Shadow Puppets

For what it’s worth, Caulkin has been replying to some fans after he’d spoken to his sources earlier today...

Really enjoyed that. Good to see that, although largely 85% pro takeover, there was plenty of nuance in the conversation. ?

Yeah I’m firmly in the camp that the meeting is designed to try to convince NUFC fans that it’s not a good idea...or it will certainly be spun that way. Not sure of the benefit of it. Seems futile when the takeover hasn’t even happened yet and will only likely breed negative headlines.

Aye - could see that all day long. My main fear also as it enables the fat lad to move the goalposts. You really think there’s any chance of Mike Ashley having the balls to move the goalposts against MBS? ?

Basically, he posted to get some reactions, and is now backtracking.

Because everyone is just so fucking impatient. There is literally NO reason to panic... nothing at all has changed in the last 48 hours to suggest for any reason that this won't happen.

Or Luke Edwards is being a WUM (as always). Just ignore it.

Like Mike Ashley would try that with the Saudis ?

IT IS impossible. Just ignore it man, honestly. You're going to give yourself an ulcer. The facts are there is documentation at companies showing the deposit being paid, and confirmation in the PL reply to Amnesty last week, that the tests were underway. Just chill out.

Just chill the fuck out.

See... nothing to worry about...

It’s been playing out for over 3 weeks now. Which is fine, considering it's been said repeatedly that it could easily take 4.

I’m sorry like, but Edwards has NOT said that no price has been agreed. Why the meltdown. Of course it has. It is with the PL. The PL have confirmed it is. There are legal documents at companies house relating to the deposit. Stop fucking doing this to yourselves...it’s fine man...just chill.

I’m following this very closely and as far as I can see, there is literally nothing to worry about.

Some right over-emotional nonsense in this thread today like. There is literally nothing to suggest that this won’t go through. All reputable journalists say it will. Stavely, via Caulkin, hasn’t said anything to the contrary, so as far as I can see it’s literally a matter of time. Just chill the fuck out ?

You guys are honestly so over emotional. ? There is nothing at all to suggest that this won’t go through. In fact, every single credible source says it will go through imminently (within the next week or so). You need to log off for a bit...it’s clearly affecting your mental well being ?

You guys... honestly

It has always been said that it could take up to 4 weeks. So basically 4 weeks from 9th April. I'll only get worried at the end of next week if nothing's changed.

For what it’s worth my only Spurs fan mate loves Poch.

I mean, give over ?

They’re all based off what Caulkin said last night (that he’s heard the checks will be completed today)

I think a Rafa style team with massively improved players would be a joy to watch, to be honest. Confident of a real game plan in every single game.

It would be a PR own goal to get rid of Bruce immediately like...there’s a fairly significant number of (mainly older) fans who like the guy, and think he’s done a decent job in the circumstances. They will obviously be planning for bigger and better things, but keeping Bruce to see out the season is fine in my opinion.

Theres literally no substance to any of that though is there? I mean, I get your objection from a moral standpoint, but that article is designed to lay into the Saudi's... there's no substance or evidence to be worried about in that paragraph above, other than to serve the narrative of the piece.
