My guess is that they want Donald to say something via them rather than the press.

I think it's just a "what a stupid tweet" gif, the initial tweet (from the shite "PL rumours" Twitter account) is asking Donald to make a statement, the tweet from Roker Report seems to be a "can't believe what a f***ing stupid tweet that is" response, don't think it's hinting at anything deeper than that

Strange how BBC Newcastle are full of info about when the announcement might be but can seemingly offer absolutely no insight into what is causing the delay. Not saying they're making it up mind, but seems odd

Think the takeover stuff would have been leaked to them the same way it was leaked to ALS and RR last week so that’s probably where this has come from.

Bearing in mind they said it would be completed within 2 weeks more than 2 weeks ago now, and potentially looking at another week or more, suggests it’s more than a “staffing issue” in play. Just my opinion like.

The press? Some nugget on twitter had asked Donald for a statement on 'the delay' despite neither him nor the club making any statements so far and not giving any dates the would even suggest any sort of delay.

Hence the shaking head response from roker report.

No it's in response to some no mark asking Donald for a statement.

Thing is though, it's not based on anything posted on here. No one here has suggested next week, Reiver mentioned all had gone quiet but was thinking that might mean it had been done and news was going to break soon, others thought the Hilton being booked out Tuesday/ Wednesday might mean an announcement then. It also hasn't been mentioned by RR or ALS, who also seem to be getting some info from the club. So either they've made it up, or they've got a difference source
 
Don't think they know anything. They lead with how NUFC were nearly bought rather than give an exciting update on an actual takeover.

I do think though if nothings leaked by Thursday it's looking like it's fallen through

Who the feck thinks in terms of checking if the Hilton is fully booked as an indicator of when an announcement might be made?
