Howay

Why are they even worrying about that? They’re 2 divisions below us and show absolutely no signs of rectifying that anytime soon. It’ll not be long until they start thinking since this happened to us it’ll happen to them as well. Like Monkey Fist says, this is going to completely demolish them the 6 in a row craic is aging worse than milk that’s sat in the sun for a month. I agree with what ewerk said in response to the worry this might not be a Man City moment btw. I would also add that since they have a real dislike/rivalry of the UAE and Qatar I can’t see them wanting to sit back and watch sides owned by these rivals like Man City and PSG outdo a side they own. I also think Man City had/maybe still has other investors that own a percentage of the club besides the Abu Dhabi group, if that’s a reference point we are going to use for this takeover. Again agree with ewerks point regarding having the Rueben brothers experience of the area for their expanded investment, with Staveleys percentage being her demand for helping broker the deal since she missed out on getting an investment in Man City and watched their value skyrocket.

Agreed, he’d be a great appointment to start the build up to where I would imagine this group want to get to due to that.

Agreed, it’s another thing I will unfortunately turn a blind eye to. Same way I do with where all my electronics, clothes, etc come from, even with food etc. I think we are going to see a lot of people try what that Michael Potts is trying but they themselves are utter hypocrites as well.

Aye, we’ll be getting pelters. It’s already started on Twitter and we haven’t even actually been sold: I love how we are the ones at fault here for being excited at the prospect of getting rid of a bloke who has been a fucking parasite, and getting owners in that might take us up to the top level. The fault doesn’t lie with the governing bodies that have for years allowed people with very questionable backgrounds to invest in sport, even the likes of Abramovic at Chelsea are pretty unsavory. If the governing body doesn’t do anything to stop it is his point that we should all turn our back on the club? And what would that accomplish? We were laughed at by people like him for trying to do that to Ashley. I also hope that lad made sure he sent that tweet on a device that wasn’t produced by a sweatshop or wasn’t a product of another unethical type of situation. He’s a mackem apparently, so that explains it. The first of many tbh.

I don’t know much about the fit and proper test, is it more focused on the money i.e. ensuring it’s from legitimate means? If so I agree that the political pressure would force the FA (or PL?) hand, I can’t see them having the spine to essentially say the Saudi governments money is illegitimate. Tbh even if it’s focused on their character/a mix of the two I’d be hard pressed to think they would stand up to the Saudi Arabian state and call them out. It would be a pretty dicey move for the governing body to make, and could potentially see them end up in a court system. I also feel the FA’s eyes will light up at the mere thought of all this money money money money money, seeing as they are a bunch of greedy pigs.

The mackems are baffled as to why we would be excited by this. We are either mugs because there is nothing in this, or we shouldn’t be excited because the Saudis have no affinity with Newcastle. Neither point stopped them wanking themselves daft over a very tenuous link to possibly being bought by a passive investment group Michael Dell part owned, nor did lack of affinity stop them getting all excited by the Del Boy and Rodney Trotter chancers that own them.

At the pic. I don’t get why he says we’ve been here before, we definitely have never been this far tbh with regard to the documents being submitted etc.

George Caulkin has said get the cans chilled on the pod on the Tyne podcast.

Aye was going to say, I understand people thinking it’s an odd time to purchase but it is absolutely the Ashley time to sell as we can’t celebrate properly.

In addition FFP has been suspended iirc, I’m not sure if they’ve established a date it will go back into effect.

That’s what my assumption would be as well, wasn’t he “owed” around £144m from the club in the last set of accounts? It could be that he will get that back staggered depending on if certain things are met such as we remain in the PL, and to cover any fall out from HMRC investigation.

Aye Biden is a creepy cunt, Trump calls him sleepy Joe and I think creepy Joe. For whatever reason Trump is basically immune to any issues from the fact he’s a massive pervert, the whole “you just grab them by the pussy” thing got the bloke who was listening to him say it fired from his job as host of the Today show (George Bushes relative as well) yet didn’t impact his election chances in the slightest. The bloke can say something, he recorded saying it, and then attack someone for saying exactly the same thing and his support will lap it up. I think he will win the next election, the tits on the democratic side are already saying they won’t vote for Biden since Yang / Bernie didn’t get the nomination, so it’ll be a repeat of Hillary. His support base were legitimately blaming the Democrats for holding up the stimulus package despite the reason for the push back being the Republicans were bundling in abortion bans to a fucking financial stimulus bill.

They’ve closed the car parks near all parks in my town. There’s a baseball field across the road from my block of flats, some huckle goes there and smokes a cigarette in the car park there (usually see him when I’m waking my dog around the field). So now it’s closed he just pulled up in the parking spot under my flats balcony with some horrific music blaring out his Audi and stood in the car park smoking, serial killer behavior this. The bloke needs to man up and own up to his other half that he smokes before I egg the weird cunt.

Made by the same bellends that made the Maradona documentary where they altered him talking about nearly joining Sheffield United to say it was Sunderland iirc? The fact that they are willing to be that unprofessional, yet the club they love still come out of this looking like a bunch of incompetent tits shows how bad it must really be.

