“I wanna be sedated..”

Yep absolutely he deserves that chance. He’s my no.1 choice. I’m not totally confident it would happen though. He doesn’t break contracts. And as for Zidane, does he even speak English well? I believe his man management is actually quite decent, the only one who might disagree is Gareth Bale and he’s pretty much Michael Owen mkII as far as I’m concerned. He’s been known for bringing together a team of dysfunctional stars to win 3 champions leagues back to back. Tactically he sets up his teams to the strengths of the players he has. With Bale fit and playing well, they played 4-3-3.. when Isco came in to take his starting place they played more of a 4-4-2 diamond where Isco had the freedom to roam about. He’s a good manager but he doesn’t bring anything new to the table.

For the UK it’s the common sense thing to do. Well there’s more money riding on it so I’m not so sure if they will though. Can’t compare the situation to Germany. If I was in charge, I’d just have voided the season. Every league stays where they are for another year and then start again in August/September if allowed to. It’s the only fair thing to do.

I wonder would Caulkin take up a job with the club in terms of like a communications director or something. He knows what the supporters need to hear and fixing that disconnect with the fans is surely one of the first things the new owners need to do.

Not a patch on that wench from channel 4 though

Whenever I think anything critical of him, I remind myself of when he bashed Steven Taylor.

True, but he's only getting those questions so much because Staveley told him she was gonna pass the test imminently, nearly 3 weeks ago now. So he should be annoyed at her surely There is no definitive proof that Staveley is his source or that he does even have a source It's just about obvious that she is, she's done an interview for him previously. My biggest concern with Caulkin is that his source previously led him down the garden path with the BZG deal which george nicely described afterwards as 'bollocks from the start'. If a source has previously given information which turns out to be false or incorrect I would not be so quick to use any future information from them Eh? Didnt Caulkin pretty much dampen that one from day one. He was fairly consistent. Also, it's not the same source FFS. Its clear AS is confident. Whether she should be is a different story entirely. Yeah I'm not sure Staveley was involved with BZG (I was under the impression she wasn't) - but she was his source for her 1st failed attempt that played out very publicly. She is very confident, I just think some caution is required given the history of the source. He’s speaking with Staveley directly. Like he’s been in her home more than once, I’m sure they are on speaking terms without him having to harass her every second day to ease our worries. He’s correct in saying that he wasn’t on the BZG bandwagon. In fact he poured cold water on that within 2 days of the story leaking. And I think what he did say was that all he was aware of was another interested party who was trying to put something together. It’s obvious now this was Staveley who took a year to get the big guns involved. If he’s saying this week that they are still confident, it means they haven’t contacted him to tell him otherwise.

The real political pressure on the PL will be to approve the deal. Everything else is just noise and an opportunity for certain people to stand up on the soap box for a brief period. With everything else going on I just can’t see how they’ll derail it. Can anyone seriously imagine the Khashoggi widow (I know they weren’t actually married) chaining herself outside SJP and going on hunger strike when the new PL season eventually starts?

So were BZG looking to emulate what happened at Sunderland? As in buying us based on income from the tv revenue?

The journos are probably bricking it as much as Qatar and gibbon mitts are. Whatever will they write about from now on? NUFC and it’s endless drama has provided them with a living up to this point. High profile transfer speculation isn’t nearly as appealing..

Where's the fun in that? With the greatest respect, where’s the fun in this?

I think we should lock this thread. Start a new one with a summary of what’s happened and only allow posts in the new one once something significant happens. ??‍♂️

The key word in their article is “could” ie made up bollocks.

It’ll be in the hands of the lawyers. The PL’s legal/compliance departments asking for info from the buyers, but will be in contact with whoever Staveley is using, and then they will be in contact with the legal teams of the Reubens and PIF separately. I’d imagine Staveley is getting on with her life until she gets the call from her side to say it’s going ahead, but with so many different players it’s probably taking quite a while. I’m sure she’s getting updates on a daily or every second day basis. At the end of the day, the PL can only act within the guidelines of their own rule book. It hasn’t changed yet so they could be in quite a lot of bother if they turned this down without good cause. My hunch is that the restart date or if at all debacle is probably taking up most of their resources at the moment and would present a far more serious legal implications than this deal happening. As GC has said, he’s been told there have been no red flags.. and that’s after nearly 5 weeks of this process happening.. I’m sure it’s close.

Still just catflap Sonias catflap

Have we heard from the peeping tom yet?

Switched his phone off earlier. Was out dogging. He’ll be back on the case tomorrow

It’s like ripping off Virgin Media and calling it the Town Bike Network just to piss them off

Jesus ?

Not true, 20%

Pure speculation but a solid theory. If they sent documents, you can be sure they were plentiful. Keep them busy

Imagine her at home shagging her husband and then Caulkin starts peering in the window.. “got an update Mandy”

Am so sick of this shit man.. why always us? Every other premier league club has had a lovely quiet lockdown. All the supporters have had to worry about is how they’ve been doing in the FIFA 20 tournament. Not us though.. always cloak and daggers and fake news and click bait. Why are we so emotionally invested in this club?
