Savage!

And your source is? Upper echelons of the club. Are you the same poster who claimed they used to have a season ticket in the Clock Stand at SJP? I remain sceptical. My name for it when I was 7! Just putting what I’ve been told out there pretty much like anyone else who’s had a tip-off.

Just saying what I’ve been told from a very good source. Suns shining, lockdowns easing and the club is heading towards golden days not seen for years. Enjoy the ride brothers.

Also mentioned Pochettino being approached but that’s not for this thread.

Update: On Target

Why does Pochettino keep getting sacked?

For some reason I remember a clock in the west stand. Looking at the old photos it was just like a hump press box area on the roof of the stand?

The clock stand marra? My first game was against QPR at the end of the 77-78 relegation season. A 0-3 hammering, first time I'd heard my Dad swear. The old wooden west stand for grown-ups!

I was lucky enough to to have a season ticket for the clock stand from ‘77 as a 7 year old. Being old enough to to be allowed to go on my own as a teenager for the Keegan first coming and as a young man on the lash during the second coming. Heart breaking for the new breed who have had nothing for the past decade. Can’t wait for the good times to roll again.

Nice touch HTT. You should have consulted me though I would have confirmed mid May as the expected date by all parties. RSITK

The PL won’t stop this. They’re desperate for competition for City and Liverpool. I’d imagine the Scottish PL is a nightmare scenario for them with 2 clubs continuously (and boringly) challenging for the title.

The hour or so I heard was well balanced and pretty much as good as it gets from a fans perspective. Some great points for and against and some good points about excessive targeting of the club and fans in comparison to other clubs/sports.

Only if you’ve clocked out

“You sunk my battleship”

As soon as the deposit was made I heard from a mate who has a contact high up in club hierarchy (no bullshit) that said Expected completion would be the middle of May. People getting bent out of shape for nothing here. It’s all on target

That’s the only reason for sure.

As a person I think he’s a decent bloke and you’d probably have a pint and a good bit crack with him. As a manager and the way he treated Sheffield Wednesday: awful

Middle of May. Always has been.

Are you only more doubtful because it hasn't been announced today? Just seems to be taking so long, I know no news could be perceived as good news but I honestly expected it to be completed by the end of the month. Middle of May. Always has been.

Selling to the Saudis would be enough to stop him dicking around. I imagine it’s not worth how much security he’d have to install if he pissed them off.

Yep. Deals done. Formalities now. Journos just keeping the click bait doors open. When your representing Saudi Arabia all checks and scrutiny has been done before PL review. Everything still on time and to plan.

Stunningly sunny in NE30. Another week to wait. AND a great morning here in sunny Newcastle 3. Next week it will definitely happen, definitely (I think . . . ) Maybe the back end of the week. Was told from a good source it was always going to be middle of May so no drama required yet (although still crosses fingers!)
