I'll try not to feel too guilty. In my defence, this was booked over a year ago. I'll be around a little bit, but relying on doing it via the mobile, which is nowhere near is easy as my desktop, if I have to keep referring to other pages at the same. A bigger problem is that this tour is a private music festival, mainly in Santiago de Compostela (classical stuff), and a lot of the time I'll be in concerts with the phone switched off.

Ooooo the two main protagonists go missing just on the face twitching stroke......mebbes
 

Kick in the teeth ....

If I spelled things out, and named names, this post/thread would be deleted. Hopefully I've written it in a way that only the 'terminally dim/wilfully argumentative' can misinterpret. There won't be any follow up posts and you'll either get/believe it or not.
I was going to leave this until the right man, at the club, leaked it as he's promised to do when the time is right. However, if I do that, people will claim my previous vague posts were wild guesses. If I'm guessing I say so, if I'm passing on gossip/rumour I say so, if I post as fact I say so, like the fact that the takeover deal was definitely done weeks ago but that not even the current/new owners know the date of the announcement ... even now.

Some people mix up opinion, rumour, guesswork and fact .... usually deliberately.

So here it is and I'll bet the story comes out 'officially' after the takeover is announced.
The 'Dell boys' have been looking, for some time, to buy an English club to develop and leave a legacy for years to come. They looked at Newcastle, some time ago as is well known. Apparently that progressed a fair way before the asking price didn't budge due to Ashley's intransigence and belief that the club was worth it. No doubt they cast their eyes over a variety of clubs but were ready to buy Newcastle for a better price if Ashley would compromise. Move on a while and the boys are back in town looking for action. They go back to a club they've previously looked at as it's available and making no progress. Negotiations progress and become serious up to the point whereby a very good offer is put firmly on the table. 'Knowing smiles and nods are exchanged' and it seems a deal can be done. The seller's greed, however, pushes him into a 'clever ruse' and a rival bidder appears from nowhere, reported by some absolute random. Surely those free spending Dell boys will race back to rescue the deal and up their offer!!!

Errr well no actually, they decide to put their billions into a more long term but friendlier, more honest, project and reward those people they saw crying on Netflix. The Red Bull rumours may well have also had an effect and alerted Dell. The other club, who must remain nameless, are left exactly where they were and with no plausible way out. Mysteriously their 'buyer' vanishes and is never seen again, almost as if he was never there. The random reporter slinked away as well and it's not known how much, and by whom, he was paid ... but, of course, this is all fantastical nonsense, this is big business and no one would try to pull a stunt that stupid would they?

It'll be mint man! I think part of the sustainability thing is ensuring people don't expect millions to be spent in January. We won't spend much in this league, they'll think (rightly) that we should be able to get out of the league without it.

Fact remains though that they're either doing this to make money or for the excitement of owning a club and trying to make it successful. Whichever one it is (might be a combination of the two) they won't enjoy it or massively increase our value without getting us to the PL so I fully expect they will be prepared to spend a decent sum to help us get there. They're just making sure people are aware that with FFP and the likes we can't go mad. They'll find ways of maximising the available funds though, of that I have absolutely no doubt. There's no point in a load of billionaires buying a club if they're going to run it exactly as Donald and Methven have! They'll expect us sustainable eventually, but they probably see that happening in the prem where most clubs make a profit

Cheers mate. Loek Ursem was signed by Durban on loan from a Dutch club and played something like a game and a half at the back end of 81 82 season. I remember laughing like many others when we got him. Of all the great Holland players. Typical of us

"A very good tale!" said he. "The best I have heard for a long while. If all beggars could tell such a good one, they might find me kinder. You may be making it all up, of course, but you deserve a supper for the story all the same. Let's have something to eat!"

I saw him play, we got him on loan from Stoke where Durban had been his manager also. Mainly came on as sub, seemed very average, although he scored 7 goals one season at Stoke very good for a midfielder. Career obviously on the decline when we signed him like so many before and after him :cry:
