Every man and his dog knew that it wouldn't be approved until the piracy issue was sorted out. Surprise surprise that once it was the takeover was approved.

That means that only your new owners knew when the takeover would go through as it relied upon them resoving the issue. Try again mate

It was approved when bin Salman got in touch with the hideous Boris Johnson and told him to tell the premier league to get it passed or trade relations (and God knows what else!) would be affected.

No corruption involved at any stage. 🤔

Everyone’s good at something or so it’s said. Maybe self publicising on a local scale is his forte?
As a side question: Does he have a proper job? Or is all this nufc and gangster tosh his living?

No need.

His promotions and publishing are his work. Whether that's boxing, gigs, talk ins... he has a publishing house called Bad Boy Books or something like that. Because he was mates with the Krays and Frankie Fraser they all trust him now with their books. He does a crime podcast now as well.

He was on the James English podcast last year talking abour what he does and his background. He's always busy like, suppose it beats actual work.

Absolute weapon playing fancy dress with his mates just for a bit tea like

The simple fact is, Eddie Howe is the new manager and he's tasked with getting this lot set up to handle the relegation fight.
It's a simple case of, like him or not, he's in the hot seat and has to be backed by us fans and in the January window if he appears to be able to get some kind of a tune out of the squad, enough to form a real match day team of never say die players...at least...but with proper coaching nous to get an overall improvement.

I'm behind him 100% because I don't see any other point not to get behind him.
He may not be world class or international standard or a big name on a pedestal. So what. We are a relegation threatened team and that's all we are as it stands.

Eddie Howe may just do a David Moyes at West Ham....who knows?

Certain fans have got what they wanted. Ashley gone and Bruce gone and now his backroom staff will likely be gone, apart from Graham Jones, maybe.

So therefore Eddie Howe should be coming in with a total neutral and clean slate to hit his own ground running and this is where we all need to run with him and not judge him too early.

He may just as easily do a David Moyes at Sunderland.

For all the mags can say they're happy with Howe, to the outside world it looks like they're trying to convince themselves. Given the people behind the takeover you'd certainly expect more of a statement. I said from the start that I'd judge how impressive their appointment is by whether they'd have come if Ashley was still there. Howe most likely would, sounds like there were some discussions before the takeover happened. It's not a sign that money is no object and they're determined to spend their way to man citys level. The fact its been handled in a bit of an amateurish fashion also doesn't bode well, they need some football people in, and quickly.

Howe might do okay, but handing a relegation battle over to a bloke who has just been relegated, and giving a side that needs to become defensively sound to a bloke whose last team conceded fuck loads doesn't seem the best idea on paper. If they get a new manager bounce it might be enough, but they've got to get a lot of points in November so he'll really have to hit the ground running

I’m liking his appointment more with every post I read.

Emery gave a press conference about it you complete goon. You're just making shit up minute by minute, if Howe turns you down you will be back on here telling us how the latest candidate is a master stroke and is actually the perfect fit. Like the previous 5 were all the perfect fit too.

The only perfect is the Saudi’s bellends up their slack arseholes. Fuck me man one has already admitted they’d have been furious if Ashley lost emery due to fuckwittery and employed Howe, yet they’re now class him as a “good fit” ??? What the fuck? They’re so far down the rabbit hole it’s insane.

Owts better than actual work. Fair play to him if he’s spotted a few gaps in the market.

The thing is when I have had Saudi students, or Saudi's attending courses in London or elsewhere they dress western. In Dubai they may wear the thobe, but often if it is junior staff and no boss is around they will dress western. But yet here we are in Newcastle and not only is the Saudi wearing his Thobe but these knackers are also. It is simply bizarre. I wonder if today's installment will involve a trip to the Mosque for Friday prayer, though they are exempt from this prayer, if they wish, when travelling.

Is he a genuine Saudi? Remember the fake sheikh? Maybe investigating sportswashing at a grass roots level?
