What’s with all the nautical references? I don’t get it.

Not sure Mark Hughes or Dennis Wise will have heard of him.

The problem is we need to get players in/out. The further along the deal is, things can start to happen at that point. Legal commitments to pay transfer fees etc. The deal isn’t at that stage yet obviously. First they need to sort out Rafas contract. I know their legal team have spoken with his so there’s a contract all lined up to sign once they have the authority to do so. Seriously? You’ve heard there’s a BZG contract offer for Rafa?

You’re not wrong. I’m quite shocked at the quality of it. Is this just a shit game or is it indicative? I’ve not really been following this World Cup so far.

That bit certainly is

Will be a lot easier to not care anymore though won’t it.

Geremi as fitness coach

Any reason why people keep posting this guy’s tweets? He was making out he knew loads about the Staveley takeover aswell, proper lapping the attention up. Something like, “WOW i’m blown away by what i’ve just heard!” or some shite like that. He’s legit. Based in Dubai and has solid contacts. I wouldn’t call him an attention seeker at all.

I’ll have what he’s having

:lol: Can’t wait to see the back of those four utter goons

Still finding it a bit weird that Midhat (if it’s really him) is replying to randoms at all. Kind of hoped he’d be a bit more professional than that. That said, at least he’s telling people to shut up with his shhh emojis.

There’s no evidence for any of that though is there? Just paper talk and conjecture? Not trying to be arsey, I’m just desperate for this takeover to happen and for Rafa to stay

Absolutely agree mate. I mean there's a complete lack of evidence that the "takeover" ever got past even the most preliminary of stages but still, it's almost certainly complete now if you really think about it.

Brilliant stuff Kaiz, looking forward to it

Nope. That’s why we all shat ourselves when we saw it. We knew it was totally possible.

It is a bit weird to travel all that way for 20 mins. Surely if it was just to speak to Charnley though why didn’t they just do it by phone/ email? Some guy on twitter (yeah, I know) said that he’d seen him put some stuff in his car.

Dino give up the day job

Tit. My stomach dropped about 3 floors when I read that.

Rumour was that the sun got the story leaked from the Premier League. Not sure where that’s from though. The journo prob got his PL contact pissed down the pub on the Friday night then released the goss he got as a story on the Sunday. Luddy and now slow. Two pages back mate. Ha. Nothing evades the Eye of Mordor does it?!

From what I've heard, there is no chance that he'll sign it so it's ether Takeover or bye Rafa Any idea why he won’t sign? I’d wager a guess that it’s because he’s not an idiot Well yeah sure but I just wanted to know what ridiculous constraints Ashley had put into the contract offer.

Wonder if they’ve tried to poach Ryder too.

”NUFC fear Rafa Benitez could let his contact run down and leave the club in crisis.” Fuck right off. Straight from the pages of the Ashley playbook
