Thanks mate. The wife is taking the kids out later so a day in bed watching the football it is.

I've come down with flu like symptoms overnight so won't make it 😭

True story

Yeah, but I wasn't talking about profitability. I was talking about a quick route to £100m....

My example was related to getting to the EPL from our current position and making £100m from it, to owning a conference and events venue and making £100m from that. It would still be quicker to get £100m by buying a mid-top half Championship team and spending some for promotion than owning a...

We're in a decent position, no? Buy the club, reinforce in January, good chance. No?

Me too! First game of the season.

I've asked the hotel they're staying in tonight to put a little congrats cake in his room. Little touches and all that.

Is this a serious post?? You know that getting up to the EPL is worth at least £100m, right?

Mate, I don't know if you're trying to funny?? All I meant was that @shmmeee had said the only reason some fans think MA is going to buy us is simply because he owned Newcastle. I was implying that and the fact that he tried to buy Derby this year. Cool your beans.

C'mon Dave...name names!

And wanted to buy Derby earlier this year.

You laugh but that's something I could see happening!

I've not tried to say I know their goings on better than them. My point is, effectively kicking a club out to further his business interests (which won't happen anyway) is worse than anything that happened at Newcastle. They got to stay in their ground. He spent millions on players. Regardless...

To make money? Run a venue and make £100m in, erm, 15 years (being generous). Run a Championship club and make £100m in less than 12 months. No brainer really, innit? Anyway, I think we both agree that MA isn't going to kick the club out to further his business interests. It surely helps his...

Adding Sports Direct to a stadium name and 'only investing' net £100m over his time to anger the Geordies is a bit different to getting a club to leave a stadium so he can use it for his business interests. It won't happen anyway.

It would be suicide to play in Cov again, surely. The only reason I can see them doing it is out of stubbornness to prove it 'could' work. I highly doubt they will but if they did try and play in Cov (Arena or elsewhere), I can't wait to watch how that all unfolds with their 'popularity'...

'Could see potential for money to be made'. What from? The club? Cov in the EPL is surely his quickest way to enhancing his bank balance I would've thought. Kicking us out for Arena re-development would garner a lot but not as much as EPL cash.

Regardless if he owns us or not, it would still be a dick move to 'redevelop' the Arena without CCFC due to the negative reaction/PR it would receive when he could buy any plot of land and build from new.
