Why even feel sorry for me, it really really is just a little creepy behaviour. I suspect you’ve been to Sid James park about 2 times in 10 yearno.
merely intrigued to see how my nearest and dearest rivals were bearing up that's all.
I feel for you, I really do.
Then there was a ‘big 4’ now there is a ‘big 6’, theres also financial fair play and clubs even in the bottom half can turn the big boys down as they get insane money just for finishing 17th. The landscape has dramatically changed in 10 years.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
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'sYou must be logged on to see external links.

Think this could actually be happening.
Football will not exist as we know it now in 10 to 15 years. Those clubs relying on 1 backer will be in serious trouble then.Then there was a ‘big 4’ now there is a ‘big 6’, theres also financial fair play and clubs even in the bottom half can turn the big boys down as they get insane money just for finishing 17th.

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?
They're not proper fans if they do that, so stop looking for bites, cos you won't get one here.
The sun running a story that Ashley has sold the club to the cousin of city's owner.
Who is looking for bites man. Just telling it like it is. Mid 90s hurt our fan base. Parts of washy, Durham, Peterlee, south shields, even f***ing penshew . If this is true we will lose more to them. All plastics *****
Dont get why so many are hand wringing about "the next generation" going to the mags, assuming this is true and they become "geet class hew" then the same result would happen even if we were still in the premier League plodding along in the bottom half.
Haven't we been here before with Amanda Stavely?
Still here. None of us are your “mate” either.no irony lost on me mate.
there appears to be more belief on this thread amongst you lot that this could happen than I've got.
much more likely we'll still be putting up with the fat twat in 10 years than worrying about sheiks f***ing off!

Reckon we will get awa it
And like I said even if they become humongous billionaires like that awab man what's doon at Man City, then yes a large number of fans will jump ship.Of course this could be another classic Ashley smokescreen during the talks with Rafa.
I don’t think I am wrong though, am Iyou'd be very wrong then.
anyway....
take it easy man.
enjoy the bank holiday.
How is it bad news for us? Other than from a rivalry perspective it has no bearing on our league performanceNot if we don't get out of league 1 we won't. Ok I could be junping the gun Abit but if this happens it is bad news for us.
