54 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Tbf if our options were NFL owners Arthur Blank's probably the best one we could hope for Serious question, how come? I'm always very sceptical of NFL owners taking charge of football clubs due to the franchise nature of the NFL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Anyone really going to change their minds about boycottint the Wolver game as a result of this crap? Really hope people are not so gullible. People weren't going to do it anyway. You'll be lucky if there is a couple of thousand that don't attend, it won't arse him in the slightest. The entire reason you're posting is because he's been arsed enough about it to go on Sky to lie about it. Do you honestly believe that? He's got more important things going on. NUFC and a few fans boycotting one game is well down on his list of priorities. I personally think he's tired of fighting on two fronts, his tat empire with Jo Public & the Government and the club with the fans, and he's choosing to jettison the club if someone can offer him decent terms. The club rewards him less and the gambles are a lot higher. He hasn't the stomach for another relegation or a continued fight with the fans. He wants out, more than ever. Keep the pressure on him, he's cracking, but for me his statement tonight is nothing to do with the Wolves game and everything to do with him wanting to get things moving so he can focus on SD and 'saving the high-street' with him investing the sale of the club either direct in to SD as the shares are down or him buying commercial property to become his own landlord. I suppose time will tell for who is right. You're invited to my told you so party, they'll be cake and balloons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Know this is probably one for the rumour bullshit bollocks, but I was told last week that the person interested was Arthur Blank, and no not a piss take. He’s the Co-owner of Home Depot and the Atalanta Falcons. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Blank Anyway, most likely bollocks and more lies but just thought I’d share. Welcome, Arthur.

thomas Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Newcastle is Atlanta's sister city. Geordies? Georgians! Blank is cool and good and it's so dumb to even hope this is true. He's nee sheik though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Another advertisement to try and create a bidding war. Plus an excuse not to spend in January..... Rinse & Repeat. So when has he acually in person been filmed on camera saying that he is hopefull a deal will be completed by January - doesn't need to say a word as previous and nobody expects him to spend. Might be a load of shit but actually he would put more pressure on himself if it was than he would by saying fuck all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always very sceptical of NFL owners taking charge of football clubs due to the franchise nature of the NFL. He's just less of a terrible person than most. Even does smart things like lower the food/drink prices in his new stadium and of course they made more money from concessions because more people were willing to spend a normal price on food. Also his two teams are generally just good/well run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose time will tell for who is right. You're invited to my told you so party, they'll be cake and balloons I dunno why I wouldn't believe that considering he's done it time and time and time again. Be it because of protests, or as an excuse to not spend. This one's a 2 for 1, even if the Wolves boycott is the none event everyone thinks it'll be. He's far more concerned about PR and manipulation than many of our fans seem to think and short of actually selling, there's a mountain of evidence that backs that up. I will happily attend your party like, I'll never be more happy to be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
