Don’t hold your breath though.

Daily Mail running it now - bit of pace gathering on this story.

Sheik Khalid's rep said that the sale was 'concluded'.

Interesting.

As i said on the other thread.

Newcastle have also said "No comment" when usually it's flat out denial.

All will become clear in due course!!

Could be time to party! It may be nothing...but I did get a flutter of butterflies when my phone beeped with the Sun story.

We have usually done things on the quiet and it would explain the Rafa stand off...maybe he's just been waiting for the take over to happen!?

We shouldn't get ahead of ourselves...but fingers crossed!

He'll be agreeing with the Mackems who are already trying to laugh it off because we are going to spend loads and win nothing. Yeah...I wish I was in their position.

I think it is total boIIocks.

I think it is total boIIocks.

I can't disagree. But I really want it to be true and it's being reported all over the place.

We can but dream.

Don't get me wrong, I would love it to be true...

Just can't believe it, especialy as it was The Sun who ran the story first.
