I'll also be amazed if the new owners don't offer a few deals to encourage absent supporters families and kids back through the turnstile, if it is the Turkish chap who is in the mix ( which I'm pretty confident it is) let's not forget he knows football, he knows what the fans want, and will do everything in his power to get them onside, unlike our current owners who think the fans to be an annoyance !
Be intresting to see if the new owner's sack McCann straight away or do a Newcastle and give him one game(home) so we can wave goodbye to him.
History tells me that if your starting point is that the owners are ****s, you'll seldom go far wrong.
please log in to view this image They've already got the sign banning McCann and the Allams from the first game they're in charge
The version I heard is the one where he was 'invited to discuss a more equal partnership' in the SMC but as he knows he already has the sweet end of the deal (signed by himself as SMC owner) he wasn't interested.
Anyone coming in will have a lot to do in order of priority - so don't expect too much too soon. They're in it for the long term if what we've been told is to be believed.
I wonder what the new owners will make of City paying for free Hospitality for the egg chasers each match, so they can court the council to favour them.
I hope they are in it for the long haul, however one of the first things they will look to address is the discord between fans and club that has developed over the Allam tenure, I'm pretty certain they'll be well aware of that and attempt to get fans onside very quickly.
Here's hoping, though you'd expect them to address the coaching structure and make key appointments surrounding other aspects of the business first. Guess it all depends how prepared they are at the time the sale completes.
Myself and four mates have committed to returning to the first home game, whoever we are playing, with the possibility of that snowballing to maybe seven. Now being positive for once, I do wonder how many people are in the same boat? I don't want to make a guess, because I think it's impossible to predict, but **** it, 15 thou! Some of you guys put me to shame, as I'm only a half hour walk away from the stadium
