Most likely PIF will not be interested when we get relegated.

Yes he claim all takeover talk is suspended yet the club put out statement its determination to complete the deal.

Planes owned by the Public Investment Fund were used to transport the Khashoggi assassins, on the specific orders of MBS. "fully independent"; "irrelevant"; "nothing the PL can do to stop this" etc etc Here at any sign of bad news to revell in it, what a sad guy Not only sad he is so vindictive. Small one.

It is not completely over don't be dramatic guys!

I wonder what will happen if this thing is going to the court and as the same time we got relegated? The PL can't go to court with a non member club I assume?

Stop saying Bruce has to go. As long as Ashley is here he will remain here. I’ll say what I like ffs Bruce will go when we are in bottom 3. Ashley will act eventually but just like bringing in Shearer & Rafa it’ll be too late Yes you are say lts of shits.

Stop saying Bruce has to go. As long as Ashley is here he will remain here.

This Club under Ashley deserves to be in Championship rotten to core!

As if there is any other outcome.3

Rinse and repeat.

Why are you commenting such pessimism thoughts in optimism thread.

Isn't this just about the resumption of trade due to Covid causing restrictions over the last few days? No there were no trade between those two since summer 2017.

Wolves is easier team right now compare to Brighton.

100% this. Incredible times....we may not have won anything but by god we had some fun. I remember when we first signed him as a player, I was on holiday in Wales and me and my brother were playing in a park in Porthmadog when we got talking to this kid who was a Liverpool fan. He asked who we supported and when I said Newcastle, he said something like 'you must be happy you've signed Keegan'......we just assumed he was winding us up, as this was just too seismic a thing to believe, so we ran back to the boat we were staying on, and asked my Grandad to put the radio on. Sure enough, the news was confirmed, and as 12 and 9 year olds, we were absolutely delirious, I mean this was just huge news for a club in decline like ours that was dying on it's arse in the 2nd division. I had to wait until 6pm (cheaper calls) and rang my Dad from the phone box and pleaded with him to get us tickets for his debut, something that we never had to do before now. We came home a few days later and the players were doing a signing session at the old club shop in the West Stand car park, so I went across to town with my mate Ian. It was mobbed and Keegan was there with Imre Varadi, John Trewick and Kenny Wharton.....I was wearing my yellow Bukta away top and I was standing next to KK's big Mercedes when he got out 'Is that the away top, horrible that, we'll have to get it changed' he said to me and winked......I nearly passed out, the great man had spoken to me! I ended up getting it signed by all the players, Keegan's autograph beautifully executed on the back. I still have the shirt now 40 years later, and have passed it on to my son to look after The next couple of weeks were just a blur of excitement leading up to the QPR game and the big day finally came. I went across on the bus with my Dad and brother and there were black and white tops everywhere in town, this was nothing like a normal match day. Fittingly, it was a glorious day and we and we went up to the Hodgson Arms and we sat outside while my Dad had a few pints with his mates, the singing inside and outside the pub was deafening and it was a party atmosphere. When we went to the ground, there were huge queues to the Gallowgate, but we had tickets for the East Stand benches, the first time I had sat at a game. The colour and the noise, everything felt like it had been turned up about 200% from the previous season, there was even a streaker in luminous green socks. Can't really remember much of the game, but had a great view as Keegan ran in and slid the ball under Hucker for the winner.....absolute carnage for the next 5 mins. I managed to watch all of KK's home games as an NUFC player, and even in the twilight of his career, he was light years ahead of anyone else on the pitch. Watching him Waddle & Beardsley for that one season together was incredible. I hope if we do get taken over the first thing anyone does is name recognise Keegan's huge contribution to NUFC; nobody has done more for the club in modern times. Happy birthday KK, you absolute legend. This is beautiful thank you for sharing.

I know what you mean like. On the flip side I don’t think he’d have put his reputation on the line if he thought losing was a possibility. I may be very wrong here, but I'm sure I read someone on here saying he had to take the case when it came his way. Something about barristers and "Cab Rank"? Not sure if it applies here and I may have been dreaming Now that you mention it, that does ring a bell. Surely it can’t be the case though or I could hire him to help sue my neighbour for constructing their fence 10cm into my garden. It can’t be true as all the lawyers involved with both cases have been hand picked. Not saying this rule doesn’t apply in some instances, but certainly hasn’t happened here. What a bunch of toxic guys I feel bad for you Whitley mag.

I was reading the notebook and delighted to read the buyers are having SUPREME confidence in Nick winning the arbitration. I come here at the Pessimism takeover thread you lot discussing about the Singapore guys

When we have sane owner we need to name one of the stands Kevin Keegan. Most likely the east stand!

From Rob Elliot "Whenever I see anyone, they always ask us what's going on and stuff and to be honest with you, as players, we don't know much," Elliot told the What's Next podcast. "When the takeover was going on, everyone was like, 'What's going on? What's going on?' I don't know! "If the Saudis come in with all this money to spend, do you think they're going to give me a new contract or go out and sign [Gianluigi] Buffon? "They're basically not going to tell the lads because they're just going to sack all of us anyway and buy a load of superstars so they're not going to tell us they're coming in. I always try and say that to people. "They're not going to say, 'Oh yeah, the takeover is happening lads. Get ready. Oh, by the way, we've just signed four superstars tonight and we don't need any more goalies anymore!'"

For the first time since last April I really lost interest in this. It really doesn't matter all the nice things until it is sign and seal by the PL.

Tuchel

This is better news than the game.

True dat!

I love the false manager narriative. There should be hash tag on it and everything. If we bin him we must look into the continent. Like the Southhampton Manager. Lucian Favre is also available.

You lot should watch THE DISSIDENT. The new documentary that has been relased.

We will be a toy of MBS dude plays games online and spends tons of money on them. He will invest silly money and he will sack Managers for funny reasons. You saw Tuchel got the boot at PSG for saying something not that outrageous in the papers our managers will get the boot for a whole lot less than that under MBS leadership. Getting beat by bottom of the league team there will be a call from MBS to bin the manager before he speak the press. All in all him acting as he wants is much better than the neglect we are facing now under Ashely.
