The thing that rings alarm bells on this for me is the way it’s leaked out. Our takeover took everyone by surprise & nothing leaked out until the day it was announced. My Everton supporting friend said that the Sheikh was talking to Everton in 2008 but they wouldn’t commit to pre-contract confidentiality agreements. Don’t know how true that is.

No that was a guy from the Sun dressed up in a towel.
Fair play to them . I hope that it works for them and they get everything that we got from our takeover . The way to they lost the title to Utd all them years ago still pisses me off . Can’t see any city supporters having a go over money being invested into a team as that would very hypocritical.
Totally agree with youI wouldn't begrudge the Geordies a rich owner and finally a real chance of silverware. Their fans have been through shit the same as us. Plus it's about time another proper club with big, loyal support gave the rags and scousers something to worry about and won trophies instead of them.

Didn't we all in September 2008?No that was a guy from the Sun dressed up in a towel.
its not a done deal to the fat lady sings and the fat geordie fan takes his top off ????
smoke and mirrors maybe by mike ashley with a tac-tick in trying to pushing another deal that was in the pipeline before this deal was leaked, he knows somebody will be getting a great deal at £350 million with the market like it is today, and will hope if there is two people fighting over the club then its nailed on he's getting the asking price of £350million without getting undercut and a low price
mike ashly is a fool and should be investing his money in newcastle and not selling it ?? the market is strong and a ready made football club with a crazy fan base is what dreams are made of, and just a little bit of knowledge in the board room and the right people on the media team then you have a golden egg just like manchester city ?? ok maybe the boat has sailed with the FFP rules in europe and premier league but that can be handle with a short space of time in rebuilding. bonus is getting 50,000 fans already going to home games is a plus, the ground is OK maybe room for a revamp, but get the football at the right level and grow on the pitch before any idea or building bigger stands,
if i was a multi billionaire and wanting to invest in football newcastle would be my first choice of what is left ?? maybe everton would be another choice but everton needs a bigger project in ground building the football side is ok but not ripping up trees, so newcastle would be ideal for a up and coming club

Hmm. Two days later and still talk about it being finalised. Wouldn't be surprised if this didn't happen.
Incidentally, I continue to love the media reporting he's Sheikh Mansour's brother, no half brother, no quarter brother (WTF on that one!), cousin, not related, from Abu Dhabi, from Dubai, can't own two clubs, oh wait nothing to do with each other general total cluelessness around the whole thing.
The lack of comprehension thoroughly reinforces the suspicion that they just think all Arabs are the same.
