Kicking off two Saudi takeovers

Comments scream 'give me the sack so I can get my payoff'.

Just add the '...ugh', it's not 2005 on your fucking Sony Xperia.

What an absolute cunt.

He would hardly get any grief if we had a full stadium man. If there was a time to give him grief it was when he walked out for his first game at SJP v Arsenal, instead he was fucking applauded ffs. You're wrong. He'd get shit. Not as much as he should, but I've got no doubt even our most fucking docile of supporters are sick of the fat cunt.

We're not a shitty club. We're a beautiful club with a shitty owner. He's fucking cancer. You wouldn't say you had a shitty Grandma because she was riddled with cancer.

More evidence for De Marco and co to show our takeover was subjected to far stricter scrutiny than any previous. I would have thought the government would have pushed for them to accept the bid. Premier league went to them.... I think they would, but the point is why did they feel they had to go to them. It’s meant to be a confidential process and if scrutiny of our takeover has been shown to be different to others, it all plays into the narrative that we have been treat differently. I expect to tell them that they are going to reject the bid and wanted to explain why (Piracy) or get more info on the buyers. Also we probably have been treated differently but I can't think of any club being bought while at the same time running an illegal sports stations that steals games. I'm still confused by this. Is it PIF that are illegally streaming games? Is this still going on? https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2020/6/16/explainer-the-piracy-case-against-saudis-beoutq-channel Think we all know if the Saudis wanted to shut it down they could. Probably could have but its still got nothing to do with PIF. Separate legal entity which is what do marco is trying to prove. I suppose its a bit like having a limited company over here. I am the sole director and shareholder of my company, i earn its money, i spend it, i have complete control over the business, its direction and its finances. But legally, its separate to me. That's where a problem arises though surely. As the owners and directors test has to find the parties who are have control over said company. With PIF describing themselves as the sovereign wealth fund of the state then the state surely has control over PIF. So it doesn't really matter if it's a separate legal entity in itself in that respect. Exactly this. The Saudi state could turn round after the takeover and dissolve PIF and take over control of all the enterprises PIF entered into including control of NUFC! Lol. Righto. And you REALLY don’t think in that instance that the PL might have something to say, and invoke the yearly O&D Test again to throw the club out of the league? So Isn’t that why they are wanting to test the people who have the power to do that before the takeover happens, I.e MBS. The real question is why won’t he take the test? :lol: Really, so you want MBS to take a test to buy a shitty club in the UK that amounts to 0.00x% of the PIF investment portfolio. So should the Queen have to take various tests everytime the Crown estates want to buy into something? Insane. If the premier league came out and said - we have rejected the takeover bid due to alleged piracy of IP rights etc then fine. Most fans would accept it without a blink of an eye. This not making a decision is just a delay tactic because they know if they actually gave a reason for rejecting it, it could be challenged. Anyway this is old ground, covered so many times in this thread. I wont be writing in this thread again until we hear definitive news from the PL, the club or consortium as we are just going round in circles. Whereas NUFC is just going down (to the championship). Excuse me?

Struggling to come up with the words to describe how much I detest this man. Last night was one of the worst performances from an NUFC side I've ever witnessed. It evoked an emotion I've not felt in a while and I was actually in tears. Mental. Sleep deprived and devoid of most of my privileges' and this cunt just takes a shit on my heart. Fuck you.

Sacked at half time. Please.

Get fucked you fat cunt.

Wouldn't say I like him or dislike him, but I don't get the pure hatred he gets from a lot of our fans, seems pretty weird Not really. He's a self-absorbed, self-promoting tosser. Hes a promoter TBF Doesn't matter. Enjoy the sermon.

He's came across quite well.

Nice one.

Looks like a paedo ring on trial over zoom.

Fuck me, Steve Wraith is an absolute cunt.

Keith Patterson has a mackem accent.

Absolutely. I'm 100% positive we'll be taken over in the next 60 days.

Great news.

He's still a knob.

He did chin another manager, mind.

Barton incoming.

I cannot see the "Big Picture Six" stopping Staveley, PIF, Ashley, Reubens and their high-end legal teams getting this done. Our success will be slow, and hard-earned, but is also INEVITABLE. You can't see something that has already happened? The PL/Big 6 did stop it; they forced PIF to withdraw their offer. I have know idea how the legal action will play out, nobody does, but hopefully it'll go in our favour. To claim the PL/Big 6 can't stop the consortium when they've already stopped them once is just naive. The Big Picture Six (to give them their full name) will never stop this from happening, and what a strange thing for you to say that they "have" done so !!! They will most certainly TRY to stop it happening (they will fail) and they are most certainly able to "hold it up" (as they have already done) but you should not confuse 'holding up' with 'stopping', just as you should not confuse 'trying' with 'succeeding'. And you have the cheek to use the word 'naive' about other people ! If they hadn't "stopped it" once there would be no need for legal action. I want this to happen as much as the next person but I won't let my desperation for it to happen let me think illogically. Thankfully, my brain is unable to be 'illogical' but it is very good indeed at being 'realistic' and at seeing through all the crap that hides realism away from some people. I also know the difference between holding up and stopping !!! Alreet, Spock.

Christ. Damning.

Because they're morons.
