What did Caulkin say and which podcast? Think he means the True Faith podcast from a few days ago. If so, nothing in that gave me much hope.

1 day left on this great mans contract. Fuck Ashley's club, I want it to burn around him. I'm hoping I can walk away tomorrow and care again when he's gone (if ever). #IfRafaGoesWeGo

In our case too it takes the piss. If Ashley ever does decide to sell, you'd like to think that any decent new owners would look at a fans history and reinstate loyalty points (or something similar) for proper fans who have been disillusioned, rightly so, by a vile regime.

Probably trying to see how much they can get away with.

May 26th it was announced "Mike Ashley agrees to sell Newcastle United!". As soon as it came out sexed up as if we had actually been sold (when we hadn't been) it was pretty obvious it'd be a long sorry saga. The likes of which we've seen numerous times previously. Over a month on, and nothing appears to have progressed one bit (in fact might possibly have gone backwards). Typical Ashley, typical NUFC.

Great post.

41 days left of the transfer window. Think it took us as long to sign Lejeune alone.

Complete joke isn't it, the best man in the world for the job has just been thrown away by the cunt in charge. I can't support anyone else (even before you consider the fact that they'll only be here because they're willing to accept less for the football club than Rafa was).

How many years do people think it'll be until we see a manager of his stature here again? (With such achievements, commitment, knowledge, love for the club city and fans and everything else Rafa brought). I'm thinking decades at least...

Well this whole summer is going rather predictably isn't it. Doesn't make it any less grim though.

Quite apt we're on page 666 given what the devil has just done to Rafa and the club.

That's one thing he won't do. The club panicked after the Spurs boycott a few years ago but unfortunately the fans didn't build on that and went back to filling the ground again and a few years previous to that when crowds went sub 45k he started flogging dirt cheap season tickets from the October to try to fill the ground up. He hates the thought of empty seats. Kenyon's takeover bid became public just before the next planned boycott also, not that many were actually going to take part in it anyway. And supporters groups were told not to protest as it could hinder the sale.

Hi Odin.

Zoom in on the photo. Look at where one message ends and the next begins...look at the background pattern...either something magical is going on or he's photoshopped it. I do this stuff for a living. It's fucking awfully done like.

how come no date is shown between his last reply and your new message? I deleted my last messages to him from 2 days ago. It wasn’t one of my finest moments.. mine keeps the date separator even if I do this in app. or you mean you photoshopped the above? I don’t know mate. I deleted 3 texts including an image (not my cock) and one of his emojis and then just took a screenshot. The the last two are from today. Fair enough. From my side it makes it very difficult to believe the above is true as that would mean your version of whatsapp behaving differently to mine(maybe someone can explain this). If you are making this up as a wind up (who knows whats going os at the moment) I can recommend a few apps for faking WhatsApp communications. They do a better job than trying to do it your self. Let me know. The actual photo he posted has been photoshopped as you suggest. It's been done really badly too like. I'm not angry. Just disappointed. A lot of people are very emotionally invested in this (not that I should have to say it) and we've got "one of our own" taking the absolute piss out of them. Jog on. It's fucking weird behaviour like.

I've been saying this for ages now, it's fucking mental

You can see the background pattern doesn't line up.

I'm sure it is still in motion as far as the parasite hasn't pulled the rug officially ....yet. and that's what we should wait for something official. Well you obviously wait for something official, doesn't mean you can't draw accurate conclusions from things that happen. Such as the loss of a major asset will affect the sale of an organisation/business/club. Not if he wasnt who they want, could also explain the 1 year contract offer. As in they don't want him...but actually they do want him for a year? Your optimism is quite something at this point. By having a year he can keep things going and hes a lot cheaper to get rid of if they actually finalised the deal from both Ashley's side and any prospective buyer........and I'm far from optimistic. Yeah I can see how it could work in any other situation tbh, just so fucked off with things here and now and don't see him being a serious seller (as usual). Think I'm just looking for an argument tbh

He's laughing his fat tits off isn't he. Showing the contempt he holds the fans in, one more time just for anyone thick enough to have not quite understood yet. If anyone is silly enough to give him money to go to a game next year, they should deface his advertising at the very least. That's literally all he gives a fuck about.

How come loads of places/people are reporting/insinuating that Kenyon is Ashley's mate? Even had a poster on here tell me he knows this for a fact. Out of all the failed takeovers, Kenyon's was by far the most suspect in my opinion. For one, he didn't/doesn't have the money, then there his little love letter to "Mike". If anything happens with Kenyon we'll still be owned by Ashley in effect. But I didn't see anywhere suggesting that at the time.

Heard him on talksport, nearly drove off a bridge deliberately to shut him up. this is literally the only thing that's made me laugh all night. Feel like smashing shit up. But yeah Luke Edwards is a cunt who puts out whatever Ashley/Charnley/Bishop want putting out there.

I wouldn't be surprised to see some positive stories regarding the takeover to appear in the next few days. Probably from the S*n or Luke Edwards. Moves the debate on for a lot of fans to "I'll take Rafa leaving if we get taken over..." I can't comprehend anyone wanting to buy the club but not Rafa. Fuck, Rafa was the main attraction for Staveley's group at least.

This is becoming more and more like the 'takeover' summer 10 years ago, only worse.
