    I'm hearing from a mate that Ashley is in talks with Arabs to sell the Toon.
    Anyone heard anything?

    This surfaced a while back I think.
    I heard it was Jordanian money apparently.

    I heard it wss ISIS that have put it in a bid. They have yet to pass the Premier League fit and proper persons test but Ashley has told them if he can get through it anyone can.

    The owner of Ryanair apparently. Plans to sell season tickets at peppercorn prices, with the usual hidden add ons. Pay the price for your seat, but have to pay to get in the ground each game, have to pay for them to print and send out your ticket. You know, the usual.

    I heard Disney were looking to buy up the "franchise of Newcastleshire United" and then set up Euro-Geordie and Florida Geordieland. They're keen to bring in Buggs bunny and Michael Jordan for a partnership up front. John Carver will be kept on as coach.

    McDonalds looking to invest in the Mackems. Cheesy chips on the menu. Boring, unoriginal but true.

    Not a fan of using this kind of term, but.....OMG stop it with the takeover rumours. Ashley in takeAWAY rumours, perhaps.

    In Canada. Not in the land of mackem. It has a much classier "Cheesy Chips" moniker. If McDees want to sell cheesy chip to the Sunderland massive, they better not **** with the name. That's like trying to sell Escalope Parmesan in Teesside.

    Don't we hear these rumors every 3-4 weeks. Believe it when he eventually sells, could be tomorrow for all I know, could be the day he dies also.

    I wasn't talking about Sunderland, simply about you being such a fat bastard they recognised YOU as a city :biggrin:

    Good point of denial.
    Most Mackems never actually admit it given the state of the place.

    Mustafa look at the papers, see if there's anything in about a new buyer.
