How long are they going to drag this out for

[Geordie1974]

I can't imagine any scenario where I'd give those b@stards (premier League) credit.

Anybody that contributes, or helps in anyway to rid the club of the cancer that is Mike Ashley will get thanks from me. That includes the PL.

Luke Edwards (Telegraph) has bet a toon fan £50, payable to Bobby Robson foundation, that the Prem will block the deal.

No, I know what you mean and, currently, I'm right with you.

There's just that possibility that the PL have actually helped us out by not dismissing the bid out of hand at the first opportunity and instead have said x, y and z need to happen before we pass this so get them sorted and we'll speak again?

Just a thought-might not be the case.

But how many x,y and z's need to happen before acceptance. I'll bet a pound to a penny, had it been Manure, L'Arse or Spuds it would have gone through without a pause or murmur.
