This thread tonight

I think we can say with reasonable certainty PCP are, it's been in the news for the last few weeks and if it wasn't the case they'd have denied it by now. As the Turkish biscuit man did. The other supposed 4, well, there's no evidence that they even exist tbh.

Sky being wankers alert.

How can you get excited by someone you have no idea who they are? Rumours are they are consortiums, some Chinese which may not even be given the go ahead to purchase us from their own country. With Amanda Staveley we know more about her, and we know about her links and previous bids for clubs which suggests that it could the same or similar type of people who’s backing her to buy us. As for the press thing, we only know about Amanda’s interest because she was pointed out to the press at the Liverpool game, she had been previously before but the press didn’t recognise her. Had it not been for this we would likely have not known of her interest, and Ashley may not have publically put the club up for sale. TLDR? Putting a face/name behind a bidder allows us to get more excited. Yeah, I get that with PCP. I'm just very intrigued as to who the others are. It seems a little odd to me there hasn't been any rumblings, usually with these sorts of things there's huge speculation surrounding interested parties.

It all seems very quiet on this front, though I know whilst the due diligence process is going on that'll be the case. What I find interesting is everyone seems to be so obsessed with Staveley/PCP that we've forgotten there's another four interested parties (if we believe what we read) who've also signed NDA's and are carrying out due diligence. I know this is because she's the only one we know for sure is interested, but I do find it a bit odd no journalist or business insider seems to have a scooby who the others are! Other than one or more of them may be Chinese.

They don't mind a dive in the French league.

Cracking free kick.

Saying he said something to the referee? Ocampos played him like a fiddle.

Well that's embarrassing for all involved.

Hahahahaha

I lost all respect for Neymar, his attitude after leaving Barca stinks. Getting paid shite loads playing for PSG but he shouldn't kid himself he's playing at the highest level.

Probably just using the medium of social media to get it's name out there. I'd never heard of Rich Energy before this morning, so I guess it worked.

Why would Rich Energy drinks be interested in what Staveley/PCP are up to and why'd they even bother sending that tweet? Seems a bizarre thing to come out with, bearing in mind it's confirmed they're carrying out diligence, just for shits & giggles?

I'm not mad at Journo's, I'd rather know what's going on, I just find it odd that there's apparently a few interested parties and 4 or 5 have signed NDA's yet we're only hearing about this PCP Partners one

NDA signed but every sodding Journo seems to know what's going on.

All sounds very promising, I'm trying not to get excited.

I've heard the same re 747, guy fly's his horses over and everything.

Can't believe people are on about wanting Keegan back, in whatever capacity, that ship sailed. Time to move on, and with Benitez in full control.

Mirror have been throwing spanner’s at us for a while now. Anything dodgy would be picked up in due diligence. He’ll have them covered as well in warranties attaching the sale. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just enjoy the win and the international break, and see what happens prior to the transfer window closing. I can't see anything happening with Rafa mid-season. In the summer it'll be a different story. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It wasn't just the ref, none of the media I saw even mentioned either of them. Totally missed out on the MOTD2 coverage apparently they didn't even discuss it Sky post-match that I'm aware.

Yeah the top 5 thing has to be crap, it would take us a number of years to challenge that high.

Nothing new there though? We new he wasn't happy in the January window, he's already said he had expected more at this stage following his talks with Ashley.

Feel for Tim. Seems like his time's up at NUFC. Been a long and loyal servant to the club.

Solid DM? Surely better than Colback/Diame on that score so I'm on board. If it's even true, don't think it's a very reliable source.
