I cannot see any of this massive surge :/

Imagine if it was to say the deal is off. My guess is the super duper exclusive is that the deal is nearly complete. Aye. 'Could be confirmed in the next ten days' I reckon

May have already been done, but Newcastle fans desperately willing their team to lose. That was canny strange and I look forward to it going away.

allcaps italics surprised they didn't use comic sans

Was going to be mine. Such a little thing, one of the only things that didn't need looked at in SJP, that they managed to make look so shitty.

Takeover is off sadistic and not entirely convincing but a noble effort

Can't see it from work What is it?

Shields Gazette have called it from the very beginning of this latest saga like, from page 1 of the thread article for anybody like me who can't link twitter from work

Currently preparing my own

Nobody is going to notice when this finally happens for all the people arguing

That's a fair point, like Doesn't really matter how the Saudis prefer to do it.

I don't suppose we'll hear anything until it's all done and complete, based on earlier commentary about previous deals in the region being kept quiet until they were concluded. It's absolutely as it should be, really; tell people once and tell them the full story is always the best way.

to be fair, they might have had to spend five minutes or so thinking about how they can safely restart one of the most high profile and high value leagues in world sport in the face of a hideous global pandemic

I like this tweet so I believe him. I don't like this tweet so I no longer believe him. I don't think that second one is any sort of assurance for Bruce, it's just saying that no prospective purchasers are likely to be actively sharpening the knives before it's signed and sealed and all they've offered him are the usual banal platitudes that come with a takeover. He'll be peddled.

Good owld George I reckon there's a pretty good chance that the people involved in this bid had anticipated everything that's been thrown so far, like

Lack of articles can only be the result of hitherto negative journalists winding their necks in because they've realised they were wrong Literally no other explanation

Chronicle saying could be done in the next ten days it's always the next ten days

Such as sports ministers following us on twitter. This is the thing for me like, there's so much ancillary evidence to suggest it's well on its way but the instant some fucknugget on twitter posts a bit of speculative thick-as-whale-spunk shite everybody's in the pit of despair again

#cans if another bid is successful People who haven't already fallen in love with the journalist murderers are going to be very, very pleasantly surprised. It's a more socially acceptable multibillionaire? Tremendous news

Reckon it's big mike doing his best used car salesman shtick, 'take it or leave it love, I've got somebody else on their way over now who's been on the lookout for one of these for years'

stand off what a fucking knacker Nobody with any actual professional interest in the deal has said a word
