I'm with Benizz here. People have been saying it's on the verge of happening for weeks now and they've still got Ashley there. Don't know why everyone is suddenly worrying now.

If it was going to happen it would have already happened. There's obviously some pretty big reasons for the hold up. I don't think it'll go through.

Who knows. Everybody is just guessing. Man City takeover took around 7 weeks. That is the stage we are at now with the Newcastle one.
