Whitley mag

Liam Kennedy sums it up perfectly here.

The state of that letter

 

I suspect those two fans are members on here, eh Whitley Mag

Nah if it was me it would have a few expletives in it, and be even more of a ramble I’m afraid. Sorry to disappoint you, but I will keep championing these lads whether posters like it or not.

Cool your jets fella, it’s all opinions. No need to get so mad about it all.

I’m perfectly cool but despair when 2 lads who are putting their own time and money into this are being criticised.

There action is perfectly summed up by this tweet, they don’t need to be polished and word perfect for the purpose of what they are trying to achieve.

It’s 2 fans for fucks sake, there not a professional organisation. So what if the letter is passionate and a bit of a ramble in places. There’s some excellent and relevant points in the letter, yeah it could have been more concise but who gives a fuck.

I’d like to seem some on here criticising compose a letter, to be pulling them apart for certain phrases and wording sums up a few smug arseholes on here.

It would be nice if NCSL got a lawyer, or someone less deluded than Wraith, to write their letter to Boris. Heres some snippets:

 

"unless you have been there and shared the uniqueness of the place and its people with their unrivalled characters then it may be difficult for you to understand the fighting spirit that Geordies possess"

 

"myself and a fellow director received a solicitor's letter from the most unscrupulous and distasteful organization known as the Premier League"

 

"the two fans they saw as weak and easy picking will now unleash the support of a whole fanbase of 100,000+ disillusioned and angry football supporters"

 

"we believe as homeowners and voters we are allowed to nominate our destiny"

 

And Boris will laugh at this one - "when a wealthy, arrogant bully tells you not to do something, then in my book you do it twice as much, and twice as hard"

 

It's f***ing waffle. Fair play to anyone naive enough to think this has a chance of succeeding. But if NCSL have paid for "top lawyers" why are they still sending out badly written, cliched tripe?

More unsubstantiated nonsense from you Sean, you claim Wraith wrote this on their behalf.

Where’s your proof of this, also are you still claiming they lied in regard to self funding ?

Easy to criticise while you sit on your arse.

Not ideal given that the FA are free to appoint the third member of the arbitration panel arent they? No wonder they've been hesitant to take it to arbitration if thats the case.

Yeah I would imagine this is a major sticking point and smacks of further corruption due to old boys network.

This part of the NCSL letter yesterday is quite interesting in regards to this gentleman Peter McCormick. They allege that in his role as lawyer he played a key role in PIF bid being blocked. I’ve never previously heard his name mentioned, but what makes this very interesting is that he’s now interim head of the FA.

After reading the whole of NCSL’s letter what is clear is that they are not confident in this review of football governance, and it would appear the cross over of power between the PL and FA is very blurred.

The main issue in regards to arbitration though would be that if both parties can’t agree on the 3rd member of panel, it goes to the FA to choose the member. Now surely if MCCormick has played such a key role in blocking the takeover this can’t be right, and would certainly make it evident why NCSL are being used by buyer and seller to try and get this into public domain.

Obscene that a geopolitical situation between Qatar and Saudi can have a bearing on our takeover.

 

Shows the undue influence Qatar has over the PL. That’s barefaced corruption and really needs eradicating. I’m surprised there’s not more of an outcry and questions over why Qatar has this influence.

I think Qatar and Bein’s influence will be highlighted in legal action, the long letter sent by NCSL to Boris yesterday references their interference as well.

Let’s finish the year on a positive note, PIF are ready and waiting to complete the deal.

Here’s hoping for 2021 !!

Hats off to these lads, they are really going for it.

 

 

Really going for it would perhaps be issuing the legal proceedings in the Competition Appeals Tribunal - which they said they would - not write a load of letters.

 

It's a load of illogical, disorganised emotive crap, pulling fans along for a ride with no logical destination.

Atleast they're trying something? Better then doing nothing, or bitching about them online.

 

As far as I can see from their Twitter account they've spent more time slagging off other Newcastle fans than trying to achieve anything meaningful.

 

It's all a scam - strings being pulled primarily by Steve Wraith.

 

Nothing to do with Steve Wraith and what are you doing to assist the takeover ?

 

I haven’t seen anywhere where they’ve slagged off other fans, they’ve merely pointed out that t***s like you are happy to criticise but done f*** all yourself.

 

As for it being a scam, these blokes have used their own hard earned cash you f***ing cretin.

 

Fans like you fella deserve another 13 years of Ashley.

 

All new members trying to convince others the Takeover is dead.  Hmmm very suspicious.  I wont change my view until Nick De Marco says what the outcome is

I can usually smirk at most stuff on here, but when people are lying and making up shit about 2 genuine lads it’s a bit fucking much.

Theres no evidence they have "used their own cash".

 

Calling someone a cretin because they aren't gullible enough to be taken in by this s**** is par for the course on here.

They have said they’ve used their own cash, are you saying there lying ?

More evidence that NCSL are working with Ashley to push takeover through -

The group have sent a host of questions to Mr Johnson that they would like answers to or have given him either the option of a Zoom meeting or face to face meeting after lockdown.

