et tu brute

Do you think? Sounds to me he has decided and he's just awaiting for the official paper/legal work to be finalised. He's coming mate

The way he leaves open every eventuality totally demonstrates him as a journalist. He is livid because other NE journalists are getting leaks off the consortium and he is being left out as a result of basically trying to take the piss out of them and the fans during the takeover. Fuck him

I think they get get on, so wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he did.

Under Ashley I would know that would be the end of it, however these have practically money to burn

Aye I think it's in the bag, he's coming and his actual words just about confirms it. He's just being proper as he will know we will be in the process of making everything official

I think it's more telling the players comments after the game, if he wasn't going he would have told them - he didn't

Tbf he is one of the few who has said things as they are for a while now

Yep have to agree, Howe would fall under the same level as Martinez for me, no thanks, and it would be a gutter now if it wasn't Emery (still think it will be mind)

So I presume all the talk coming in now about Howe, is because people are shitting themselves for a change?

He's on a meltdown, whilst Crinkly Granny Janey has went deadly silent after days of posting she hopes it's Martinez or Howe. She usually does when there is positive news coming out of NUFC. Her hate for Benitez was something else when he was here.

Yeah of course they know, but to be fair they have a big game tonight so they have to play devil's advocate.

The best was when they were in for Wijnaldum and thought he was signing. Post after post about how brilliant he was and how he would push them up the league. Then three or four days later, when it emerged he was coming here, there was post after post of how he was overrated, wouldn't cope with the premiership etc. etc. That thread was definately gold.

£6 mil allegedly

Is there anything from the Spanish press confirming what's being reported over here?

It will be some fringe mackem lurking about

Has CH been updated, not received any notifcation it has apart from some papers relating to the 90s?

Great seeing one of the NUFC's 'fan in peace' coming out saying he's not convinced he's the right appointment

Aye don't want another 2020 takeover situation with the massive high and then the kick in the bollocks when it falls through . Don't think it will mind as if he wasn't keen he would have knocked it back already and money does talk.

There will be, I actually expect he will be, as his last swansong. Our fans love anything to put a negative stance on things, this after 14 years of Ashley though tbf.

Could just be a swansong if he is, so I wouldn't be to worried if he is in charge tonight. He might not be either.

I didn't realise it was a Puke article, fuck that then as he will be the last person the conortium would give inside info to.

Just can't see that being a problem. It will be one going in low ball, one going in high ball and then meet in the middle somewhere. Don't think money will ever be an issue again when they have set their sights on someone.

His win % at all the clubs he has been at is pretty impressive. He was the one I wanted from the start, so I would be over the moon if we do get him.

FFS man Ando

I do hope it's further down the line than 'serious consideration', I expect it is mind.
