Couple of interesting posts by Bein Jacobs.

whenever i hear that phrase, i always think of blackburn away and, years later, Partizan home. There can be no bigger what if than the Cantona 1 nil game. Even if we drew that night, in hindsight I think we’d have won it. It was like a cup final atmosphere that night, never heard the place bouncing like that half an hour before kick off. Perhaps us fans were just as guilty of thinking we needed to win that night.

The dots are joining..... Why are the dots joining? That presumes the PL blocked the takeover for piracy when most people think it was because they weren't prepared to submit various people involved in PIF including the only one that matters to the OD test. The top 6 have hidden behind piracy as excuse to block this takeover, however we know they simply don’t want their gravy train gate crashed. Once Qatar drop their claims against Saudi for piracy, the PL will have no reason and very little to fall back on in regards to that as a reason. The shadow director issue is simply a delaying tactic by the PL to derail the deal, and once Bein is restored in Saudi another obstruction will be gone. The so called big 6 will then have nothing to fall back on to block this takeover, De Marco and Shaheed Fatima will detangle PIF/Govt link, and this will be settled either before or during arbitration. All my opinion, but that’s how it will play out.

What are you on? Have you just woke up from a 6 months coma, The Takeover, the big 6 project......Aye the Pl are Snow White. If PIF etc haven't provided what they need, then make a decision and say rejected because of x, y and z. Don't f***ing hide behind 'no decision has been made'. But how do you know the decision process is even structured like that? It could be a case of 'until you provide us with proof of X, Y and Z we can't approve the takeover'. 'We'll approve it when you provide this and that'. Therefore its not a formal rejection, its a case of the PL being willing if certain requirements are met, which as of yet haven't. Even if the approval process was on a Accept/Reject spectrum, rejecting it could terminate any legal/administrative progress that has been made up to that point. They bidders would essentially have to start the entire process at all. I can't see a logical reason as to why the PL wouldnt be in favour of a takeover if it met certain requirements. It goes completely again their interests. Are you on the wind up ? If you can’t see a logical reason I f***ing despair. Well howay then oracle. Explain to me why it makes any sort of business sense for the PL to block more income and growth in the league and why they haven't done it before? An answer that consists of more than 'muh corruption' or pasting the f***ing tweets of known lunatic Burnsie into the thread if possible.. What is your definition of the PL ? You do realise it consists of 20 stakeholders of which 6 are clearly calling the shots. Masters and Hoffman have been hand picked by clubs within top 6 to carry out their agenda, once they cease to do this they will be gone. You don’t seem to accept there’s corruption despite the revelations of the past couple of weeks ? Why would the top 6 want to allow another club to threaten their income , it’s akin to turkeys voting for xmas. Also who do you believe within the PL wants the income or growth from this takeover Masters, Fenway, Levy ? I’ll tell you who no one. I actually think a twitter lunatic might have a better grasp on this than yourself to be honest. Don’t try and re write history, you’re knowledge of this takeover could be written on the back of a postage stamp. That was your response? You genuinely think that the takeover hasnt gone through because 'the top 6' have hand picked the CEO of PL to carry out their agenda. You're sitting there saying, the PL chief exec, would be against further income and growth within the league. Thats the basis of them rejecting the takeover. You're a moron. I could drag up any number of articles to support my argument, however your naivety is staggering I think you’d struggle to understand them. I think you must have had you’re head up your arse when project big picture broke, or the mountain of evidence to show top clubs lobbied against takeover was in the press. Why do you think an anti competition QC has been taken on. You’re a clown.

Of course he didn’t hire them to seek compensation and Keith has p*ssed 50 grand up the wall to help a billionaire. But it’s lads like us who are deluded it’s comical. These are the same characters who said the takeover was dead a few months back, they think that’s been forgotten so they’re crawling back out the wood work like mackems after a cup final ticket.

I hate to bring this up mate, but when you’re talking about logic I really can’t take you seriously. Well thought out and reason based response as per usual. Just keep on screaming "ITS HAPPENING" at anyone who goes against your foolishly blind optimism. I'm sure that'll work. You’re credibility is zilch based on that post mate. You just keep believing the PL want this takeover, after all why wouldn’t they.

