Entirely pointless to me. Doesn't matter who's in charge with a total lack of ambition and shit ownership. Yes, you’re right of course. But if someone like Bielsa came in (who I’ve followed somewhat, loved his Bilbao team) I imagine I’d be pulled back in. Maybe.

Hard to see anyone making me care like Rafa did. Bielsa maybe.

Difficult thread, one for the conoisseurs. Misunderstood now but a future classic.

This. I struggle to see who they could bring in who’s better/more high profile than Rafa.

" I know its over and it never really began but in my heart it was so real " Club is in a coma, I know I know it’s really serious

A man of the people.

The takeover is truly our only hope then.

”NUFC fear Rafa Benitez could let his contact run down and leave the club in crisis.” Fuck right off. It's all Rafa's fault like.... Directly from Camp Ashley.

”We’re doing all we can”? Sounds like there are difficulties.

The Chronicle saying he was there. No they don’t. Sky Sports do though.

Chron reporting that NUFC ”decline to comment” on his visit to the training ground. Eh?

Many have asked about the takeover on his LinkedIn page. He hasn’t answered.

Breaking News: Man comes in to work

Why? Because it’s Newcastle United No seriously, too many negatives floating about. And I don’t get what’s taking so long. I hope I’m wrong, may well be.

I don’t think this is happening, unfortunately. I just hope Rafa stays and get reasonable backing.

Prediction: This thread will win best AND worst thread at the N-O awards.

Down the rabbit hole.

If I could pick a mix Shearer Beardsley Robert Solano Speed Lee I would go: Shearer Ferdinand Ginola Batty Lee Solano That's what I'd go with too, except I'd swap Batty for Speed.

OK, so what do you choose: Robert-Speed-Dyer-Solano and Bellamy-Shearer OR Ginola-Batty-Lee-Beardsley/Gillespie and Ferdinand-Shearer ?

With each day that goes by, less time to complete our squad. Big job that needs to be done. And I’m far from confident that Rafa will stay, regardless of ownership. Concerned.

Let’s be honest, nobody here has a clue.

On the Ninth of June. In the afternoon. It will be a lovely summers afternoon, I'm told! Oh wouldn't the ninth of June be such a perfect date? Gannin' alang the Scotswood Road to see the camel races

Has to be so.
