Honey Honey

20 London bus drivers have died. From Monday no one is allowed to board at the front of the bus. There's talk that when the tube opens back up no one will be allowed on without a mask, but obvious procurement problem to overcome before then.

Whether you badly worded your original point or just can't accept being wrong and are coming up with new twists, the point being addressed is about whether there will be any money spent and the snipe at fans of the club thinking their might be. Quarters of the press have said money will be spent. That's where the idea being entertained comes from. Fans don't just make it up like you said. Truth is this all stems from you being a salty mackem of sorts. You can't post about Newcastle without a dig at the fans.

London in good reverse.

Read your own initial post again carefully. You were talking about spending power, that happening is in the papers. Simple as that. That's where people get it from. Simple as that.

I was addressing your original point. You've now completely changed it from Venky's and Duchâtelet to spunking £300m on mercenaries. The Newcastle before Mike Ashley, the Newcastle I grew up on, was a regular in Europe with cup runs and marquee signings. That's where I'd like to be back to.

"People" are simply entertaining what the press are telling them. They don't make it up based on wikipedia calculations of wealth.

Football finance expert Kieran Maguire thinks within FFP a £150m transfer budget in the next window and a significant wage bill increase will be possible. Of course we have no clue what the new owners are up for doing. It's all speculation at the moment.

We wouldn't be able to attract big names overnight and there's always a risk you do an Everton when you have a lot of money. Goal would have to be gradual increase. Starting with pulling away from the dross and becoming solid top 8. That shouldn't be too hard as we don't need to build a team from scratch for that.

Taking it as media talk at the minute. We know Staveley and the Rueben brothers are involved. We don't know yet if and how much the Saudi's are involved. I recall an article over a year ago saying Staveley and her backers would not spend massively. Whether this is the same backers I don't know. The Saudi's are pivoting to sport washing now, as we saw with the Joshua fight and soon Formula 1.

How many goals do you think Andy Carroll can get next season with Gareth Bale on the wing?

It's only right that Tony Blair's supposed boyhood club are owned by the Saudi's who pay him for his advice

Furloughed staff get 80% of their salary, which the government pays.

The furloughed staff are hoping that they'll get full pay when the new owners come in.

The usual suspects in the US took to the streets with rifles.

Football is high profile and noticeable. Risky for someone under scrutiny. Mike Ashley got far more public scrutiny by making himself known through football than others in his industry. Saudi involvement in things like Twitter, Uber and Snapchat goes unnoticed. This won't. Questions will constantly be asked.

I wonder if that might partly explains this

Vaccine human trials in England are starting in the next 2 weeks. If all goes well there could be a vaccine available for frontline workers by September.

Yes I was one of them and so were the flag makers Ticket prices weren't reduced. 10,000 season tickets were given away for free.
