SUPERTOON

There's a path through this that is anti Ashley and anti Saudi that gets us through the other side with some integrity. The soul of the club is as important as the success of the club. If you don't believe that then what are we doing? What path is that then? Fight Ashley, protest against Saudi involvement in the club. Protect the soul of NUFC. You all keep saying we are special but have rolled over and stuck your legs in the air for the first billionaire that's got a chance of prising us from Ashley's grip. We are special we should be fighting to remain so. If we don't then what's the point? Fight either of them how ? Been fighting Ashley for 13 years and nothing has changed.

How ? That letter gives absolutely nothing away.

Have we? According to Ashley, there would have been loads of people but he's a dick to deal with. Notice how he agreed a price instantly this time? That isn't because they are richer than the rest I mean they are quite clearly richer than the rest aren’t they ?

Hopefully the takeover is confirmed one way or another by then so I can decide if I want us to win or not.

So we have struggled to find anyone for 13 years to stump up the cash, and now we are being told there are others waiting if this deal falls through. Don’t really believe that will happen.

It’s the exact same story from last night, it’s literally the worst attempt at a story from the press so far.

The telegraph article confirms to me that the journalists really don’t have a clue if that’s what they are making a story out of.

Geoff Shreeves says they are waiting for the WTO report

Not going through all this again if this fails, it’s this bid or none for me.

Absolutely no idea how the telegraph got that headline from that letter btw and I’m the most pessimistic person regarding this takeover on here ?

Ziyech and Werner two brilliant early deals for Chelsea.

Is everyone on here who has been 100% confident since day 1 of this going through, still feeling the same way?

George is one of the guys who never said it is close or done. If they are still asking for details about the piracy this week that means we are in long haul and nothing is imminent. Didn’t he say a out 4 weeks ago it was days away from being done ?

So basically he knows pretty much nothing then Yep he’s as much in the dark as every other journalist. He, and Chris, are by far the most ITK, but of course they won't know every little detail. Yep and Jason Burt, however they all seem to be as surprised as any of us that this hasn’t been done yet after what they had been told.

So basically he knows pretty much nothing then Yep he’s as much in the dark as every other journalist.

Mid Jun according to the Guardian article from last week, unless things have changed since then.

Only in delaying a decision till the final report, not in actually blocking the takeover.

Caulkin is pretty close to Bruce as well, so he isn’t going to write anything negative about him.

Does this WTO report carry any clout in terms of whether they can reject the takeover based on what is said in it? Have a look at the twitter link I posted previous page as it gives an insight to this Just this second read it. I take it as the WTO report is nothing to worry about? Yep, other than it delaying it even longer, no matter what is in it, it can’t stop the takeover legally.

So surely the final copy must be different from the draft copy to warrant them waiting for it. It must also contain new evidence to what they already have, otherwise what would be the point in waiting.

I am all in with the Saudis, and have always been since they first pitched in. I am not really interested in American owners, or for that matter most of the other options mentioned. As others have mentioned, they'll probably just load the club with debt Glazer style. I think this is a once in a lifetime chance with Stavely. Reubens and PIF, if it falls through, not really arsed if we get sold or not. Same, and it’s not exactly a quick process even if someone else does come in.

That’s the one he is on about
