Release clause, plus any PL team can pay wages higher than Ajax. He’s been there 19 years and maybe needs to test himself elsewhere (or get more money).

I would probably still pick Saudis ahead of most others tbh. If they're good enough partners for our govt, Amanda and the Reuben bros, they are good enough for me. Exactly these journalists now preaching we should be wary of their motives can f*** off. I’d happily see them purchase the club without passing the test, and then just fold the club to f*** off the PL. These journalists would be better off investigating which clubs are actively pulling Masters strings to prevent this and also what extent Bein are medalling behind the scenes. I’d say you’d be more of an idiot to continue to want Sports Direct FC to represent our great city, in a league who clearly would only value us as being continued cannon fodder for the big 6. But each to there own I’m sure you’ll be amongst the thousands who continue to rock up and happily take it up the arse. Most of those who are against the takeover probably don't attend games anyway. Some of them might be actual moral objectors. Although they'll probably happily join millions of others in marvelling at football played by clubs like Chelsea and City with their angelic owners. And most of the people in favour of the takeover has no idea who MBS is or what he has done and are willing to do to get what he wants. Don't get me wrong, I would love Newcastle to have bottomless pits of money and compete with the best in the world. But I don't want MBS as our owner. Doesn't mind Amanda Stavely or the Reuben brothers though, think they could be good owners without PIF. Has it taken you 16 weeks to realise MBS is no angel ? You should apply to the PL for a job, I think you’d fit the criteria there looking for. So you either like MBS and what he stands for or you just don't give a s*** and want Newcastle to get his money. I'm more worried what he could do to Newcastle when/if he looses interest. How would he react the day the fans will drive him out as with Ashley right now. He could build a theme park on Barrack road for all I care if this doesn’t got through. When the PL start caring about ethics and applying it across all areas of their business then I might consider it a valued argument. I'm with you on that. I think if the Premier League reject our takeover they should look at all Premier League clubs owners. There are quite a few owners that should not be allowed I think. And what would they do with them if they said they weren’t appropriate? Make them sell up? How quick? For how much? To whom? Ban the club from the PL? But that's all that's happening now. Ownership values is either a rule or it isn't. The present bidders would meet UK standards for Directors of limited company. It is the EPL that is setting higher standards.....for new entrants only. As you say- for new entrants. There’s no way anything could be enforced if they decide current owners contravene new entry tests!

If only it was day 100...by my reckoning, we must be at around 125? It’s a fucking joke.

Wtf?

The table is shown as final position, but because the season ended abruptly, the positions were finally calculated by points per game.

I'll stake my account that it will definitely go through Thanks for your support, our new owners will shortly be taking the reigns, you can bet on it. You gonna delete your account on here if it doesn't go through next Monday or not? You're 100% confident after all. HTT even put money on his confidence a couple of months back, so let's see how confident you actually are. It’d be equally nice if all the doom and gloom merchants in here can bet their accounts if it DOES go through.

So, is that news good or bad for the club?

Got handed a load of cash from his old man, didn’t he? He’s certainly not ‘self made’ money (if he has any left).

Yet they’re after over £37m for the club. Deluded beyond belief. The Don is going to run them into the ground before next season is out.

https://www.redandwhitearmy.co.uk/post/summary-of-informal-meeting-with-safc-16th-july-2020 The Don is blaming the best fans in the world at the classiest club for failing to sell up. This needs a Series 3 on Netflix for sure!

PL just giving everyone else a head start. Well if rumours are true then it'll be us that sparks the transfer market in to life. Bet there are a few teams praying for our newly found money. Like post relegation Villa, when Brucie offers £25m+ for Elmo...

Although Alexi Lalas with his incredible ginger beard was always the most memorable, growing up.

Altidore surely?!

I’m gonna be needing a five minute head start warning to go and find my sunglasses before the Penn positivity rays start to burn my eyeballs....

And John O’Shea...?

Seriously? I remember him being decent at lesser teams- Birmingham and West Ham, but never at a good level of team?

Upson? 57 appearances in 6 seasons suggests he wasn’t great at the Gunners. That wasn't the mantra though, was it? Just "produce one CB worthy". Post never said they had to be great at Arsenal. That said I didn't realise they bought him from Luton as per above post. My bad- I took the ‘produce one CB worthy’ as meaning that player must be worthy, ie good, as opposed to merely producing a player.

Money talks. Unless it’s for our takeover.

Lothar Mattheus? 79/80/90/00?

Two league 2 teams as well as the Mackems after him apparently. Says everything about how far this lot have fallen.

We were heavily linked to Benrahma at the start of the year, iirc.

Luke ‘The Rod’ Edwards?

Imagine the fewm if Thiago replaces Hendo...!
