Of course I want genuine investment because without it we couldn't even compete in the championship. What I don't know is whether this will actually come off ! If it doesn't I don't want to be in the camp 'a la Mags' of utter despair
Being kind there methinks. I would say 95% of them are like him. For a club that hasn't won a proper trophy for nearly 75 years I cannot for the life of me fathom why they think NUFC is some sort of footballing superpower....The irony is unreal.
Not all mags are the same, obviously, but I’d say 1 in every 2 I know or meet, are like this gonk.
Tyre kickers or unwilling seller?I've actually met the Sheikh involved, I'll tell you about it when I see you ...
... I know it sounds far fetched but I'll show you the photos.
I couldn't post anything on here but I laughed all the way through 'the sale'.
This is my favourite post from when Newcastle were sold to Mansour's identical twin brother
The mail are now carrying the story with a quote from an unnamed representative.
The closest working associate to Sheik Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan told Sportsmail on Sunday night that a deal is 'concluded' between Mike Ashley and Sheik Khaled, an Emirati member of the family who govern Abu Dhabi.
The representatives also insisted that the prospective new owner is very keen to keep Rafa Benitez as manager of the club and that the takeover is expected to be done in time for this summer's transfer window.

Think this could actually be happening.
Are we allowed to get excited yet without being told its Mag like?
The replies to this are absolutely wonderful. One of them reckons that these blokes aren't buying the club, they're only buying an 80% share. They might not be posting but, I have no doubt they're reading.
Never one to be cynical, was this about the time the season ticket renewals went out? Didnt fat mike do the same the season before with that lass who was apparently fronting up a consortium as big as Man Citys? He must laugh his arse off every summer when they fall for the same old shite.
Got some tales to tell you like marra.I've actually met the Sheikh involved, I'll tell you about it when I see you ...

John hall brainwashing, forget that you need a brain to wash first.Being kind there methinks. I would say 95% of them are like him. For a club that hasn't won a proper trophy for nearly 75 years I cannot for the life of me fathom why they think NUFC is some sort of footballing superpower....
Always remember years ago, my mate met a lass on holiday and she was from London. Came up here one weekend and she couldn’t believe how nice the place was. People who continually slate the place need to get out more, might be better places, but there’s plenty more that are worse.Like I said earlie rin the thread, Sunderland isn't Beverley hills, but I've been to far worse places. It's often said there's a North/South divide but, the likes of Southend, Wycombe and Shrewsbury are from idyllic.
am trying hard not to get carried away with it all.. been let down so many times i think we are conditioned to expect the worst.. but please let it happen..Oh, my. That's just .....
That’s the same with me. I’m holding myself back from going nuts over the news as I worry I will wake up tomorrow and it will just be a dream.I've let my self be quite optimistic with all the take over news, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have that nagging voice in the back of my head telling me something is going to go wrong and that good things just don't happen to us.
If we do end up being somewhat successful I wonder if the voice would ever disappear.
Was that because his grandfather was German?Craig Thomson aka @Boo Boy giving his thoughts in the comments box:
Mackems just deal with the cards you were dealt with in life its not Newcastle fans fault that a sheikh billionaire wants to buy us honestly I work with loads of mackems and they are totally obsessed with us it takes over their lives man, I've never met a bunch of fans that pipe us so much and genually believe that they are bigger than us just face facts, you are in the doldrums were you belong, horrible arrogant gobshite breed of people, my grandad fought in a world war with yous lot and said he would rather share a trench with a German than a mackem that's says it all

Got talking to these two young lasses from London up visiting family in my local and they didn’t even know we were on the coast. My local is about 500m off the coast and I had the honour of walking them both down the beach. They couldn’t believe itAlways remember years ago, my mate met a lass on holiday and she was from London. Came up here one weekend and she couldn’t believe how nice the place was.

Lets gets some perspective ... our propestive owners are very rich ... but that's not a cast iron lock they are going to spend big. Even if they do I would hope thet do soo with far greater intelligence than short chaos . Were all excited but there are zero guarantees with this ... that said fingers crossed we could do a wolves... who are a very decent model to emulateCan't believe we are going to be wealthy beyond our wildest dreams and there is still fannies on here twisting. Christ, and I thought my dad was a miserable git when he was still here.
Are we allowed to get excited yet without being told its Mag like?
Getting ahead of yourself... Cos they won't spend that much..Wonder what the odds are for champions league within 5 years....Or I'm getting ahead of myself
