    This is one of the worst clickbait uses of the word "takeover" so far. Not you, Chaos, but the Chron. We're no more likely to be taken over by Michael Dell than the mackems are about to be bought by Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos.

    FWIW I think our club will eventually be bought by a US consortium.

    Possibly, but I'm checked out on it. It's just atypical Mike Ashley bullshit. If there's a ****ing annoying, frustrating and unapologetically horrendous way to do something, he'll find a way to do it.

    It was sad reading about death threats for Steve Bruce. It's abhorrent to do that kind of thing - does anyone really want him to die just because he's a bit crap as a football manager? It's ****ing pathetic. Mike Ashley, on the other hand.....

    This thread should be closed by one of the moderators. How are we going to get the other one up to 2000 pages if we open competing ones?

    This IS a fakeover. I repeat this IS a fakeover.

    The other thread was a Mistakeover. I repeat it was a Mistakeover.

    Any reference to the word takeover in either thread should be met with sheer ignorance.

    The trick is to stop replying to it so that it stops getting bumped back up to the top of the thread list <ok>

    Well it's here sooner than I expected

    Redball Corp looking at buying nufc

    I know most about them, but they're worth around 8 or 9 billion I believe.

    That would do.. Tbh anyone with a few few billion will do

    Yep, I thought something like this might happen, noticed their name pop up about two weeks back. Great news. And real, which is a bonus.
