him.

They played like Brazil today.

Have to quote my previous post about this situation. Speculation is that the reason Tuchel's deal with HSV didn't go through was because Dortmund got involved. Rumours say that it's 4-year-deal with Dortmund.

Interesting that Tuchel agreed already for HSV, with Dortmund being a real option in the summer. But if he is holding for Bayern Munchen, then Dortmund is not an option. Can see Klopp switching to England next summer with Liverpool and Manchester City as potential clubs. And it wouldn't be bad for Dortmund at this point, as it seems that Klopp can't change it around at the moment for them.

Tuchel actually biggest favourite for next Bayern München manager. But some still think that he is not good enough for us.

Tuchel would be my first choice and he is the manager I would be extremely excited about.

Tuchel would be my first choice, but Garde also seems like excellent option. And it is good that we take time to appoint the right man this time and not end up with likes of Souness, Pardew or Kinnear.

The fact that we got rid of this guy - and even got payed for it - is just beyond me.

What the hell is happening? I was few days off and something like this happens. Better be away just for few days more.
