Wilson Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 For f***s sake, somebody start a rumour at least! this. Few quiet days (which everyone knew was coming) and the razor blades are coming out. I'm sticking with the idea that fatty won't want to fuck this up, NUFC will never be worth more than it is now while he's here. He wants out. It's happening. I hope.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 No news is good news at this stage, it means it is progressing behind the scenes. If they pull out due to uncovering something, we’ll hear about that - if we hear nothing, it means due dilligence is progressing and we’re getting closer.

Sir Toon Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 We dont even know for certain that due diligence is in progress and even then, if it is, we haven't got a starting point to know when the end date could be. So until the denials or news of any potential deal collapsing comes then we're going to get a frustration point eventually. There's something like 9 and a half weeks until the window opens which is a big thing in itself as in Plan A (The Ashley led doing just enough to get 17th or above plan) or Plan B (Any takeover funds trying to get the best placing possible). The frustration will come from January passing and the club still being in Ashley's hands. If it is then there will be no sale in my opinion. That makes a 13 week window for me to get this done. One point of interest though is the disappearance of many of the usual Toon journos. Have they all signed NDA's? They're usually full of something or other. Been quiet for a while.

Wilson Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Think It's pretty certain due diligence is started tbh. As for local journos, they've pretty much exhausted everything they know, hence doing articles on Staveleys 2014 interview, speaking to other people in the financial world to see what the club could be valued at etc. I'm happy to sit tight and assume all is going well, if it wasn't going well, we'd hear something.

I think we can say with reasonable certainty PCP are, it's been in the news for the last few weeks and if it wasn't the case they'd have denied it by now. As the Turkish biscuit man did. The other supposed 4, well, there's no evidence that they even exist tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 People don't get the NDA part do they? We're now in to that phase as to where the NDA is important and this is why we are hearing nothing, not a whimper as it's possible any leak of any information could be seen as breaking that agreement. It's good its gone quiet, it means it's progressing, if suddenly we start hearing shite again then it's over and we have an issue if there isn't a concrete bid.

Sir Toon Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Obviously im wanting rid of Ashley but the negativity that he has created from his tenure makes it almost impossible to comprehend the thought of him ever leaving so a lot of my thoughts are kind of a double bluff to tempt fate but putting on my logic head, I too reckon there's only one real party of interest. Just dont know how long they've been sniffing and for all we know, they could have set Ashley a deadline themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this refers to me then history is one area where anything to do with Ashley should be treat with the greatest trepidation. The list is long to start with before you refer to him being a multi liar in court. Just hope this does come off because id hate to be one of those that have all their eggs in this basket.

Only the parties involved in the discussion get the NDA. No chance Lee Ryders got one . He'd still be sat with Charnley, staring blankly out of the window, trying to work out the date.

Sir Toon Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Again, whilst NDA's are legal things that are intended to stop things leaking out, we dont even know the length of these or the terms they have been agreed under. We could never hear another word on this if talks break down and be twiddling thumbs in 10 years time still waiting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 We would hear if talks broke down. The nda doesn't mean no one can speak about the takeover, it means the party who's signed it can't talk about their findings throughout the due diligence period. At least that's my vague understanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
