Tragic news, chuffed they made their target in 24 hours though

Mike Dean is reffing the Newcastle game on Saturday night, should be some easy pickings for yellows.

When life gives you Lennons.............

This idea that Ashley is a gambler and likes to take risks is a bit bollocks really, he likes to run things as cheaply as possible by spending as little as possible in the process, Ashley wants this takeover to go through so he gets paid and no other reason, his "gamble" is that if the takeover doesn't happen he can get some compensation. Bruce is still in a job because we are 17th and 3 points clear and it will cost £4 million to get rid of him not to mention the cost of the new guy. If Bruce offered to walk today with no payoff he'd be gone with a caretaker employed tomorrow.

Was Bruce not a Celtic fan as a child?

Lose this and Bruce is gone right ?

Apparently Bruce will be the first ever Newcastle manager that starts the season to take us down, 100% Charnleys fault this.

If Bruce stays I'm 100% convinced we are down.

It looks like Bruce has a free hit against Chelsea and Man U with no negative press, Wolves hopefully is a different matter

:lol: Jamie O'Hara. How is he still involved in football? O'Hara was asked last week on the Talksport breakfast show quiz to name a city in India, he said Cairo.

Jim White has got his hands on more social media posts from every single Newcastle fan to Steve Bruce last night.

BT and Sky interviews are so easy on him "another defeat Steve but you must be pleased with the performance ", they just set him up from the off to give an easy standard response.

Ignore the pundits look at the bookies, Fulham are big favourites away to Palace next week I can't think of a Newcastle fixture in recent memory that we have been favourites

The pundits have excuses already lined up for him before and after every game, I need to stop listening to them because their thoughts about him are totally opposite to mine, I just get so frustrated.

Awful pundit

Ask him some proper fucking questions man !!! "positives today Almiron's pace?"

By the sounds of it there are crossing every t and dotting every i with the hope of doing a deal when the Saudis and Qatar sort their issues out, the other Premier league clubs need to be convinced by Masters that they wont lose out with any future TV deal.

He did mention that and he also confirmed he has done freelance work for them in the past, but he did say the deal could not be done until the piracy was sorted

He didn't seem to think so, if we are down and Rafa takes over with a big transfer budget, players would come and someone like him could build a team for the top 10 in the Premier league and win promotion at the same time.

And what happens if we go down? Re-negotiate

£305 million is the price Arbitration is the key to the takeover with a deal done before the most likely outcome (De Marco) Takeover will not be done before the summer £200 million for transfers Newcastle would become part of the 2030 project with massive infrastructure investment (not confirmed but the Saudis need a flagship soccer project) Saudis don't want to buy Spurs as reported

wheres Howe off to ?

Ben Jacobs seemed very positive today, I always thought he was a Edwards like troll but he came across really well and he does very thorough research for all his projects

Thats horrific
