OpenC

appears to be a fair enough analogy like

Only applies to public institutions, or private ones carrying out public duties i thought? Premier League is not a public sector institution

Has the sports minister stopped following us on twitter??

League wouldn't be involved in the formal purchase procedure I guess. They need to give it their approval for Newcastle to play in the Premier League but there would be nowt stopping anybody from buying the club from Ashley anyway if for whatever reason they didn't give a shit about Premier League approval. I can't think of many scenarios where that would be the case, of course, but my guess is that nobody involved in the sale would have had to formally notify the Premier League that it was all off, other than out of courtesy so they could stop doing their tests.

I reckon Staveley 10% Reubens 10% PIF 74% REDBIRD CAPITAL 6%

I didn't even have any #cans in tbh

I'm not holding out any false hope, but for me what happened yesterday was very much option 1 and a strongly worded statement. It is the nuclear option, of course, and will conclude the process one way or another (and quite possibly already has).

Woke up to Boris sat at the end of his bed in the half light, smoking a tab and telling him to stop making the UK look weak

Disappointed but not entirely surprised that the national press don't seem to feel the PL have some explaining to do

Well put precisely this

Wew, what a fucking mess

I WANT TO BELIEVE

So, IF the above is true then Ashley must be raging at the PL for costing him £300m no? I can't believe that Ashley would sink a £300m sale by pissing about at the eleventh hour, like. Something in this for me, I reckon he'll be fucking furious how it's worked out.

Fucking hell, caulkin's reputation hasn't been dead six hours and somebody has stepped up?

All you need to know about their new signing is that they can cobble together four facts to have a pop at an erstwhile local rival and are not interested in telling you anything about him as a player He must be so proud to have signed for a classy club that's obviously got its priorities straight

Nah fuck that, roll the dice with this fake yank imo. If he's no money it'll go tits faster than under Ashley, if he's not totally useless we'll be in a better place. if PIF had never been a thing we would have given him a go I reckon

Aye, I bet her tweet is getting some love

How I wish we were languishing in the third tier signing folk who had just been released by Millwall

true enough

my take also

Uncanny

I don't think Ashley is that stupid, like. £300m now or a hypothetical extra £50m which might not get through and would fuck the original offer if it didn't? I know he has a reputation as a gambler but I don't think he's in a position to try that sort of thing.
