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.

Suppose we’ll find out if the CAT case is streamed live and direct won’t we.

Genuinely baffled at why he’d want to take it after all this. He doesn’t deserve it, he doesn’t need it and the Everton lot should be rightly ashamed of themselves for that.

I’m guessing that it doesn’t really and because of this fact City don’t get any mither from it. Would be highly surprised if these exact points and examples weren’t raised though.

Don’t think it ever was meant to be that tbh. I think it was another stick to beat the premier league with publicly. CAT might be the longest of long shots, I think Ashley’s legal team are using the public nature of its process to scare the premier league shitless. The last thing they want is all of their dirty washing live streamed for all and sundry to see.

Holland have been absolutely awful here. So far away from the exciting team they used to be. Don't really know of any exciting prospects either coming through for em.

Very hit and miss. Hasn't exactly torn it up when he's playing consistently at the highest level. Couldn't hack it in the prem could he?

A little piece of me died inside when I realised that the very people asking burnsie and the 4 amigos for "the latest news" on a complicated legal process they know nothing about are the same people that get a say in who runs the country every 4/5 years or so.

There is no way you can know that for definite.

The amigos man. It hurts me eyes to see grown men attention seeking so much. That pork cyclinder of a dentist is the worst of the lot - utter braggard.

Which other forum is this?

Any legal eagles know anything about CAT proceedings? For example should the judge decide that there is a case to answer here could the premier league settle with NUFC to avoid a public, potentially embarrassing, hearing?

I think he was their first choice but just couldn’t turn down a project that’s right on his doorstep. Already sounds like Everton fans are giving him grief though - the fools. Don’t think this is any indicator of the takeover one way or the other.

Right club in many ways but the fans won’t forgive his success at Liverpool. I’m a bit gutted we couldn’t get this takeover over the line in time to offer him a chance to return. Never say never though - he may back one day.

I don’t think Rafa going to another club is in anyway an indicator of anything. As we’ve seen, it’s been close before only for the league to start playing silly beggars under pressure from BeIn et al. He’d be daft not speak to Everton - taking his history with Liverpool out of the equation it fits most of his widely known criteria for a “project”. I’d love for him to come back, I’m sure the consortium would too - it’s a very easy early win for them - but sometimes the timing is never quite right and he can’t be expected to hold out in perpetuity can he?

He comes across as someone who takes his reputation and the recognition of his abilities very seriously. He’s far too self aware for these shots and the excitement they generate in some sections of our support, to be doing it all accidentally. The cans and the dropped barrier are obvious nods to the takeover process. What’s important to remember though is that it’s very very one sided the noise that we are hearing, the premier league may be just as confident.

I’m doing my utmost to strap my boner down but there’s always the nagging noises of “why’s it not already happened yet?” in the back of my mind. If the jungle drums beat true then Ashley and the consortium believe the premier league has been backed into a corner - if this was true surely the league would have been advised of this by their legal team and would just rubber stamp it to avoid a messy and potentially embarrassing few weeks in court. I dunno. I really really want to believe this new positive noise but well, we’ve been here before haven’t we?
