It will end well, so many people do not expect it to end well (I am surrounded by them in the real world and on here) but it will be fantastic when it happens. In some ways you negative guys will have a better time than me, because all that will happen to me is "the inevitable", but those who are currently certain that we are 'doomed' will have such a great time, such a great shock, in addition to the eventual shared good times!

Nothing is certain in this life, but I would expect that our new owners would not think of it as much of a 'gamble' really. It's not just that under Ashley, twice already, that is all that it has been (one season) it is more that they are unlikely to lose any of our best players this time (because of the plans that would be in place that the players would be buying into) and there would also be quality acquisitions. So, not too much of a gamble. Also, I know things look bad at present, but we are only three games in, far too early to seriously be contemplating relegation. Though the next few games look . . er . . difficult !!!

Yes, no one is sure what the sale price of the club would be if we do go down. It could well be less than currently agreed, but how much less for one season in the 2nd Division (which is all it probably would be under the Consortium) no one knows. Certainly, as a very long term investment, it is unlikely to alter the price greatly because both parties (buyer and seller) have shown a massive amount of determination (two legal actions pending, for example) to get this deal over the line.

Hopefully this will not become an insult-fest from you. There is no logic whatsoever behind that statement, though I often hear and read it. If they want to buy NUFC (and the consortium does) they would much rather buy us in the EPL, and that is probably where we will 'just' be !! However, they are planning to make a very long-term investment in this City and this Football Club so one extra seasons effort is going to make absolutely no difference to their planning or intentions whatsoever.

As I understand it, PIF are part of a Consortium that has been put together to buy Newcastle United, and those I know from Saudi have a great pride in their perceived behaviour, which is why I mentioned it. As for the "Aston Martin and Fiat Punto" analogy, well I cannot see that a season in the 2nd Division would make any difference at all to their ambitions for NUFC and the wider City of Newcastle.

I think they have far too much pride (in themselves) to do that.

Yes, a combined Statement of Intent would be great.

Can we start getting this thread back on-topic please?

The green-eyed monster surfaces again !!!

Ha ha, I am told that I have a strong resemblance to Daniel Craig, though I would say that I look a bit 'younger' than he does. I also seem to suffer from the same difficuly as him, of being extremely attractive to women. It's a hard life, and I am an NUFC Supporter also !! (And I have to put up with a lot of ridiculous personal comments on here, how do I cope?)

An interesting perspective, but somewhat slightly (very) one-sided !!!

I said . . . "Yes, but those are the current timescales that I listed, so in the interim it is not worth saying "there is no news" because those timescales are the very latest news !!" What is not factual about that statement? That statement is what we were talking about. Now, you have just written a load of opinions (above) as if they were facts . . . or did you miss that (of course you did). Finally, in my opinion, you talk absolute rubbish, everything you have said (above) is pretty much the opposite of the truth. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Give over what, may I ask? I state the facts !!

Yes, but those are the current timescales that I listed, so in the interim it is not worth saying "there is no news" because those timescales are the very latest news !!

We are getting exactly the right amount of news that we would expect. We have two legal cases underway. Arbitration will proceed from early 2022 (not long away in the grand scheme of things) and the CAT case will start to develop in only 34 days time. NEWS is expected at those dates.

We're gonna get them people, we are gonna get them. Then, our combined good times (new club and existing supporters) will begin . . and 'boy' we will have earned it the hard way by then!!

I don't normally respond to crap like that, but I will this time. All you have to do is . . . . W * * T Then you will ALL be in my camp, and I couldn't care less, I will not be saying "I told you so", all I want is what I know NUFC deserves . . the best. In the meantime, try to curb the 'extreme' one line responses, please.

The exact opposite of that is the case. The Premier League are absolutely determined not to let the Saudi takeover of NUFC happen - but they CANNOT do so. Isn't it obvious? Why are they doing everything they can to delay matters? That is ALL they are doing . . delay, delay, delay. Why? Because they have lost, and they KNOW that they have lost, so they are hoping for a miracle. Delay, delay, delay, until the PIF walk away, that is their desired miracle. That will not happen, as PIF (and the Reubens and Staveley) are not stupid. The Premier League are dead in the water, they know they are, they just haven't summoned up the courage to admit it yet, even to their own stupid selves.

Completely correct . . "We are Newcastle United", we are the club that represents a great and increasingly prosperous City which represents (as Regional Capital) the enire North East Region . . . we HAVE to be successful and we WILL BE successful. It is how I have always been, it is what I have always said (about our great City) and NOW (from a football club perspective) we have wealthy and talented people who totally get this, who totally agree with this. Amanda Staveley, the Saudi PIF, the Reuben Brothers - they ALL know this as I always have, which is why the exact and precise opposite of what you ('GWN') have written - is true. It is why we - of course - will win.

The Premier League will never WANT to let this happen, that is obvious. That is what our Legal Teams are up against. My judgement remains that the Premier League will NOT however get what they want. WE WILL !!!

It is not long until September, so it is getting closer, not further away!

Thanks, good comments. We will all be there together . . . ALL of us !!

Yes, we are ALL supporters who love NUFC. At least the NUFC in our heads and in our hearts, but NOT the pointless 'thing' that is there at the moment As I'm sure you know, I am certain that we will get our NUFC back soon (better than ever - re born) I'm just not sure how soon exactly !!

I often ask that.
