It’s an incredibly mild-mannered opinion of a potential transfer’s likelihood. Really not worth getting upset by

None of us have seen ASM under a non-Bruce manager though, so he "loves" it under Bruce relative to what, exactly? And why the fuck would he worry about being dropped? All he's ever done for us is be a good, productive footballer. Oh but he took an 80 minute flight to France a couple of times. Fucking weirdos. He's an excellent footballer and could be stream-lined into a near-world class one under a good manager. You're a creep if you think there's an "issue" with him.

Like some sort of official statement from them, perhaps?

Genuine question: what would it take for you to believe that PIF are no longer at the table?

This is incorrect. “craic” is a faux-Gaelicised word invented in the 1950s as part of an advertising campaign in Ireland; “crack” as used in the North East pre-dates it by a century or more. Please acknowledge your mistake and perhaps delete the post. Thanks.

No. "why?" Because the idea of a litigant pressuring judges through the press to decide in their favour is absolutely insane and wouldn't be put forward by a single solicitor in the country, let alone a QC. Genuinely mad stuff.

Jonathan Liew is one of the few people in Britain with more contempt for football fans than 'big six' owners - a repulsive little slug. And fans effectively veto-ing the biggest game in English football, and destroying multiple big money broadcasts across the globe along with it, is a funny example of 'fan powerlessness'. If English football fans continue to recognise that they actually have veto power over games then it's a complete game changer.

The takeover collapsed nine months ago when the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia formally withdrew their bid to acquire the club. No developments since then - will keep you in the loop if anything changes

Not one to toot my own horn but I did call the sham nature of PCP a while back: PCP doesn't actually exist as a business. It's part of the lie that is her public persona.

https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/PCP-v-Barclays-Summary.pdf Interesting that the judge largely confirms the truth of Staveley's allegations re the conduct of Barclays, but denies any compensation whatsoever on the grounds that PCP is basically a non-existent enterprise that had no real-world ability to raise any finance.

The point is more that the PIF ultimately operates under the absolute control of MBS. So yes day-to-day operations are managed by his appointments, but ultimately if he wants to commandeer PIF-owned planes to facilitate the murder of a journalist then there's f*** all anyone can do about it. So no one can ever push the "fully independent" line with a straight face. When are you going to post on other threads which involve matches, Bruce. Ashley etc. Oh wait you won’t because you’re not a Newcastle fan You've rumbled me - I've been running a decade-long deep cover operation pretending to be a Newcastle fan so I can attempt to undermine a future Saudi-takeover attempt. More gems from the N-O brains trust.

"fully independent"; "irrelevant"; "nothing the PL can do to stop this" etc etc

Stifler's post clearly ate away at Neesy throughout the night. He couldn't just leave it at one attempt at a pithy reply - he came back 8 hours later demanding answers. Tough to watch.

Why do you ignore questions? Why do you care about what posters on here feel may or may not happen with this takeover? You don’t post in any other thread so what’s so special about this to make you care so much? What else is there to discuss about NUFC? Hendricks' pass completion rate? Bruce's bodyfat %? It's a zombie club - this is the only subject of any interest and, in my opinion, the position held by the majority of fans on it is incorrect, so I'm posting what I believe to be the case. In your opinion, do you think PIF will be back in if Ashley wins his case on the basis that the PL incorrectly didn't allow them to pass the test? No idea.
