It is off like. And it was a group statement. Not PIF: “With a deep appreciation for the Newcastle community and the significance of its football club, we have come to the decision to withdraw our interest in acquiring Newcastle United Football Club,” You can’t a get much clearer statement than that like. Put as much positivity out as you like but anything other than the deal being formally off is just speculation, at the moment.

You need a balance of optimism and reality. The deal is off. However, if the PL are proved to be in breach then they will be fined, I guess heads will roll and the potential to undertake another takeover bid has a lot more chance of being successful.

Government vote of no confidence in Masters??

Hope it doesn’t drop at 3pm. HTT will be insufferable!

Can we stop with this sort of shit please, her husband to be was murdered by the state trying to take us over because he dared to speak out over there abhorrent practices, she has every right to try as hard as she can to make life difficult for the people that made it happen. And I say that wanting the takeover to succeed. Soz Eddy

Plastic fiancé letter incoming

This about compensation for a failed takeover or for another go at a takeover?

Thing is it has failed. That’s what all the legal shite is about. Hopefully when the legal shite is resolved they come back in for us.

Still all about the failed takeover then?

As negative as ever I see. You know me Scoot But let’s recap the facts: Buyers officially withdraw offer Manager confirms deal dead Owner starts legal proceedings due to failure of sale PL says nothing to answer to wrt breach of competition act. To counter that we have: Mimms posts (hope he really has a contact by the way) and a couple of old fellas posting telling everyone one that no news is good news (I admire their optimism). A bloke posting about bread and a few Twitter likes to fans

PL checkmate. NCSL have been flogging a dead horse.

Cans in fridge for 3 weeks now

You’ve got to scroll a long way down the bbc scores page to find their result!

Yet to be proved and potentially libellous. NUST need to be pretty astute with their approach when they enter into dialogue with professional organisations.

If you put all the hope, hype, clamour and cryptic bullshit to one side and took a professional view you’d take the stance that the deal is off, ie the “official” take on it. The consortium withdrew so any discussions are invalid (and probably legally confidential) If I was a formal representative of the fans I wouldn’t be spouting “cans-corrupt-patience” etc. at the risk of looking like clownshoes. I’d report and interact on what I did know and what was real. ie PPV, refunds. Sounds like that’s exactly what NUST are doing.

Clearly a man of taste. Bet he gets it from Di Meo's down Whitley. Probably explains his motivation for the takeover. The guy who knocked off the Seaton Delaval Ice Cream place? I wouldn’t even give him the satisfaction of going there. By the way, it’s not the same. For what it is worth, AS is very much still involved and at the forefront of the takeover. Was it not deleval ices disgruntled ex-wife that did her own thing? Deleval takes some beating like.

Pretty obvious that no one knows anything about what’s going on. Mimms “patient” post for me feels like a straw-grasp. He had some itk re the fans legal push without doubt. Think it’s safe to say it’s over for now. Until it isn’t.

What’s another 13 years anyway

The pork is mightier than the sword is factually correct. The deal is “officially” off the table. Whether there is a new deal is still to be confirmed but as it stands interest has been withdrawn and the only action ongoing involves compensation claims due to the deal collapsing for alleged legal breaches. The rest is blind optimism and interpretation of bread based photographs, of which I’ve fully bought into.

IMO no worse than our “Howay 5-0” and associated merch bollocks after beating ManU that is still celebrated to this day

I thought Penn came back as Grimsby 93?

I read that in the style of an Egyptian tomb robber. Very satisfying.

It’s a shite letter though

It’s all about the hope. The deal is “officially” still off and has been for months now.

To do what?
