Tough year for Dave Whelan. First Wigan go into administration and now his business empire is totally fucked. Thankfully he's alive to witness it all, the massive cunt.

Quick trip to Aldi........sorted

Who the hell puts full cans in the bin ?

It’s incredible when you think about it. The PL could find absolutely nothing in the bid that would give them an excuse to block so they just wouldn’t make a decision or give a timeframe whilst all the while moving the goalposts. Just to keep the teams competing a closed shop. And most journalists are blaming the bidders.

ewerk will allow Margot Robbie to lick his bellend for the same terms he agreed with Scarlett Johansson, but is waiting for the Australian to drop her restraining order to enable him to progress to the next stage of the process.

Then my life changes for the better- more biscuits.

I hope he has a career ending injury if he goes to those cunts.

Aye, getting involved now it’s fucking done and dusted and the PL have been allowed to take the piss. Are we going to get some ‘closure’ now? Seriously, who gives a fuck?

Can you advise them they're a bunch of thundercunts please Troops? Ta.

Yup. I've been saying all along its ridiculous that there isnt a timeframe for the EPL to make the decision. This is exactly why there always is one, in any industry, which can be extended given certain conditions if the case becomes complicated. Now it seems they dont even have to explain the inaction that could turn out to be significant in the history of the club, the city, the region at large. It is just beyond belief. Also, funny how there is no discussion in the media about just how fair the league is now. This should have everyone connected to the sport asking why one particular club was not allowed the sort of investment plenty others already have. The sanctity of the sport, or whatever is left of it, should be in question here.

In that case, I take it back

He’s a balding big mouth cockney bastard.Mount still being praised to the hilt by the cockney press for doing nowt special,the big nosed over-hyped cockney bastard.

I guess it’s because he, like a lot of other writers, acts as if it is only a matter of time until he gets his overdue Pulitzer. A lot of journalists are narcissistic cry-babies who throw their toys out of the pram as soon as their investigative masterpieces or their godlike understanding of everything gets questioned. I know very few journalists who are capable of changing their narrative once they have made their mind up about something.

They can look forward to “their cup final” against the classiest club on the planet next year.

Reminds me of when my 3yr old wanted to be Arsenal and Mingenal. So proud.

It’s August...folk who’ve just had 4 months off work need a holiday Bournemouth is mobbed too...people getting off trains complaining of being packed like sardines in the carriages DON’T GET ON THE FUCKIN TRAINS THEN YOU ABSOLUTE WALLOPING FUCKIN IDIOTS

CANS

Also, the Eat Out to Help Out scheme is a success considering my mate just paid £3.30 for a pint of lemonade and a breakfast in Wetherspoons What a time to be alive.

PS....there’s a diminutive former Tory minister who bares a striking physical similarity to an 80s children’s cartoon character who has deleted all his social media over the weekend. Just saying like...

Signed

Im pleased you’ve cleared that up for us, thanks

Lol, laters

This was the original tweet but it went on for ages, with people calling him out .

Wraith has a point, badly made. It’s weird that Edwards is so pleased it’s off but I guess it’s because he’s painted himself into a corner with the way he’s behaved towards the majority of the fan base and his ridiculous claims to not have watched our matches when we played shit etc. The daft bit is, as Howay pointed out, it would have been a fantastic boost to his career if we’d been converted into a top European side competing for honours for the foreseeable. It’s fucking bizarre that he’d rather score points on Twitter.

You’re 3/5ths of the way to divi 4 ya cunt now fuck off and leave global geo/political machinations to the big boys

WhatsApp group gone mad....it’s like KK leaving us apparently....that’s what the all the fuckin Arsenal & Liverpool hypocrites are saying anyway

I think we’ve been fairly exceptional in our last two relegations in perhaps benefiting the first time and then not being too damaged the last time. The former was due to retaining most of a PL squad and the latter was down to an Champions League winning manager offering his services to a club without the ambition to even think of approaching him. You just need to look at those derby rivals or any number of the likes of Sheff Wed, Coventry or even Leeds who took an age to get back to where they were. Anyone who thinks relegation might be a good thing next time can get on Ugly Mackems’ bus with the sad bastards who take a perverse pride in being super fans of a club that continually takes the piss out of them

Weymouth in the Vanarama next year to renew hostilities with their traditional rivals Yeovil...

A Saudi purchase of Milan and then taking Pep or Klopp plus a load of Sky Sports poster boy players would be a small slice of Karma .....................I feel very spiteful just now.

This. I have to admit that I am getting more agitated about it every day. Being stuck at home with a (normal) cold doesn't help, neither being legally offended by the process. The conduct from the PL stinks as much as the comments from a lot of journalists lauding the outcome of PIF conceding defeat. It doesn't have to be corruption but there are certainly a lot of people being stuck in bein's and Qatar's arse. I got in a debate with Matt Slater because I called his assessment that the PL did everything right blinkered. I told him that I don't consider it a fair process if the league just refused to make a decision that could be legally challenged and where the facts are for everybody to see and to be judged. Then the movement of goalposts began. It ended with him relating to the amount of evidence that KSA is responsiible for running beoutq and how Qatar got everything from the WTO verdict that they hoped for. I am not sure how I got into the job I do hold as I am obviously über-thick and have no idea about the interpretation of law and how to read judgements... It's the whole narrative that the league could never approve the Saudis because of their involvement in piracy that drives me crazy. If that was a legitimate reason then they should have simply rejected the takover on that basis. That would have opened the chance for an appeal and to a judgement of an independent person. If PIF had still failed the test then it would have been the fairest outcome. Nobody could have complained because the rules would have been correctly applied. But to state that everything is fine because the league could never approve an ownership involving the Saudi state without specifically stating how it does relate to the regulations of the director's test does stink. It is just the willfully application of the narrative of bein. I am not one normally getting drawn into conpirace theories but I does make me wonder that the regulations of the owner's and director's test can't be found on the PL website anymore. I remember downloading it in the past but can't get hold of it now. But maybe I am just to thick for this, too.

