Mole_Toonfan Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 If i was an prospective buyer, i'd be more concerned with takeovers being made public knowledge affecting the team so risking relegation than any protests. Although considering it's likely bullshit anyway i expect they are leaking it to the press themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 For some reason this morning I decided, instead of working on my dissertation, to watch the first half an hour of Ashley's recent grilling by MPs. For years we've talked about what a prick he is, based almost entirely on our experiences of him as a football owner... but watching him publicly shout and ball and squirm and gesticulate really makes it a reality. He really is a deeply unpleasant person and one of those that, regardless of all the NUFC and Sports Direct stuff, you just wouldn't want to spend five minutes in the company of. Massively defensive, massively argumentative, just a rancid ball of hot air. Incidentally, having watched that, it couldn't be more obivous now that the Sky News feature that followed (including the section with the pre-rehearsed purring about selling the club) was clearly set up in his favour. Ten minutes of questions which simply played into his hands and stroked his ego. "HMMMM." Urgh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Caught some of it myself and he was so defensive it was unreal. Just constant whining in response to reasonable questions. Interpolic in "new page shocker", responds "get fucked" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 The idea of Peter Kenyon calling up random toon fans asking them to knock off the protests. Kenyon giving out leaflets round Monument "divvnt protest, deal almost done". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I'm surprised the British Empire didn't use this tactic, might've stopped Gandhi kicking off. "We're leaving anyway, see? We're just about to leave. No need to protest." Us Indians would've piped down like NUFC fans. #WaitForIndependence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 i mean in some ways you've got to give MA & KB maximum respect, they've got the number of our fans and can play them like a cheap flute...it's actually too easy for them at this point, they're just fucking phoning it in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get it in your calendars for next December. The issue I have is with the making legitimacy of the bids the be all and end all. This year, just like last year the intention of the other party is there, but that doesn't change the fact that they're dealing with Mike Ashley who'll move the goalposts to prevent a sale after he's used the situation to stop protests.
