The Prophet Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 can't see the takeover going ahead until it's confirmed the club remains in the premier league It's past this stage now.

OCK Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Yet another false alarm Just like when the turtle's head pops out and then despite pushing, it just slips away like there was never a poo there anyway. Like one of my dogs this afternoon, got in to full on having a shite posture, looked like he was squeezing one out, did his little kick the grass thing when he was done. I then went over, bag in hand to pick it up but there was no poo there! Probably did a right Muttley snigger to himself watching you search for it.

wormy Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I reckon the takeover won't be completed until a Covid vaccine has been found and the club hits 43 points with a goal difference of at least +3 tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Yet another false alarm Just like when the turtle's head pops out and then despite pushing, it just slips away like there was never a poo there anyway.

Stifler Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I know it’s the Scum, but: NEWCASTLE UNITED’S £300million takeover has been approved. The Premier League have given the green light for Amanda Staveley’s Saudi-backed consortium to take charge of the St James’ Park club — with just the transfer of funds to be sorted. There had been a delay while authorities work on Project Restart as they try to get the game up and running amid the Covid-19 crisis. SunSport understands the Prem’s owners and directors test found no barrier to the takeover. Financier Staveley, who is fronting the bid, is expecting official word next week. Then once the funds and paperwork are sorted an announcement will be made on or around June 1. Newcastle fans want current owner Mike Ashley out after 13 years that saw Toon twice relegated to the Championship. 'IN THE DARK' They blame Ashley’s lack of investment — with top players sold while St James’ Park and the club training ground have also been allowed to decay. Now the financial might of the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, and billionaire British businessmen the Reuben brothers, is coming to the rescue with a target of challenging for honours. Boss Steve Bruce said yesterday he was “in the dark” over the bid but feels he can emulate Kevin Keegan and Sir Bobby Robson by turning Newcastle into a Champions League outfit again. Mauricio Pochettino and Rafa Benitez are both mooted as replacements but Bruce said: “If it’s good for Newcastle — and the club are going to try to compete with these teams — to be part of it would be great. “I’d back myself, of course I would.” Newcastle loanee Danny Rose said players are being treated like “lab rats” during Project Restart and Bruce added: “He could be less harsh with comments but he’s entitled to his opinion. “If a player or staff, and had reservations, you have to respect them.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
