As opposed to Ashley of course? Amazing journalism from Lee Ryder that.

Looks like James Reuben has been talking? Got friends at the Financial Times it seems. Set for an executive role at NUFC according to the papers. Also, his friend at QPR Amit Bhatia commented on an article about the Reuben brothers buying NUFC but deleted it. James Reuben also just started to follow NUFC on Twitter...

No. We don’t need to hear about any submitted offers. In the due diligence they agree of the ”Heads of Terms” - includes details on the identified buyers and sellers, the purchase price etc. They don’t need to submit any offer at this stage, but they know the purchase price. In the next stage - The Sales Purchase Agreement - is where you buy the club. The “actual agreement that transfers the shares of the seller to the buyer”. Can take months.

Can’t find this story anywhere.

No words from George Caulkin (as expected maybe) but he predicted (May 2018) Amanda Staveley would come back with another bid for the club.

The most interesting part of it is that one of they guys who broke the story is currently writing a book about Mohammed bin Salman. If true, the leak is probably from Saudi Arabia.

About the proposed takeover being leaked:

Bruce ability not to make tactical adjustments during games are chocking. Bernard and Kean sitting between our central midfield and centre backs just waiting for the ball. Sean and Matt both pressing high up the pitch.

This game will see goals. We are pressing very high up the pitch.

I think his problems is with the club, not the manager(s), for failing to attend German lessons.

I think signing Nabil Bentaleb on loan is a steal. Will easily become the best central midfielder at the club if he joins. Good in both defence and attack, tall, competitive, an eye for a pass and can tackle. Scored three goals in the Champions League last season. I’m not a fan of Steve Bruce but I think he will handle him really well. Also, don’t think this so called ”attitude problem” is something to worry about.

”They don't want me to train with the first-team squad or to be associated with the squad in any way.” Think he will do well here.

Better today. But to many touches on the ball everytime he gets it. Is acting as a target man in every situation. I would like him to ’pass and move’ more.

Lazaro is a strange one. In our team and in our 541/532-formation his best position is at right wingback. A position we already have Yedlin, Manquillo and Krafth.

First day of pre-season for Swedish club AIK...

Lingard is trying to offload Lingard. He hired Raiola to try and force a move. He has been dreadful for a year, but there is a really good player in there. Surprised he wants a move. I thought he was pleased sitting on the bench at Old Trafford, joking with Rashford and elaborate with new handshaking styles. Will end up at West Ham if he leaves.

As an owner yes. He owns 1/4 of Hammarby. Set to join AC Milan it seems.

You can’t have three central defenders and Shelvey in front of them as a quarter back. The reason you have three central defenders is to build the game via them. Now, with Bruce, they are just giving the ball to Shelvey who hit it long at every opportunity.

Overall the last few games Almiron has been good. Just very unlucky not to score or assist.

He’s probably heard something about new contracts to the Longstaff brothers. The GACP guys have bought a club before. That’s why this takeover rumour is more realistic than the BZG. They have also set up 4-5 new companies related to NUFC just like they did when they bought Bordeaux. Hopefully, but probably not.

They own 14% of Bordeaux. Ok, but the chairman and CEO of GACP, Joseph DaGrosa, seems to be the president of Bordeaux. Yes true, they front the club. I think they bought the club with King Street (owning 86% of the club).

They own 14% of Bordeaux.

I’ve seen reports in the papers claiming GACP set up two companies just before the bought Bordeaux. Wrong. They set up two new companies in June 2018 and completed the takeover 5 months later.

Can anyone ask them on WhatsApp if it’s true?

Joking around with everyone on the training ground. Trying to be a funny guy.
