Ffs man

So how do they get out of this? Do nothing? Ain't going to work now, they have to make a decision and take a side. I'm not sure they do. It's just going to be ignored as they have down for 4 month until it goes away. That isn't happening now. It was, but the buyers blew them out of the water and exposed that tactic. Pretty much every outside body has said they need to explain themselves or come up with a decision, including the government. They’re not accountable to the government though. You’re still clutching at straws here. This. It doesn't matter who says what. If and when they do actually say something it'll be them telling us it's a confidential process, they stand by it and it wasn't succesful/buyers walked away. They don't have to do anything, they don't have to be transparent about their process regardless who tells them to. If they don't want to let them in, it's unfortunately up to them.

They really aren't caught between a rock and a hard place though, they'll literally do nothing... say nothing... and get away with it. It's that simple imo. I honestly believe that despite our best efforts, nothing will have an effect on the decision that these corrupt cunts have already made.

It won't make a difference to the PL's stance as admirable as it has been from everyone. They've already made their mind up and it's not going to change. So what if Newcastle and its football fans are unhappy? As long as Liverpool, spurs, qataris and the rest don't get upset. It's going to be ignored until it goes away and the likes of sky etc will allow it to disappear.

Hopefully that's exactly where we'll be if we still have the three stooges running the show.

Yet it still means fuckin nowt. As positive as I want to be.... All this is just built up hope. Looking for positives in everything. I just can't see anything changing with the PL. It's effectively over.

Just taking that as a letter of thanks tbh. Nice of her if nothing else, don't think it means much other than thanks. Imagine actually having someone like that in charge of the club? Someone who talks to the fans and isn't a vindictive fuckin parasite.

Do they shite. I'll be surprised if we hear anything from them again re the takeover, other than 'the buyers pulled out, nothing to see here'.

Seems its destined to just fizzle into nothing again. We won't get anything from the premier league.

Ended up in Whickham myself which was very... very marginally better than the school I lived 3 minutes walk from...Kingsmeadow. Hardly a stick to beat a parent with tbf.

Not a bad shout.

'It's a confidential process' It's the only response anyone will get.

Problem there is that you can't make a deal contingent on something not legal. Which is why Staveley's quotes can't be taken at face value. What were the exact quotes, anyway? EDIT "Country" in that context clearly means government, and is confirmed in the second sentence I would just assume the PL aren't actually saying they want them to become director, more that they believe they basically will be directors but the consortium aren't declaring that.....and therein lies the problem. They can't say they are directors, and can't prove that they won't have influence (although they believe they have) and now it's still just the stalemate we've been at for months only now the consortium are sick of it. Really wish I could just keep out of here.

I thought that was a given tbh.

She won't because she's a flat out liar. People still thinking they might come back in - if she does it'll be another long, failed affair. Jog on son. Aye. He's an boring cunt. Only seen this comment as you quoted it. Absolute sad act.

Well his 350 million bid should be agreed now and his pr is in full swing. At least at the data room now. Next week is my guess.

I envy those in here who never wanted this to go through. Imagine not being gutted about the whole mess? Bliss.

Absolutely shameless I think a ban is in order. There's definitely a few required, but HTT isn't one of them!

Rafa pulled me back (slightly) with a glimmer of hope, once that ended I returned to my post Rafa stance: "fuck it all", got pulled back again with this takeover talk. Now I'm 'relegate them', I'll be actively wanting NUFC to be humiliated by Bruce and Ashley. Done.

My exact response. It's things like that which make me think we don't deserve good things. Jesus, what a fuckin mess. Imagine making/posting that thinking it was a good thing to do.

Why am I keep seeing stuff about the league not being told? Wasn't it said yesterday that they'd 'formally' pulled out?

I bought a few of my favourites especially, drank standard IPA's etc to keep me away from them. Spoken like a true plonky.

Been off the drink all week, was only planning on having one tomorrow. Terrible timing either way. I envy your will power.
