  1. Agreed I think going from potentially having it all to having absolutely nothing at all would be a bit too much for me. I only post on here during takeover rumours because that hope is the only thing that keeps me connected to the club. I keep an eye on results and occasionally watch us on MOTD(If I can stay awake long enough) but I'm personally putting so much into the fact this particular takeover would potential put us into the absolute top tier of clubs for the rest of our history and losing that, would be f***ing hard to swallow. That's not the mention the impact it could have on the region and the people of the NE in general. That's not to say I'm blind to the obvious issue with the takeover, but from purely a footballing and economical viewpoint this is all or nothing for me. Nailed it. Up until the last days I’ve been on cloud 9, I know things still look good but the uncertainty has knocked me. Newcastle fans aren’t allowed anything nice. Aye, it's such a uniquely weird club in the sense that it's clearly had the potential for as long as I've been supporting it. I've spent years being frustrated at how close we came to having it under Shepard (barring one good decison), to losing compelte hope that we'd ever have it under Ashley. To come so close to knowing we'll finally unlock the potential of the club havin spendt years being ridiculed in the media for having those very beliefs and to lose it would probably be the end for me because I dont think any other takeover could bring what this one could. My thoughts exactly. I'll be totally broken if this doesnt happen. But I'll finish on a positive, all of the noises are still that this will get done. The sooner the better...
  2. It would open a massive can of worms for the government considering the trade the UK government do with the Saudis and that they are classed as allies.
  3. According to George Caulkin, they were told the checks would take up to 4 weeks.
  4. If the prince running Sheff Utd was part of the group then I think it would be a non starter. Don't think he is (sure it's his own money) and as such Staveley and our proposed future chairman as you said will have known all the possible issues and have the responses prepared. You don't pay £17 million non-refundable deposit unless they are pretty sure they have everything covered. Thing is though, they can have all the confidence in the world but it'll count for nothing if the PL interpret things differently. If that happens, hopefully it'd be up for debate and discussion. Theres been no "red flags" yet, apparently. Reckon it would have came up by now surely if there was going to be a problem.
  5. I like the way Steve Wraith pretends to have known along that Mash Holdings accounts end on the 26th and that could be possible announcement date. "It is why my prediction has always been the end of April" Give owwa man.
  6. Lasted long. The leaking of this letter smacks of opportunism to me, why else would they do it. The journalist posting it on twitter mentioned that there has been no response but the letter is dated today. It says at the start of the letter "we recently contacted you" so they must have sent a letter to the PL a couple of days ago or whatever, got no response so released that letter today. Pricks
  7. Ah ffs man. I wish all these cunts writing letters would fucking piss off.
  8. Exactly what I've just been thinking. Hopefully it stays like this until a positive announcement is made.
  9. Just go fishing scoot. Oh that’s not allowed either. Didn't know Scoot was a charver. A charver? I'm a very sophisticated fella.
  10. This has totally took over my life now. Especially as I'm on furlough from work for the foreseeable.
  11. Jason Burt reckons nowt to worry about from amnesty international and bein sports. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/04/23/will-newcastle-united-operate-saudi-ownership-vision-club/ If anyone could copy and paste the full article that would be good
  12. So the PL are going to be looking into the piracy of PL games in Saudi Arabia? That literally has nothing to do with the PIF and Yasir Al-Rumayyan so I can't see how they can block this. Need this rubber stamped asap. I cant take another 3 weeks of this like.
  13. If that's as bad as it gets I can handle that. They even admit it's a long shot that this will stop a takeover.
  14. Please stop posting Richard fucking Keys stuff in here. He's talking absolute shite as usual.
