    What has the colour of the car got to do with anything? Hopefully it wasn't a black person driving the car - racist!! :bandit:

    Getting sick of this now. If that fat **** doesn't sell the club you can see Rafa leaving and us ending up with ****ing Steve Guppy as manager.

    So the usual Twitter check has revealed:

    - A helicopter belonging to MASH landed at Newcastle this afternoon.
    - Chronicle believes Ashley was due at the training ground, but no planned meetings
    - Allegations of a meeting in London taking place earlier today

    But as of the time of writing, nothing more to report. Stay tuned for more pointless rumours and ****e later; I absolutely guarantee another Twitter ITK will have some details as to what Ashley did at the training ground....

    Question for you lot - why is nobody within the club actually saying anything? Of course, nobody has to say anything they dont want to, but there is surely nothing stopping Bob Moncur, for example, from saying what the **** is going on.

    Correct me if I'm wrong here, but any NDA would extend purely to the owner and the buyer, i.e. St James Holdings (Mike Ashley and Eacotts Accountants) and PCP Capital or Cantervale (Amanda Staveley and Craig Eadie). Unless Mike made everyone within the club sign the agreement too, it makes no sense. Take Jamaal Lascelles, for example - he's hardly going to be ****ing SACKED if he comes out and says "chill, there's actually no takeover" or whatever. And the players must have a sniff, some idea of roughly where things are at.

    It's really, really ****ing odd.

    Nda’s are often company to company mate.
    They are very explicit so employees are probably scared to speak for fear of breech.

    I am genuinely convinced that it is not going to happen.

    Mike Ashley is well known to revel in making a twat out of people. He did it to KK, Shearer, Houghton and every single NUFC supporter and he continues to do it with Rafa. It has also been stated that he can be notoriously difficult to deal with. Just when you think that you have an agreement he will throw in a curve ball and scupper the whole thing........................... now that may be fine and dandy when dealing with 3rd world sweat shops who are going to make your shoddy sports goods for next to **** all or a few dopey ex footballers or whilst haggling over a shop lease in some run down toilet of a town centre..................... but he's dealing with proper bona-fide business professionals here who will not be ****ed about and who will not stand for his nonsense and who will not dance to his bare chested, drunken tune.

    Mike Ashley is the perfect man to **** this deal up, take us down, allow Rafa to walk, set us into the footballing wilderness, completely destroy the very fabric of the club and blow his whole investment in the process.................. because he feels the need to get his own way, because he is used to getting his own way by employing no-marks like Charnley and Wise and Lambeeze and 'Pards' and Carver and because he seems incapable of learning the very basics of operating and running a football club and makes the same mistakes over and over and over again and because he is a fat arrogant twat that treats the club, the staff and the fans like a piece of **** on a pair of his cheaply made Puma trainers.

    Mark my words Ashley WILL be the issue here.

    I’m going to make a further prediction:

    Not only will the deal not happen (see sweepstake thread) but also the rumours will drag on until the day after season ticket renewals are due.

    Then it will be officially announced that it’s off.

    That should read "We are getting relegated and will sell Jamall Lascelles."

    No, I get that - but in this case the company that outright "owns" Newcastle United is St James Holdings, which has two registered directors. I mean, it could well be that the whole payroll are under the same company, I guess, in which case everyone right down to the u-9's coach would have to sign something.

    But here's the thing - anyone within the club could very easily say "sorry, I signed a document so can't possibly comment". That, I believe, is allowed. But the press, everybody with any connection to the club, has said nothing. At all. Are they being asked? I've seen nothing from the press to suggest they've pressed, say, Charnley or Moncur on the subject. Surely the journo's either ARE doing that, or should be?

    Silence is often deafening around SJP under Ashley, but this time it's taking the ****ing piss.

    It’s not happening. People need to realise this and move on. We are stuck with the fat twat

    i've been waiting for someone to mention season tickets
    I am a 5 year season ticket holder and my ticket runs out at the end of this season along with a few thousand others i suspect.
    So what's in store for us at the end of the season, why would fans want to renew their season tickets under this regime
    having been lied too time and time again - anyone remember that there was two 5 year plan (s) yes there was two of them, 1 of them didn't last 5 year before he brought out another, the failed transfer deadline days of previous seasons, this magical line that no one seems to be able to cross
    the broken promises to managers, the pathetic TV interviews "I'm not leaving until we win something" bullshit
    he has said and done this all before, saying he was selling up and not spending on players

    well for me to commit again it would have to be very good offer like Ashley to piss off altogether

    special mention must go to Charnley, Ashley's little Teflon Gopher, the only guy that seems to buy into Ashley's policies
    never a word from him yet he is the figurehead of the Club
    more pressure needs to be put onto him as he attends the games, and Ashley doesn't
