Newcastle Utd (and Viz)

[1874]

Hopefully the idiots fall flat on their face.

I may be wrong but two things stand out

Firstly, the deliberate courting of publicity surrounding the bid by the would be buyers before it has even got across the line, rather like their bid for Liverpool in a way, and so markedly different to the way City's owners shocked the footballing world by only announcing it when it was done.

Secondly this courting of publicity and saying they've proved the funds are there smacks of the recent unsuccessful late bid at Bolton recently, although admittedly by a disreputable buyer, he claimed the funds had been proven to be there and the forms were with the EFL.

This could all be legitimate and everything is as they say but I tend to agree with the football takeover specialist I heard on the radio at lunchtime, that this is still far less than certain and possibly less than 50/50 it'll all go through.

Very true.

Moshiri arrived pretty much out of the blue too if I remember correctly?

Completely.

I’m getting the increasing feeling that a gang of bricklayers from Sunderland are taking the Geordies and Mike Ashley for a ride here.

Carroll and Wellbeck for the toon. 5 matches of bravado followed by months of regret.

Some American baseball bloke was apparently buying us, that fell through and then BOOM Moshiri appeared the very next day.

That’s how I remember it anyway

Checked all the links and there's absolutely no repuatbale link or evidence of what they do.

Is it just me, or are the pictures of Sheikh Khaled different people?

That's a Young Conservative stag do in Basildon.

This is what happens when a paper lets the intern write a "story".

Or they let @Zatara or @CRIMHEAD write it lol
Imagine getting FIFA 19 to do your transfers

That's the way I remember it too
Usmanov seen the Yanks sniffing about, panicked ,bought Moshiri's shares off him and packed him off to Finch Farm to get the deal done

 

[perth_blue]

Coming across as a dragged out transfer rather than a very expensive and important business deal.

First one is a one cheek sneak. Second is the realisation of the follow through.

 

[MikeH72]

Where are we up to with the whole Newcastle surpassing us thing then lads?

 

[Chris O'Connor]

According to today's Newcastle Chronicle newspaper Mike Ashley is apparently prepared to play the long game over this Sheikh Khalid bid.

We all know where that usually leads on past form

....the long road to nowhere

Could not be more off. Laugh at the bedwetters and lock the thread.
