Keeping the pressure on, looks like pressure through parliament to expedite clubs case is coming. Newcastle Consortium Supporters · 4m MASSIVE POSITIVITY! All takeover fans are UNITED. Its our deal to win! Together we can do it. Draft letters released soon for MPs to demand NUFC’s legal case is given transparency & expedition! Thanks to support of @ToonUnify@NUFCNews24@Magpie24_7@NUFC_HQ #NUFC #NUFCTakeover

That is what's called guessing. Im starting to think Mim....I mean Liam is struggling for new content! I think it’s just in the legal phase now, and bar cryptic tweets or likes on twitter there’ll be no updates until either deal is announced, or it’s gone to arbitration. In fact I’m unsure if we’ll even be aware when an arbitration hearing is held. The PL rule book does seem to set out a timescale for the clubs action, but the third panel member and disclosure of evidence could be reasons behind a delay. If everything went accordingly though I think the timescale is in the weeks for clubs case to be heard.

Latest thoughts of Liam Kennedy. https://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/newcastle-united-qa-liam-kennedy-talks-saudi-takeover-legal-action-progress-ncsl-steve-bruces-future-3045879

There is no way the 14 clubs are voting to allow future ownership to be decided by the top 6. On top of this it would be a breach of anti competition rules in this country, and would lead to legal action by a number of parties. In short football governance is massively in the spotlight and actually in govt manifesto. Any further stunts from Rick Parry and Co could be massively misjudged.

Cautious not edgy. Simon Jordan reckons it’s all over: https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/simon-jordan-newcastle-takeover-pif-19338519 If he thinks Ashley is wasting thousands on legal action to convince us he’s serious about selling the club, he’s an even bigger clueless gob s**** than I give him credit for.

Can’t wait to hear Schteve’s Arabic accent develop over next few months.

Dream scenario and not beyond the realms of possibility if this gets done by January.

Caulkin’s quotes from podcast. There have been low-level meetings that have been going on between the buying side about potential players in case they can get it done in time for January. “In terms of that confidence, that is the one thing that I will steer clear from. Simply because they’ve never been short of confidence. “Confidence has never been a problem, the problem has been getting it done and that that hasn’t happened. “So yes, they’re still confident and yes, they’re still there, they’ve not gone away, and still planning to take the club over.”

The lesser spotted George Caulkin these days. Luke Woo@the toon @lukewoodward01 2h My confidence is growing daily that this takeover is going to happen soon, especially with what @GeorgeCaulkin has said regarding the PIF holding meetings about transfer targets, keeping everything crossed Crossed fingersCrossed fingers George Caulkin @GeorgeCaulkin Replying to @lukewoodward01 I think you’re taking a bit much from that, certainly about soon.

Always thought that the site in below article could be a possibility, especially when the arena moves to Gateshead Quays. Looks like this development will put pay to it once and for all. Right by the river always thought it could have been a spectacular location, and kept all the benefits of city centre location. Also never understood when we looked to build on castle leazes, why we didn’t try and secure the breweries site. When you look at the development on that land now, we could have built a great stadium there, and it would have been just across the road. Maybe the land had already been bought at that point, but I’m sure they could have traded off some of the land St James currently stands on. Definitely think Hall compromised with the redevelopment of St James and at the very least we should have pushed on with Castle Leazes, as I think we would have got permission in the end. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/stunning-images-show-how-250m-19317826

Nothing really new but more confirmation PIF remain involved. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/revealed-how-pif-viewed-latest-19323876

What will you be working on Steve, one touch passing, movement and pressing as a team. Who’s he f***ing kidding he’ll be in the office chomping on a bacon sarnie, while his 2 Z list coaches retrieve balls and move the cones around.

Take a deep breath lads......he’s not going anywhere unfortunately.

I mean I’m all for healthy discussion, but how anyone can dispute PIF are still at the table beggars.

This maybe answers it re their twitter account. steve @oldheatonian · 29m Understand its Nothing to worry about at this stage regarding @NCSL1892 twitter. Simple problem of twitter acct verification reacting to a dodgy handset and number of failed attempts to access the acct over the last 12 hours

Hmmm. I hope that's not a bad thing. While it was funny, their rhyme tweet yesterday felt a little cocky and unprofessional. The PL will be well aware of the account now, I wouldn’t be surprised if they reported them. However, while I agree they need to keep it professional, I don’t think at this point they’ve done anything wrong. If anything it may even show how rattled PL are, and the tit for tat we can expect. Our clubs relationship with the league is toxic at this point. But I do agree with manorpark, these 2 lads have stood up for the supporters of this club and showed we’re not taking this lying down. It most definitely got the blood pumping reading Keith Patterson in the gazette yesterday, great stuff.

They’re not to bad at rhymes either. Newcastle Consortium Supporters @NCSL1892 Two little birds go leak, leak leak Two little magpies go Tweet, Tweet, Tweet. Verses and rules of slow play by Masters & Hoffman. Geordies UNITED for answers!

These lads seem to have previous with anti competition cases, and understand have won one much larger than this. By all accounts O’Donoghue is also a leading anti competition QC, so absolutely no reason not to believe in them.

Yeah the Spurs stuff is very interesting. If that is even half true it makes it absolutely clear why the “top six” would be so worried. I mean, 3.5 billion for Spurs, that is some level of investment and commitment from the Saudis. Exactly and what these owners in the top 6 will also be aware of is that there’s a very limited number of people who could afford to buy them. PIF will be one of these companies who could afford 3 Billion, they’ll be well aware a major potential purchaser down the line will have gone. As Staveley said at the time their was a lot of jealousy behind all this.

Yeah the Spurs stuff is very interesting.

Great read that can’t thank these 2 blokes enough, they deserve everyone’s recognition and full support.

Can i ask what it would take for you at this point to believe the Saudis are still at the table ? Maybe MBS riding down barrack road on a camel wielding his sword perhaps ? Actually don’t answer these questions I f***ing despair. I was commentating on the article in the Telegraph which is just another entirely invented load of hogwash based on rumours, hearsay and the desperate ramblings of some hack who hasn't got a f***ing clue what he is writing about. No problem with that, it's modern journalism, however that people believe it's the gospel truth that's the problem. I've no idea if the Saudi's are still interested in buying the club how would I, the last public comment they made was that they were out. The said journalist Jason Burt actually broke the takeover story, he has credibility.

Funniest part of this entire saga was right at the very start, during the morning of the Companies House changes, when Edwards steamed in to s*** on it and had to delete his tweet after 10 mins because someone at the Telegraph clearly had a word to say Burt had the exclusive. He’s been on the back foot since this whole story broke, he clearly has no relevant sources, tries to belittle other journalists and just displays a complete lack of knowledge around the whole proceess. And to top it all off he comes across as a completely unlikeable cunt.

Rather telling that he hasn’t retweeted his colleague Jason Burt’s article, but was quick to retweet previous ones when it had stalled. Funny that.
