Loads of people on other forums around the internet saying it was all agreed over the curry i'm not so sure & think there's a very big gap thats getting wider by the day.

I admire your confidence but atvthis moment in time i'm not. Some people were saying its a done deal after the curry night. If it is/was why not anounce it

Thats what i mean she'll be wondering if its worth the money they've offered & could retract it due to our league position now. you've got to remember when news of a revised offer came in last week we were something like 14th. Everyday the value of the club will be falling in Stavely's eyes as our league position worsens.

I'd imagine in Amandas eyes we're in the relegation zone.She's got a very strong hand now if West Ham get a draw today we drop another place

I can see Amanda walking away from us. We were 6th when negotiations started it's all down to Amanda & does she wantvto chance paying for a Championship team that could very well be back in the Championship.

It now looks a distinct possibility given our form & league position this is our form since 24th September against Brighton i'm sorry but it doesnt look pretty ... L-D-D-W-L-L-L-L-D-L-L-L-L Those stats are shocking & i suggested a couple of weeks ago this was begining to feel like the McClaren season. It feels more like it now i think Benitez is running out of ideas regarding the team. Some might say that he's got us playing good football thats a fair comment. But unfortunatley we're not scoring many/enough goals & the keeper situation at the other end isnt much better. We now face the prospect of our 3rd relegation under Ashley unless this takeover happens in fact it would be our 3rd in 7 years 2nd in 3 years thats scandlous for a club with the history we have in fact it's an insult & just shows the mismangement we've had for a decade under Ashley.were this will end is anyones guess at the minute there are a few scenarios 1.)The takeover goes through Rafa is given X amount of £ millions for players 2.)The deal falls through we're stuck with Ashley 3.)Rafa disgusted in lack of funds in Januay window walks away 4.)The club is relegated under Pullis or some other type These are pretty desperate times for the club & all of us are hoping for scenario 1.) I'm not sure if i've the stomach for another relegation so soon what does everyone think ? I know there'll be some of you saying "There's Trooper being negative Norman again" but to quote Rafa "we are were we are" & we'revin big trouble

If West Brom draw today we're down to 19th. Stavely will probably think £200 million is a generous offer i wonder how PCP rate our relegation this morning given it was 65% before yesterdays game. i wouldn't mind betting they're now thinking 75/80%. Take the money & run fatboy run.

I wouldn't be surprised if Stavley withdrew the offer & offered less take it our leave it the way results are going & our league position

We may not have took a hiding in terms of goals but we were given a hiding in possesion.

Mitrovic out with a back injury i think we've seen the last of him in a NUFC shirt

I'm expecting a hiding today 4-0

Oops your right what a divvy i am

"The team is now just a point above the relegation zone and, according to those familiar with the discussions, PCP has estimated that Newcastle has a 65 per cent chance of relegation. Unless concessions are made soon, a deal may not be completed before the next transfer window closes in January, warned those familiar with the discussions, meaning that a new owner would need to wait until next season before investing in new players." Dont think so Quiffy me old mate

Would a £100 million relegation clause be a fair estimation ?. Also Rafa said today he's met with Charnley but wont know the transfer budget until Xmas.

Not as close as was first reported apparently the Chronicle are saying 65% of PCP (who ever they are) think the club might be relegated this eeason

According to what Sky Sports were reporting last night

If it doesn't happen now he'll put a massive spin on it, he'll be back on Sky Sports "they wanted me to gamble a£100 million on not going down. Now i like a flutter as you know but even that was too much for me" That way he paints Amanda & PCP as the bad guys he's an absolute b'stard i thought we eere going to be rid of him now im jot so sure.

The Michael Martin tweet got my attention first. But the Sky Sports running with the relegation clause still in place has got me thinking. If we were relegated ( i dont fancy it again) it would mean Amanda could potentially get the club for £200 million something the fat lad will never allow.

Some people suggesting the "relegation clause" could be worth nearly £100 million. That could be the shortfall of the tv revenue money £100 million in the Premiership as oppose to £5/6 million in the Championship.

If he fcuk's this up i think i'll cry

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11678/11170842/newcastle-relegation-compensation-clause-a-sticking-point-in-takeover-deal Gulp best get that champagne put back

This tweet from Michael Martin It would appear yesterday's news splash about an imminent takeover was put about by Ashley's PR. It's miles off

Ah right lads my bad
