AlanSkÃrare Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Absolutely no reason for Staveley and her people to inform anyone of the purpose of this company. I'd not read anything into what they're leaking in terms of the purpose now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The thing is these sources are hardly likely to turn around and confirm anything if any deal is approaching a crucial stage, even if it was true. Surely if there's a sensitivity about leaks, as we know there is in the case after some of the coverage over the last few months, it's easier to just say play dumb and then build bridges with a few sports journalists afterwards. In that case I do find the company and context in which it was create more compelling than the denials, but we'll just have to wait and see I suppose.

xLiaaamx Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Edwards has just proven he doesn't have the slightest idea how any of this works, why should he be seen as reliable? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Extremely harsh on Caulkin and Edwards lumping them in with that troglodyte. Caulkin, absolutely. Edwards, nar. He's a prick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Edwards has had a chip on his shoulder towards the club since he/his paper were banned a few seasons ago. Think its probably been lifted now, but the chip clearly remains. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Literally not one of the journalists has said that it's not happening. Funny how people are happy to believe ITKs but even proven-to-be reliable journalists 'know nothing' Such a weird reaction to them across the board imo, but particularly the inclusion of Caulkin. I thought it was tongue in cheek with Caulkin, if it isn’t then it’s very sad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reliable bit was about Caulkin, but still, none of them have said that it isn't happening, yet everyone's still just decided to hoy on some Rage Against the Machine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Absolutely no reason for Staveley and her people to inform anyone of the purpose of this company. I'd not read anything into what they're leaking in terms of the purpose now. Spot on. A reporter is under no obligation to name their source in the UK, either unless it’s in the interests of justice. Anyone here that’s familiar with media law will be aware of Goodwin vs the UK and Ashworth Hospitals vs MGN. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Was is Edwards that Kinnear was calling a "cunt" ? Simon Bird. Edwards has always been an odd fellow. He's a good journalist but sometimes he gets a chip on his shoulder about an issue and ends up coming across as a massive twat. There were a million and one ways he could've responded to that tweet, and yet he chose the one that made him look petty and thick. Quite a feat Oh, and there's always this too...

Toonjam88 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Negative Luke acting like he knew all along 2 points on his tweet. Firstly didn’t the previous Man City owner own them outright so why create a holding company then? Secondly yes there are no shares at the moment but if Staveley is an investor with someone else richer they will each own a percentage of the club therefore shares.

HaydnNUFC Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Edwards can f*** off, too. But seriously, he can. He's a c***. Aye. Caulkin is alreet but Edwards is so fucking weird. Like he's desperate for it fall through so he can say "I told you so" along with Wraith and that Chris Holt on Twitter. Posted as Happy Face on here didn't he, Holt?

Kasper Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I really don't know why but journalists being thick twats really annoys me way more than it should.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I don't get Wraith. I was always under the impression that he wanted Ashley out, yet constantly tweets negative stuff about the takeover. Click bait or clit bait as I call it.

STM Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I don't get Wraith. I was always under the impression that he wanted Ashley out, yet constantly tweets negative stuff about the takeover.

Kanj Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Edwards incapable of understanding that buying 1 of 1 share in a company is 100% interest? Entities are formed to acquire assets for structure, tax and liability reasons. He really is that thick, desperate to shoot shit down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlito Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Look at it this way, which journo out there would hold their hands up and say "You know what? You're right, well played on beating us to the punch". They're too competitive to do that, otherwise they probably wouldn't be in that field in the first place.

Dave Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Caulkin has tweeted in reply to someone that it's been categorically denied that the new company is anything to do with NUFC. None of this 'sources suggest' clickbait the others have gone for. Was nice to hope it was close. Still think it'll happen anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runner Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Edwards' tweet about "no shares to control" is utter bollocks. Fatty owns 100% of the shares in the holding co that owns the shares in the football club company, so if he sells those holding co shares to you then you own it . That's how a takeover works.
