With unlimited cash over the medium term they'd be able to put World class structures in place and the best coaches/management
If they were going to have unlimited cash why have they been squabbling over the price for well over a year? They'd have just bought the thing.

As an aside it absolutely mental how strong their moral principles were with the Adam johnson thing. Yet they are beyond desperate to be owned by someone who literally ordered a journalist to be killed and dismembered.
 
I wonder what the views are of that nugget from Ouston who does their fanzine? Isn't he a right-on Ben Eltonesque Socialist?
He was always very principled when it came to anything SAFC related, anyway.
All out the window now.
Football is the most immoral unprincipled game on the planet and that’s a fact.

just spent about 10 minutes writing different things about who, why or what about this takeover.
ive read this stuff over the last week and as a 37 year old safc fan since 89/90 who goes home and a fair amount away each and every season it boils down to this,
Fuck them!! Fuck every single mag that’s low enough to come on a safc message board and think I respect what they say !! If they get a takeover, so what ?? Was bound to happen at some point. They’ve still got to make a lot of good decisions. Something that we know too well, isn’t as easy as it seems.

we are Sunderland. That’s all I care about. We need to get our club sorted ! But that’s football
There’s so much in the world going on at minute that no one should be worried about anything except our health and future.
Stay safe safc, stay safe everyone !
 
The best footballers want to play in London, Manchester, Milan, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Rome etc

Er, not quite that simple. Do the best players really want to play for Rayo Vallecano, Orient, Red Star FC or even Espanol?
Players want to play for clubs that:
1. Give them lots of money
2. Where they can win things
3. Where they can have a cool time
In that order.

On point 3! They want to have a “” cool”” time ???
I’m trying to ignore/dismiss point 2 as a joke for now !
back to point 3, how are they going to have a cool time by signing for Nufc ??
genuine question. What’s you’re defining quality that Newcastle will have that’s cooler than any other big city in Europe ?

TBH I don’t think Ashley would have ever actually sold it if Coronavirus hadn’t happened.

At his core he’s a retail wheeler and dealer - and Corona meant 1) he needed the cash and 2) he saw lots of opportunities to buy up retailers in trouble which is what he does best...

U areet mate? Look the NUFC Takeover probably wont happen, just like the DELL one didn't. Oh and may I add all these things going on in the world would be forgotten about, if the shoe was on the other foot so to speak..
 
I still don't believe this takeover. If the season is completed, there is a very real chance of relegation.

WTF would pay £300 million for a Club in the Championship?

Wanting something to happen really doesn't increase the likelihood of it occurring. Sorry like.

I wasn't talking about Newcastle. I was talking generally.

I’m drunk as fuck but my point is there’s loads of people panicking over something we’ve got no control over.
if they get taken over we have to hope it goes wrong for them simple as that
we should be concerned more about ourselves and getting our own club sorted out.
sorry if I was rambling before but for me that’s what it boils down to.
worry about ourselves and the rest can f**k off

Appreciate your concern for me though.
just having a drunken rant mate nowt to worry about.

You have to laugh like, if/when this goes through we will never ever in our respected histories have been so far apart. Two leagues apart we are running around cutting staff getting loans and barely got two pennies too rub together, they will be one of the richest clubs in the world. Even in the 90s when they had their little run we weren’t this far apart.
 
That’s all well and good for Newcastle, but where was it beneficial for Durham which is very much in the north east, taking Durham Wasps away?
Also, if he was such a “spiffing chap”, didn’t he sell to Ashley when Freddie Shepherd was on his sick bed and allegedly behind his back to a certain degree?
Wasps were already without a rink and having to play out of Sunderland at the time.

I didn't mention he was a spiffing chap. I mentioned me enjoying the football of that time.
I'm under no illusions about how it all came about, now....but then I was swept away with the emotion of it all.

As for taking Durham wasps away, I've taken no notice of that to be fair. I don't know the history behind that.
I remember him trying to turn the Newcastle Falcons into the Man Utd of rugby of the time.

I don't want the north east to lose anything on the back of deals between the rich, but like I say....at the time I enjoyed the wave of the football. I didn't take into account anything else. I also didn't take into account the destruction of the reserves.

I'm certainly not bigging up Hall and co, today or even going back 15 years or so.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't carried along on a wave of the times before that.

I have a lot more insight into what's what with the club due to discussions between Hall and co and ex players and ex managers of the club....etc.
The internet was in its infancy back then so the reliance was on snippets of tabloid view which went with or against the flow as and when suited.

I'm a Mag mate. I'm just being realistic. Our performances on the pitch this season have been terrible. Our League position does not reflect how bad we are.

Relegation is still a very real possibility if this season i sever played out.

We would need 5 points from 9 games to be safe and that's assuming you will need 40 to stay up which appears unlikely.
