As expected, nothing there: 

Can we please just remove this guy soon?

 

Put me on ignore if you don't like me giving the correct answers to questions or asking if things people had claimed would happen actually have happened yet. 

Or alternatively stick to the positive thread if you don't want anything but made up news.

Maybe you should’ve just answered that you didn’t know in the first place, instead of jumping in with your ‘NO’ answer. 

Would it appear (at the moment) that I was correct or incorrect? The question was asked because the person asking it wanted an answer - not a "nobody knows" cop out.

No one puts any credence in Mouth of the Tyne/ Burnsie 

Some do / did yesterday in the positivity thread. My question was probably aimed at them, but was conscious of not asking in there to prevent the usual pile on.

These are the kind of things people get sick of.

 

Nobody on here believes that shit. You don't have to come and gloat that it didn't happen, when nobody on here thought it would anyway.

 

You're constantly antagonistic and on the wind up. Relax.

When i said it was nonsense yesterday people instantly disagreed and said there was no way of knowing it was untrue? Hopefully one of them will reply.

What happened to the deal the Premier League had offered according to Mouth of The Tyne and others yesterday?

Keith also said we should ignore guesswork and Twitter for the weekend.

Priceless.

Pretty certain there, Joey. As with everything, no one except those involved know anything. Yet here you are, erring on the side of negativity…yawn. 

You should probably reply to the person asking the question then.

Have the Premier league offered a deal then ? 

No

It definitely isn’t Whitley.

Roy called Keith a tool.

Sounds like the sort of thing someone pretending not to be Whitley would do. 

What is Pearce banging on about a "late" check

I can't imagine how horrifying it must be for your family life to be potentially destroyed and documented in/orchestrated by a gutter press release. I'd feel huge sympathy for almost anyone in that scenario. 

 

Almost anyone. 

 

hehehe

Amazes me that high profile people would even consider getting involved with something like that, it's only ever going to end up in the papers. Can only be an arrogance that you believe you can do what you want without any consequences. 

Just now, et tu brute said:

Who would be.

Ryder 

Just now, et tu brute said:

come back when he has actually signed a new deal. Then we can discuss.

I was going to say no bother i'll be happy to, but i really won't be.

It’s a good job this story came out because I had never heard of her before.

 

I assume she’s revelling in the limelight due to her extremely high morals and not because she leaked it herself for a bit of publicity. 

Who cares to be honest.

Ashley is no way going to let a player walk for nothing man when he can get money. He will be away this summer with Ashley getting cash in his pocket instead of fuck all. You can paint it anyway you want, but that’s the reason he was given a new contract. Ashley would never lose an opportunity to cash in.

And Carroll?

Yeah. I’ve seen people put ‘it’s only a year’ but it’s Andy fucking Carroll. Can understand Fernandez & Schar getting an extra 12 months because they’d still likely be squad players even under a takeover for a season.

Yeah Fernandez and Schar are good enough premier league players. Carroll clearly isnt and is a waste of a space with Gayle if there was a new owner.

Another way of looking at that is that they're all saleable assets and in the event we are taken over and buy better players we can move them on for a fee.

 

Or, most likely, nobody knows what's going to result and just have to work on the presumption of nothing happening and planning for that.

I think we'd struggle to shift some of the big wages, Ritchie, Shelvey, Gayle to other clubs.

I try to be optimistic about it but I just don’t see how. If the PL were in the wrong or if PIF really wanted us, surely now is the time we’d expect this going through. None of this ‘wait’ nonsense. Would we really be giving people like Clark, Murphy & Gayle new deals the last few months if things were imminent, knowing that they’ll be wanting to sign their own players shortly? Nothing adds up to me.

Similarly with Carroll if the rumours are true about another year. Especially this early in the window. 

6 minutes ago, Optimistic Nut said:

Why aren’t they putting pressure on the PL? Public comments saying they’re hopeful they’ll get the decision in their favour and what have you? There’s bugger all. Pre season starts in a few weeks and as it stands we still have Steve fucking Bruce and an average squad. If they were wanting this surely they’d be doing everything to get this done ASAP so they can get their manager in place, sign players before other clubs snap them up, etc.

Why indeed?

Aye the three of them clearly were. Over nothing too.

Three people immediately jumping in on the back of a fairly innocuous/factual comment. And people wonder why these threads just descend into utter bollocks…

Complete inability from some to laugh at anything in this thread is the problem, no matter how light hearted a comment may be. Same problem with acknowledging that something which is posted may be incorrect. 

The fee is proving a problem for Armstrong, even with our "discount". I reckon we're more likely to take the risk of waiting a year and getting him for nothing when his contract is up.
