Exactly where I am at. And not a chance am I following this takeover shit if it still hasn't been concluded one way or the other by the beginning of of next season. Ashley will never have a stronger hand than he currently does, what with all of the corrupt shenanigans that has gone on over the last month. If he cannot get the PL to cave in this summer then this takeover is never happening.

Fulham probably won't even beat Burnley tbh.

I'm glad they are paying it no attention tbh. I want this all done without the media raking up the muck again.

Honestly, if this was happening at any other club and it was us looking in then I would be certain that the takeover would go through. But it is NUFC and I still just can't see it happening. Maybe I'm just too hard bitten by all of the horrendous bad luck we have had over the last 25 years.

Fuck's sake. For 5 mins I was giddy with excitement but those Jacobs tweets have punched me right in the gut again.

If the legal team cannot get it through this summer, bearing in mind how vulnerable & corrupt the PL currently look, then this will never go through. If it drags on into next season then its all bullshit and nothing more will happen other than possible compo to Ashley.

I really can't see the Glazers selling up. MUFC is a massive cash cow for them.

Absolutely this. It was a combination of hating that the Glazers fleece the club and also that they can see, right before their eyes, that Man City are ever increasingly moving way ahead of them on every level. If they were still at the top of the tree there would not have been an ounce of protest.

This isn't over yet IMO. We will lose at Leicester which then gives Fulham a big incentive to beat Burnley. If they do then it's all up in the air once again.

It's been said many times before, but if Ashley had been at Man Utd or Liverpool and he'd done to them what he has done to us he'd have been chased within a couple of years.

Agree. I respect him for putting his time and money into trying to make a difference but he just needs to shut the fuck up now. Unless something big comes out today this has been an embarrassing week for him.

Is Edwards really this dense? Does he really need to be shown that Bin Salman isn't hiding anything and readily displays to the world that he is the Chairman of PIF? https://www.pif.gov.sa/en/Pages/Boradmembers.aspx Does he have any idea at all what this legal action is trying to show? I mean it's not exactly rocket science. The bald cunt deserves every bit of abuse that may be coming his way. Absolute whopper.

First post back and he's straight back into the takeover negativity. He's consumed by the takeover, just like we all are. Difference is that some of us at least admit to it.

Yep, Exile 1968. I mentioned him in this thread a month or so ago. He's the most bitter SMB I have come across on that forum, which is a feat in itself. If the takeover goes through people are gonna have to keep a check on his mental state.

Aye. But in this thread we can speculate that he is also hinting about the takeover that really matters.

Saudi Royal Court Advisor, with blue tick.....and he posted this earlier today. Positive Optimism 'n all that.

Edit : wrong thread...

They've never been top in all of their time down there since being relegated. They were briefly 2nd for a couple of hours one weekend when they had an early kick off but were knocked back into the play-off places once all of the matches had been completed that day.

Jacobs teasing positive vibes again...

This idea that it has been fan protests that have stopped this happening are laughable. It's the government's "legislative bomb" threat that smashed it. They anticipated everything, except that.

The government have clearly stated this week they welcome foreign investment in our clubs. That shitty argument is not going to stand.

The ODT is in tatters now. It is literally a joke. Nothing in it should be taken remotely seriously. Unless of course the six clubs get the punishment that the rules state they should.

Agree. And to be honest, the government could legitimately get involved in this now...in full glow of the media...and force it through, playing on the clear evidence that the game is bent, controlled by a cartel and in need of serious reform. And there would be nothing any of the shysters in the media could say against it. The evidence is irrefutable. We said last summer there was a cabal of owners controlling the game and the evidence is now out there for everyone to see.

The only way they can now justify knocking back the Saudis, on any moral basis relating to a threat to the integrity of the game, is if they also immediately throw out the owners of the horrible six. I await with bated breath....

This shambles has strengthed our case in any legal battle, there cannot be any doubt about that.