Significantly, their quest for answers appears to have the backing of Mike Ashley and NCSL say that they can "facilitate" a meeting between the Sports Direct magnate's legal team in order to get to the heart of the issue.

Mr Patterson states in his letter: "We have the support to host a meeting with the intent of demonstrating the anti-competitive behaviour and the deliberate procrastination in resolving this dispute, along with the refusal to accept information at the EPL in a deliberate attempt to run the clock down.

"I am happy to facilitate a meeting between Nick de Marco, Shaheed Fatima both QC’s from Blackstone Chambers alongside competition support from Robert O’Donoghue and Daniel Jowell both QCs from Brickcourt Chambers."

After that the plan would be to organise a fan-driven movement - which NCSL insist will comply with Covid restrictions.

The letter to Mr Johnson reads: "I’m told the fans will campaign at every opportunity, in a Covid compliant manner, but are looking to repeat the Jarrow March of 1936 - the last time the people of the north felt sufficiently wronged by Government, they undertook a collective action with their feet."

The nine questions sent to Mr Johnson include questions on the why the prospect of post-Brexit trade has potentially been blocked in the North-East, how long the takeover process will drag on for and why the matter is now very much in the public interest.

The Premier League have been approached by the Chronicle for comment on the fans' legal challenge but have maintained a "no comment status" on previous reports throughout Newcastle's takeover story in 2020.

Top-flight chiefs again did not comment on the latest move from Newcastle fans in their takeover dispute.

Relentless these lads !!

Couldn’t agree more with this, for the people who don’t believe there’s a chance just get on with your life. We don’t need your negativity, and if you truly believe it’s game over practice what you preach and forget about it.

For the rest of the believers Happy New Year and hopefully 2021 is the year Ashley fucks off.

Some of this reminds me of Trump fans still desperately clinging on to the idea that some machivelli is working behind the scenes and is just about to pull out some magic legal trump card that makes everything they want to be true come to pass.

 

We’ve got 2 of the best QC’s in their speciality fields working on this takeover, and by all accounts a huge legal team behind them working on this, so yes there are people working behind the scenes to make this happen.

 

In addition numerous journalist including Kennedy, Caulkin, Burt Douglass and the guy from the Observer who’s name escapes me, all confirming the aim is to get the takeover pushed through and PIF are just waiting for the wheels to be greased to enable this.

 

On top of this you have massive hints from Staveley’s husband, Jamie Reuben and the NCSL that everyone is aiming to get this done. Remember the takeover 2.0 as Caulkin named it after political pressure, confirmed that PIF money was actually in a bank account in this country to complete the deal.

 

I’ve learned on this site you can’t change people’s minds by presenting glaring information, those who claimed the takeover was dead soon backtracked, now certain people are claiming this is all about compen for Ashley.

 

In short believe what you want, but this is 100% in play with a view to getting the takeover completed.

 

Thats quite a significant step isnt it?

 

If it can be that close and still blown out of the water then it doesn't bode well for pretending any minor steps that seem to be going in the right direction at the moment is some unstoppable snowball which will end in a takeover, if anything people hearing that will probably give up on it ever happening at all.

Some would say in the world of football law De Marco is an unstoppable force.

Wouldn’t let Sean anywhere near the team, he needs to earn a place back big time , his brother has it now , in training he needs to be incredible and then perform like it in the chance he will eventually be given, maybe Arsenal? Fail and he stays out the team, simple .

 

Matty needs to keep to this standard now , glad for the lad.

So who do you play against Leicester, i wouldn’t say Shelvey or Hendrick have earned another shot either ? Playing alongside his brother might just raise his game, I’d rather take that chance than the other 2 options available.

Caulkin confirmed this in Athletic article, they thought takeover approval was days away.

He looks like he's ready to seize his chance. He played with a lot of assurance and distributed the ball well. In a midfield that struggles to retain possession, he stood out. I was particularly impressed to see the number of passes he delivered without even needing a first touch.

 

I just hope that his emergence will also encourage his brother, whose confidence looks more brittle.

Spot on he keeps it simple, I’ve been thinking for weeks that what we’re missing is a Paul Bracewell type player just to break things up, keep possession and start attacks.

Though Sean hasn’t been good this season, under no circumstances should Shelvey be brought back against Leicester. I would start Sean against Leicester and hopefully they can dovetail well, with Sean able to get around the opposition box where he can be dangerous with that shot.

It’s amazing how many of you lot have given up and are now off the train. It’s gone quiet because things are at the legal stage and it’s the holidays.

Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but you lot blow with the wind. Just wait till first week in January, there’ll be new info coming out for sure re the arbitration hearing.

Also if you believe PIF have walked and it’s just about Ashley’s compo, then I think your greatly mistaken.

Let’s hope we get the ultimate good news we’re all desperate for in the new year Jinky.

Enough of the negativity in the other thread, if this results in Bein being reinstated it’s a massive boost to the takeover.
