AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 In the next few days, maybe this time next week, there will be an announcement right out of the blue. Big yellow bar on SSN - Newcastle United sold to PCP capital partners. Just fucking relax! Phew, cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Are you people forgetting that Ashley has said that he wouldn't sell to someone who didn't have the clubs best interests at heart? I'm afraid any delay is probably not down to money, but PCP simply failing to demonstrate enough care in the clubs future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Wouldn't be ideal but as we would have a reasonable chance of relegation with Ashley remaining I'd prefer a reasonable chance of relegation with a new owner. People seem utterly convinced we're going down without the takeover happening in time for substantial investment this month. To be fair I might have said the same a couple of weeks back. Bit more relaxed about it now. We do need some signings, but we've shown we're capable of getting results even with the current squad. Suppose what would change that is if the other strugglers bring in their own improvements and we're left behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately for us WBA will have to sell Evans to do so and Swansea appear to be a basket case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be as relaxed if the points tally was more spread out, but as shit as West Brom and Swansea are, they and all of the others only need a tiny amount of improvement over us for it to make all the difference. Bottom place only being 6 points from 13th feels mad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What worries me the most about relegation is how our performance against Stoke was probably us at the ceiling of our ability. 1-0 winners against a very poor Stoke outfit who had some very good chances.

It wasn't like, we've played better than we just did against Stoke earlier on in the season. We were very good against West Ham & Stoke at home off the top of my head.

James Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 There are only a limited number of good players available and too big a squad overhaul can impact results anyhow. Realistically not half of the clubs below and around us are going to sign the players they need to better us this season. So if we maintain our current squad and avoid injuries we will probably be fine, but will have dropped a bit to cause a sweat. Two clever signings, even loans will secure us mid table.

Shelveys Hair Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Total guess work on my part, but I wonder if Rafa naming the 20th of Jan is maybe a deadline set by PCP. Ashley then plays it cool and extends his holiday. Im wondering about the £20 million bonus to win the FA cup.. if Ashley sells who becomes liable to pay it? Im sure its a written contract of some sort between Ashley and the players. Obviously the possibility of us winning it is extremely low, but it seemed almost an act of defiance Rafa playing a full strength team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I've given up hope now. Stopped caring again. I'm going back to just letting it all wash over me. If anything good happens, great, but until then I'll just re-adopt my dispassionate view of it all. I'm sick of this club having a continual detrimental effect on me.