I hate to bring this up mate, but when you’re talking about logic I really can’t take you seriously.

Her rage at wasting MP time during a pandemic is a bit rich aswell, she openly admits she sent a letter the 1st time round. I’m quite sure they have enough spare time to deal with multiple issues, and likewise govt ministers.

He’s followed this club for years home and away all over Europe.

HWTFL, this is happening and soon in my opinion. Yes, many of the "dots are being more quickly joined up" (as you said earlier, Whitley mag) and they are joining up more and more quickly. In all honestly, there's not long to go now, in my opinion!! Magnificent Bruce-esque level sound bites and straw-grasping here: soon. the smell of takeover. In my opinion. Dots joined up! What’s the “official” status of this takeover again? That’s a bit low you can call me anything but Bruce-esque.

I could never claim to be as ‘logical’ as manorpark unfortunately.

This, she’s coming across very poorly and attention seeking, the only lass i want to see sinking cans on the telly is Mandy when this is done. So when this whole takeover started in Feb 20, she and her (boyfriend?) did these post, trying to enlighten the NUFC fans about the legal side of the takeover and challenges. They then appeared on Wraith show. After that I lost interest for a while and then when I looked back on twitter, her boyfriend was no longer around, she was having arguments with wraith and is now having arguments with NCSL. So its up to her what she does but like all things twitter, its a mess and I don't really care. Mate I don’t care either, if people want to snipe at a bloke who is working night and day to help get this done, then more fool them. Keith is working with both buyer and seller, and none of us know what the tactics at play truly are. However, he will have done far more to assist this takeover than this lawyer or Rob character, who come across as attention seeking cunts.

Deal could survive relegation.

The dots are joining.....

Fully agree, Keith is a force of nature, where very lucky he has added this new dimension to the attack. Some very thick people on twitter and on here (Sean), who just can’t seem to grasp what is actually happening here. He is fully in the loop with buyer and seller, and is playing his role as an annoying fly very well. Bird & Bird do not threaten him on 3 occasions, unless the PL are rattled. He also confirmed he has spoken to Robert O’Donoghue QC 4 times this week, and the conversations went ‘very well thanks’. Some people will just disagree with anything, but anyone who is not up their own arse and has an ounce of common sense, realises what is going on here. HWTFL, this is happening and soon in my opinion.

I’ve not paid much attention to it all but he certainly feels he’s being trolled. There seems to be a handful of persistent people, who feel he should be answerable to them. You either love him or hate him, but he’s old skool and simply doesn’t give a fuck. However, to judge him on his twitter exchanges would be a mistake, a successful businessman with experience in competition law. Also clearly in the loop with buyer and seller, and putting his own time and money in.

The only way it’s not the end game, if Ashley takes this to the high court in event we lose arbitration. We won’t lose though and Bruce will be history soon.

Been there before with this. Then we find out they've been led on and in reality nothing has happened and the PL just keep kicking the can down the road. He suggested arbitration proceedings are now underway. Now that maybe not the hearing itself, but who’s to say De Marco doesn’t broker this before in preliminary’s if our case is strong. The general vibe I’m getting is things are looking good. It might end up in a final blow to the gut, but I don’t think so, we’re in the end game. It needs to be done before the window shuts or they are buying a Championship club. Talk of Spring suggests we're still in the same position we were before the season started. He insinuated they’ll be looking at everything points gap, fixtures etc. Don’t forget they can still change the manager if window shuts, on paper our squad is capable of staying up.

You can laugh but let’s not forget, you’re the guy who believes the PL has no reason to not want this takeover. I think you were branded naive, so laugh away, we’ll see who’s laughing soon.

He thinks it will be done by spring. A couple of sources he knows in London indicate PL are not confident/losing will to fight it, and basically being forced by big 6 to fight it.

Keith was certainly bullish about our legal case again. I’m sensing a lot of confidence this goes in our favour and soon.

What was said? It’s happening believe.
