Apparently this Henry Mauriss chap is a massive Totenham fan "cough cough"

The Newcastle saga rumbles on, and it’s good to see one or two of the Nationals catching up with what I’ve been telling them about the deal. “Here’s the latest. The Saudi’s will try again after shooting themselves in both feet. I originally said one foot – but it was both. Hiring Phillip Hammond to lobby is part of the new strategy although why they’ve chosen him I don’t know. He’s about as popular in the Tory party as I am in Newcastle! “I still can’t work that out mind you – all I’ve ever done is tell you all the truth and I’m the only one prepared to do that. Surely you can see that now? “Henry Mauriss is still at the table. If he wants it – it’s an open goal. Ashley is a willing seller – Mauriss has to get his deal done. Simple. There you go. “As your beloved Rafa might say ‘facts’.”

Breaking News People who test positive for coronavirus or show symptoms in the UK must now self-isolate for 10 days. The change, announced by the UK's four chief medical officers, comes as ministers try to avoid a resurgence of the virus. Until now, those showing key symptoms - a new continuous cough, a temperature or loss of taste or smell - have had to self-isolate for at least a week. The new advice is in line with World Health Organization guidance.

Bruce has a half eaten kebab & some cabbage leaves in his pockets

That'll be it then

I wonder how the ZOOM Call between Ashley & Bruce went yesterday ? I'm reading over on N.O. that Bruce is furious about something.

A third of a year & we're still no nearer a decision, its pathetic.

Shirley the first couple of questions of the O&D test would have been whose buying the club ? Also who'll be running it ? For this to be holding things up 4 months in is amateurish by the PL.

"Aye Maxi's a canny lad he's gannin nee were,except to the kebab shop to get me an extra large donna with chilli source.

This will be Bruce when Ashley zooms him with the "summer war chest" on Wednesday

"Reason it hasn't gone through is PL know they can't allow it to" "PL under pressure from 'other sources' to approve it" (guess he means the UK Gov) "Newcastle may have a new owner, but it wont be the one on the table" (the Saudis)

Big Andy 19 appearances (15 as sub) scored no goals & for that he gets a 1 year extension Big Joe 32 appearances (6 as sub) 2 goals well worth £40 million F 38 A 58 GD minus 20 Never mind at least "7 teams finished below us"

Alan Shearer talking about the ongoing Newcastle United takeover farce on Match of The Day: "It is not fair on him [Steve Bruce]. “It is not fair on the football club. “It is not fair on the fans. “He [Steve Bruce] doesn’t know whether he is going to be shopping in Lidl or Harrods for next season. “So a decision needs to be made. “It has to be doubtful because it has taken that long now. “Whatever it is, they need to make a decision and to let the football club know what is happening. “They have got six weeks until next [2020/21] season starts.”

Bruce = Pardew. Perfect for Ashley, fucking awful for the fans

Bruce after the game "We've taken the lead against them twice this season and it gives you something to hold onto. For large parts of the first-half we defended very well. We had a hunger and a desire I couldn't fault but in the end we just weren't quite good enough." No shit Sherlock. Shame about small parts of the first half & all the second half really

2 points from the last 6 games

And theres more Steve Bruce says that he has a further call with Mike Ashley scheduled for Wednesday. Mike Ashley call was via a Zoom conference with the entire squad and staff straight after the game.

Bruce got a call from Ashley "He wanted to say thank you to all my players and staff for the hard work and effort and to enjoy the summer. What he reiterated was it's in the hands of the Premier League and it's been like that for weeks. We need a decision and one quickly. How long do we need to make that decision? All I want is what's best for this great club. If new owners come in and take the club forward that's what we all want as Newcastle fans. We're disappointed that we faded a bit at the death [in recent weeks]. We're disappointed not to overtake last year's tally. But if someone said at the start of the season would you be happy to finish with seven teams below you, we'd have taken that. But that's not enough. We want to push for the top 10 on a regular basis and not look over our shoulders"

Season done, nothing to stop the Sheikover now is there ?
