wormy Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 On a positive note, at least I soon don't have to give all my office mates a daily update on this fucking thing. 'Oh, what's happening up there? Gone all quiet, hasn't it? Reckon it'll happen in time to sign some players?' Nearly every fucking day for the past two months.

Nobody Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I remember that time I bought a pair of jeans from Next, put my money on the counter and just left it there with the jeans for 10 weeks and said nowt Yes, that's definitely comparable to bidding on a football club. Almost as daft as spending weeks doing due diligence, going to the trouble of getting a NDA then putting together a complicated clause ridden multi million pound offer, presenting it and then just leaving it on the table for ten weeks during a critical point in the season and having no contact what so ever ....fucking frauds the lot of them. Beggars belief, you haven't learned a fucking thing from us having Ashley as owner. Ashley has been doing this exact same thing for ten fucking years here.

wormy Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Here's a question. If PCP have never made a bid for the club, never even entered negotiations (unbelievable considering the curry meeting), then how the fuck have they been wasting Ashley's time? I'm getting more and more confused as to how people are getting so confused about this. An offer has obviously been made. Ashley is essentially just telling us he's rejected it as it's so derisory, hence it no longer being on the table as it doesn't even count anymore and no new offer is made. PCP seem to have a different view on that previous bid. Or am I missing something!? Thats how I initially got it, but more has came out that indicates him claiming that no bid or talks of negotiations have been done at all. Here's a question.

I mean, I don't believe Ashley. My feeling is PCP have made an offer, Ashley's gone 'brb'. A month or so later after he's not given them the respect of saying yay or nay, he's come out with this passive aggressive cunt show like the snake he is to deflect the blame. Really do hope Staveley and PCP take him to the cleaners if he's trying to screw them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So those saying its a stunt or bluff could prove to be accurate. Until theres official nufc confirmation anything could still happen. ? 99% despair 1% hope. A day in the life of the toon army.

Nobody Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Really have to wonder what the fuck his plan is here? We've got a championship squad and a world class manager that will most likely leave in the summer. Does he not realise just how fucked he is if he doesn't sell? Even if it is for a cut price, it'd be better for him to just cut his ties with us because things are going to get worse from here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I have no idea how anyone can think I would in anyway defend Ashley, that bloke has made my life as a Newcastle fan hell for 10 years and when he eventually digs is own grave with his knife and fork my reaction will be the same as when Thatcher went to her coal fired hell, a big fucking smile across my fat face, but I just cant see the good in PCP, with a bit of luck they will come out with their side of the story but until then I have them firmly in the cunt category.

He could just sell all his shares/business assets and live out the rest of his days pissing about on a beach.

JP Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 It annoys me to think about what PCP/Staveley must take from all of this. I’d love her to know the true feeling of fans right now (the last 15 pages of this thread). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't see how Ashley has played them? You know yourself that he's pulled this trick twice before, and PCP on the other hand have pulled of mega business deals and have a reputation good enough for the royal families in the middle east to use them and Staveley as their deal broker. How can you for one minute begin to think that PCP are the ones behind this collapse? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 FFS: Yeah, this takeover is well and truly over. That kind of comment from MA is ridiculous. Asking for an earnest money deposit at LOI is fucking stupid - no fucking deal is ever done that way. Totally agree. This simply isn't the how these things are done. He seems to think he can re-write the rule book this fucker. I've never known a deal done in this way. Why would you put any capital at risk when you've got to deal with this fucking shark? I think this PR tonight is all off the back of the Express article. It's a massively over the top 'Don't fuck with me' reaction. A sledgehammer to fucking obliterate a tiny nut. For all of this shitshow from Ashley (did we really expect anything else?) I can't say that PCP have covered themselves in glory either. The writing was on the wall when this never developed into exclusivity which is what has tainted my view of PCP a bit. They should've been pushing for that back in November when they made the bid. Overall, this is gutting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. Think a lot of people (myself included) are just assuming that because they're not Ashley, they can't be all bad. I'd trust someone I don't even know over him.
