Well, you never know when Ashley is involved. He is so fickle and can back out on any deal at any time. I think they have agreed a deal and everything is in place. But with Ashley that doesn't mean anything untill it's signed and official on the NUFC website.

Well none of that is part of the fit and proper process, so he’s fine. Well, whatever is part of it, I can't see him make it today! He’d pass every single test. Ok, I understand. But just for the record he is neither fit or proper in my book!?

If Ashley pulls the plug on this one can't we ask the Premier League to make a fit and proper test of Ashley then? He surley wouldn't make it, would he? I mean he never comunicates, he takes money out and never spend a penny of the clubs money. How could he be passed as fit and proper?

Good to have someone at the airport who can give us an update every now and then! Hang in there and keep up the good work man!?

Awfull Juve top!???

If Rafa stays it would be a real jackpot but getting rid of Ashley is the most important thing. There are many good managers out there but Ashley will never be a good owner.

That's a nice shirt. But looks more like a Man U away shirt to me. Like the oldschool nike logo!

As I understand it, it's all agreed but the "the Z-group" hasn't put an official bin in. I assume they first agree everything and than in the end they put a bid in and get accepted at once. In that case Ashley can just say no bid has been made instead of just say nowt or no coments.

Some changes I would like to see. Out: Hayden £15M (would like to keep but think he leaves) Shelvey £20M Gayle £15M Murphy £8M Atsu £8M Clark £5M And some players to leave for free or for a nominal fee such as Diame, Aarrons, Barreca, Elliott, Colback, Saivet, Joselu... In: Rondon £16M Wesley Moraes £16M Brooks £20M Benito Free Juan Mata Free We then need a right wing back and one or two central midfielders, not sure who thoose would be yet. Would like Donny van de Beek but don't know if it would be realistic (probably not). Maybe Tom Bayliss from Coventry as a squad player/one for the future. Also Barca and Real Madrid will have clearouts in the summer and maybe Rafa can lure one or two fringe players from them with his connections. Would also like to see a couple of young players get a chance to impress in the preseason games. Victor Fernandez, Elias Sorensen and Kelland Watts for example.

Just my thought aswell!?

James Rodriguez!

Wonder who is taking over Charnleys role? And wonder if we will have a director of football now? Interesting to see what the whole structure of the club will be after this.

Donny van de Beek David Neres Kylian Mbappe Jadon Sancho Nicolas Tagliafico To start with...??

Must have been Ashley he was talking to on the phone? Did you hear what he said??

Beating Lee Clark to get the job, so it seams.

That awaykit would be really nice!

Not sure if this is reliable, but sounds promising. http://www.insidefutbol.com/2019/05/21/claim-from-italy-rafael-benitez-and-newcastle-on-same-page-over-how-to-proceed/421067/

Ashley is only attending the meeting because there's free food to get! Don't think he's ever had a meeting without food(indian, pizza and now breakfast).

They (Rafa Ashley Charnley) met Monday apparently according to a friend who had a nephew at the club. I have an unkle, who has a cousin, whos wifes stepmothers son met a guy at a wedding who is Ashleys poolcleaners brother in laws grandfather who says there could've been a meeting or should be a meeting in the coming week(s). So there is or soon is a deal agreed or not agreed! How certain are they? Well, they're almost very certain that something might or might not happen, they think. So relax, we should hear someting about anything sometime, I guess.

Really gonna miss the kit we played in yesterday. Looks awesome!

Horrific. Lighten up ffs Haven't seen that before. Pure class!!!

On that list it's really only Rondon and Perez that we really want to keep. Maybe Ritchie and Woodman aswell. And Hayden of course, but fully understand his situation. But I agree, it's a big rebuild.

Soon we could order tacos and Corona at St James Park. ???
