I so if it's: "top brand name St James Park" and compete for the league every year. Or Stay as we are under Mike Ashley. Is there really a significant chunk of us would prefer Mike Ashley?

Etihad was ten years old, so hardly brand new. But your point stands regarding the lack of history.

Unacceptable. If they put the sort of money in that Etihad have, and it's a blue chip company I'm ok with it. If that's the price of success I can live with it.

It's been in the back of my mind since the beginning. You don't do NDAs and DD if you're really after another club the only way this won't happen if Ashley plays a c*** and the club price value will rocket down if he does with not a hope in hell of ever getting his money back again. Add to that Benitez walking in the summer and fans revolt it will be a very dangerous game to play. You're bang on there, it's just paranoia on my part.

In what sense mate The whole not sure if we're allowed / never seen before in the UK. Sounds really exciting.

All correct! I’ve had several messages off him today and I’m already calling the fine lady we were talking about ‘Queen Amanda’! I don’t want to tempt fate and you never know with the fat w***** in charge but I think we are in for a rather splendid January! Yeeeeeessss!!! That's what I've been wanting for the last couple of days. Couldn't give a monkeys if it's nothing concrete it just refreshes the daydream.

I'm well intrigued about this new approach thingy.

I want the man city treatment. I can't believe I feel that way, I feel dirty, but I do. We've suffered too long, let's just start winning trophies.

No. I fail to see what's funny?

Anyone watching Aberdeen v Celtic? Chris Sutton is mugging the other co commentator (Stephen Robinson maybe?) right off.

Well just stroll in here and be the voice of reason why don't you. ?

Ah yeah, sounds spot on. Agree with figures 100% too, what you lads are doing is phenomenal.

To the tune of?

For fucks sake, somebody start a rumour at least!

If the ref thinks you've intentionally played a 1-2 off him I'm sure he'd award a free kick against you for unsportsmanlike conduct. Or something similar.

If the Arabs buy us we'll have enough dough to rebuild bionic Bryan Robson.

Ok we're getting into dangerous territory here. I mean it was fun at first to day dream of a Man City type takeover. But it was like when you by a euromillions ticket, you know it's not gonna happen. Here we are though and some of yous are planning dream teams, new stadiums and Christ knows what else. When this goes tits up were gonna need the Samaritans on hand.

Both managers sent off at Hampden.

Although i thought my shoot some grouse / ride my spouse song was a real goer, I'm also starting to get creeped out by this thread. Unfortunately I think we're very much in the minority, this board is capable of much more. It's Friday too so there could easy be pissed up creepiness tonight.

Fuck it, I know it's risky but i'm committing to it. I believe! So come January who will be our "Robinho"?

Re due diligence. They won't have agreed a price but to start due diligence I'd say they'll have discussed the price and both sides would be thinking ok we're not a million miles apart and confident a deal can be done.

I have an erection, not even joking.

He obviously thinks his views are correct.

Sports Direct is the stumbling block, I can't see Ashley selling something so important to Sports Direct.
