    Yeah but So'ton were being competently run. Our owner was already useless and is now utterly absent. Nobody knows what's happening, there are no budgets, recruitment is free transfers only. The PL is ****ing Newcastle up the arse, and enjoying it, every day.

    If you want my bet on when a takeover happens - if at all - I'd go for after the transfer window shuts. Just so we all have to "respect the PL's authoritah".

    8 months would mean no transfers in and potential relegation in their 1st season ... it really isn't acceptable

    No, 8 months means they won't buy the club and will start again at some point with West Ham.

    PL chief executive Richard Masters hopes that the owners' and directors' test for the proposed Newcastle takeover will be concluded 'shortly'.

    Most positive quote to come out of them, "shortly" for me means a week or two. Few I's to dot, T's to cross and #Cans to open

    Someone just needs to push him close to a naked flame. All that hair is making him act like a tit.

    And Masters said: “BeoutQ is now off the air, and what we want, off the back of the WTO report, is for Saudi Arabia to respond positively the situation and to allow sports rights-holders to take their rights.”


    ITS HAPPENING

    Yeah this is happening. Don't know when but all the pl want is their pound of flesh. Fair enough. Hopefully the delay doesn't **** us up in the long term, which is my concern now.

    Masters have by stealth said - We want this, we need the Saudi's to show that they have addressed piracy. By doing so, thevtest will be concluded shortly.

    The Saudi's have done this. Masters reiterated cobfidentiality and objectivity. It's about what the Saudi's can do for Newcastle United. Will any action they take impact adversely on the club financially.

    I liked his separation of political and moral arguments in the earlier exchanges too. Particularly when the chair brought up slavery in Qatar.

    Masters use of the word objective is the key. For me, he hinted that it is a yes provided the Saudi's demonstrate effective action and remedy for piracy.

    I took from it that the questions to be asked are:

    1) Will these owners act in a way that is fit and proper for the good of the Premier League, it's members and the clubs.

    2) Will these owners act in a fit and proper way towards Newcastle United, the city, fans and history of the club.

    He gave a very subtle hint. Good news is coming.

    Demonstrating yet again that you don’t need brains or intelligence to be an MP.
