    A club second only to Man Utd for highest average attendance in the second tier of English football.

    Clubs are terrified because they realise that a successful NUFC will blow them all out of the water.

    This cannot go unchallenged... Off the top of my head, 10 great films from the last 20 years in 10 seconds:

    Gladiator
    The Last Samurai
    Brotherhood of the Wolf
    Equilibrium
    V for Vendetta
    LOTR Trilogy Extended Editions (I'll count these as one - they're all great)
    Gangs of New York
    Zombieland
    Children of Men
    In Bruges


    And there are plenty more you grumpy people...

    It’s absolutely amazing how so many so called celebrities are so happy to prove their hypocrisy. Gary joins the list along side Keys et al to prove the theory that money talks.

    Rumour is that we're looking at Ian Ayre to takeover from Charnley.

    I like that the article also states :

    "The Amanda Staveley-led consortium on the brink of clinching a buy out of Mike Ashley remain confident that the Premier League will finish the Owners and Directors checks in the coming days and allow the takeover to go through... the group behind the bid believe that they are complying with the regulations and an announcement that they have passed the checks could come soon. That would set in motion announcements of their future plans."

    Next week. Since it is a consortium, the likely tests will be against Staveley and Reubens rather than PIF I should imagine. Its a formality.

    Of course it is, you only have to look at the companies house docs, it’s designed to invite no scrutiny of Saudi. They knew this **** was coming. Great to see one of those investors saying something.

    All the unnecessary worry from some. It's administration hold ups due to PL timescales. Nothing more.

    And simply posturing on the part of others. Hypocritical posturing by some such as Kasparov, Keys, BEin Sports to name just a few.

    Steve Wraith appears to be cryptically staking his reputation on a 1st May anncouncement.

    He's acting the most ITK I've seen of anyone so far, anyone know if he has form for doing this?

    Exactly. Trying to delay the inevitable. All in some respect linked to Qatar and the UAE - rivals to Saudi hegemony.
