    I only said I’d heard it might even be announced before Monday ;) 

     

    Either way I’m too negative to believe it’ll happen. I’m more positive about the Almiron bit of what I was told. 

    Whey, if Atlanta want between £22m-£30m, and you're positive about that happening, surely that would mean Ashley fucking off? No way is he going to spend that in Jan.

    I’ve heard from what I think is a pretty reliable source that it’s all agreed and there was some internal staff meeting today. It may even be announced before Monday. He also said we’ve signed Almiron. 

     

    I’m still not getting my hopes up despite this :lol: but it is from someone who I’ve no reason to doubt tbh. 

    You still live local? I'm 18 on Friday, if this ends up being true I'll buy you many, many pints.

  3. I think a potential sale comes down to how sociopathic he is during negotiations. Rafa is gone if Ashley is still here at the end of the season. I think the two of them both know they see the club as different entities in terms of what it is and what it could be. If Rafa goes, for Ashley to want to carry on his shite of spending minimally to get PL safety, he'd need to spend significantly on the playing staff as the twat brought in as manager will be some clueless cunt. If that happens, relegation will surely happen and no PL and no Rafa would equal a major drop in both value of the club and advertising for his horrid company. I think right now would be the time to sell in terms of maximising profit for the club, but we're relying on the potential buyers not unearthing something that puts them off and upon a sociopath to not be a sociopath while it's going ahead. The chances of both happening at the same time and before it gets too late in January or even before Rafa leaves is what worries me about it, it's not about whether buyers are actually there like some on Twitter claim; Kenyon being complicit in some sort of wider Ashley-Bishop conspiracy to fool the fans. :lol: Unfortunately when he is in circumstances such as these takeover talks, you can never second guess the fat wanker.

    Definitely think 5 at the back would have better disrupted the West Ham attack. Congest the midfield and peg their fullbacks back. 

     

    That said, their two central defenders look very good, so had we set up in a system which reduced our own creativity we may not have had a sniff at all.

    We still created chances and if we were playing the more defensive 5 at the back system it would've had their centre halves out coming out from their low block and leaving space in behind. No idea how we're going to approach Wolves.

    Bournemouth, Watford, Burnley and now Everton have all applied a lot of pressure which we've withheld. Should we be more confident in Benitez' Newcastle seeing a game out?

    Yep. Think it's mainly to do with the formation tbh. Should've stuck with it for West Ham and let them have the ball. They murdered us on the break.

    There's no takeover happening it's a smoke & mirrors again. It really is staggering to think people believe anything that comes out of Ashleys mouth. 

    My point was uptake for the boycott was going to be feeble, just like it was for the walk in. If/when it's confirmed that it's all been bollocks appetite for a boycott will be far higher and more successful. Don't know why it's been so difficult for some to get their head around. The comment section on the Mag has them claiming that the MG and Alex Hurst (wtf) are both Tory Ashley collaborators ffs. :lol:

  7. Many have missed the point about it being postponed. It's sensible to wait until after the window closes. If the club isn't sold and players aren't bought protests will renew with some vigour and I'm sure more people will be willing to join in rather than the predictable feeble turnout for the planned boycott. It also prevents Ashley from blaming fan negativity should a takeover not materialise. People responding to TMG with vitriol doesn't bode well for the future, mind.

  8. The most predictable and likely scenario is it's more lies to attempt to justify no spending in January. We can all see through it. What's off about this though is him explicitly referring to January and him saying all of this himself as well as Luke Edwards' patter. You can't second guess the horrid fat wanker. Why parties are always 'interested' between October and February instead of April-August when our fate is already known also absolutely reeks.

     

    I'm desperately wanting it to be true, obviously. In an ideal world it'd be before Sunday as I want to go to the Wolves game and support Rafa and the team (not jeer subsititutions like the Colbackistas did to Perez on Saturday). Instead we're having to boycott.

     

    I believed the Staveley stuff. Never going to let myself be let down like that again. Until the "Club Statement - Sale of the club" tweet comes out from NUFC I'm under the assumption he's here till he dies. I'm proper sick of being sick of his bullshit.

  9. As pleased you can be with a defeat. Thought the first 10 minutes were ominous and outrageously sloppy, their first goal was horrendous from Lascelles. But we rid the storm and scored a nice goal from a lovely move, brilliant from Kenedy, Rondon and Yedlin. Thought Rondon plus Fernandez and Dubravka were superb and that Kenedy was back to being his old self slightly; taking pressure off of the defence when receiving the ball, shame he had to go off for whatever reason. A great strike won it in the end.

     

    No worries about relegation this year from me. Shame it can't be much more than that. Cheers Mike. :up:
