IMTTS

It’s an incredibly mild-mannered opinion of a potential transfer’s likelihood. Really not worth getting upset by

None of us have seen ASM under a non-Bruce manager though, so he "loves" it under Bruce relative to what, exactly? And why the fuck would he worry about being dropped? All he's ever done for us is be a good, productive footballer. Oh but he took an 80 minute flight to France a couple of times. Fucking weirdos. He's an excellent footballer and could be stream-lined into a near-world class one under a good manager. You're a creep if you think there's an "issue" with him.

Like some sort of official statement from them, perhaps?

Genuine question: what would it take for you to believe that PIF are no longer at the table?

This is incorrect. “craic” is a faux-Gaelicised word invented in the 1950s as part of an advertising campaign in Ireland; “crack” as used in the North East pre-dates it by a century or more. Please acknowledge your mistake and perhaps delete the post. Thanks.

No. "why?" Because the idea of a litigant pressuring judges through the press to decide in their favour is absolutely insane and wouldn't be put forward by a single solicitor in the country, let alone a QC. Genuinely mad stuff.

Jonathan Liew is one of the few people in Britain with more contempt for football fans than 'big six' owners - a repulsive little slug. And fans effectively veto-ing the biggest game in English football, and destroying multiple big money broadcasts across the globe along with it, is a funny example of 'fan powerlessness'. If English football fans continue to recognise that they actually have veto power over games then it's a complete game changer.

The takeover collapsed nine months ago when the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia formally withdrew their bid to acquire the club. No developments since then - will keep you in the loop if anything changes

Not one to toot my own horn but I did call the sham nature of PCP a while back: PCP doesn't actually exist as a business. It's part of the lie that is her public persona.

https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/PCP-v-Barclays-Summary.pdf Interesting that the judge largely confirms the truth of Staveley's allegations re the conduct of Barclays, but denies any compensation whatsoever on the grounds that PCP is basically a non-existent enterprise that had no real-world ability to raise any finance.

The point is more that the PIF ultimately operates under the absolute control of MBS. So yes day-to-day operations are managed by his appointments, but ultimately if he wants to commandeer PIF-owned planes to facilitate the murder of a journalist then there's f*** all anyone can do about it. So no one can ever push the "fully independent" line with a straight face. When are you going to post on other threads which involve matches, Bruce. Ashley etc. Oh wait you won’t because you’re not a Newcastle fan You've rumbled me - I've been running a decade-long deep cover operation pretending to be a Newcastle fan so I can attempt to undermine a future Saudi-takeover attempt. More gems from the N-O brains trust.

"fully independent"; "irrelevant"; "nothing the PL can do to stop this" etc etc

Stifler's post clearly ate away at Neesy throughout the night. He couldn't just leave it at one attempt at a pithy reply - he came back 8 hours later demanding answers. Tough to watch.

Why do you ignore questions? Why do you care about what posters on here feel may or may not happen with this takeover? You don’t post in any other thread so what’s so special about this to make you care so much? What else is there to discuss about NUFC? Hendricks' pass completion rate? Bruce's bodyfat %? It's a zombie club - this is the only subject of any interest and, in my opinion, the position held by the majority of fans on it is incorrect, so I'm posting what I believe to be the case. In your opinion, do you think PIF will be back in if Ashley wins his case on the basis that the PL incorrectly didn't allow them to pass the test? No idea.

I really don't think the four posts I've made in this thread in 2021 are deserving of this level of anger. They've all been pretty level-headed - no insults (towards members that is - Wraith and Patterson copped some), no venom, just my honest assessment of the takeover as it currently stands. The rage and calls for bans all seem a bit RAWK-ish, no? The ignore function exists - use it and save yourself the stress!

For months now Ando has been getting people excited with talk of things being just round the corner. If fuck all happens in January, will his inevitable February one-liners still promote optimism?

>>>>>IGNORE THE BELOW POST IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ A NON-OPTIMISTIC APPRAISAL OF THE TAKEOVER OF NUFC<<<<< Neither of those things are illegal (obviously). Here's what has actually happened, and what will come to light when this sorry saga finally peters out for good: this Keith Patterson bloke and his pal have spunked some money up the wall to pay for a letter from a very expensive QC. The letter had no impact on anything because its argument (that the Premier League not approving a takeover of a club by the biggest pirates of Premier League IP was a violation of competition law) was nonsense. That's where Robert O'Donoghue's involvement began and ended - he knew it was nonsense but someone paid his fees so he had little choice but to put together a nonsense argument (note that the talk of 'letters before action' and legal action being imminent disappeared into the ether...). The idea that Patterson is part of a co-ordinated legal attack concocted by some mixture of Ashley, Staveley, the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia and the Reuben brothers is genuinely insane. Recruiting local gobshites to pen appallingly-written letters to MPs is not how billionaires pursue legal strategies. Patterson, like Wraith, is a know-nothing gobshite using the desperation of fans to raise his profile for reasons we can only speculate on. The Saudi takeover of NUFC no longer exists as a going concern. Ashley is pursuing damages on the grounds of restraint of trade. No-one should give a shit whether he gets what he wants on that front.

Not quite. The full letter was published in April: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/bein-sports-chiefs-full-email-21906714 That version from April is now identical to the version Kennedy has published today (now that he's been rumbled and removed the line he/whoever is stringing him along added).

Oh dear, Kennedy rumbled as having doctored the letter.

What is this? Are you from Newcastle? Very RTG-esque behaviour.

I thought I'd give this place a wide berth for a while because people seemed to be getting genuinely, real-life upset, and it was never my intention to cause such distress and hurt. But I haven't posted on here in two weeks and people are still crying about me - that's not healthy guys. That Swedish lad can ban me again now but for the record: - anyone who ever thought I was actually Luke Edwards is deeply, deeply unwell. - no-one ever leaked anything from Mimms to me (if an admin can see PMs they'll be able to verify). Mimms got upset because he realised that someone else had access to his 'source' and he got suitably embarrassed (his source being a notorious ITK gobshite from the Football365 forum, who posts all of Mimms' info a couple of hours before Mimms appears in here). Goodbye and god bless. I love you all.

If we wants info from him we need to ban IMTTS. He will come back with new user name he should be banned whenever members found him out. Here man you loons, no one has "leaked" any information to me It just occurred to me that Mimms' source was one I also had access to (and if I elaborate on what that source is in here the usual suspects will end up getting upset and calling for bans again so I'll leave it). Genuinely, if you catch the vapours reading my posts just pop me on ignore and save everyone else the hysterics.

I don't usually respond to the harrowing personal abuse I suffer on here for daring to post the occasional contrary view, but I have to draw the line at any suggestion I support Bruce. Feel free to share with the forum!
