Sounds about as credible as Manto after 5 rum n cokes



"We are serious about Newcastle, we believe they are an iconic institution who deserve to be run professionally," an unnamed spokesperson for the South Africans told the paper.

The spokesperson added that Kevin Keegan, who quit as manager this month, was the key to the group taking control, with another favourite son of the Tyneside club, Alan Shearer, also in their thoughts


Unnamed spokesperson lol...

This discussion probably took place at a bar :)

They need their heads checked if they go through with it.

I didn't know what Magpies meant until I checked my dic-*cough*-tionary


Long-tailed black-and-white crow that utters a raucous chattering call
Someone who collects things that have been discarded by others
An obnoxious and foolish and loquacious talker


The unnamed spokesperson sounds like no. 3.
