Miggys First Goal

I know we’re all quick to place the blame on the PL in all of this, but what if the problem is the other side? The PL have their questions, and if the buyers aren’t exactly forthcoming with the answers, we can’t lay all of the blame at the PL’s door.

You've spouted more s*** about this than anyone, all of which has been wrong What that this will go through? Which I’ve spouted from day one? I will bet you £200 quid it will go through (no time-scale for your peace of mind). Usual applies, money goes to food bank! Oooh, oooh, look at me, I've got £200 to throw around at the drop of a hat. Pathetic.

Agreed, nothing to worry about. Until Mauriss is announced as the new owner..

Why can't we just find a normal billionaire without any dodgy past who just wants to make us a proper club again. Is that too much to ask? Evidently yes.

So PIF is the biggest shareholder, I assumed Yasir Al-Rumayyan was going to be the decision-maker at the end of the day, but from the sounds of it, it's looking to be Staveley.

Right, let's get this takeover announced.

The thought of potentially having Leeds AND Villa in the PL at the same time is the stuff of nightmares.

Maybe we dodged a bullet. They do seem a bit temperamental.

But hey, at least we know that Ashley is definitely a willing seller. Just need to find someone rich enough and not mired in controversy to come along and take the club away from him.

If the PL reject it, which in turn leads to SA saying "eff this" and pulls all investments out of the UK, I wonder if the government could do things to make operating the PL problematic as retaliation for failing the takeover. Probably not, but it would be fun to watch.

I don’t even watch the games now. Just have them on in the background while I do other stuff. Season has completely fizzled out.

Out for three months.

I would completely be on Ashley’s side if he decided to sue the PL over the length of time this takeover decision is taking.

I think you will find HTT holds the rights and has called Friday at 3pm. Copycat keys can f*** off. HTT knew every week. Every week except this week. Either way, I’m in for Friday regardless. This is happening.

Imagine Keys was the one person who was right about Friday. Of all the people.

You think Staveley and the Reuben brothers had any idea this was coming?

Jose never won at SJP. Home win or draw.

Will be nice to have a respectable shirt sponsor again.

Friday will be good. Off work and my father's 70th birthday. Would be an excellent present. Don't let me down, Keys.

If only a Sports Direct employee had written to the PL back in 2007 asking them to block the takeover from Ashley on the grounds of him being a Victorian workhouse employer. And how, pray tell, did Mr. Delaney come by the contents of this latest letter? For a process that is supposed to be shrouded in secrecy and confidentiality, there seem to be a fair few leaks.

Only a takeover of Newcastle United could be this controversial like

Be just our luck that Yasir Al-Rumayyan was sitting in the room while Khashoggi was being bone-sawed to death.

Going to be one of those 99% - 1% possession games. Lovely evening dinner viewing.

This week then?

Would prefer both WHU and Villa to go down, but if push comes to shove and I have to pick one, going to have to go for Villa. Can't stand 'em.
