You can have that one Mark Douglas ⚽️😁 #NEWBRA

4 Years ago today the PIF-led Consortium were given the green light to purchase the Club. 3 Days later the Competition Case ran, with all parties knowing the streamed event would have no impact. 11 Days after the initial Arbitration news, the Takeover was official. ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️ #NUFC

They are reigning back on the huge canopy due to poor design and cost - the land issue is nothing more than an excuse.

I can’t say I’m surprised at the news of a ‘Pitch Document’ for Investment into a new Stadium as revealed by Craig Hope - which is nothing to worry about. I wonder when CGI’s will be released? 🏟️ (picture created with a brief ChatGPT prompt - not a leak). ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️ #NUFC

USG (a) Safe travels to everyone making the journey this week. Lots of weird and wonderful ways of getting there! To help with an idea for numbers, please answer and share poll below Toon Polls Ticket refers to match ticket #NUFC

Sounds weird to say, but I hope Tino suffered a ‘bone bruise’ yesterday and comes back after the International break. ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️ #NUFC

I’m not sure if the bigger news is Newcastle (potentially) staying at my Hotel or finding a Vending Machine for Steaks (when a Kebab just won’t do). ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️ #NUFC

Can confirm the lads did stay at my hotel, their function ended before 22:00 and the night was peaceful (no fireworks). Not an easy game but I’m very hopeful for a win. ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️ #NUFC

Starting to fill up in Brussels. ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️ #NUFC

Refunds not available. Any player wanting to move should put in a Transfer Request instead of downing tools. ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️ #NUFC

The interesting thing about PIF being involved in the purchase of EA for $55B is what do the Saudi’s want from it. And what would FIFA give to be associated with EA FC again. This could be twice that PIF have helped FIFA (Infantino).

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge does not understand ball. ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️ #NUFC

And then 4 Years ago the Takeover was official. ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️ #NUFC

A couple of late filings on Companies House from September (when further equity was put into the Club). ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️ #NUFC

Nice walk along The Quayside tonight…

Will be interesting to see what John Textor does with Botafogo next. Sell up his shares, seek investment, risk dilution of ownership? MCO can be complex. Anyway, I quite like the home kit.

Wor Sandro 💙

Should also give an honourable mention to Mootaz Chehade who broke the news of “a Saudi investment company” looking to purchase Newcastle United from Mike Ashley 7 Years ago. ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️ #NUFC

Looks like we will now play Sunderland on Sunday 14th December (rather than the Saturday). The game against Tottenham has also been moved to Tuesday 2nd December (rather than the Wednesday). ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️ #NUFC
