Still under contract innit

Amen brother. (Or ameen if you prefer)

If there is any announcement, bet it’ll just be ‘we’re still interested despite what happened to rafa’

He's never far wrong from memory. Certainly has the best interests of NUFC at heart as he's a fan iirc. He is. Where’s this from?

No money to take the club forward and a mate of Mike. Sounds shit. We deserve so much better after the last 10 years shitshow

Nwoat

That blokes an utter bell end and likely a Sunderland fan I actually read through his timeline because that's what I thought buy no, he's a Newcastle fan. There's plenty more like him out there as well! Ok, still a bell end though.

I’ll watch it. There must be a way to get someone into KBA or something, get some dirt.

Which is likely Kenyons group

For the life of me, I do not understand what would make the job attractive to anyone. Who the fuck would want this job, now more than ever ? Decent salary. You don’t have to try. Any takeover happens (lol) you’ll get a big pay off. Just need to do as Mike says and you’ll be golden. No feeling for Newcastle, the club or the city necessary.

Yes please.

This is the fella.. who is this guy? He got it off a journalist mate

Don't believe for a second it's fake. If Ashley wanted rid of Rafa whilst not spending any money on new players he'd just do what he's done and let Rafa go whilst putting out stories of being unable to meet Rafa's demands (can't sign players without the manager staying of course). There's also no benefit to BZG pretending to want to buy NUFC after failing to buy Liverpool for 6x the price. Takeover bid is undoubtedly real. Issue is whether Ashley will agree to the sale. Not sure it's an issue now, I'm 99% certain he won't agree with BZG. I can totally believe he's holding out to buy time for Kenyon. 'Will only sell to someone who can take the club forward' ... my fucking arse. Yeah take the club forward for his own benefit, including advertising and merchandising rights and lord knows what else.

It could be Rod Hull and Emu for all I care

The club is worth less now without Benítez in charge. Will BZG still pay the agreed price? Because there’s no way Ashley will drop it. And it looks as though he wants to sell to his mate Kenyon anyway, who searching down the back of his sofa for the money to buy it with.

Football clubs should have protected status by law in that no one is allowed to own them for purely commercial purposes and if the owner purposefully hamstrings them from competing properly, he can be removed. How exactly does Ashley’s ownership benefit the city, fans or club? It’s wrong on so many levels and needs to change.

Fucking joke. I’m done. Won’t be around for the Redfearn/ Shola shitshow

Probably. Would make sense why Ashley would prefer to sell to him. Kenyon having to scrape money together from his mates doesn’t sound like a great prospect. He won’t give a crap about the club either. BZG or bust for me if it’s out of those two groups.

Just makes it more painful though doesn’t it. ‘Here’s what you could have won’

This is so fucking depressing. Ashley has ruined this club.

Think these quotes from Rafa before the Southampton game back in April are pretty telling as to his position on staying with us: ‘What I want is to get a job that I can enjoy competing. If I cannot, maybe I have to stay at home and wait, I don't know. But, at the moment, my idea is to have a team that can compete. I have been here for more than three years and I was clear from day one. I also think it is what the fans are looking for (achieve something more). We need a team that can compete in the Premier League and not just survive in the Premier League. I think there are ways we can do that, but we have to make sure we are of the same opinion.’

everyone’s on tenterhooks man. Hyper vigilant as fuck and frayed nerves all over the place. Of course people are getting stressed. Social media and internet forums are the last places you should be looking for reliable info Absolutely right. Doesn’t stop people being stressed and on tenterhooks though.

That French number 3 is huge.

Yeah, unless you believe him unequivocally and he’s given you believable detail then it’s prob best not to say anything. People are desperate here
