What are you on? Have you just woke up from a 6 months coma, The Takeover, the big 6 project......Aye the Pl are Snow White. If PIF etc haven't provided what they need, then make a decision and say rejected because of x, y and z. Don't f***ing hide behind 'no decision has been made'. But how do you know the decision process is even structured like that? It could be a case of 'until you provide us with proof of X, Y and Z we can't approve the takeover'. 'We'll approve it when you provide this and that'. Therefore its not a formal rejection, its a case of the PL being willing if certain requirements are met, which as of yet haven't. Even if the approval process was on a Accept/Reject spectrum, rejecting it could terminate any legal/administrative progress that has been made up to that point. They bidders would essentially have to start the entire process at all. I can't see a logical reason as to why the PL wouldnt be in favour of a takeover if it met certain requirements. It goes completely again their interests. Are you on the wind up ? If you can’t see a logical reason I f***ing despair. Well howay then oracle. Explain to me why it makes any sort of business sense for the PL to block more income and growth in the league and why they haven't done it before? An answer that consists of more than 'muh corruption' or pasting the f***ing tweets of known lunatic Burnsie into the thread if possible.. What is your definition of the PL ? You do realise it consists of 20 stakeholders of which 6 are clearly calling the shots. Masters and Hoffman have been hand picked by clubs within top 6 to carry out their agenda, once they cease to do this they will be gone. You don’t seem to accept there’s corruption despite the revelations of the past couple of weeks ? Why would the top 6 want to allow another club to threaten their income , it’s akin to turkeys voting for xmas. Also who do you believe within the PL wants the income or growth from this takeover Masters, Fenway, Levy ? I’ll tell you who no one. I actually think a twitter lunatic might have a better grasp on this than yourself to be honest. Don’t try and re write history, you’re knowledge of this takeover could be written on the back of a postage stamp. That was your response? You genuinely think that the takeover hasnt gone through because 'the top 6' have hand picked the CEO of PL to carry out their agenda. You're sitting there saying, the PL chief exec, would be against further income and growth within the league. Thats the basis of them rejecting the takeover. You're a moron. I mean, there are a couple of examples of corruption in football, not least around one of the parties involved here

Does edwards have loads of accounts on here?

Decent chance they will too

The Saudi takeover of NUFC no longer exists as a going concern. Ashley is pursuing damages on the grounds of restraint of trade. No-one should give a shit whether he gets what he wants on that front. If Ashley wins that case by proving the PL were "wrong", does it not open up the takeover to proceed? If the Saudis are still interested If course. Is there any Staveley or Reuben brothers action at all? He doesn’t know any of this, it’s his opinion, or that of his source.

>>>>>IGNORE THE BELOW POST IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ A NON-OPTIMISTIC APPRAISAL OF THE TAKEOVER OF NUFC<<<<< Neither of those things are illegal (obviously). Here's what has actually happened, and what will come to light when this sorry saga finally peters out for good: this Keith Patterson bloke and his pal have spunked some money up the wall to pay for a letter from a very expensive QC. The letter had no impact on anything because its argument (that the Premier League not approving a takeover of a club by the biggest pirates of Premier League IP was a violation of competition law) was nonsense. That's where Robert O'Donoghue's involvement began and ended - he knew it was nonsense but someone paid his fees so he had little choice but to put together a nonsense argument (note that the talk of 'letters before action' and legal action being imminent disappeared into the ether...). The idea that Patterson is part of a co-ordinated legal attack concocted by some mixture of Ashley, Staveley, the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia and the Reuben brothers is genuinely insane. Recruiting local gobshites to pen appallingly-written letters to MPs is not how billionaires pursue legal strategies. Patterson, like Wraith, is a know-nothing gobshite using the desperation of fans to raise his profile for reasons we can only speculate on. The Saudi takeover of NUFC no longer exists as a going concern. Ashley is pursuing damages on the grounds of restraint of trade. No-one should give a shit whether he gets what he wants on that front. Just one question? Is any of this fact or just your opinion? Some would claim the same person thought Rashford gave the ball away constantly because he was too concerned for starving children. Who knows?

Is Mauriss still interested though IMTTS[/member] ?

Great goal. Really well worked. We're f***ed. Proper f***ed. We aren’t like you and others are totally underestimating the impact ASM will have. I bet we finish at least 6 points above 18th and Bruce and Ashley are still here in August. I'll take that bet. Stake? Loser has to get an Almiron tattoo.

This Leeds team schooled Bruce not long ago. Weird.

Really does depend how close the takeover actually is. It’ll be too late as soon as we drop into the bottom 3.

Tuesday morning. Only logical outcome.

Hey Yorkie[/member] still feeling like we won't go down? I need some positive thoughts.

Cronky is a superb WUM by the way. He's so consistent with it.

One of the NCSL fan group (along with Gordon Stein). He's a estate agent by trade.

2-0

Aren't the rumors he is on less than most League One MDs? If the figures thrown about here and on twitter are accurate, you can safely fell non irritated. It's good money yes, and more than he deserves as he isn't qualified to run South Shields, but hardly eye popping. League one MD's won't be near what he is. Maybe upper championship. I can absolutely confirm that the majority of league one MD’s earn nowhere near that amount.

I don't think that was Caulkin, it was Kennedy that NCSL spoke about tonight imo. Some very very interesting stuff again, a Newcastle reporting journo definitely has a motive to put a spanner in the works (think we all know who that is), and also the Bein letter about getting other PL clubs to oppose the takeover is being used as evidence. He thinks it will be done before spring. Nearly there now lads! Aye your probably right about Kennedy, I am so sorry @9Shearergol[/member] for offending you What?

Everything ok Ben? Suspect you’ve been on the cans all day.

If there was no challenge we'll hear on Monday. Otherwise we'll hear by the end of the month.

I was trying to work out who got our goals last season. Had a look and saw it was Shelvey with 6 How the hell did we survive?

Sonia's bush is gonna make a comeback if this thread keeps going the way it is.

Ronaldo He still on here?? Afraid not, the Tory wanker Big miss on the footy forum at least, thankfully he’s still posting... As which user? He lurks among us, do your own detective work I honestly wouldn’t have a clue. Is it obvious?
