It all seemed to go quickly once the CAT happened. Who knows what was said during the blackout of the session, might have been a massive blow to the PL. Outside of that, it really wouldn't surprise me if somewhere down the road, KSA scores the PL TV rights when BeIN's contract runs out, maybe that was a closed door agreement that happened. The CAT suit didn't seem to be going the PL's way, then all of the sudden the KSA allows BeIN and they kill BeOutQ... and NUFC sale is approved in days (along with the CAT suit being dropped). I don't really believe in coincidences. Also, the PL definitely did this all behind all the other clubs backs. No tin foil hat on, it is all just so odd considering how bad things were over the prior year for this to all transpire before the CAT came back with a judgement.

Apparently at least one club asked the question of the EPL board why have you not resigned. Still makes me laugh that the other clubs are upset with the fact they weren’t given any warning of its approval. Cartel indeed.

The worst thing about this entire saga is that the absolute fucking lunatics we had to tolerate for the last 18 months have been proven right - the process was corrupt from beginning to end.
 

Every tinfoil hat suggestion that BeIN and the bigger clubs were lobbying to stop it from happening has been proven correct. Everything from the way the takeover eventually went through to the pant shitting that has followed bears it out. I’m genuinely quite offended at the laziness of the Premier League’s “we’ve found a miraculous resolution to the separation issue” about 12 hours after the piracy stuff was resolved. They think absolutely nothing of supporters.

 

As for those clubs whinging about reputational damage months after trying to fuck the league off entirely? I hope there’s an outbreak of salmonella at the next PL meeting and they shit themselves inside out.

 

 

 

 

If you weren't one of those lunatics then you were not only naive to the point of being a patsy, you don't even have the grace to admit you got it wrong and the lunatics were far more switched on than the Puke Edwards army.

A two-word definition of 'lunatic' = Logical Realist.

Sky there with clips from Dyche, Potter, Hasenhuttl all non-pulsed, & even positive (speaking of investment etc), about takeover. Tallies with all the noise coming from the super league lot, and a few of the rest laughing at the irony of it.

tbf, can't remember where it was but there was an article saying that the smaller clubs aren't really arsed. Spurs, Everton, Man Utd, West Ham and I'm assuming Liverpool will be the most up in arms about it. Man City and Chelsea probably don't care as they can spend big regardless.

Caught a bit of talksport on the way home before turning it off swiftly, Jack Wiltshire (remember him?) saying we hate Bruce because of the Sunderland connection and we'll only make at most 3 signings this January.

Darren Bent chipped in with a classic "they shouldn't go and get a top top manager now because it just wouldn't work"

How do you sell that to a decent manager? I know short contracts are a thing in professions...but footy managers? 

Only way it would work would be Rangnick and then he becomes sporting director in the summer. Unlikely to happen though

Do you have to have a degree in stupidity to become a pundit on talkshite? 

 

No Darren Bent, what won't work is sticking with a useless cunt of a manager. Fucking tit!

“It is chaos, complete and utter chaos” is how one well-placed observer described Newcastle United’s first week under their new owners.

 

It is understood that while PIF, which owns 80 per cent of Newcastle's shares, initially wanted to fade into the background, largely in order to manage expectations, it is keeping a watchful eye on everything. It intends to be an active investor rather than passive money provider and every decision is being questioned, scrutinised and then effectively decided by PIF.

 

Staveley, as well as Reuben, the other non-executive director, are also effectively on trial. Their new jobs are exciting and very visible, but they have begun with a probation period. The Saudis want to assess them and gauge whether they are capable of delivering what they want in terms of running the club on a day-to-day basis on their behalf.

 

There is no sense of division or animosity, even if the huge variety of names being linked to the jobs of manager, sporting director and chief executive is mainly down to the fact they all have different candidates in mind.

 

The new regime is trying to do things the right way, seeking advice from those with more detailed knowledge of English football, and the hope must be that things will settle down, as they did with Manchester City when they were taken over by their oil-rich state backers more than a decade ago. That situation was, as one source told Telegraph Sport, “exactly the same” as Newcastle are going through.

 

“There is no need to worry,” they added. “Things will settle down once they have the right people in place in the senior management roles.”
