    PIF aren’t going to invest as sponsors mate, ffs. And if a Reuben was interested, this would have have happened last Summer or Xmas at the latest.

    The only hope I have of a takeover is Mike Ashley asking for a lower, reasonable amount.

    And I somehow wrote that with a straight face.

    The fact mbs is chairman was already known for goodness sake..

    If demarco thought he could get around that before this then this makes no difference whatsoever..

    Which is why I think we need to this time. All his chicken are coming home now and he’s about to lose another fistful on this club. He can’t be unhappy, it’s entirely his own fault.

    More died in Dubai, plenty in Riyadh. None of this has any bearing on anything.

    We're going to stay up and this takeover will go through..

    Money > human rights

    The premier league will yield once the ban is lifted in Saudi

    It's karma. All those years that he has ****ed with us. He saw a pot of gold last year and its been replaced with straw.

    He is about to lose a ****load of money and I am absolutely delighted.

    I mean who gives a **** about human rights over there anyway?

    People pretend they do just like they pretend they do when they see a starving child in Sudan on the news... They care for about 10 seconds and then they cook some tea.

    Only thing that keeps me going mate. I really want his club relegated (sure as hell isn’t my club anymore) just so I can laugh at all of them. I’ll be back into the club the very second it’s sold but now I’m supporting every other club. Howay the Fulham.

    Yes it's old news and doesn't I wouldbt imagine alter the case they'd built. I don't think it will help, but it doesn't mean the evidence de Marco has doesn't count.

    When I was in Dubai, I was told how migrant workers complained about heat with many dying from heat strokes and exhaustion. They put a law in place saying if temperatures past 50 degrees, work is stopped. Miraculously, temperatures on building sites never went beyond 49....

    Numbers of migrant deaths are wildly different from the numbers of missing Indians and Pakistanis who went to Dubai to find work yet weren’t heard from again.

    The whole middle east is ****ed up. Corrupt yo the core. But then so is the UK, China, USA, Russia and all those other countries that have some stake in a PL club.

    If Staveley wins her case, she is about to become a very wealthy woman.

    We go down, she buys NUFC on the cheap, we come back, PIF or some other wealthy investor jumps on board, invests and the club pushes on. Money rolls in and everyone is a winner.
