The ones I spoke to said that he was a very good Championship Manager with a proven record of getting clubs promoted. Couldn't argue with their logic.

Could someone be using this Bin Zayed group to hide the real dealmakers, so it appears there is no conflict of interest by the Al Nahyan family? Just far enough removed to look good, for the authorities. An interesting point I saw someone make online.

I hope this is a case of darkest before the dawn. I've already jacked my season ticket in, rarely watch any football (especially Newcastle). Until we have a new owner my love of the game in general is being eroded, possibly beyond redemption. That's with Rafa in charge!

£772 in the East Stand about a £100 increase on last year. Sad to say it but I think Im out. If Rafa signs on for the long haul I'll reconsider.

There used to be a "Cock of the North" pub, just south of Nevilles Cross in Durham. Its a housing estate now.

Two penneth alert; Rafa doesn't know his budget as the takeover is imminent. Within the week, probably. The deal needs it's I and t' s sorted then he "will be able to act" as soon as he's given the nod. That's why we have bi-polar reports of our targets. He's relaxed in presser because everything is in place.

Would love Sakho here.

Looked to me like Firmino says "loco, loco puta"

Unfortunately we will see next week what a world class manager with fantasy money does against our world class manager working with fat Mike.

Massive Xmas present that!

Valued by whom? Man Utd's main shirt sponsorship is £50m a year for the most exposure on the world's most visible team. A few ground boards for a struggling / Championship team is worth half of that? Do people really think a bunch of flashing ground boards at SJP has been pivotal to the growth of SDI? Come off it. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/mike-ashley-admits-newcastle-deals-4197471.amp

I pity the poor bastard Mike decides to buy next, unless it's the great unwashed down the road.

20mil striker would be like a diamond in a goats arse the way we are playing ATM.

The club had confirmed the bid a few pages back. Did they then decide to say it wasn't £300mil 20mins later?

Wonder if it's the club that's leaked this then, to try and smoke out anyone else interested? That s*** paper was right?!?! f***ing hell, it was! Has the takeover been confirmed like? Appalling language, that. Have you got a problem with people enjoying positive news? Can you please take your misery to another thread? Are you Mag in Peace?

Girl = Amanda Boy = Michael or Ashley 'Bimps' after it's Dad ?[emoji108]

Girl = Amanda Boy = Michael or Ashley [emoji23] There's no way I'm naming him after that fat cernt Ashley!

Wouldn't be surprised if my lass had a bairn in exactly 9months time!

Can't stand Coleman, perfect fit.

Sakho's terrible on the ball Agreed, he was very lucky not to get caught quite a few times.

I can't see her. I'm next to the roleplaying section though.

Common sense prevails. That's a great name!

Always feel setbacks like he's had today make players dig deeper and earlier for a new team. To prove themselves worthy. Hope so anyway.
