This is what matter. In assumption Staveley wants Rafa. The Reubens through their son Jamie wants Poch. The Saudis want Allegeri. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is fairly close to the case It’ll end up being a collective decision/choice though obviously not just one person making it. Yes collective decision but bear in mind 80% allows you to make the final decision yours.

I don't want the past. We should think Under Armour and New Balance.

I think Formal confirmation was received on this Wednesday. The five days completion time will end next Thursday but due to Eid Holidays in Saudi Banks will be closed until next Thursday. I am pretty sure June 1st is the most likely date.

Thanks. Ameritoon. Jason is the one who said papers are submitted back in March.

Can anyone please post Jason Burt article here?

Smart idea.

Good interview that I am a big fan of Henry one of the best journalist.

Why would they need to come to Newcastle in your scenario ? I'm with you in that I think its happening but I dont get why anyone would need to physically come here ? Two reasons: 1. Physical collection of property. I’d imagine there is an emotional attachment and won’t feel real or like they can get properly started unless they establish some physical space for themselves at the club. 2. Ego. As seen in a few documentaries about super rich from that part of the world they like to show off their new toys amongst themselves and this is as big as they come. If you are muslim you would understand. Why would they come to Newcastle on their biggest holiday of the year? Would you go to Saudi on Chirstmas eve.

Announcement will on the Par with Eid. Friday afternoon or Saturday afternoon.

It's The Dentist. No, sorry, he's Football Incisor. you guys

Ramadan Guessing here but I'm thinking you don't know much about ramadan. All we want is for you to know.

Ramadan

We need $150 million training campus. It's a load of bollocks according to Caulkin. Caulkin is becoming a God. What Paul Smith is saying might not be accurate but the general things he said is not off of what is going on.

The week starting tomorrow?

From Guillem Balagué https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/opinion/puerta-abierta-dinero-dudoso-7963897 The Newcastle fans are about to get rid of an owner who despises them. The feeling is mutual, of course. Mike Ashley believes that he has done a lot for the club (investing his time and money, mainly) and that this should be returned in appreciation and acceptance of his strange decisions. I am not talking about vomiting over a fireplace after a new night of drunkenness in a city pub , but rather, for example, not renewing Rafa Benítez despite the fact that he was looking for a better performance from the club. After several sale attempts, he is about to hand over ownership to a Saudi consortium led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman who will own 80 percent of the club. In other words, if the Premier does not prevent it, the institution will be handed over to a fund of the Saudi absolutist monarchy. The idea is to make a Manchester City (acquired by Qatari royalty) and not so much a PSG (in the hands of the Abu Dhabi government), that is to say to make all the possible investment in the squad but also to create a spectacular infrastructure that improves the club and the city. Financial fair play will prevent Newcastle from becoming a City at the same speed as Manchester because they were able to start the transformation before the economic limits imposed by UEFA and the Premier reached. 30 million euros Newcastle will be able to spend a net € 30 million a year (the difference between revenue and expenses) over the next three seasons. Although the buyer will send in the market due to the crisis caused by the coronavirus, it will cost to pay for great figures to reach a team that today is one of the ten worst in the Premier. Gareth Bale, one of the footballers who has sounded the most to reinforce the magpies, to begin with, will not go there. In any case they want to convince a prestigious coach to give the impression that they are serious . Mauricio Pochettino is first on the list, followed by Rafa Benítez, Massimiliano Allegri and Julian Nagelsmann. The entry of governments from affluent countries has changed the internal rules of soccer; historical clubs, let's say, can no longer compete against them. Saudi Arabia has an aggravating factor: it has a trail of attacks on human rights and ethical doubts that make it truly difficult to applaud the face-lift they seek in the Premier. But it will take advantage of the fact that the English League reinvented itself to obtain economic benefits; that is, there are no serious processes to prevent the arrival of dubious money.

Paul Smith @Smudge1962 · 13m It’s never been in the PL’s interest to block this #NUFCTakeover To maintain their claims of having the best league in world football they need very rich investors. Those investors inevitably attract the best players which in turn increases the PL’s commercial power globally

Yep I have had no doubt that's the case for about a week now. It got laughed off when I mentioned that last weekend too. The fact football has no resume date and may well resume then be stopped again for potentially months is certainly a factor. Yeah you are absolutely spot on.

Yes it will not be rejected. People needs to calm down it wont happen soon. We also need to assume there is Ramadan and we shouldn't expect things before May 24/25.

I think if everyone knew that for a fact, then it would be cool. The likes of George and those close to the process are predicting it is going to be long. He didn't say that. He said it will take as long as it takes. Meaning it could be anytime. He said today it will be slow process. I want it to happen as quick as possible but that is not the case I am afraid.
