    The Secret Footballer is believed to be Dave Kitson.
    How the fuck would Dave Kitson know about our takeover when people on here with good connections to the club don't know.

    Still amazed that the Aussies are still there. They either have the money or they don't, what have they been waiting all year for?

    The price to come down to a realistic level, perhaps.

    Which surely won't happen now we're in a higher league. A championship side has to be worth more than a league one side?

    why would you pay him say 10m on promotion if you can wait until we are promoted and pay a more realistic price. Personally I’m happy the Aussies are still hanging around. Shows they are serious about buying the Club but not willing to pay an unrealistic price for it. Others have walked never to be seen or heard from again.

    Roland keeping the price the same, the only problem is we need to be in the premier league for it to be realistic.

    Who knows with Roland.  He is irrational.  He's said he'd sell the club for £1 and it was the land value he was basing the value on.

    Of course it is all nonsense, the price is based on how much he has lost not how much the club, or land is worth.

    Was muir there then?
    Muir and Murphy sitting with Murray
    I hope someone told all 3 to do one. Aussies only turn up to play off games. Worse than my little brother....... at least he comes over for a couple of regular games in a season as well.

    The proposed buying of Newcastle is in its early stages and a long way from being done

    That wouldn't necessarily make them bad investors though?

    For the greater good.

    I think it may even be worth stroking Roland's ego and just gently push him towards getting the sale done.

    Of course, it would just be a complete lie.

    We want new owners. Roland wants rid of us.

    An agreement has to be made and it is in his hands to do so.

    I believe a takeover is now a lot more likely.

    Let's be positive and let's stay positive.

    Don't get angry and or frustrated.

    We have interested parties and it would be fantastic if (as long as they are fully confirmed to be fit and proper) we have new owners before next season starts.

    We would then 100% have our club back and really start looking forward to a very bright future again. 🙂

    A guess is that a price may have been agreed, predicated on the club being promoted to the Championship, and Roland wouldn’t reduce it while we were in League One. 
    And that feeling strengthened when I figured that Gerard was coming to the match.

    Hope he’s bought a new biro, to finish off that last form that needs submitting....

    Based on nothing other than a hunch, I think it's a done deal.  Maybe even this week.  

    Bowyer said something that made me think it has been, as did the tone of some of the comms from the club.  It sounds like a badly kept secret.

    Sorry but I think if it was a done deal we would have heard it from a few more sources than just the secret footballer. I’m sure there are interested parties but there has been for 2 years.

    If the  Aussies don’t follow up now they never will. Any wavering investors will be persuaded right now. Otherwise I guess they still need to find others to stump up cash.

    Agreed it's now or never for The Aussies the way I see it. They've had over 12 months officially to sort out a price and deal and if League One was the hurdle then it's now gone and now is the time to deal.

    Maybe the Aussies have finally found that missing document which has been pending for 18 months

    Pretty sure Kitson was involved in potential take overs before, could be inside knowledge.

    In April Dave Kitson said Newcastle would be sold by the end of the season.

    Today there’s an article on terms being agreed for Newcastle’s takeover.

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/05/27/sheikh-khaled-releases-statement-newcastle-takeover-have-agreed/

    If this goes through I guess we’ll be seeing more rumours of Mike Ashley buying us.

    Piss weak drivel from a low rent onanist (secret hasbeen)
    Anybody giving this airtime needs a checkup from the neck up
    or for our younger readers Don’t Feed The Troll

    Any actual or FFS imminent new owner would have been all over yesterday lapping up the glad tidings, kissing babies and glad handing we faithful 

    as as you were, back to work Tuesday, nothing to see here
