Listened to parts 2 and 3 not interested in reliving the Ashley era, just basically regurgitating what we already know with some dramatic music in the background. The only real opinion on where we’re currently at comes from Chris Waugh in part 2. He can’t see how it gets approved, but consortium still believe a compromise can be found and talks still in background.

For the doom mongers on here, they’re still working on case. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-takeover-blackstone-chambers-18960490

We are not doing any arbitration the matter is with the court. This guy came u with another wrong information. Is that based on any inside knowledge or just an assumption? The guy that tweeted seems to be an arbitration lawyer, so might be better placed to make assumptions about the process. There has been nothing so far to confirm this is going to court, these QC’s will regularly settle disputes before court proceedings are needed. Which in our case is exactly what will happen, I’m fully expecting a positive conclusion to this in next couple of months.

Mark Douglas posted a vid with a takeover update yesterday. The main points are this consortium aren’t going anywhere, which basically means nobody else is likely to entertain bidding for us at moment. The lawyers employed by Ashley also have a big track record of getting things done without the need of going to court. Certainly get the impression from watching this he thinks it’ll go through in some form eventually. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/how-newcastle-united-takeover-continuing-18941465

Facunda Pellistri is a name I’ve seen mentioned tonight.

Disagree with this. I’ve said months ago they oddly been ahead of the others with the takeover if nothing else. Liam Kennedy has been very on the ball through this, probably on half the money of Ryder and Edwards but seems to have some knowledge and sources.

Yeah but now they’ve drawn huge attention to the fact, and i’m sure this won’t go unnoticed by the 2 legal Rottweiler’s at their door.

If it's true that they are meant to redo the checks on every club every 12 months then this is how they tackle this potential problem. Approve the deal then in 12 months, if there seems to have been influence from MBS, then do something about it. Good point give them benefit of doubt, the level of investment at risk warrants it.

The fact all directors nominated have already passed o & d certainly clears up why they were confident of approval last week. They’re clearly a hairs breath away from approval, let’s hope this threat of legal action sees us home.

The PL are not a cash rich organisation either, the operation is actually quite small. This could get very tasty, especially in the current climate. One things for sure other clubs will be f***ing furious I believe the clubs can vote to fund the legal action. I doubt cash will be a problem for the PL. You sure with tv rebates owed due to covid, reduced income and wages at same level. I would doubt clubs will be willing to fund this legal fight at the moment.

Also turns out money mike was right again, it wasn’t the end.

There’s no guarantee the Saudis will bid again if we win, that’s the only issue. If assured of green light they’ll be back, this is coordinated by all parties.

In my opinion he’s parked his tank for no other reason than 340 million. He’s already banked 17 million from PL refusing to make decision, this is about getting sale through.

What’s Edwards had to say about Mike giving up, are we into double figures for the number of times he’s been wrong.

One things for sure other clubs will be f***ing furious If the PL has the financial support of those other clubs they'll be alright. £10million off each of them should see them alright. Aye can see them being happy with that, we’ll be fucking hated

Oh fucking yes get in there Mike lad take these bastards to the cleaners.

Steve Wraith inferred yesterday that it’s not one person, he knows who they are and they more than likely have a source or sources within club.

Looks like his account apparently been liking a few takeover tweets.

Yet he drivel’s on about Mauriss still being in talks. I honestly thought Lee Ryder was untouchable but this cunt has left him for dead.

Absolutely under a Corbyn government it would be dead in the water, take the North of Tyne Mayor as an example. He hasn’t even stirred himself despite the promise of millions worth of investment.

This, I’ve just been reading his twitter account never paid much attention before. It’s certainly very funny and does seem to call stuff.

Has money mike ever been as active as this, he seems to have gone into overdrive. The fact he’s winding up some of the worst local journalists is even better.

My take after this week nothing has changed, the political pressure and moves will continue behind the scenes. Ashley clearly frustrated by lack of movement and getting his money, but crucially no statement from PCP to say it’s over. I notice Staveley’s husband is still liking posts on twitter apparently re takeover, where in a long game and they’re not done yet. In the meantime as much as I hate club in its current guise and was happy to see it and PL rot, I have changed my mind, and believe a solid steady season will aid us get this through. Any flirtation with relegation will only sow seeds of doubt on Saudi side. With the likes of Philip Hammond and senior govt officials lobbying for this we have powerful allies, and the PL will certainly need govt support during coming season. The make up and level of support with this bid will wear the bastards down eventually.

The judge is a complete wind up merchant! I like him, better than all the “I’m right you’re wrong” crew. Stop being wrong then.
