When you hear alleged truths, then they could have not even been there at the same time or even seen one another if they were. Not one image shows them actually together? As a group or anything. The whole thing is a fucking shambles with Rafa caught in the cross fire.Either shes lying or he is, either way im bored shitless of it all tbh.

Stifler Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Took a break from it today. From what I’ve read in the news and the last few posts on here, PCP came out saying that they really were serious and could have put loads of money into the club etc.. All seems very small time to me. In the greater scheme of things. All this back and forth bull plop just keeps our attention away from the absolute appalling lack of a transfer window we’re having, mainly down to her inadequate offer and subsequent time wasting. It’s shocking to think a club like Brighton can outspend us. What recent deals have PCP been involved in btw? The times article said she was involved in a few deals on the same day as being interviewed, including some deal relating to a casino in China. We obviously know about her deal with Man City and Barclays as they were her headline deals. I don’t think she’s one to be involved in the media much, most likely because the media interest in business acquisitions is minimal unless the story is massive. NUFC obviously attracts a lot of attention and the Times article seems to indicate that it’s put her into spotlight more than she would like. I’m sure she would have loved for the whole transaction to have went through without anyone knowing and for 1 day the deal to have been announced out of nowhere.

Wandy Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 That’s a problem that can be dealt with later if needed be. Like how? This is the worst part of the whole sorry saga for me. No matter who the next owner is, our future development as a club has been massively curtailed by this parasite. It's f*cking shameful how he has been allowed to develop this land to the detriment of the club. Shameful. At the moment there is no activity on the site and even though it has been approved it has only been done so on the on condition that an agreement with Nexus is made, which so far hasn’t happened. If Ashley’s intent to sell the club is real and he’s prepared to offer that bit of land to the new owners in a separate purchase then he’s not going to develop it any time soon. If PCP are struggling/reluctant to stump up £300m with no clauses I'd say the chances of them forking out another £60m for the land are pretty slim. And, to be honest, if they dont have plans to expand the stadium that is another potential red flag with this lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a big if now unfortunately, but if PCP buy the club, I think Staveley will set up meetings with supporters' groups such as NUST etc. In those meetings it could be brought up.

Stottie Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Why aren't the press mentioning this when they talk about Ashley, how much he has spent, and the price he wants to sell at? PCP are being criticized for being 50M short of the press version of his price, but his price also includes him keeping 60M of land. Its also land that the club will need if stadium expansion in the current site, something central to what the club is, is ever to go ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I cannot believe as NUFC fans we're still debating who we should trust more and siding with Ashley on any front. Aye - it's one of the reasons bullshitters like Ashley get away with so much, just need to create enough doubt to muddy the waters a little. After 10 years of it you would think everyone would've caught on, but there's a surprising amount still going with it - think it might be at least partly a kind of Stockholm Syndrome where if you know you're fucking stuck with him you may as well try and make the best of it. He might be buttfucking you every single day but if he stills gives you your tea afterwards he can't be all bad surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Anyone having the cheek to call her a liar (even if she is), can fuck off. She'd have to be running a paedo death ring to come anywhere close to as evil and cuntish as Ashley. Any bad word on Staveley should be accompanied by an article on Ashley's wrong doing. There's no comparison. None. Even if she's not serious about buying the club, the worst she has done is give us hope. Which is more than that bellend has ever done.

Absolutely spot on. WHAT! Obviously Ashley's the cunt (and always will be) but are we saying it's fine if Staveley has never had intentions to buy us? Because it's fucking not If you want hope built on lies then make them up yourself. Seriously? Are we that sad we're happy with lies just because they give us hope? Have a fucking word soft fucking shites. For what it's worth I think she's legit. But if it turned out she wasn't...like fuck is she to be thanked Absolute drivel. Think the point was just any hope > no hope. Obviously I do believe she was serious, doesn't mean it'll end up with her buying the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I hate Ashley but tbf when he bought us that gave us hope too. False hope like, but the same could apply here. We just have a greater evil in charge now than we did back then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 And that's the reason even Shepherd was preferable to Ashley, despite being incompetent and despised by many by the time Ashley took over. At least there was a chance something good might happen under him, as opposed to none. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
