Absolute Elsewhere

Aye, the East Stand was not keen. They absolutely love the british dog that is Ritchie though

Is there any other PL club that has this much issue and sagas around ownership? Out of the other 19 clubs how many have owners that try to do the best for the club, are stable and not hated by their fans?

Like a new signing he will be one of the four new bodies bacon boy mentioned no doubt. He’s not even that good is he? Probably turn out to be a decent enough champo level player

Because he fits the template of free/loan and Bruce’s bargain bucket British/Irish mags

Sevilla are the daddies of the Europa league like.

Higuain at Leeds? No chance. Bielsa likes mobile hard working strikers

I genuinely think that Big joe, Gayle and Carroll are the worst striking options any PL club has had.

An actual transfer fee? That rules us out.

They obviously haven’t heard the Saudis pulled out

El matador. Great signing for Benfica that.

What an absolute mess. It’s always us isn’t it. The other 19 clubs all have fairly stable owners and a fanbase content that their club is trying to compete the best it can and look forward to a new season, then there’s the constant soap opera that we have to endure and the only club in the league that actively try’s not to compete. Makes it even more criminal when we are the most loyal and passionate fanbase in the country too.

He fits 2 of our criteria as well, free and British. Must want a half decent salary so that rules us out.

Forgot about him. He may as well be like.

So. We currently have Dubravka Darlow Manquillo Yedlin Schar Lejuene Lascelles Fernandez Clark Hayden Longstaff Longstaff Shelvey Hendrick Saivet Ritchie Atsu Murphy ASM Almiron Big joe Wor Andy Gayle 23 man squad we are just about set. Lifting.

So what did the premier league actually do for 17 weeks. Sounds like nothing to me and then in june decided to challenge who would actually own NUFC. f***ing farce! Asked questions of PIF and the other buyers which they were unable to answer. There's no conspiracy here, ultimately it looks like PIF have been obstructive for their own reasons to the process. This is where I’m at as well. Surely if that wasn’t true PIF would come out and counter that but their silence speaks volumes.

Got a feeling of sunderland all over this. Disinterested owner and a shite squad that will be topped up with cheap loans

Dubravka and ASM are the only reasons I’m not piling on the 9/4 for us to go down. Even with them it’s 50/50

I initially had a lot of anger towards the premier league and planned on boycotting it completely as I held them 100% to blame for the takeover failing. However now I have to put some blame on PIF as well for walking away and not forcing a decision, also not responding to the PL’s last statement says to me they aren’t blameless in this. Either way anyone who thinks this could still get done is beyond deluded.

David Silva signed for Real Sociedad

Would instantly be our best striker

I was out after I heard “brokered by Michael Chopra” :lol: god they don’t half like a laugh at those daft Geordies expense

We have been put through enough in the last 5 months, just leave us all alone to get on with a few more years at least of Ashley and British Bruce ball

While it is unlikely that either of these two deals go through I do find it hilarious that everyone takes this one line from Ashley as gospel despite him being proven to be a liar and to mislead fans on purpose. True. I reckon he will be right though. It’s an utter farce the amount of new bidders and fakeovers we have. It must just be done for clickbait and for the rest of the country to laugh at us. I can’t think of any other club where this shit has constantly been going on for years now.

Ashley has even said himself the day the club finally gets sold there won’t be none of this circus and bullshit it will just be done. Zero chance PIF or this new lot end up buying us.
