Disagree. This has to be the weirdest ever thread I've seen. We've gone from takeover, Sonyas bits, biscuits, marmite, Bovril.......this thread is history in the making. One future generations will read and marvel at. A time when NUFC have just won the world soccer/football championship will be reflected in this awesome thread that will have reached a zillion pages......... (Oh, and I used to have a Bovril drink at half time in SJP in the 60's. Still love the stuff.....rock on boys!

Not directly toon related but he is haemorrhaging money right now. If 'Goals' goes he stands to lose another many millions. https://news.sky.com/story/ashley-shows-goals-bosses-red-card-over-accounting-crisis-11744406 This guy really is in the mire and needs cash quickly........ Dare we think there is room for hope?

Do you think that one day he might get the message? Gallowgate End, do you think that one day you might get the message? Sorry for the repetition....sorry for the ...oh fuck!

Cracking piece of journalism this. Oh, if only all the rest of the useless journos would get on Ashleys back then there might have been an earlier sale...

Its definitely takeover or bust for me. Benitez staying with Ashley changes nothing for the direction of the club other than reapplying the plaster on the axe wound. Rafa staying with either owner or bust for me. The club will drop down the leagues like Sunderland otherwise. The takeover is the absolute most important thing by an absolute mile. We have had 12 years of the club being totally devoid of basic investment and improvement. No person manager or player is more important than the future of the club. How can you know that when you have absolutely no idea what the new owners will be like The man that can offer Newcastle the most guaranteed security for the future of this football club is Rafa Benitez. Enjoy Tim Sherwood and dropping down to League 1 then. You think the new owners are going to hire Tim Sherwood? The stupidity amazes me A lot of our fans are in for a reality check. The same ones that wanted Sir Bobby out for 3rd, 4th, 5th probably Have we really not realised managers like Sir Bobby and Rafa Benitez only come round once in a blue moon have we really not realised that yet? Seriously? Do you think everyone else - apart from you - on this forum are stupid?

I can see the takeover parade now. Lots of our new Arab owners, millions of Geordies all screaming and wearing toon shirts, general hysteria all over Tyneside. And then Trump drops the bomb. The 10 seconds of glory were worth the 12 years of the cunt Ashley. Bye world.....

Wednesday 19th June is my birthday. Would that not be the best present I ever had or will ever have?

Thought so, but we live in eternal hope

Couldnt have put it better myself. Is that Olly gunner something and Jose Morino thingy? Man U wind up?

is 'Squeeze my bird' some reflection on my wife?

I was driving home today and saw a dead Magpie at the side of the road. What do the omens say about that?

Yep I'm fine. Like everyone else on here we want this to happen asap. It's just not. Pages and pages of hope, expectation. ITK's. My mate said. I guess we'll know when the world tells us. Or not. But I'm good thanks! and yourself?

............................Nothing happened ............. .... .....

Suddenly.......... ............................. ..... ................. ........................

Get it in your head man there's no Takeover you thick Cunt I would hope that, on reflection, you might think this comment rather an unpleasant one. I have disagreed with most of your comments and this surpasses them all. I will not stoop to your levels of insults, but please, give it a break?

No-one but Rafa knows of course, but it seems pretty likely that it's 'new owners (if they want me) and I'll sign, no new owners and I walk away with dignity'. In my humble opinion.....

Is there anyone on the planet who is ITK? Apart from Ashley.....Lawyers... maybe? Buyers? Maybe, if they are real? Premier League? Sure as fuck they're not going to tell anyone. Not even the girl in the canteen at the club....

Go boil yer heed....

how do you know about the meeting? 6 June The Premier League Annual General Meeting is held. This is where the formal changing of the seasons happens. The promoted clubs are formally entered into the League and the Premier League switches to 2019/20 with the league table reset. https://www.premierleague.com/news/1220128 I agree with you on this detail, but there is nothing on the site to suggest that clubs must advise of any takeovers or new ownership. Are we just straw clutching?

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 I just want to see the lasses who lost their crinolenes And the veils that hide their faces

If the Sheikhs wanted and threw the money at him, he absolutely would come here IMO. Part of him I think would love to win Mr. Robson's team a trophy. Agree. Mourinho would potentially come here, but he'd want the sort of money that would allow him to challenge for titles, I don't think BZG are planning on doing that if reports are true. Really you would think we already have the ideal manager to maximise a team's potential on a 2nd tier budget. Mourino is past his sell by date. Divisive, self centred, short term....

Aye, but only if we took the bus!

These words should be engraved on the walls of the club, the city and in our hearts. And on Ashleys grave?

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?

BET OF THE DAY OK, since 27th May until tonight we've had 185 pages. I reckon that's 10 days. how many more before the takeover (IF it happens) is announced? My guess is 350. But what the fuck do I know!
