Newcastle ufc (May 2019)

it's a f***ing funny old game mind...

one minute you're lording it over your yoyo club neighbours after 10 consecutive years of top flight football..
revelling in an unprecedented 6 in a row derby victories.
putting the final nail in their failed relegation battle.
mercilessly mock the pub league.
pissing yourselves laughing at their vindictive owner and the wongadome.

then in the blink of an eye...
you finish rock bottom of two leagues in consecutive years and plummet to the third tier of english football for only the second time in your history.
attain your lowest ever league place finish.
develop an absolutely bizarre and bitter rivalry with a club over 300 mile away on the south coast.
an ex Newcastle player at fleetwood town manages to oversee your last hopes of automatic promotion.
an ex Newcastle player at charlton confines you to a second consecutive year in the third division.

and there's rumours your owner hasn't got a pot to piss whilst Newcastle might be getting sold to a bloke with £18bn.

chin up lads, least there's no work till tuesday!

:)

So you should know that it can all change in the blink of an eye. Now climb back on your sister.
 
Would scum attract players like City got? Cant see it tbh

The plan will surely be to replicate exactly what Man City did, as a textbook almost. To begin in 08/09 City made a few "marquee" signings like how they immediately nabbed Robinho, but at first mostly pinching expensive players from their rivals like Lescott and Gareth Barry etc to increase the overall quality of the squad - then once they establish in the top 4 they had the clout to attract seriously big name players like Aguero etc. If the owner really is one of the UAE ruling families, Newcastle will become Man City and a very short space of time - was only three years from takeover to league title for Man City.

Assuming he really is a real sheik and not a fake sheik of cours.e

Why would you even come on a rivals message board. Fair enough take the piss on your own forums as we do with you lot, but continually coming on a rivals board is really rather sad behaviour
 
The mail are now carrying the story with a quote from an unnamed representative.

The closest working associate to Sheik Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan told Sportsmail on Sunday night that a deal is 'concluded' between Mike Ashley and Sheik Khaled, an Emirati member of the family who govern Abu Dhabi.

The representatives also insisted that the prospective new owner is very keen to keep Rafa Benitez as manager of the club and that the takeover is expected to be done in time for this summer's .




Think this could actually be happening.

I wasn't particularly taking the piss mate. merely pointing out the oddities of a game we all love.

the same bloke was after Liverpool for 2 billion but couldn't provide proof they had 25m as a down payment so the deal fell through

Not to mention the irony lost on him posting about how quickly fortune can change. What happens when these sheiks pull out of owning clubs in 10/15 years?

This is the same sheik that couldn’t produce a 25 million down payment to buy Liverpool, and supposedly needs Chinese backers to help buy Newcastle
