Chronicle and Ryder can fuck off like they know anything and everything. It was just last week they were playing up the story we were going to be bought by Speedy Gonzales and Co. Ariba andale andale.

Its absolute horseshit. Some clown from the The S*n completely blindsides everyone by claiming we've been sold and every other journo is running about trying to find out details. Clearly none of them know anything because the story is utter bollocks. Whether journalists are fabricating it or its based on false information, who knows but given the fact that its gone from a 'done deal' to 'in talks' tells you everything you need to know.

 

This one has been bollocks from the start. No doubt it'll drag on and there will be radio silence or at best tiny snippets for weeks e.g Kenyon and Stavely and absolutely fuck all will come of it.

 

It's funny how these things always crop up at critical times, like right before a transfer window or during negotiations to renew our managers contract. One would even suggest that the club aren't willing to give Benitez what he wants and this will provide a decent smokescreen to absolve the club of blame. Benitez will wind down his contract while these 'negotiations' are taking place and then it'll be too late to do anything.

It’s the ‘from a close associate of the Sheikh’ thing that the whole Sun story is based on that gets me. He could be anyone, the journo could have just made him up with a bit of encouragement from Mike. This ‘close associate’ is likely just Bishop in a metaphorical Arab head-scarf.

 

Edit: There’s also nothing in the Abu Dhabi press about this.

That is what i fear as well. Horrible timing. It could leave us in a very bad place...again!

Are you alright?

What I take is some high level communication has been done and 350m is a price both parties agreed to start working on.

 

Which means the deal is still very fragile as we all know the fat cunt could fuck it up easily, say demanding SD advertising for n years, his personal loans not counted etc.

 

Too early to be optimistic

I don’t get the people saying Ashley played us either. This hasn’t came from Ashley/Newcastle.

It feels like he draws in genuine interest, knowing full well that at the 11th hour, he'll find a way to make the deal fall through.

The last page of the contract is a hand-drawn picture, signed by Ashley, of Mohammed.
