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

Ursem was signed on loan from Stoke City, where he had been a bit of a mainstay for Durban.

So, that's not really a kick in the teeth is it? It's alarmingly close to be completed for us.

Not negative at all.

By that, the deal was just about done and ashley moved the goalposts.

I'd say its a kick in the teeth, seeing how desperate the black and whites are to get rid of him

Edit. You do know its a kick in the teeth for the mags we're talking about?

Or one where, despite all the evidence to the contrary, they think we’re going to spend 50p all season.

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 hasn’t stopped the redneck wannabe wanker being bitter over us. Sitting in his denim dungarees, drinking moonshine and frothing at the goatee beard about our takeover

I did it from Leon to Santiago in June 2012, and there were a fair few people about, (the film "The Way" had just come out) but nothing too bad. The ending in Santiago Cathedral was really moving, even though I'm an atheist. I'd say do it if you're a walker, its a good one, number 62 in walkopedia list of the world's great walks.

Cheers, marra, that's really helpful. I'm a bit of a lapsed walker, but think I could get back up to speed with a few months' training.

Hasn't Reiver basically told us this already?

Correct. Got mixed up a little though he was Dutch. Good that you remember that era

Not much I do remember, although at the time foreign nationals playing for us were quite rare. Can only recall Marangoni. He did of course play with the mighty Ally McCoist
