Tough year for Dave Whelan. First Wigan go into administration and now his business empire is totally fucked. Thankfully he's alive to witness it all, the massive cunt.

Who the hell puts full cans in the bin ?

It’s incredible when you think about it. The PL could find absolutely nothing in the bid that would give them an excuse to block so they just wouldn’t make a decision or give a timeframe whilst all the while moving the goalposts. Just to keep the teams competing a closed shop. And most journalists are blaming the bidders.

ewerk will allow Margot Robbie to lick his bellend for the same terms he agreed with Scarlett Johansson, but is waiting for the Australian to drop her restraining order to enable him to progress to the next stage of the process.

Then my life changes for the better- more biscuits.

I hope he has a career ending injury if he goes to those cunts.

Aye, getting involved now it’s fucking done and dusted and the PL have been allowed to take the piss. Are we going to get some ‘closure’ now? Seriously, who gives a fuck?

Can you advise them they're a bunch of thundercunts please Troops? Ta.

Yup. I've been saying all along its ridiculous that there isnt a timeframe for the EPL to make the decision. This is exactly why there always is one, in any industry, which can be extended given certain conditions if the case becomes complicated. Now it seems they dont even have to explain the inaction that could turn out to be significant in the history of the club, the city, the region at large. It is just beyond belief. Also, funny how there is no discussion in the media about just how fair the league is now. This should have everyone connected to the sport asking why one particular club was not allowed the sort of investment plenty others already have. The sanctity of the sport, or whatever is left of it, should be in question here.

In that case, I take it back

He’s a balding big mouth cockney bastard.Mount still being praised to the hilt by the cockney press for doing nowt special,the big nosed over-hyped cockney bastard.

I guess it’s because he, like a lot of other writers, acts as if it is only a matter of time until he gets his overdue Pulitzer. A lot of journalists are narcissistic cry-babies who throw their toys out of the pram as soon as their investigative masterpieces or their godlike understanding of everything gets questioned. I know very few journalists who are capable of changing their narrative once they have made their mind up about something.

They can look forward to “their cup final” against the classiest club on the planet next year.

Reminds me of when my 3yr old wanted to be Arsenal and Mingenal. So proud.

It’s August...folk who’ve just had 4 months off work need a holiday Bournemouth is mobbed too...people getting off trains complaining of being packed like sardines in the carriages DON’T GET ON THE FUCKIN TRAINS THEN YOU ABSOLUTE WALLOPING FUCKIN IDIOTS

I really would like to listen to a dinner conversation at the Conways. ”How was your day darling? Enjoyed working for this blundering cheat? Did he grab your pussy again?”

Let's face it. This isn't going to change fuck all.

CANS

There are obviously things you would like to know about the buyers regarding their intentions and actions, too. The Saudis certainly made a lot of strange decisions that weren’t helpful at all. Maybe they wanted to spare embarrassment but maybe they just got pissed off and thought that it’s not worth the hassle. They also might actually have had fundamental objections against the state being seen as director and un that case wanted to have nothing to do with it. But it’s foremost down to the PL to explain their inactions as you would expect of a transparent organisation of the western world.

Echo what everyone else has said. Sorry to hear your news Dan. Definitely worth drowning the sorrows. Good luck getting through this shit time I’ve taken the lockdown cliche staycation holiday, taking in Somerset, Wales then up to the north east to see me mother next week. Been getting sozzled every night and avoiding the takeover fallout as much as possible. Couldn’t tell you what I’ve been drinking. Pretty much a bit of everything: pale ale, whisky, red wine, g&ts, old fashioneds, a few joints. Nailed some chemicals that I’ve had lying around for ages too.

Aye, he’s just a miserable cunt that just seems to want to point score as you say. He was correct about the BZG bid seemingly being a bit of a non-starter, rather than bother learning about this bid he just assumed it was exactly the same and is now gloating that he’s right (despite the fact he’s not at all, the deal was absolutely happening if the PL hadn’t fucked on). He definitely takes pleasure in winding fans up, but then can’t take an ounce of criticism or winding up back as he always just falls back on that he’s lived in the NE for 20 years then turns off comments for his next wind up attempt. I just hope people start treating him like they should treat the PL, just switch it off, don’t read his shite, or give him clicks. I’d say he’d be worth sticking with if he ever gave any good information, but quite frankly during the time I’ve paid any attention to him he’s not broken any new information that’s actually that relevant, or even given any good insight into something someone else has broke, and honestly it’s just all negative. I mean he’s currently bigging up a potential bid that he somehow finds more credible than the one that was actually in the O&D test despite the fact the bid was being said (pretty sure by him) to have been accepted by Ashley weeks ago just pending the Saudis failing the O&D test, so did that not happen weeks ago if they’re just talking about bidding now yet Ashley and Penfold are 100% committed to the Saudi bid (the hint here being it’s the only fucking bid).

A real meeting of the minds there. What a pair of complete wankers.

I’d like to have seen Lampard win today rather than those arsenal fan TV wankers.

I know some clubs have had decades of the doldrums, but 13 years of Ashleys reign has sucked the optimism and any hope out of this club and fanbase. I think I probably said the same last year but I couldnt care which league we ended up in, as long as there was something to fight for, as long as it wasn't to be a whipping boy for those at the top end of the table or just to fight relegation. Its bollocks.

