    I find it staggering how so many people think a corporation worth hundreds of billions, wouldn’t do their due diligence on the approval process.

    I still suspect it's actually already approved. PL have stated more than once they will not be the ones to say it's complete. Anybody in KSA believes it was completed last week.

    I think we're actually waiting on a new manager/DoF/player to sign, or any combination of the above.

    Like a bunch of shady chancers. ****ing hell even Mike probably did an assessment of the process and he's a ****ing barrowboy <doh>

    I'm sure this will all get pushed through eventually, there is not exactly a major rush on it at present...

    The pandemic has simply afforded them some manoeuvre/planning time most likely. Be daft not to take advantage.

    Have you noticed how quiet it has gone on the sporting director/dof front?!

    Aye. Possibly due to the news about the piracy crap giving people the opportunity to kick the poor Geordie nation! They love to kick us down!

    Usually a good sign I reckon, they tend to do their business in complete privacy. Normally wouldn't stop the gutter press speculating/making **** up but maybe our prospective owners have told them not to or they'll chop their hands off? :huh:

    The DoF lack of rumour shows up what the press are all about. Who clicks on a Garry Cook as CEO, or Michael Zorc as Sporting Director rumour? Not the thick masses. But they sure love a Rafa return or £20m contract for Poch story.

    Take it you don't understand again?

    That account is just sending a picture of a Saudi Arabia newspaper.

    No? It's a job role not a position on the board
