New owner confirmed…

Just re-name the fairground 'linnet car park' and job done....

 

I just imagined a load of owld City fans being locked in a police cell for the night, getting out in the morning and making our way to Wetherspoons for a full English

 

I think "entertaining" would be one way of putting it haha

 

So. C'mon HT2. Has the old man shifted the goalposts yet?

 

Your business, OUR club.

 

Only once...

 

My business, my club. Until someone offers me a shed load more than I paid.

 

Not that I know, but to be honest I've not spoke to anyone since the game at the weekend as real life and my job has got in the way haha

 

They turn so quickly these owners don’t they

 

To be more succinct than one of my earlier posts:
****s, with very few exceptions!

 

Don't think Pearson is a billionaire by any stretch of the imagination. Had his fingers burnt three times, Hull FC. Derby and divorce. Cannot be a lot left now.

 

You'll probably relocate us to Norwich and change our name to Norwich Tigers.

 

Don't be silly. Though I might change the colours to yellow and green and rename us Hull Canaries.

 

Right, my Euromillions winnings will be getting invested somewhere else then.

 

Buying one pint of beer could be described as an investment I suppose.

 

One pint of beer is a waste of time.

 

A Saudi Arabian takeover of Newcastle United is close to being agreed.

Approval from the Premier League could possibly come in the next 24 hours after the consortium proved the Saudi state would not have control of the club.


Instead the Public Investment Fund (PIF), which is set to provide 80% of funds for the £300m deal, will be seen as separate to the state and therefore allow the takeover to pass the Premier League owners' and directors' test.

It was believed that a resolution came because Saudi Arabia settled an alleged piracy dispute with Qatar-based broadcaster beIN Sports, which own rights to show Premier League matches in the Middle East.

But sources have told BBC Sport that an agreement between the Premier League and the consortium was found prior to the news emerging on Wednesday, despite the two parties being set for arbitration on 3 January.

The Saudi Arabian state has been accused of human rights abuses, but with the majority owner PIF deemed a separate entity that is no longer an issue in the Premier League's view.

The Premier League and Newcastle have declined to comment.

Hmm, heard that before.

 

I think you just misunderstood. No worries though.

 

Buying one in your case could be described as a miracle I suppose

 

It would be my pleasure to buy you a pint of H2s04.
