Ehm.. no that’s not the source. An offer of £30M+ was made back then, and I have absolutely no idea why you’re in here trying to deny it

Manchester United made an offer of £30M+ 18 months ago though... OGS was (back then) desperate to get him in At no stage did we ever make an offer for Longstaff. I can assure you, Manchester United made a verbal offer of £30M+ for Sean Longstaff 18 months ago. The offer was rejected by NUFC.

This. The Sun say we want Williams, Jones and Lingard on loan Can get 2 We can't, not on loan I stand corrected it’s 2 from the league isn’t it ”Premier League clubs may not register more than two players on loan at any one time. - The maximum number of loans registrable in the same season is four, and, under no circumstances, shall more than one be from the same club at any one time.”

Considering I've been using the word 'goon' to describe these idiots for weeks now I'd say it's yet more evidence they are on this thread. Whitley Mag would know I'm sure. I’ve never seen a more negative poster on this forum during my 16-17 years on here. A quick look on his previous posts and he hates everything about the club. Just log out, go for a walk and get some fresh air. The efforts from some posters to convince us that this takeover is dead is just ridiculous.

Jesus - Everton have done well to get that for him. I'd have thought he was partially damaged goods at this point tbf. Standard piece of business I think. Both clubs should be happy with that.

I honestly think Bruce wouldn’t mind a loss here just so he could blame the corona for the loss Of course he would prefer to win, but with corona this is a golden opportunity for an excuse. Bruce loves an excuse.

He also implies it could be through Aramco.

PCP Capital Partners...

I am sure he will be back when he has something to say. Meanwhile, silence is golden. Is it tho? The foreign office stuff and LK latest update doesn’t sound particularly positive Those things happened back in May. Relevant then, irrelevant now.

I think Mimms is the only one who thinks theres a chance of it being sorted before then. Based on what he’s said, the people involved, the pressure on the PL etc I think a takeover is a possibility in December or in January. We seen miles away at the moment Based on what? The thing is we don’t know. But with buyers + Ashley + lawyers involved there’s a possibility something could be around the corner. Based on caulkin who talks to the buying side mainly. Fair enough. I think George Caulkin is cautious in what he says this time though.

Almost four weeks since this post. After what’s been reported in the last few weeks and days it looks like things are progressing to some kind of compromise/decision.

Are they still in talks?

Seems like the Bellagraph Nova Group is behind this. This is what Michael Chopra has been ”excited” about.

Is that official anywhere or is that what you've been told via your weekly update? 50 MPs from outside the North East and 30 from the area. What did you hear today then?

I don't think it's necessary anymore. Why’s it not? I'm just hypothesising. From what I heard he was due on a PR warpath this week if things remained the same. I think he's getting the answers and reassurances he wants. Just to let you all know, this is fourth hand information (Stavely, Caulkin, ****, then me) I'm getting. It's very succinct and not very wordy at all. Nobody is sending me updates on this, I'm actively pestering people who aren't really interested in this On a Thursday and Friday my partner works closely with a friend of Caulkin's. I will post the updates here and you can choose to believe what I'm hearing, or not. I mentioned this in a WhatsApp group with a couple of people from here yesterday, but the mad smiley I put in here was a genuine error. I was looking through the smileys while p*ssed and when I woke up the next day I had a couple of private messages on here and other places. I didn't have the heart to say anything. Anyway, nothing new since my last post. But if it is as you said before - Staveley and the PL are in talks x 10 than before.. then this should take days/weeks?

Wraith It’s hosted by Caulkin so probably Staveley saying ”good work, thank you, keep going” or something.

I doubt that. Steve Nickson has scouted him since 2014. Emil Krafth has said he knew about the club’s interest and that they have been scouting him for the last 2-3 years. It is a Nickson signing. Nickson highly recomended him to Steve Bruce (who then convinced Lee Charnley to spend some extra millions on him).

That’s not true though. Which bit? Recruited via a company/agent.

That’s not true though.

Sure. But was scouted for 5 years before Bruce was appointed, but yeah, Bruce probably gave his ok to the deal. Bruce convinced Lee Charnley to spend some extra millions on him.
