GWN Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Clearly been given the ok this , now for the announcement, I'm sitting smug then raising my glass whenever it shall be. No going back, too many "stories" saying the PL approval is done for this not to be the start of life without MA . They can take as long as they want , we are f***ing sold , this time I just "know" it. I'm going back when I can . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 it's 'reportedly' i.e. they have no information themselves and are just re reporting the other stories, and not to be negative but I imagine Sky Sports would be among the first to 'officially' know, so if it is true it's maybe before the final rubber stamp or whatever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawberry Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 My take on today: PIF and JV1 are in Newcastle right now. No other reason why a plane would make that Saudi - London - Newcastle - Saudi flight. I reckon plane went home empty having dropped the required personnel off. There was going to need to be some sort of physical transfer. I do not believe for one second that events at Sheffield Utd are coincidental. I’d imagine a box needed to get ticked and Al Saud complied. But it would be folly to publicly admit to this. That ITK about PR being called in sounds legit to me. All in all this is happening and I think we are ahead of where the media think we are. Why would they need to come to Newcastle in your scenario ? I'm with you in that I think its happening but I dont get why anyone would need to physically come here ? Two reasons: 1. Physical collection of property. I’d imagine there is an emotional attachment and won’t feel real or like they can get properly started unless they establish some physical space for themselves at the club. 2. Ego. As seen in a few documentaries about super rich from that part of the world they like to show off their new toys amongst themselves and this is as big as they come. If you are muslim you would understand. Why would they come to Newcastle on their biggest holiday of the year? Would you go to Saudi on Chirstmas eve.

Decky Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 The media aren't just changing their tune for the craic. It's definitely been approved. Someone at the PL or the buying party must have leaked it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
