Dave Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Yeah it caught my eye that bit. We've quietly accumulated a number of fans groups in recent years, wonder if she'd be looking to engage with any of them if this bid is a goer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 No idea. Would have thought a starting point could be the groups that are already on the fans forum committee if it was to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

number9shirt Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Very interesting indeed. The article mentions Sheikh Al Maktoum & Dubai Investment Capital (DIC) also while trying to arrange a deal for Liverpool "Staveley did meet Hicks in 2007 at a pheasant shoot in Yorkshire". What were those royal jets supposedly here for! The concern we all have is that the deal will fall apart because of mike's attitude, words like brash & obstructive (Ashley's M.O.) are used in regards to Hicks & Gillett which is why the bid fell apart, word then got round the very close middle East circles that any business was impossible.

The approaching the fans group element of a takeover I guess fits with her being sat with Wraith at the match. Not everyone was impressed. An Echo reporter is quoted – anonymously. “She identified early on the need to get the local paper on board early on and pulled it off brilliantly. But to be honest, none of us fell for the line she or Al Maktoum genuinely had the club’s interests at heart. Staveley was very impressive but she reeked of money. Like the Yanks, that was her only reason for being in Liverpool.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Okay, so what would turn Newcastle fans off of Staveley (and Al Maktoum)? Nothing really unless they were into the slave trade or something, ive had enough of Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelphish Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 There was a poster on RTG who claimed to be a friend with somebody who is a friend of Ashley. Apparently Ashley let slip to this friend, while on a helicopter ride, that a deal has already been done. But yes, bored bored bored. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Okay, so what would turn Newcastle fans off of Staveley (and Al Maktoum)? He owns a place in Blanchland, my favorite place, so nowt for me, I would also like to see Ashley as the owner of SAFC I think its a good fit.
