TRon Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I think if it was going to be called off, it would have been by now. Both parties seem pretty far down the line at this stage, just looks like we need to survive this season, then wait and see what the new owners actually bring to the table if and when it goes through.

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Odin loves a bit of 'I don't believe this for a second, there's no proof! Maybe it's [ wild suggestion with no proof ]' like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Id like to think that the pair are now clearer on each others position. A deal must be close IMO. Don't buy the conspiracy/negative guff for a second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Click bait... /Odin Very. Although this is the first piece of news which has any sort of proof whatsoever that this is happening. It's very positive news, all looks very relaxed. My take on this would be that maybe over the last few weeks the deal has been on the verge of collapse and the whole fist pumping on the way out means that everyone is now back at the table. Probably a lot of work to do before a deal ever takes place. But this could possibly indicate that PCP, or Staveley or whoever is behind the deal doesn't have nearly as much cash as we or Rafa would want to seriously make a massive impact. Maybe this group are going to be part investors alongside Ashley? (Until they have the cash to buy him out completely) It really isn't though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC_Chris Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Just hope Rafa has sufficient investment in Jan to keep us in the league. Still my major worry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Is the line about them perhaps not having that much cash because they met in a cheap curry house? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Just hope Rafa has sufficient investment in Jan to keep us in the league. Still my major worry. No reason why not. If Ashley and Staveley sign a deal, it could include a term that says Ashley will release funds and Stavely will pay him back. I don't think there's much risk of her not passing the fit and proper persons test, though obviously its not a complete formality. They could even write something in around that. There's ways and means to guarantee that funds will be available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianovthetoon Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I’m confused as to why the owner of the Daily Star and Express would be that arsed about us. Unless he’s throwing a few quid in or is a secret Newcastle Fan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Am I the only one that thinks these convivial talks (and the logic that both parties probably want this concluded so work could be done during the transfer window) could well be a sign that things may be more advanced than we've been lead to believe ?

The fact they're all talking at all is encouraging. The fact they're talking face to face, in public and the atmosphere seems positive and amicable would suggest it's (a) going to happen and (b) fairly soon.

I can't see why PCP would be interested in pursuing it unless they could do something to safeguard their investment, i.e., avoid any chance of relegation. So yeah, I think it's a fair assumption.
