Shearergol Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 These always start with ‘someone who isn’t a bullshitter’ and includes ‘someone I trust’ Always people who will have had to sign an NDA to even know the news, yet feel the need to break said agreement to tell people on social media. We’ll know if and when it happens, not before. Any “leaked” news is either bullshit or, no, just bullshit. He’s here forever. I imagine if anyone inside the club was going to know about a takeover it would be the finance department and even if an NDA had been signed stopping either buyer or seller from speaking about details of the takeover, it doesn't stop someone from inside the club leaking information. I'm pretty sure that's how the vast majority of insider share trading is done. Christ, I sign NDAs every month just for small projects within the company. I’d be sacked and sued if I disclosed any information around them until the project is classed as closed. Never think “i’ll go stick this news on twitter” but I guess Carl in payroll might think otherwise, maybe? I get what you're saying but this one wasn't on Twitter, it was person to person (apparently) so risk is minimised. Would everyone within the club be asked to sign an NDA? Wouldn't it just be solicitors and the potential buyer? In my experience, anyone working on, or with access to the information around the deal. So if someone in accounts has anything to do with it, they should be asked to sign an agreement. Of course, people do talk, but anyone in a high enough position to know about this won’t be the type to leak it. The only person leaking info is Bishop.

stlouismag Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Someone from another toon forum, he isn't a bullshitter. "I'm not in the know, but just got a call from someone i trust. They are claiming the takeover is all but signed and new will break in the next week or so. I went through the whole bullshit claims and he is adamant that its done and its come from the accounts department within the club." @Trusted_Accounts_Dept_Employee_In_Peace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I say as someone in finance who has had detailed and light touch exposure to NDAs in business or part of business sales that anyone who let anything out the bag - even to a colleague - would be frog marched straight into a disciplinary. There will be rumours of course and some of these will become 'fact' but these cant be trusted at all as nobody outside the NDA will know anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Friend of a Friend In Peace, here. First of all, you've got a great football club and great fans. Not like those dirty mackems up the road. We all have a soft spot for your team and see you as a club we could easily share scarves or merge crests with. Perhaps even a Friendly Cup. Anyway, Thommo says deal done and I trust him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCK Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Everyone who works for Newcastle United signs a media agreement saying they'll not share any information they might know or hear regarding the operational status, players, and staff of Newcastle. Even the community coaches have to sign one of those. I can't imagine someone in accounts is going to tell someone that the takeover is done, maybe as a joke to mess with the person who kept asking them everyday if it was 'done yet'.

Stifler Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 He sat in her living room for an interview with her iirc. I would say the reason she hasn't come back is because Ashleys a piss taking cunt, and he also rejected 3 offers from her. Guessing it gets to a point where you realise you aren't going to get the deal you want. Ashley kept upping the price, then a couple of her backers invested their money elsewhere, and she was interested again, but would have to find some new backers or wait for her original backers to have some funds available to invest again.

It's the same for people who work for Sodexo. If there is a story that is of interest to the media they will be briefed, on matchday, as to what they should say in response to questions.

Toonjam88 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 For me we are stuck in a never ending Ashley circle. He doesn’t spend money in the summer so when season starts we are near to the bottom so he decides i’ll Sell the club but still wants £300 million. Any new owner rightly thinks well I’ll give you £200 million and extra £100 million if we stay up. He thinks fuck that then when we do stay up he wants £400 million for the club, then the cycle begins again. We just have to hope someone can see the potential and see if we spend correctly Rafa will keep us up no problem. But this is NUFC we are always the nearly club.
