    Yep, I hope so... First benchmark is end of January transfer window, with ins and outs.. together with results and manner of playing under new(ish) manager.

    Boxing day and no footie to go to... seems wrong..

    It'll be fine. I believe the EFL get involved twice. Once is just to do the fit and proper persons test (officially called the owners and directors test iirc). I think when some said the deal was at the EFL this was the bit they meant as it could be completed at any time even when the final level of shareholding hadn't been agreed. There are disqualifying conditions but KLD would likely sail through it.

    The second bit is likely when the full deal is presented to them including details of the business plan and how it will all be funded. If they think it would put the club at risk, and if the source of the funding isn't clear, then there could be a problem. That's highly unlikely here given KLDs wealth. Its very obvious where the money would come from, and I think it highly unlikely that they won't have a clear, fully costed business plan. The EFL approved whatever plan and funding Donald had, KLD will piss it. I'd say there's a 99.999% chance it'll go through. The EFL might be a set of arseholes but it's a tough time for their clubs and I think they'll welcome all the billionaire owners they can get, it's one less club for them to have to worry about.

    It's because shops, restaurants, shops, nightclubs and shops are what the wives & girlfriends, of wealthy young men, want above all else.

    They know most will never win trophies so they want the 'glamour' that comes with money.

    Newcastle, despite loads of pubs and a busy Friday night, suffer from the same problem as us ...

    ... being stag night central may appeal to students and locals but it's too low rent for the WAGS.

    I'd guess they choose them for how they look in expensive underwear ...

    ... rather than their appreciation of beautiful windswept beaches and countryside tbh.

    I used to drink in the Bigg Market every Saturday night and once saw Lee Bowyer in Flares nightclub (whilst he was playing for Newcastle), went over to speak to him and was warned off by 3 big burly bouncers who I then realised were surrounding him. Must have been slumming it, curious as to how the great unwashed lived <laugh>

    Aye but you could be moving to Australia though and they’re a lot more inbred.

    Once they’ve seen The Bridges and Jacky Whites then they’ll be moving up to Sunderland in a shot. Mark my words!

    We're so isolated here they provide tazers to the post women for when they're delivering to some of the more remote villages <laugh>

    It’s interesting that KLD’s statement refers to co-operation over the last 3 months, and this thread started 5 months ago? Indeed it’s also 5 months since Nick Barnes tweeted about period of exclusivity.

    Maybe reading too much into it (as always), but it does feel more likely that the original takeover being mooted on here (with Furman) may have fallen through or not happened etc and then KLD stepped in as a back up?

    Or alternatively KLD has been involved for 5 months but is only willing to thank Donald with how he’s behaved for the last 3 :D

    Well ya bugga I’m last to this news as usual, I’m sure I must have been one of the last people to hear the sad news about the Princess of Wales (11.30 am on the Sunday) if my memory serves me correctly.