It’s so spectacularly badly written, and scary that he really puts things like press in quotation marks. There is surely something wrong with him, he doesn’t even seem to realize that he WAS impeached but just subsequently acquitted by his mates. I honestly can’t listen to him talk anymore, he’s such a fucking moron but a moron that has an arrogance like no one else in the world. I hope they really do get him on something one day, at this point I’m convinced he deserves jail time for his handling of all of this, saying New York moved slow yet he was the one telling everyone to stop complaining as the 15 cases in the US would become 0 a few days later. Fucking bitch.

I really hope people keep up the pressure long after this is done. What Trump is doing over here is seriously crossing a line, reports are that California received 170 broken ventilators, yesterday Illinois received 300k masks which Trump bragged about - the ask was for N95 masks which they received none of, all 300k were simple surgical masks, reports that items NYC asked for are turning up in New Jersey and vice versa, both receiving far less than asked. In contrast to all these Dem states, Florida has received double of everything it requested despite not being identified as a hot spot yet, conveniently it’s a swing state. He is also refusing to speak to the Gov of Michigan, referring to her as a nasty woman, and has said that states like NY, NJ, CT, CA, etc have to be nice to him to get what they are requesting. At some point this has to be crossing into dereliction of duty at the very least.

He’s honestly just a complete fucking wanker. I can’t see it as being possible that there’s been a leader of a country that’s more out of touch with things than he is, going on about how big TV ratings are for his fucking coronavirus briefings for fuck sake man. I’d already gotten to the point where when people try and give you the uncomfortable ‘don’t talk about Trump because this person in our presence supports him’ I’d ignore them and keep bashing him, but honestly after this I’m going to question if they’ve got fucking rocks in their head. I’d honestly be more comfortable if someone put a random primary school child in charge.

Also So GM don’t even own that facility, he also tagged the wrong General Motors twitter handle the one he tagged seems to be dormant or a cyber squatter. Wanker.

If only there was an emergency power he could use to force them to start producing essential items needed. Oh aye there is but the stupid CUNT won’t sign it as he said he doesnt need too as many companies are ringing him saying they’re going to produce things, and he doesn’t want to force any nationalization (he then acted as if this wasn’t just a temporary emergency measure, it was as if he signs this they’d just always be forced by the govt). Even if the companies did agree to do it off their own back it would mean there was a bidding war from states on an open market, rather than the alternative which would force them to sell to the fed at cost plus who could then distribute to states. It’s almost as if trying to profiteer and prop up stock market numbers isn’t the right way to manage a pandemic. I would say I feel bad hoping he gets it, but honestly he’s already laughed at the thought of Romney getting it during a fucking live press conference, and through his actions (or lack thereof) putting untold amounts of lives at risk. There are nurses in Mt Sinai hospital in Queens (where this abomination of a person was born) dying from COVID as they’re using fucking bin liners as PPE, and he gives NYC 400 out of the national 20,000 stockpile of ventilators after saying on tv that they’d get what they need and he won’t be accepting anything from China or South Korea.

Absolute fucking scum. I honestly can’t do anything but laugh at this point, they really are tv style bad guys.

Aye, a lot of people really don’t seem to grasp that this is an emerging threat and act like exponential curves just aren’t a thing. Over here a lot are referencing a statistic that more die on average per year from automobile accidents, which is complete bullshit stats, you cant compare a historical average to a currently emerging threat, going off that you could have said at one point World Wars 1 and 2 weren’t a big deal as at one point in time they had less deaths than other wars. Seeing this sort of shit all the time, time to log off Facebook:

Aye, he’s honestly sub human scum. I thought he had some sort of idea behind being president (not saying his goals would have been good just thought he had some), but this has made it pretty clear his entire reason is simply to be president and he’s going to aim for that regardless of the human cost. Personally getting worried, two staff at the supermarket across the street have just tested positive today. My wife is newly pregnant (we had our first scan pushed back to an undetermined date which has made her even more anxious worrying about not getting prenatal care or even if the baby is okay at this point) and evidently they don’t have much insight into the effect on first trimester, her mother has lupus (and is struggling to get her medication as there’s a shortage of it as it’s one that is rumoured to be a possible medicine against this), and this absolute fucking fat piece of shit has completely reverted to pretending like this is no big deal. He’s apparently been referring to it in past tense, and saying we’ve learnt a lot from it, absolutely staggering. I’ve never liked him but this has pushed me to a point of fucking despising him, if he does do what he’s threatening and it has the predictable dire consequences he should be brought up on fucking charges, or war crimes seeing as he was acting like he was a general in a war at the weekend. I agree with everything Rappaport said in his rant, if people re elect this piece of shit after this I’ve given up hope with people. There’s also a billionaire who owns that hobby lobby chain store who has said they need to keep working the staff and there will be no sick pay for those who get it, I’m not normally one to push for things like this but when/if we make it through this we need some drastic fucking overhaul, as these billionaires have basically all turned their backs so it’s high time we cracked down on the cunts and stopped acting like they’re hero’s that deserve all their ungodly fortunes because they brought some fucking jobs to the table for fuck sake.

Nah, Newark isn’t even the worst in New Jersey, that dubious honour goes to Camden.
