    Oh well...

    It was nice while it lasted

    From Luke Edwards:

    "treat these claims a takeover is close with a huge dose of salts. All that seems to have happened is a price has been agreed. That's a long way from a bid being accepted. Phone full of messages doubting the validity of it all. No proof of funds, less than flattering descriptions of how much he is worth and general bemusement people have claimed a deal is close to being done. Long, long way from negotiations being completed "


    ....

    Not so sure...

    While people can lather up the press, Fat Pig will soon flush out blaggers because it is not the first time someone says they want to buy Newcastle but simply doesn't have dosh.

    Yes, but the transfer window has just opened.

    Oh well.
    Reading this I thought to have a look at the Bin Zayed Group's website and oh dear - http://www.binzayed.com
    Looks like the site hasn't been updated in a good while - not what you would expect from a large successful company.
    For instance the "Vision" page states "By 2014, through collaboration, trust and empowerment, we aspire..." blah blah. The copyright on the site is marked 2008.
    They do have an up to date page at http://www.binzayed.com/binzayedenergy (2019) but it is just a basic landing page which can be knocked up pretty quickly.
    Not really what I would expect tbh

    Mind, it just goes to show how minging the BBC and Sly news are, reporting on here say yet again without bothering to investigate.

    Mitch... the geordie dentist...

    He is a mate of mine and he lives and works in Dubai...

    He has investigated and written a long winded report on Twitter and / for the ronnie gill.

    Things arent as bad as you are dreading... this could still be a good week to be a toon fan.

    Umm when the big man sings I can start to possibly believe it. Could be a wind up and the one thing that Ashley said that makes sense is that they use this as a publicity avenue to get there name out there! That's about the only thing I would agree with him on.
