Takeover Rumours

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

Fair enough :D
 
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'.
Tyre kickers or unwilling seller?
 
This is my favourite post from when Newcastle were sold to Mansour's identical twin brother :lol:


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.

Sheik Khaled's representatives claim billionaire is close to buying Newcastle for £350million | Daily Mail Online


Think this could actually be happening.

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.
Are we allowed to get excited yet without being told its Mag like?

Im cautiously excited but lets be honest as a Sunderland fan you are used to us grasping defeat from the jaws of victory so not gonna be celebrating till Ronaldo has his SAFC scarfe above his head 🤣

In all honesty mate, I don't believe that's the case.

Staveley and Kenyon were serious and Ashley forked out a lot of money on solicitors etc during the negotiations.

Staveley had her knickers pulled down and was spanked in public by Ashley which was humiliating.

There's no way she'd compromise her credibility with her Arab mates just to help Ashley flog a few season tickets.

And that extra income for Ashley wouldn't be worth the bother. It's only the Mags thinking their money is vital to the club that starts these daft rumours.

Got some tales to tell you like marra.
 
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....
John hall brainwashing, forget that you need a brain to wash first.
 
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.
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.
 
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.
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 think the voice will only disappear after the first title win😉
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

:lol::lol:
Was that because his grandfather was German?

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 it :lol:
They said they’d never seen the sea in England before :lol:
 
Can'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.
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 emulate