The Premier League backed up the institution that currently holds the rights to broadcast their content in the Middle East. That those rights holders are also a gang of piously medieval anti democratic cunts without much regard to human rights or indeed human life is neither here nor there. There is no money too tainted for the people currently encouraging players to “take a knee” before games . The sheer rank hypocrisy of many involved and/or commenting on the takeover (I including some of our fellow supporters in that) makes me fuckin sick. The PL have utterly taken the piss out of the prospective buyers, that’s true. I suppose in business terms they’ think they’ve played a blinder. The whole point of the PL is to make huge amounts if money though. Pissing the Saudis off seems to me to be cutting off their noses the spite their face. The Saudis fucked up after the WTO case with their subsequent actions. Easy for the PL after that, even though the constant goal posts moving all through the process had already made issues virtually impossible to resolve . I know I spout off a lot about the Saudi’s etc but now it’s over and listening to what Staveley has said (you’ll need an Athletic subscription for that ) I realise this was truly the last chance saloon. The Saudis won’t come back after being humiliated & embarrassed by the PL and no other fucker is going to buy the club & pump 260mill in over two seasons & also invest in the city in the middle of an unprecedented global pandemic. I might not have gone back if it had gone ahead but there may well have been a very new Newcastle United for generations unknown to enjoy and I certainly have no interest in denying others that.

I’ll start the car.

I’ve been on the phone to Nicola S and she said, ” See thae wee cunt fae Whitley Bay, he can get tae fuck wae his greeting aboot aye thae cunts nae like him” I have no idea what she said, I’ve pm’d KCG but all he said was “ They may take away our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!”

We went to Seahouses at midday, fucking rammed. We fucked off towards Bamburgh, went to the beach south of the village. I’ve never seen so many people on Bamburgh beach tbh, but everyone was keeping their distance. However, the combination of the powder-fine sand and the fuck-you wind meant we were getting gently shotblasted the entire time. As I said to Mrs. Fist, every cunt and their brother who’d normally be English breakfasting in Malaga is now stinking up the places we superior fuckers have known and loved here in Perfidious Albion

I don't think it has been illegal because until recently (when they lost their appeal) bein had a valid license for Saudi Arabia which they must have obtained before the start of the conflict in 2017. As I understand it the PL has probably created the mess itself somewhat when they awarded the rights for the MENA region to bein early in August 2018 for another three years from 2019 to 2022. Even if bein did still possess a license to KSA back then it must have been clear that it was a disaster to happen. It couldn't have come as a surprise that bein lost its license to Saudi Arabia later that month (end of August 2018). That is when this mess should have been fixed at the earliest and might have prevented all this piracy malarkey.

That was never going to work. The PL bundle these rights together for a reason, whether that is because it’s financially advantageous to do so or it’s just easier for them to manage that way. What SA was suggesting would have completely undermined that approach. It would have opened the door to any country who doesn’t missed out on the rights or didn’t like the rights holder to simply ban them from their airwaves and negotiate their own deal. The PL have fucked this takeover up big time but I can’t argue with them on this one.

So there it is, the dust has settled and we can now just continue to make up the numbers in the league and allow the top 6 to take all the trophys and money.

At this point it's surely time to count our blessings and be thankful we escaped when poor old Man City and Chelsea didn't. #prayforthe top6 🙏

I actually wish Benitez had never come as I’d have been completely finished with professional football about 4 years earlier

I think the best bit is he seems to be completely inept in business terms. He’s utterly full of shit as well which they’ll lap up, as you say. He made his money off ‘flipping’ a Zimbabwean tobacco farm which he never actually owned and sold to the Chinese at an inflated price in a country where the Chinese already have a large presence, investment-wise, and would have seen this conman coming a mile off. He used the nonexistent funds to supposedly develop an energy drink which was actually started in Croatia by someone else anyway and you can’t buy it anywhere and is owned by a company with fuck all money in the bank. Add to that he’s a boxing promoter who seemingly only looks after a fat Scottish heavyweight who’s lost nearly half his fights despite never having been in with anyone of any quality. Finally, Covid-19 is a conspiracy because he doesn’t want to have to wear a mask because he can’t fit one on that goes over his manky, a decade out of date, hipster beard. I fucking hope he buys the club because you just know it’ll be done using loans secured against the club and its paltry assets if he can get anyone stupid enough to let him have the funds. It’s the least they deserve

Ah, the day after dreams of fans were dashed a certain someone has to come up with more childish digs but very little inside to offer.

If it is as Staveley says that the told them to neither approve them nor reject them then the consortium will have a strong legal case. Same applies for the timeframe of not getting a decision until the expiry date of the takeover contract. For damages they can start with the deposit the fat bastard did pocket.
