Bruce was told we signed De Marco, hes satisfied with that and doesn't think we need any more additions.

All of these at the time of appointment were so so bad in a tactical knowledge sense. Just absurd why you would take such a big risk on any of these with no proof of actual success. It's all about doing what you're told and to not bad mouth Ashley as we know, but surely he had better options than these? Kinnear was the strangest one, he was disconnected from management for so so long, was obvious he was going to use out dated tactics and systems, immediately putting the club under pressure with poor results and performances.

Even more so now in hindsight, but the PL were never going to allow this takeover to someone who stole from their biggest media partner. Would be suicide for the PL and their friendship with Bein. What the PL need is Bein happy, them getting the rights in Saudi Arabia is a massive plus for them. It was never ever going to happen while Saudi Arabia were sticking two fingers up at them at the same time as stealing their product. Things are definitely improving, would Bein still want to reject this now that Saudi have let them broadcast again? It makes no sense for them to oppose now that they have the contract to show games in Saudi Arabia.

Not quite. The full letter was published in April: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/bein-sports-chiefs-full-email-21906714 That version from April is now identical to the version Kennedy has published today (now that he's been rumbled and removed the line he/whoever is stringing him along added). If its true that it was only sent to a number of clubs though and not all, that's a positive for the buyers/sellers and a negative for Bein/PL in my opinion.

So Kennedy is implying that the letter he has posted tonight is the actual letter that was sent, and contains more than what was published in April. That Ben Jacobs saying he had seen the full letter in April and it didn't contain the stuff that Kennedy has made public. (mainly the fact that Bein strongly oppose the takeover) So it's pick who you believe really, either Bein leaked that letter in April and decide to hide bits, or Kennedy is risking everything by showing off a letter that had been tampered with.

Link to that chronicle article in April is here https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bein-sports-email-premier-league-18130327.amp?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar&__twitter_impression=true As much as I want to get excited about this I am struggling to think why this is suddenly breaking news by Liam Kennedy. The letter being only sent to select clubs is fucking naughty though.

If our takeover goes through its going to be so good seeing him get told to fuck off. Shrug your shoulders and lick your lips over that one you whacker plate.

I've started noticing this as well 54[/member] , yes. Basically marks the thread below the one I've just viewed as also read. Started happening a week or so ago. At the time, thought it was something to do with the old laptop I was using. Yep, this is certainly happening. Where's Dave when you need him? Came in here to post about this. Happening on my android phone every time.

I keep seeing Liam Kennedy etc saying more news will come out in January. I don't understand this, if something has happened surely it would have come out now? It sounds like something is happening and the end/result will come in January hence "more news to come". I don't think it's the arbitration but cannot think what else it could be.

I have to agree, as soon as I read that letter my instant reaction was embarrassment. I'm supportive of what NCSL are doing, but if you're writing to the Prime minister, you must act and sound professional. That letter really isn't, even if they do raise some excellent points, it should have been presented in a much better way than that. There's no way a legal professional looked at that and said, "yep that's fine, post it"

Would listen to Rafa as much as possible, quite happily sit through all the post match bollocks on sky as I knew it wouldn't be long before they interview him about the game. Radio appearances, magazine articles, what ever it was the man always had class and spoke with great respect about our cloob. Now we have Bruce telling us we should shut up and take it as it is ffs.
-
I remember when I thought it was going to be done for my birthday, at the end of may. Remember when Ryder said it may not be done until June and everyone nearly had a heart attack from laughing so much

Update on the house - been confirmed that it's Carricks and it is definitely up for sale. No idea if Bruce rents it from him though.
-
According to twitter Ashley's plane/chopper flew down to Bournemouth today then back up to Newcastle. Howe is having a meeting with Charnley. Steve Bruce's House is up for sale (seen pictures of this from an estate agent but no idea if it's indeed where he cooks his bacon) Thought this is definitely the appropriate thread.
