Hats off to this bloke he’s persistent if nowt else.

I think the more MP’s outside the region the better, can only spread more awareness. Does anyone live in that SNP cnuts John Nicholson’s constituency, I’d love to see his reply to that letter.

It’s definitely Mehrdad’s account.

Who gives a fuck most fans will be glad we’ve been shafted, however no one can tell me they wouldn’t be gutted if this had happened to their club. Luckily where a big enough club to fight our own battles, and for the first time in a number of years I’m proud of our support for uniting and fighting this.

Petition has topped 80k now.

Not before time the council got behind this, they’ll be one of the main benefactors if this takeover happens. I’m convinced the PL can be pressurised into accepting this, the last thing they’ll want is the bad press and scrutiny this is starting to bring on them. Get every fucker you know to sign this petition.

If PIF had offered a billion pound for spurs do we think the deal would have been waived through. That ultimately for me is the question here, because I think we all suspect it would. I agree nothing has changed fundamentally in the PL’s position at present, however all we can do is try and apply pressure. There might be a nice shock awaiting the PL shortly in the way of legal action by buyers or sellers, we just don’t know yet.

The bid was doomed from the start We’d have been better off being relegated as things stand.

Anyone doubting the influence of top 6 clubs on this process really need to read this article. In short we are not paranoid to believe other clubs notably the top 6, will have lobbied heavily in this process.

There’s a lot of Newcastle fans who want to talk to him at the minute. https://twitter.com/NewcastleFansTV/status/1290362848871436290

Yeah just listened would recommend everyone listens to this. Alex Hurst details conversation with Staveley and Michael Martin speaks well as usual.

Agreed. As with the some of the excellent protest work against Ashley & SD, I have a lot of time for anyone who takes a stand for something they feel strongly about.......absolutely zero time for the sneering w*****s who aren't prepared to get off their arses and fight for the club. Agree completely if we ever needed to unite now is that time.

Think I’m starting to believe this more, still doesn’t change the Premier Leagues non action at present, but it does open up avenues for potential legal action. I’m still convinced the next big news will be Ashley unleashing legal action.

Fuckin' love that toon! Great Tune ?

Aren't they massive Tories? They must have some pull. Yeah think Jamie is pals with Boris. Whilst I’m always cynical of rich people I think the Reubens are certainly friends of Newcastle, and it would be great if they were involved with club.

The best angle here is undoubtedly the loss of investment in the region, if the govt can be pressurised they may lean on PL to reconsider this. They have prided themselves on Britain being open for business and this is investment in one of the poorest areas of the country. This is so much more than a football takeover and warrants govt intervention due to geopolitical and economic impact.

Pressure being applied I like it.

This. If 60k had signed a petition to block the takeover the pressure from media on PL now would be massive. We need to keep up the pressure, we might not get anywhere but as Jimmy Nail sang. 'cause this is a mighty town, It's built upon solid ground And everything they tried so hard to kill, We will rebuild

Sensible post but one key flaw to your reasoning, they don’t have the confidence to stand by their determination, because if they did they would have rejected it.

This is what I’m clinging to they’re certainly not giving the impression they’ve completely walked away. The more I read about Masters, Bush and Hoffman the less faith I have in the process, and can see why they’ve maybe felt this was there only option. Another avenue I think NUST need to explore is how to create pressure on govt, they’ve received north east votes and this decision is stopping investment in the region. Certainly the petition is an avenue to do this, but it would be something maybe the trust could explore further. If we could get local MP’s on board this would be a start, also where the f*** is newcastle city council in all this, where led to believe Staveley discussed investment with them. How in the current climate they can stand by idly and say nothing beggars belief. Ultimately we have buyers and seller in agreement, we need to find a way to help facilitate this deal and get PL to sanction this sale. They believe doing nothing was the easiest route out of this, let’s make them realise this was a huge mistake and they have underestimated this club, city and fan base massively.

Yeah tremendous just think it needs some more traction in media now ie sky, bbc, talkshite etc.

I think you’ve more or less answered your own question, the unreasonable demand of wanting govt named as buyers, previous indications it would pass, outside influences and their refusal to make a decision.

Anyone received this e mail ?
