Fucking hell, man. I've only just wasted my life reading through the past five pages. Don't kick it all off again. I just thought it was an OMD reference Ah. Their third studio album. Souvenir being a particular favourite.

That's a myth, nobody ever did. Whereas Michael Jackson, bangers for days, bhaisaab. Glitters “Touch Me” album from ‘73 has some critical acclaim.

“Final straight” SSN

Ironically, having owners who will invest in the club, the buildings and the city will bring back the noise, the pride and the passion IMO. It's been the exact opposite when we've been run like a cold hard business. Like Man City? How was the atmosphere at City before they started winning stuff? I don't remember it being that great tbh, plenty of them were converting to Man U as their favourite club. Nah, they were pretty loyal but were the self proclaimed ‘best fans in the world’. There used to several attendance arguments with usas they had the nerve to sing ‘where were you when you were s***’ at us at St James’. They had good attendances in lower league football for sure. They were decent fans. I think the same thing that happened to them will happen to us. It’s a fatigue really more than anything. Yeah they had decent crowds when they were where the mackems are now. They are just normal arrogant Mancs in the hear then before you see them Noel Gallagher mould and mouthed off too much. Maine Road was a good old ground, bloody nightmare to get in and out of though. Don't agree with this at all. The long time city fans are, for the most part, decent lads who share a very similiar outlook to us toon fans. They've found themselves in a very fortunate position that, fingers crossed, we may find ourselves in. Ask the clued up amongst them and I'm sure they'll tell you the best time for them was in the old second division with players like Sean Wright Phillips and Jon Macken - I'm sure in ten years time we'll be telling anyone who listens about going down with Rafa Benitez and that amazing season in the Championship..... Yeah, mine was maybe a bit of a crass generalisation. There’s decent lads there. Apart from the new members. Apple cart upsetters the lot of them. Sorry, didn’t understand that mate msg7203868 date=1587876463] Manorpark is a long time poster, he just posts infrequently. I know, I was referring to the other new members My poor effort at a joke!

Each to their own. It’s a forum and everyone is entitled to their own views. The forum would be boring as fuck if everyone just re-quoted comments with thumbs up and clapping hands for evermore. Personally I’m happy as fuck and excited as to where this journey will take us. The end of the Ashley era should be enough joy for most. Let’s see how it develops.

“Don’t ever give up on your club. Keep supporting it, it’s your club and trust me, one day you will get your club back and it will be everything you wanted it to be.” Yes, NUFC being owned by and connected with the Saudi state is presumably what Keegan meant by the club being ours again and it being everything we all want it to be. I think he meant there would be a time when we would compete and have a chance at success again. Not sure he was being specific regarding ownership. I understand your disdain for the new owners and the countries human rights. I agree it’s a massive issue. Perhaps this will be highlighted and acted on as their ownership of our club progresses?

Possibly because in general someone wants profit back and if that’s the case the only way to run a club like ours is the Ashley way. We haven’t the profile of a top 6 club so to be successful and make a profit is a big ask. It is the Saudis though. The deal is done. Everything else is just noise due to there being no sports news. We have a chance of success as our new owners are not about making a profit. Yet. How do you know they want profit back? Do wolves owners? Leicester? They didn’t have too 6 profile, and I actually think we do. More so than those two at least. Rafa had a plan to get us in the top 6 didn’t he and that was under Ashley. I don’t. I’m making an assumption based on standard business models. What I can be sure of is that the Saudis aren’t coming in for the profit but want success for their project. From a chance of success point of view I think they’re our best bet.

Apologies.

Still another couple of weeks to go. Plenty of shit still to be flung by bored sports journos by the look of it.

There may be a story coming out but ignore it. So there also might not be a story coming out. So ignore that as well.

Like fucking busses! Wait 10 years for a buyer and 3 turn up at once. in the middle of an economic crisis anarl. I’m calling bullshit.

It's like when you get your new youth intake and they're all one star potential. Clique rattled. Legends lounge going into meltdown. Smithers, free the hounds. You don't even count, you're already out on loan to Berwick for the remainder of your contract. I’ve been here a while now. No way I’m going to Berwick. I’ll take Morpeth if you make up the wages

He likes a bit of traction. That’s why he smashes teenagers.

I bet it sucks Nice!

Nope. Less vitriol in the news so can only assume it’s become old news and the sale is progressing to plan.

See. Already the profile attached with NUFC reaping benefits. The journey has started.

1920?

Relax mate. This is happening despite all the bad press and haters. Another couple of weeks of mental torture to endure though.

There just a century or so behind western humanist evolution. They’ll get there.
