Nice job on the reputational protection there David.

There's more:

Seems like David Bick is a bit of a dick...

There was nothing to engage with, you gave a view about making a binary choice over something that isn't binary and then said you wouldn't substantiate that view.

Can't we just support both?

I think we've had that already, Staveley spent most of her first day doing interviews, I don't think there'll be a press conference for the owners it would just dissolve into questions about Saudi human rights abuses at the moment.

We have a decent team now, this is a better squad than Rafa had, a good manager could mould the squad we have into a good top half team.

I think the main difference is that PIF don't own Disney, Uber, Facebook etc. they own shares in those companies at a minority level. I'm all for denouncing the Saudi regime for evil murderous cunts they are but, in terms of whatboutary arguments, surely it should start with pointing out our government's cosy relationship with the Saudis and why these people are not first calling for our government (that Karren Brady is part of) to cut its ties with the Saudis and stop approving the sale of billions of pounds worth of arms to them. I can't see the government business ambassador Karren Brady calling on BAE Systems to not take that investment or criticising them for doing so. The only reason people like her are saying anything about our takeover is because it affects their interests.

Nothing short of PIF using their vast wealth to bring back the Ramones from the grave will be good enough for me.

The same goes for every other club owner's wealth, that's all investments, assets and wallpaper. None of them are going to spunk every penny on their football club, so it is a relevant comparitive measure. Although, I agree that the actual figure is so far beyond the wealth of any other owner that it's irrelevant whether it's 300 billion or 700 billion.

Even when the news broke and suddenly every journalist knew what was happening, he still managed to add something (about the makeup of the board being different) that has turned out to be completely wrong:

I don't think the penny dropped until Keegan walked. Even though the writing was on the wall before that I think most gave him the benefit of the doubt.

The issues is that Leazes Park is listed. Whilst harm of complete loss of listed sites can be justified by public benefits I think it's unlikely it would be. Something similar to the 90s Castle Leazes proposal would be much more lightly to be acceptable, because it would dramatically improve the setting of Leazes Terrace and wouldn't significantly affect the park.

We can't rebuild on the same site, where would we play for 1-2 seasons? Castle Leazes has to be the first priority option.

I was only 6 when he left and not interested in football then, I clearly remember the buzz around him playing for Newcastle and his last match... Although part of that is that I'd gone to a nursery run by a Mrs Keegan and thought she was his mam

That day I was in an English lesson at school, the deputy head barged into the classroom and said "guess who is the new manager of Newcastle... Kevin Keegan!" and then ran off to the next classroom His third coming was pretty close too, although marred in hindsight.

Remember when Man City won the title by Man United losing a match, in 2017/18, and there were just a handful of supporters gathered at the Etihad after. Edit: found video...

Anxiety really starting to creep in. I wish it could have just been announced out of the blue rather than this 'imminent' shite again.

Yeah, Fantail Linton in particular can fuck the fuck right off now.

I was one of the few (rational) positive voices on here in the very darkest days, confident that something was being worked out behind the scenes even when pretty much everyone was convinced the takeover was dead, but I just can't bring myself to get excited, yet.
