This will be one of the times they don't get it done without the need for court, then lose in court. How's that for optimism.

That damn Keith Bishop must have these lawyers under his thumb as well! Forcing them to put it on their site to fool us daft Geordies.

It was on sky news https://news.sky.com/story/mike-ashley-hires-leading-lawyers-for-battle-over-blocked-newcastle-united-takeover-12071693

I have no clue about it, but would mbs being involved effectively make the club 'state owned'? Is that allowed?

PL will have made fools of themselves if they have to backtrack under threat of legal action. Stupid bastards should have just let it go through first time and there would have been a lot less fuss. Aye, if they don't go down kicking and screaming, it will speak volumes of the corruption/ineptitude.

We need to know what his legal action is for first. According to the mail it's not motivated by compensation so it must be true.

I'm fairly sure the club/buyers have some form of assurance that there is a case, you don't got this far on impulse.

This is what I was just thinking. I wish I'd never fucking heard another thing about it. Now I'm just gutted/pissed off all over again. I think I must have missed the part about it being Tuesday specifically but the information that's come out this week has been so confusing, i'm not yet convinced it was ever genuinely close. You could be right. Regardless I was still happy not to hear another fuckin thing about this and ignore the football forum till the missus mentioned something about the Prem rejecting it, then I was straight back in sucker for punishment.

Hope she didn't accept the invite to the Saudi Consulate hope she didn't accept the invite to Sean's house for a chat with a fans representative He probably arrived at hers unannounced....in a balaclava. Think we need to do as ED209 said.

Most likely.

This feels different....

It gets worse Steve Bruce wants Chris smalling according to Keith downie Worst thing is, despite 'being out', I'll still watch the cunts next season and be fucking gutted each time. I'll be back to not caring about the results, but every time I watch us, the thought of what could have been (again) will be a killer.

Fucks sake this is depressing

Why would she waste her own time as well as everyone else's. Angry little men lol. Go take a fucking look in the mirror man. If anyone in the consortium is to blame its the Saudis. Staveley has tried for 3 years to buy us one way or the other. Its not her fault it fell through. How would she know what the PL would demand? No point engaging. He actually believed and repeated Ashley's 'tyre kicker' comments about Staveley. Believed Ashley. That's enough to put anyone on ignore.

The chopping up of journalists isn’t a problem, but if they have been flogging snidey boxes down the Singapore market then they are fucked. ... or if they have enough wealth to upset the leagues favoured clubs.

I'd gladly hear her name if it's about her still trying to buy us. She seems a bit shit at it, though. Not sure this is her fault like.

Don't do it to yourself mate. It's done. There's nothing left for me at this club now (again) until someone else tries to buy us.

get in.

Another issue, and one I want to shift the focus to briefly, is the supposed opposition from other premier league clubs. The only teams I saw specifically mentioned were Tottenham and Liverpool, but let's assume the entire top 6 had reservations along with others. On what grounds would they be objecting? This is a question I can't find an answer to that sounds like anything other than sour grapes. Well you'd think that most people would object to Saudi's owning a club in the PL based on moral issues . It "shouldn't" have any standing in the PL tests, but you can see why the majority of people/clubs would object to it. It's like why Daniel Bryan refuses to be part of the WWE events in Saudi Is that not referring to the premier league clubs objecting? In which case it's absolutely nothing to do with human rights and 100% due to sour grapes/not wanting to upset the status quo.
