The office appears to be an expensive condo near Orchard road.

Fool me once and all that

It’s dead in its current form imo. I don’t see the PIF returning to the table. they are clearly affronted by whet the PL is requesting.

I mean. By the letter of the test it should have gone through. I hope NUST push the premier league on why a decision wasn’t made with the information provided. M It’s a shame the consortium appear to have no appetite for legal action.

Still in the information-gathering stage. I have not heard of them even a week ago but they are in the top three mainstream media - ST, CNA in the past 2 days and Zaobao, the top local Chinese language newspaper two years ago. The latter mentions they wanted to maintain low profiles so that could be why we don't read much about them. Avid sports fans, contributes to charities. But then Peter Lim is also that, and I hate for us to be another Valencia. Currently at the "be careful what you wish for" stage. Even if I want Ashley out. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Despite the report in Zaobao I can’t help but be highly suspicious given the awful photoshops etc. Thanks for sharing what you find.

LRD[/member] Thoughts on this bid?

To add. The registered office appears to be of shared office provider Regus. They have a turnover of 14billion but nobody has ever heard of them. Definitely smacks of free PR fakeover

They claim to have revenue which has more than Nvidia yet nobody has heard of them Imagine if this somehow happened and we became Wigan. The irony of the fit and proper persons test would be next level

I can’t help but wonder if this is some form elaborate marketing scheme for a MLM. Free press in Singapore’s two largest media entities.

Being reported here too. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/sport/singaporean-investors-negotiating-buy-newcastle-united-13024904 Proof of funds submitted on the 10/9 according to the group

I was at Sungei road Laksa last week According to Google Maps many, many years ago I stopped in the hostel two streets over. I’m taking this as a positive or at least an omen to have some laksa. I’m sure you will be back, when you return I can highly recommend it.

Exactly the kind of signing I’d expect from Ashley and Bruce.

That seems to be a press release from the group themselves

Seems like the Bellagraph Nova Group is behind this. This is what Michael Chopra has been ”excited” about. As someone living in Singapore I’ve never heard of this group or these two individuals. They don’t feature on top 50 richest people living here either.

I’ve never heard of them before.

Who was the last state to try and buy a PL club? My post didn’t mention states. Also a state wasn’t trying to buy us a sovereign wealth fund was.

It may well be Pr but given she has no control over the outcome I’m inclined to give the benefit of the doubt. She’s probably wondering why they had no issue with questionable owners before but now they do.

Her request for fans to now do their part. That's all. There's nothing we can do. Yeah, that bit is puzzling indeed. I can only Guess she hoped it might pressure the premier league into a u-turn. Interesting precedent they have set with this though.

The offer clearly was genuine and literally failed due to premier league approval. I’m not sure what people’s beef with Staveley could be over this mind. I could understand if it was fake bids and such again but this was literally ready to go

Why should we? Nothing she has told Caulkin et al has come to pass. That's 3 years of being confident of buying us ffs. If she had some sort of track record for telling the truth then I could see your point. On a side note, what happens if she's laughed out of court in her case against Barclays? Because all of the journalists reporting on this also aren’t bastions of integrity and it’s the only official statement we have had? I’m not sure why you seem to absolutely loathe somehow who hasn’t done anything to you but crack on.
