Because I've never really been convinced Ashley wants to sell. The only way he would is if he could show the world he has scored a premium on top to show he's top dog in the business arena. So if he finds out Saudis are behind Stavely's plan the price will go up to compensate for his manhood issues. Do you not think he knew this from the off? Maybe he did. Just played it along for his own purposes. Aye, that's fair.

You must be new here I'm not particularly pessimistic. I reckon it'll happen at some point. But I'm a thick cunt Definitely not new. Are we just bored of waiting, so the optimism manifests into pessimism? Think it's that nobody expected it to happen in the first place, and the lack of news just amplifies the feelings. Same as last time, I'm in the camp of somethings going on but nothing will happen. Infuriating

Well it's not lies...but was never going to happen.

The fuckin state of him

Lights off and no blinds all around, all doors closed to save on heating, Susan sat at the desk on her own with 35 telephone lines al put through to her phone, charnley sat at his desk with padded corners staring a newton's cradle while Bruce stands braying the door at ashleys empty office knowing full well he's not there.

I can probably say, with about 99% certainty, it isn't a good thing

Be plenty of these scruffs out and about to greet their saviour Boris today.

Yep. And no one in the media questions it either. Because they'll be fuckin ecstatic.

Look where his careers took him, poor bloke.

Love the strategically taken photo to ensure maximum SD exposure. Aids.

Proof or not, she's probably right. It's all just pie in the sky stuff.

I know I'll be straight back in, but you can't compare ashley with the Saudis like. There will definitely be some people who will walk away if it happens.

Good go goo god indeed. Sums up my thoughts entirely ??

Good god it wasn't 'them' man Wish I could stop checking in here.

OK I admittedly didn't read that far.

So a helicopter with no links to anyone involved has headed in the general direction of Newcastle but may be going elsewhere? I'm in.

The fucking balls on you. Aye. Can he not be 'stored' alongside anything from the chronicle?

They're obviously tyre-kicking time wasters with nee money.

Can we ban the chronicle from here?

Doubt any statement will have any effect on anything really, if he was actually planning on selling, he still will. Pretty certain he won't factor in an Ashleyout statement into his decision

At the risk of sounding like a deluded geordie, there aren't many clubs around that will give him the exposure nufc does, especially a 'cheap' club.

Was there any type of questioning when they were trying for Manu? Not sure tbh but I can't remember seeing Amnesty International kicking off and forbes retweeting etc Top and bottom of it is, if they took over man u, the sports media would absolutely love it so they could froth over the impending Manchester rivalry. There would be some absolutely wounded media pricks if it did come off for us.

Will be class when they go back for man u and the media suddenly think they aren't so bad after all.

What a load of horseshit. Everythings there, no problems, but going to fuck it off as info has been leaked which everyone would have found out soon anyway. Basically Ashley's started to worry things were getting to serious, and using the 'leak' as reason to pull the plug.
