Make sure it says - OFFICIAL: NEWCASTLE UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB SOLD FOR £300M and not OFFICIAL: MIKE ASHLEY.......fill in the blanks yourseleves

Probably the exact same thing the real Steve Bruce would be saying

f***ing Ryder is such a gimp. Has no clue. How is he still even a journalist in 2020?

It was nonsense to suggest no price has been agreed. The PL would be wasting time on countless ocassions if that was the case. They review everything, give the green light yet the seller and buyer can't come to a price agreement. Makes no sense. Plus, fat Mike pulls out everytime after checks completed.

Yes. I remember before this popped up, the talk was if a price was not agreed, they can't do the test. Yet now, they are doing the test, people say no price has been agreed. Like what the....

Isn't there another thread about success at what cost? I've come in here hoping for an update about this saga and seen a lot of pages added yet its arguments galore. Thought we had the other thread for this?

Feels much better in this thread. Everyone's going crazy in the official takeover thread.

Well it might be a good thing this Martin Samuel piece came out. Atleast it might force one of the parties involved to come out and say something. Might.

For the Rafa haters, if the owners choose someone different and we run into a bad patch of form, would the haters be asking for Rafa back I wonder?

Next Friday is Ramadhan for Muslims. A whole month until around 24-25May. Then its the Eid celebration. Could last a further week. Think this will be done and confirmed early next week and not beyond Friday. Atleast a statement on the sale or something.

No doubt these buyers know exactly that part of what makes the club and the city unique is having the stadium dead central in the city. That surely was one of the attractive points that would have enticed them. If we already had a stadium outside the city, there is no way the club would maintain its history, uniqueness and a level of attractiveness to potential buyers. I trust these people know what they want to do with the stadium and the city. They'll probably hire the best engineers and architects to increase the stadium capacity and modernise it yet keep it in the same place. They've probably have earmarked what and how they'll go about the stadiums redevelopment to compete with the rest. Look how Spurs did theirs. Its not impossible.

PR = Us watching the f***ing matches. f*** off. Have been so livid with the Big Fat Failure Sam comments from this morning all day. Absolute scum along with the likes of Keys. f***ing chewing gum living dinosour.

Just ask the Saudis to double the price and buy it back from the developers.

Yeah I read that earlier. They know something we don't? Most likely because Puma or the club never mentioned the 1 year extension officially.

With Rafa, we won't need a lot of time and resource to plan this and that from scratch. He had it done already from top to bottom when he was here. It was Ashley who wouldn't go with it. Yes maybe people want a fresh face but I would want someone who can see things outside of just the team on the pitch. A manager with a plan and vision for the cloob and city. Rafa just breathes football and he'll start working the moment he signs up for the job.

I could not get into N-O for at least 12 hours today

What?

This is officially the Twitter Takeover bullshit thread. The other takeover thread can be the official takeover and deepthinkers thread.

Which manager hasn't made bad signings? Sir Alex Ferguson signed loads of dross I've always thought Keegan's transfer record to be outstanding, at least at Newcastle. Who were his worst signings? Mathie? Hottiger? Hooper? Mathie and Hottiger were fine. Jason Drysdale maybe. His first spell doesn’t really have any massive flops as such. Mark Robinson joined and then was injured so much he had to retire so maybe him. KK’s transfer dealings for NUFC were outstanding. Would still love to know his NET spend as I think many people will be surprised to find out he didn’t spend that much in the end. That summer went he got Barton, Hislop, Ginola and Sir Les. That was so exciting.

There's only one other

Plane watch continuing
