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.

 

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!

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.

'We have a diverse set of owners coming in to the club and it seems maybe that once we get the football sorted we could start on world peace'

I suppose having to give birth at work in a toilet in the united kingdom is now fine then.

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

No way does Ashley sell without the world going into an economic depression for the price agreed.

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.

Everyone still think this will go through? I'm more doubtful now...

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. 

I have a feeling that if the lockdown comes out and the economy returns to normal sooner than expected he will hold on to us. Unless there are severe financial penalties involved in him doing so.

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.

Exclusivity ends as soon as the papers are submitted to PL, that’s why a deposit has been paid. We’re way beyond the exclusivity point.

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.

Beautiful morning in NE25 hopefully no dramas in takeover world today !

 

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!)

It’s always been planned to complete around the middle of May. Take the bet. It’s candy from a baby

This thread is a horrific read. What a crock of shit this last 13 years has been. Should tweet a link to Delaney.

Lots of sources not saying it’s been delayed anyone thinking this will be done today will be disappointed

 

If it doesn't happen today it's not happening. It should be done already.

Second week in May. Always has been. Chill Winston. Deal done.

10-15th May. Always has been. Deal is done. The nearer to relaxation of lockdown the better the party!

I’m going on the sick with takeover fatigue. If it is the second week in May

You've got no idea how fucking nasty we can be.

This. We did.

Plus the stadium name change.

Alongside Green the most disgusting example of extreme capitalism. Fully deserves getting punched in the throat every time he leaves the house.

I’m hoping they do the same with the premiership. We stay up and Bruce doesn’t manage another game for us. Perfect ending to a decade of nothingness at this club.

The Bukta “Brazil” away kit of the 70’s my personal fave. Loved the Keegan playing era silver away as well. Expect a green based away strip after the takeover.
