"As the long awaited liberation of the cathedral on the hill dawns for the fans who once sung about winning 'F*** all again, we'll still follow United' I spoke to someone who needs no introduction to the toon army and who knows a thing or two about takeovers at Newcastle United. I spoke to one time black & white star Kevin Brock about his thoughts on the takeover and his perspective having seen the eventual takeover by the magpie group to oust Gordon Mckeag by the man who built the MetroCentre, a certain Sir John Hall who had a dream about the Geordie nation....."

👍 Don't change, Essembee.

Howay's rants on the mackems are great yet the words 'May' 'Fulwell' and the numbers '19' and '70' rarely, if ever, get mentioned?

Aye, that seasons average being more or less the same as one in 81 I believe, both stand out low averages for our club through the years, three sub 20k averages since the days when football was taking off nationally in the pre WWI days. Sunderland have substantially more sub 20k averages but, hey, 1992 and all that.

+1

It wasn't me but I've stated a few times about this ridiculous 92 thing they go on about applies to most clubs in the 90s, and to them more than us. But they don't let the facts get in the way of throthy mouthed Mag rants or conspiracies.

On the doors. We'll keep him to be on the doors.

If Man U or Liverpool ended up struggling to keep out of the bottom three clubs there'd be a 'top 17'.

It'll just be Shola, man. Other fans will laugh at him being our legend. Obviously sky won't get actual bona fide legends as their go-to man. Do they not do the same with Man city with the like of Goater and Dunne? (Although saying that, Man City's bona fide legends who were actually good pre-cash will be in their 70s now?

I hope he loses enough where he can only afford to buy Sunderland on a leveraged takeover and gets llambias to be the face of the new regime on 'Sunderland till I die 3' whilst they combust on and off the field as new manager Pardew fails in the play offs and Ashley's financial backers fall through. Final scene ends with a fan pulling his trakka top up to reveal a t-shirt saying 'Why allwuz us?' on it as Ashley walks to his taxi surrounded by a couple of bodyguards barely registering the fan.

'HI IT'S NICK FROM POLAND! WHY HAVE YOU HOUNDED OUT MIKE HE'S A GREAT OWNER? DO NOT BE ABUSIVE IN YOUR REPLIES!' Just a question of time.

"How's the takeover going, Steve?" "Am I getting sacked in the morning, did you say?"

Why would it? If he's gone then that's all there is to it?

Here! You! Aye, you! Fuck off!

The ones he doesn't know can die for all he cares? Howmanheyman who? Fuck him!

They were going to buy Sunderland for sportswashing but they didn't have enough soap and bleach for a job that big.

Absolutely makes total sense to get Rafa. He'd probably have a list already written to give them from players to scouts to builders for the training ground.

I've heard that PIF have been digging around for information to ingratiate their way into our good books. Don't shoot the messenger but I'm hearing they've earmarked £10m to buy the Sunderland first team squad and are going to let them wear their safc tracksuits when they're being ball boys at our home games next season.

(She must've been a bit before my time otherwise......)

Cans you say? Nah, I'll just have a bottle instead, pet.

Spot on, MF.
