Odear

Don’t worry, we’ll be playing City soon.

Also considering the HMRC investigation, I’m sure they’re looking for hard copies too. I’d be surprised if the club was fully modernised.

If things are at “data room” stage, it’s not private jets we should be looking out for, more so geeks in suits from Deloitte or whoever has been tasked to do this. They will arrive in the office at 8am just like everyone else and have a small boardroom taken over with boxes of files coming and going. If this is something that is happening quickly they’ll be there into the night. It will be quite obvious what’s going on to the general level employees so I’m surprised there hasn’t been any leaks from that side yet. Not even one photo on twitter from the guy from the mail room (or whoever). No ship is that tight. Something just doesn’t add up about the whole thing.

All the promoted teams this year are upsetting the apple cart. It’s a weird season though. Outside City, Spurs and Man Utd, almost every other place is up for grabs by whoever wants it most. I can’t even say with total confidence that Palace will be relegated, despite historical statistics.

Celebrating in Cabayes face was about 1/8th as controversial as when Arsenal players got in Van Nistelrooys face when he missed the penalty.. so what happened in that instance?

Over the course of the game he was MoM for me.. seems to link well with Ritchie as well.

Bad day at the office yet got out with 3 points. If staying up is the objective.. which it is.. then we’re well on our way. Days like today will be as important as they are forgettable. Fuck Townsend, fuck Zaha, fuck Cabaye and generally fuck Palace.. although they did end our Parsnip misery in fairness to them

Get the fuck in!! Merino you beautiful man

Shelvey has been awful today.

Cheating cunts this lot. A few of ours haven’t showed up yet today though.. we should be putting these to the sword

Townsend running the show so far.

Fuck Sting, doesn’t he go to Man Utd games? If this takeover happens be prepared for the masses of glory hunting cunts to jump aboard as die hard fans.

His son is supposedly good looking as well - for a 12 year old. Is this according to you or the daily mail? ?

Ha ha what a curveball that is! Indeed, thank the daily mail for that one

Off topic, but does anyone remember a Sheffield Wednesday early 90's footballer called Patrick Blondeau? Not quite sure how he managed it, but his offspring is widely regarded as the best looking girl on the planet, she's still only a bairn too.

Nice one Dave! Can see that being a go to for journalists looking to summarise things.

Fuck that, if you've got billions to play with, why not build a 100,000 capacity colosseum in Leazes Park. Something like the Camp Nou, pitch below what would be ground level. Get acoustic engineers to make it a state of the art facility for huge events and to make the noise deafening in the place on match days. If i had that sort of money, that would be the dream.. I love SJP but it's only got a certain amount of leg room left in terms of growth.

Yeah I can just imagine.. both parties about to sign a deal and Amanda says “wait stop, we haven’t told Lee Ryder yet” He’s as clueless as the rest of us as to what’s going on. The Chronically reporting that there’s been reports of due diligence means nothing. Until the new object of my affection is standing on the steps of SJP with Mikes fat head aloft, I’m refusing to believe this is real. Once bitten, twice shy and all..

Non disclosure means you don't talk about anything confidential that you are privy to while either in discussions or looking through the books in due diligence. Or to make it easier, you just keep your fucking mouth shit until something is concluded. It's to protect both parties really. Announcing that NDA's have been signed makes no sense because you don't contact the media to announce that you're going to sign an NDA, and certainly not after the fact. So this news although exciting, doesn't add up.

I’m laughing at the idea of them concluding a deal over some grouse shooting when they turn the gun on Ashley who starts to leg it into the long grass.. “Buy him out boys”

She's obviously no dope when it comes to business but you use the weapons available to you, her looks are formidable in that regard

She doesn't have any kids so the term is not applicable at all. Oh dear what have you started Setting the record straight She is top totty in fairness.

She doesn't have any kids so the term is not applicable at all.

All these leaks/sources all of a sudden, it's all a bit click baity for my liking.

It will be interesting to look back on this potential sale in hindsight. It’s been a decade of too little hope, some anger and lots of apathy. The latter is the worst it got.. when you stop caring. And lots of us did before Rafa came in and lit a fire under the club. All we can hope for is that whoever buys into the club can see the potential and back Rafa while he’s here. Rejuvenating this club is arguably his greatest achievement as a manager.
