trooper

I'll tell you what nobody can accuse the Premier League of rushing this through anyway

So are we definitely getting rid of Ashley then ?

What's your gut feeling about this now lads. There seems to be more & more things getting thrown at it on a daily basis. Surely we cant get this close for it get rejected can it ? I'll be gutted if it does I've convinced myself that we'd seen the end of Ashley at SJP

The latest from .com Take Over Latest Thanks to everyone who has been in touch regarding our recent takeover update: Attempts to make sense of what is currently going on have resulted in nothing meaningful - although there's certainly substance to claims that other PL clubs aren't happy with the proposed deal. Whether that opposition in itself is enough to halt or derail the proposed purchase is another big unknown at this point. As a consequence, we're unable to say whether it's more or less likely to happen and the timescale for finding out - one way or the other - is a matter of guesswork. Clear as mud basically

Mike Ashley is ‘growing increasingly annoyed’ that the £300M takeover is not yet complete as he expected a deal to be finalised ‘at least two weeks ago’. [Daily Mail]

Please let this go through, for it to fail at this late stage would be horrible.

" That's how big it was when I checked for you"

Shall I delete the post Tom I dont wish to offend anyone mate

Wylam Brewery' have a new beer 6.3%

This week lads hopefully

Ashley will probably take the S.D. signs down from SJP & put them in storage to put up at the next club he buys.

The new club badge looks canny

Sky Sports say that Lee Charnley has indicated he would be willing to stay on for at least an initial period to help with the handover from Mike Ashley BUT that the new owners instead want him out of the door as soon as the deal is done. Oh dear what a shame

Just reading apparently Mane wants to be away from Liverpool. He's annoyed Klopp backed Van Dijk for the Ballon d'Or instead of him. He'd be a canny replacement for "Big Joe"

This man back at Newcastle with a free rein & an open cheque book. It's the stuff of dreams

This takeover bid seems so different than others that have been shrouded in secrecy. Its not that long ago were Ashley would throw his toys out the pram if anything was leaked to the media regarding any potential takeover. Yet this time it's almost being heralded in with a fanfare. The Daily Star are running with a story that Benitez has been offered the managers job. They say he's been given the freedom to bring in a football director and other powers. Essentially he'll be given a free rein. Please let this happen it's going to be brilliant.

I'm busy listening to this with a massive smile on my face. Fuck you Ashley the club is on the verge of rising from the ashes
