July the 4th, so they can't be blamed for people gathering at SJP. Is that something to do with the USA ??

It is very good news, the longer the better. It means back-and-forth negotiations are going on. The quality of our three new owners is such that I can only imagine a positive outcome from such negotiations.

I hate this 'good things don't happen to us' line, sounds like permanent victim mentality mode....but the thing is, in this case it feels valid. Ever since it became clear that this wasn't going to pass without a hitch, it just seems impossible to imagine us as being the richest club in the world. Nah. Nee way, fuck that, it's not happening. The GOOD thing about how long this has taken is that it obviously means both parties are seeking a way to meet the terms and approve the Takeover. The longer it has gone on - the better. If it was going to be NO (which it never could be as the club is sold already) then it would have been a pretty QUICK result !!

Can't find anything recent in FORBES, online. Then tried FORBES MiddleEast.com (a separate entity) and they have nothing recent either, just this one from back in MAY . . . https://www.forbesmiddleeast.com/money/investing/saudi-bid-for-newcastle-united-approved

Never quite been able to think of us as a "little football club", but I get the point you are making!

And common sense!

There's the optimism we've been lacking around here. Well, I have repeatedly shown optimism. In fact not optimism . . certainty !!

Another article by the 'Flat Earth Society'. Where do they find the time? They really should get a life.

Don’t encourage him. His SJP posts on SSC are twice as long as a prologue post from HTT. Ha ha, thanks Mr Stifleaay (who I know so well from SkyscraperCity . . ) just for that I will break the record when the stadium changes come along, just wait! and, Kanji - it will be a good-un - hopefully MANY good-uns !!!

Well - simply - it just cannot "keep on" coming to nothing. The inevitable great news is now VERY close at hand . . . I love you and choppy's optimism. I hope you have a right good old drink when this deal is rubberstamped. Oh YESSSS !!! This whole period of the 'Premier League F&P Tests' - this oh so long, long, long period - can ONLY be what it is ("long") because of negotiations going on 'back and forth'. Can you imagine any group of people as capable (and very successful) as we know that Staveley/Reubens/PIF all are, not coming out successfully at the end of this long period? Obviously they will do "everything they need to" (during the long negotiations) to secure their prized objective . . . OUR NUFC. Then . . . just 'imagine' again . . . what is it going to be like?? None of us, even during the Bobby Robson and Kevin Keegan recent eras, will have EVER experienced the potential that is about to be unleashed. Nuclear bombs are a BAD thing, but that is the only fully descriptive analogy I can think of . . . it will be like a NUCLEAR EXPLOSION (without the damage).

Well - simply - it just cannot "keep on" coming to nothing. The inevitable great news is now VERY close at hand . . .

Yes it certainly is, it always was going to be approved, always . . . but NOW it is very close indeed !!!

The huge numbers of "mis-quotes" and "misunderstandings" on here (often quoted "as if they are FACTS") is quite incredible. I thought the Takeover would be approved, because of the WTO Report as evidence, the "day after" it was published. I obviously got the time-scale wrong, but the facts still speak for themselves, and the inevitable approval should be given very, very soon now. Happy DAZE imminently ahead people, VERY happy indeed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No matter how much rubbish this is, and others of a similar nature (YES, including some of mine!) but I still enjoy reading them. They instantly excite me and fill me with a sense of great anticipation. Then, it starts to ebb away, as I 'realise' (yet) again . . . . . .

That is very surprising!

Are you frustrated bud? Thought you said it would get announced today? Are you not annoyed (or 'frustrated' to use your word) by these easily invented lies? Are you? Still plenty of "today" left . . or mebbe tomorrow, ha ha . . . "imminent"

The whole pathetic invented "American Bid" is FAKE, FAKE, FAKE. Amanda & Co are OUR owners now, that is how it has felt like for months now . . let's get on with it.

Thankyou !!! C A L M . . . everyone. Well, if my frequent statements on the 'other thread' are to prove correct, then today should be "the day". As I see it, there is now no LOGICAL reason for the Premier League to withhold approval any longer. TODAY IS APPROVAL DAY !!!

If you have seen my previous posts over the last week or so, I have simply said that the Premier League need the evidence of the "published" WTO Report, for everyone to see, to support their decision to approve (what the Media have drummed up to be) this controversial (their words) takeover. I have seen nothing to change my view on this. It is just plain, simple LOGIC . . I have no inside information. How will it support their decision to approve the takeover if it unquestionably incriminates KSA? You make no sense. I'm sure we have discussed this before, but even if it does - for certain? - specifically accuse KSA, it will also be used by the Premier League to explain their approval is because KSA and PIF are N O T the same thing. Also, they will probably be able to say (after all this time they have been negotiating back and forth, back and forth with PIF) that PIF have responded to them and are ensuring that KSA will not infringe again, and may even (if they have infringed?) make some kind of 'reparations'. There are a number of assumptions in there, but it is all so very LOGICAL . . step-by-step, and it fits because (as we know) the PLs desired end product is the money and expansion of the influence of the PL, by APPROVING the takeover. Always keep that in mind . . THAT is their (the EPLs) desired end product. That is why the WTO Report will enable the PL to approve the Takeover . . and explain why !! That is my view, very strongly.

A beautiful snapshot of this thread Yes indeed!! Some overreactions to 'fake news' on here (he trumped!) But seriously, the successful takeover WILL be announced soon now! What drink you got in to celebrate? Glenmorangie
