Is that a hybrid term for champagne at the end of the campaign?

As long as its cold and Ellis Short is history, its going to be a good day to be on the drink

Keano is coming home - imagine the size of his beard when he sees what he has to fix!

 

[Black Cat Gypsy]

Bloody hell, we'll have all those Irish suits throwing their money around in the pubs. If I saw one I used to just stand next to them at the bar always got me a few pints that did !

Charlie Chawke and Louis Fitzgerald.

 

[Ageing Grey Mackem]

I’d very happily go back to those days mate. Marty as Director of football, Keane as manager and JOS on the coaching staff.

As unlikely as that scenario is, by God it’s good to have something to hope for, a possible light at the end of a Short but dark tunnel.

He’ll need it to frighten Rodders into f***ing off....in fact I’d imagine Rodders would wrap his hand as soon as Keane was appointed.

How much dosh has he got?

Almost impossible to tell. The O'Brien group is an unlimited company. What that means is that there are literally no filing requirements for its accounts beyond his own personal tax returns. Without that data, it's almost impossible to put a net worth on him. Given the scope and scale of the business's operations, it's not going to be a small number. What it will also mean is that he'll be a careful investor. With an unlimited company, you're personally liable for the whole of your company's debt, and you can't be too gung-ho about things.

Close the door on your way out Mr Short.

Far too sensible an answer for my liking

It all sounds positive, back to being hopeful again

 

[careless6365]

O’Briens have connections to Sage too going off their website. Hasn’t the bloke from Sage been mentioned too? Could be something in it.

I would be surprised, as a close friend of mine know the guy at Sage.

Seemed to indicate he was a big Newcastle fan.

Goodbye Ellis Short, time to hand over the key's and take Martin Bain with you.

 

[viccarlton]

Maybe this is why Coleman stated he would like to be here next season knowing that something was on the cards and that he would be shipped out in favour of the new owners?

He is, best mates with Shearer through his ownership of close house.
Don’t think this would get in the way of a business opportunity though.

Right I'm off off for a Guinness

John Hall was a Sunderland season ticket holder iirc. Doesn't mean a lot, really.

We need Cheeses Of Nazareth to put Gandalf's beard on Roy Keane's face !

 

[BIG BAZ]

The return of mad dog Keano ??
