Surely then this is yet more evidence for the CAT case. I’m no lawyer but from a layman’s perspective it seems pretty frigging obvious that debt laden hedge fund takeovers that won’t challenge the top 6 are fine but ones that threaten the status quo are to be challenged.

General question in relation to the takeover process. If the people are of the opinion that the premier league won’t allow THIS takeover, what sort of takeover do you think they are happy to sanction?

Reading between the lines, if CAT goes ahead publicly, the Prem may settle to avoid the levels of scrutiny they’ll get. It seems that we’ve found their Achilles heel here - transparency.

Jesus? is that true? Looks like he couldn’t fight sleep?

I’m not so sure. I remember Ashley calling her just that last year before changing his mind and that Barclays court case that she was ultra confident of soon turned to rats it didn’t it? Don’t get me wrong I’m not doing the woman down just from the outside looking in she’s got more big L’s than W’s.

One of those that definitely shouldn’t have left the toon. Wasn’t suited to being a small fish in a large pond. Put him in the same bracket as Demba Ba and Cabaye.

Hanging about with those other 3 dildos on that podcast hasn’t done him any favours. All sat there piping each other off and congratulating one another at drawing maximum attention to themselves whilst pretending they are front and centre of the entire takeover process. They make me itch. That dentist is the worst. Fat get.

Kind of an open secret that he was high up on the consortiums wish list. Very very easy win for them to get him back, give him some money for players and watch us wank ourselves into a nostalgia frenzy. In a way it’s more interesting to see where they go next, it’ll give us a nice indication of their true ambitions for the club. Will they go for broke and try and attract a big name or will they give a young ambitious manager like Howe a chance.

He’s a joke a man now. Got silly with the attention and made himself look a royal cunt. I call it the “Steve wraith effect”.

And probably much too late to do anything in relation to the squad personnel. In short, no matter who the owner is now - what we have now is what we’ll be forced to start and persevere with.

He’s took 7. ya know, Andy Carroll’s number. The same Andy Carroll that we haven’t even announced has left the club yet?

Looks like they’ve given him the no9. Good move, Joelinton was doing naff all with it.

Agree with this. They’ve got to follow it to its conclusion now, that way they can go back to the clubs and broadcasters who they are clearly beholden to and wash their hands of it. I do hope Ashley totally takes them to the cleaners though.

To be fair to her, the government documents released seem to vindicate her. The prime minister was told a deal to conclude the sale was imminent ffs so she had every right to be confident. What nobody could count on was just how much influence BeIn and certain members of the top 6 had over Masters and Hoffman.

Tbf the premier league should count themselves lucky they aren’t receiving parcels of the flaming excrement variety for the way they’ve treated us.

At least they are trying to draw attention to what the league is doing. It’s just wrong that they’ve tried to delay making a definite decision for the last 16 months.

Fair play to her she seems v bullish about this going through. Agree with others about the Premier League boxing themselves in. What they are doing here is absolutely unbelievable. Not only are they totally going against their own mission statement by not allowing the club to level up via outside investment but they are also denying the area itself from much needed regeneration. And for what? The benefit of six of the traditional big clubs? Those same clubs who have made not one but two power grabs in the last 12 months alone. This just isn’t right. Masters and Hoffman have only succeeded in making themselves look unbelievably weak and stupid with this whole saga. The best thing they could do is quietly wave it through because it’s clear this is something we won’t let lie.

I think, ultimately, if the government does jump in - it’ll be the potential investment in the area that lights a fire under their arses. That really being hammered home in AS’s last two interviews. What MP doesn’t want a City style windfall in their area that creates homes, jobs and infrastructure?

Honestly, when you boil it all down this is what they’ve done. A fuckin carbon monoxide leak wouldn’t be good enough for those two slugs.

Me neither. The longer this goes on the longer they seem to be trying to stall indefinitely or actually gear up to defend their position to a seemingly stacked arbitration committee.

Can’t wait for the PL to stall on that one and blame the would be owners of Newcastle for the creation of corona virus.

My god do I hate that cunt.

He contradicts himself so much, almost like he’s making it up. As for the wraith show, that braggart of a dentist and his mate who’s a poundshop Peter Stringfellow are just the worst. They’ve managed to shoehorn themselves into a position where people think they’ve got the inside scoop, that all stemmed from the Dentist getting conned into believing the last Sheikh was legit, telling everyone they were the real deal. He doesn’t like being reminded of that.

Have to agree with all of that.

Benzema. The bastards bastard being a brilliant sort of bastard really makes me itch.
