I'd be interested to hear if anyone agrees with you, to me the whole idea is completely beyond the bounds of possibility.

Now you see, the whole point of a discussion forum is to put forward an individual's views. I wasn't aware mine had be cleared by yourself first.

Well that was my point - why you didn't continue to put forward your views and instead started indulging in childish sarcasm. I don't remember posting anything to suggest that your views had to be cleared by me first but maybe I've missed that as well?

So a group of Nigerians are set to buy out Newcastle from Mike Ashley.

I wonder did they initially contact him by email, saying they'd pay by Western Union Money Transfer?

Showing a lot of promise, giving people high expectations but eventually delivering nothing? Why would they want Newcastle United...

[Russ]

Perhaps it was a dare.

I think Man City continually crapping-out most games in the run up to the end of the year will mean the Arabs are going to spend massively in January and I wouldn't mind betting it'll be a transfer bill that would even make Abramovich blush.