I think we’ve been fairly exceptional in our last two relegations in perhaps benefiting the first time and then not being too damaged the last time. The former was due to retaining most of a PL squad and the latter was down to an Champions League winning manager offering his services to a club without the ambition to even think of approaching him. You just need to look at those derby rivals or any number of the likes of Sheff Wed, Coventry or even Leeds who took an age to get back to where they were. Anyone who thinks relegation might be a good thing next time can get on Ugly Mackems’ bus with the sad bastards who take a perverse pride in being super fans of a club that continually takes the piss out of them

Speaking of propaganda tools is another fantastic example of hypocrisy. They change the narrative as it does suit their agenda. They got free reign because the consortium pulled the plug and as the league not only refused to make a decision but also refuse to comment because of confidential issues, meaning only speaking as unnamed sources to selected journalists. The more I think about it the more I am convinced that the PL would have needed to approve the sale if they had applied their regulations, something they didn’t want to do. If the delay had been about the league to allow the buyers to adjust things to make an approval possible then the normal course of action would have been for the league to set a deadline stating that they would otherwise have to reject the takeover. Then it would have been for the buyers to rake the risk. But as they neither set a deadline nor even a timeframe it’s clear that they just waited for the problem to sort out itself. They got their wish and now do just sit around until nobody is bothering any more.

You have to love pompous journalists like this one. Does he seriously think human rights issues were really part of the PL’s consideration during testing? If they did the deal would have been rejected and they wouldn’t have deals with nations like Qatar, the owners of Leicester, Manchester City, and likely others would be on dodgy ground too. If they can’t see why Newcastle fans would see this all as hypocritical to bring up they’re off their map. The PL itself created this conspiracy by not making any sort of decision in over 4 months, by offering absolutely no insight into what is going on during and now after the process, but again pompous wankers like this bloke are aiming down sight at the fans again, as they have done during this whole process. So next time we play Manchester City can we expect the analysis and discussion around the game to be discussing how honorable NUFC is, that our money isn’t blood money like theirs, we deserve to win as we’re doing things the right way and don’t have disgusting human rights abusers for owners, or will it be a wankfest about how immense Kevin De Bruyne and Aguero are while they sweep us aside before they sign off with what do Newcastle fans expect, why are they so demanding, etc? That alone gives these sanctimonious pricks their answer of why people were willing to accept Saudi ownership.

A Saudi purchase of Milan and then taking Pep or Klopp plus a load of Sky Sports poster boy players would be a small slice of Karma .....................I feel very spiteful just now.

It’s one of the last ones

I know you can fight, but it’s our wits that make us men.

Aye, Mind, if you carry on using the term “staycation” you’re on my list of “will be eaten to death by seagulls”. We all have to pull together here, but stop it

I don't think it has been illegal because until recently (when they lost their appeal) bein had a valid license for Saudi Arabia which they must have obtained before the start of the conflict in 2017. As I understand it the PL has probably created the mess itself somewhat when they awarded the rights for the MENA region to bein early in August 2018 for another three years from 2019 to 2022. Even if bein did still possess a license to KSA back then it must have been clear that it was a disaster to happen. It couldn't have come as a surprise that bein lost its license to Saudi Arabia later that month (end of August 2018). That is when this mess should have been fixed at the earliest and might have prevented all this piracy malarkey.

Aye, get in a fight with a pissed up radge packet at last orders. That'll knock the pounds off you.

If something’s toxic then that’s probably the last thing you want to be doing tbh.

That was never going to work. The PL bundle these rights together for a reason, whether that is because it’s financially advantageous to do so or it’s just easier for them to manage that way. What SA was suggesting would have completely undermined that approach. It would have opened the door to any country who doesn’t missed out on the rights or didn’t like the rights holder to simply ban them from their airwaves and negotiate their own deal. The PL have fucked this takeover up big time but I can’t argue with them on this one.

Aye but he posted a gerrin about the mag takeover being off so therefore he’s a MLF. I can’t wait to hear about how he just has to move some money around and secure a few loans anytime they want to buy a player. Honestly man when will they fucking look at stuff objectively? There’s a reason everyone is worried about this Henry Mauriss, he seems completely full of shit and as things stand Ashley honestly does seem a better option, if he came out saying mackems are little paedo supporting tramps that shite on seats I’d still not be on board with the bloke.

So there it is, the dust has settled and we can now just continue to make up the numbers in the league and allow the top 6 to take all the trophys and money.

If there’s anything that the last 13 years have taught us it’s that we should be optimistic about the future

Sorry, Tom, I missed that last bit, how many divisions above them?

Excellent. After the way they went on yesterday I hope the cunts go bust & cease to exist. Is there another league one club swinging as high as them apropos “rivalry”? Most clubs realise they’re fucking shite and shut the fuck up. Ashley is the lowest ebb in our entire history and we're TWO DIVISIONS above them.

Shove it up your arse Charnley you odious little toad

The fact that the PL refused to give a time scale which was the final straw is deliberate cowardice.

Man city this man city that. We've had this shit for years. Yank businesses using their yank newspaper influence to print shit and set the narrative. You won't believe it because the smear campaign has gone so deep but city have been attacked by the uefa g14 clubs with all sorts of accusations, ALL based on "explosive" new evidence presented by der spiegal or the nytimes. Hacked emails doctored by reporters started the latest uefa ban. (I don't expect anyone to believe this its way beyond that) So I totally assume this is what has happened with nufc, the opposition and their media propaganda just do not want to compete with new money clubs. Fsg (and their past ownership of the nytimes), the American owners of United will have done everything to highlight whatever it takes to get this stopped. Given what city have done to upset the apple cart they just don't want more competition. I feel sorry for nufc because I fkin hate Ashley, but obviously I wanted Newcastle takeover to go ahead because its good for football, its been so much better than the days when ONLY United were allowed to win things, but most importantly it would have taken the heat off city, Soz, selfish, but we're totally sick of the cartel clubs dictating what happens.... Meanwhile United continue to have links to Saudi businesses sports investment Wtf!
