Never.... Posted in that thread twice today so far. My previous three posts to those ones were actually in this very thread earlier in the week...... Carry on making stuff up though.

The only wind up merchants here are those telling you the takeover remains likely to be concluded. As you'll see in the coming weeks. I appreciate that's not going to be popular which is what leads to the personal abuse.

It's Monday tomorrow. Wonder if that's connected to the takeover.

That consortium account is hilarious.

No, they've walked away according to them.

Pretty obvious this is bad news on that front like. I dare not look on the positivity nonsense thread to see the mental gymnastics involved in trying to spin it as a positive piece of news.

Just the stuff that isn't indicative of the takeover moving closer really. Like this news for example.

As a group, too many of the squad that got us promoted are still here.

Pretty obvious that the new owners stuff relates to the new people operating the club shop. Funny that the press have to equate absolutely everything that happens to the "takeover" though. All about clicks.....

Because they couldn't / refused to satisfactorily answer the questions concerning the control and ownership. What do you base your assuredness of the club / Ashley winning the legal action on at this stage, other than more blind optimism obviously?

Mike is annoyed that they've cost him his sale, that it's gone. Finished. Hence the legal action. Absurd that people don't realise this still.

Just change the thread title from "Positive Optimism" to "Blind Optimism" and it'll be fully fit for purpose.

Is it not just £50,000 divided by 4,000 people?

You carry on believing in Santa Claus mate, even though there's nothing to indicate he exists.

There's no actual evidence of it though is there? Other than a few accounts on twitter with an interest in keeping the story running for various reasons.

That neither involve any buyer, because the buyer very publicly withdrew from the process. There's nothing to indicate that our dispute with the PL would see the return of the buyer. Nothing at all. And that's before you consider that the PL may have an acceptable argument. Too many people simply assuming the club will win the legal dispute.

Roughly half that judging by the tweet above this.

Daft isn't it?

Do you have a rough idea of how many people it is so far?

Not good enough. Three year deal.

"well, ye naow, ye can't be giving teams like Burnley a goal headstart at the level, this is the premier league. Ye naow Dychey's gonna have them defending for their lives. Second half thaow a thort tha were positives to take into next week"

Been for a walk with my dad this morning and he asked question which I said I would post on here. Before Ashley came in my dad had a couple of hundred quid's worth of shares in the club, but he reckons when Ashley took over he was able to buy them under some compulsory rule because he owned so much of it already. He also paid less than my dad paid for the shares when he did it? If new owners come in and decide they dont want to work with the trust will they be able to do the same with the Trust's 1% and buy them for cheaper than the Trust paid? Or is there an agreement that they can't do that?

Didn't say otherwise. Still it's an indication of interest that existed last time around. Maybe means the £3m isn't as impossible as some people think?

Got it from there https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastle-fans-pledge-50million-buy-3366385 And there https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/nust-work-ashley-aid-nufc-1409373.amp Did seem a lot for nothing to then happen with.

They had £50m in pledges within a matter of weeks last time they did something similar. Wonder if they've still got the details of those people as obviously they'd be able to clear the £3m pretty quickly.
