    You know things are up **** street when even the journos don’t even think it’s worth talking about.

    Hope I’m wrong mind!

    There are a lot of flip flops out today - maybe it is the great weather

    Definitely something to do with the current climate.

    Correct we do. For the next 4 years.

    Manq I accept is an average perm footballer so it’s a good deal.

    But It does make you wonder what is happening with the TO!

    Question - what's worse than Mike Ashley?
    Answer - Mike Ashley pulling all of his "owed" money out and only allowing free transfers because he's sick to ****ing death of the club.

    Newcastle United, June 2020 - Andy Carroll contract and Mark Gillespie on a free to replace Rob Elliott.

    The beauty of a takeover is it never really ends. We can keep pretending it's got to be "mathematical safety" or end of season, but the overwhelming evidence suggests there is no takeover and that trader bloke who deals with PCP who said "eh? takeover? thought that died early May" was probably the only factual statement we ever had.

    Honestly think it still will go ahead but I’m buggered if I can work out why it’s now dragging.

    Every obstacle that has been (apparently) put in the way has either been addressed or has expired/gone away.

    The Chron is putting up articles of Yasir Al Rumayyan talking about Coronavirus, which again has no bearing on NUFC and the PIF are so large there's got to be someone, somewhere willing to say something. However, in the middle of this ****ty article we have the quote "Al-Rumayyan has not spoken publicly about the bid". Seriously, this doesn't set off an alarm bell somewhere? We're talking about Ashley desperate to sell, PIF with £250bn available, and we're pretending that this NDA is utterly binding? Bollocks!!

    If the PIF came out tomorrow and said "yeah, we want to buy it, just waiting on the PL" what would happen? Ashley's going to say "YOU BASTARDS BROKE MY NDA, THE DEAL IS OFF"??? Rubbish.

    Why TUPE? They would still be employed by the same company.

    I was wearing my flip flops yesterday it was hot. What’s wrong with them. Do you have a problem with my flip flops!

    Given it’s off, should we just close this thread and get back to hating Ashley?
