You know, the shock of realisation behind such a statement nearly had me fall off my chair... 

[Guest chopey]

No need to leak any bullshit stories this week with all the Man U stuff going on, Christmas next week and then 4 weeks of "this is so close just some i's to dot" before it gets cancelled and we need to pull together and save this club from relegation with Mike pledging every penny the club makes.

Everyone just needs to see what happens - there is definitely something happening with definite interest as just too many reports to suggest otherwise.

Which may have all originated from Bishop and Ashley. Kenyon has said nowt himself.

He hasn't came out to deny it either which for a person of his standing he would.

Again, not when it's come from respectable people like Caulkin.

 

Like groundhog day in here, the interest is there, unfortunately so is Ashley who will reject any offers that aren't massively in his favour, which he won't get from Kenyon or probably anyone else for that matter.

How do you know where Caulkin’s heard it from though? He hasn’t said. I’m just too cynical about this whole thing due to the experience of the lies and deception over the last ten years or so.

I was thinking that as well but then I thought how a little money can make people more or less loyal/apahetic once on the payroll. Perhaps MA has appointed Kenyon as an advisor and has him on a very high hourly rate. This of course a smokescreen just to buy MA time til the end of Jan. Risk and reward and all that....

This bloke was chief executive at Man Utd and Chelsea do you really think he would get involved in somethink like this. We know Ashley is a cunt but think people are taking it a bit far when they actually think that a well respected person on football is playing along with Ashley to piss the fans off again and not spend in January - no not having that - yes the deal may fail due to Ashleys demands but to suggest a ploy is really just silly - nobody expected Ashley to buy anyway so why does he need a masterplan to try and justify it.

[r0cafella]

Buying time until January makes no sense, the Wolves boycott wouldn't have worked out due to the run we went on so Ashley has given The Magpie group a good out.

 

If the club isn't sold and the team struggles I expect the protests to resume with some gusto and even more support amongst the fans.

Kenyon would do his standing in the game no end of damage if it came out he was colluding with a crook like Ashley. Ashley's reputation is dirt, both in business and football. Take another look at the people Bishop was able to rustle up to speak in support of Ashley and against Rafa at the start of the season: Keys, Gray, Wise, Allardyce, Pardew etc (have i missed anyone?). Now take a look at the guy you are claiming is in collusion with Ashley over a fake transfer ruse.....

Kenyon is about as far removed from that set of scumbags as you're likely to find and I'm 1000% convinced he wouldn't involve himself in anything like is being suggested on here.

Agree with this. The deal will fall through because Ashley will overprice it, not because there's no interest. Kenyon appears to have done everything by the book, hence the low profile, don't know why people seem to think he's in on some fiendish wind up with Ashley.

In our heads it would. The reality is that nobody else really gives a shit about this club. We’re only visible because of some of the league we play in. Otherwise, there’s nothing newsworthy about this club to the outside football fan apart from the odd player indiscretion, like Shelvey and his racism.. or Joey Barton getting locked up.

 

If we spent money and competed in the league then we could undo years of being out of sight/out of mind. But right now that’s not the case.

 

Peter Kenyon could well be reaping publicity off this full well knowing it’s all bollocks. But aside from us, there would be no repercussions for him at all.. and what are we gonna do about it? Give Opta Advisors what for on twitter?

[Happinesstan]

All he has to do is say "you should never believe what you read in the media", and his reputation is enhanced. I'm sure he's far too busy to respond to such childish rumours. Has anybody even approached him for comment?

[Hughesy]

People were saying this about Staveley.  What publicity would Kenyon or Staveley get and how would it help them?

[Ikon]

We won't be sold and it means that Rafa is definitely gone in the summer. And because we're not gonna get taken over no quality player will want to sign for us, even IF we were willing to pay the money. Why would anyone good enough sign for us and commit their future when Rafa won't. You could argue about them signing for the €€, but the players we should aim for will have other better options with a more solid and bright future.

 

Having said that, Merry Christmas folks.

If this happens as you say it’ll make walking away from nufc into exile again very easy

[HaydnNUFC]

Media give info about takeover.

“Lies. If it was real the media wouldn’t have this info, it’s all planted by Fat Ash. The club admitted to the tribunal...”.

 

Media is quiet about takeover.

“Well everything has gone quiet. We’ve been done again”.

[Ikon]

I hope so, I really do (that it'll be 'easy').

I’m not talking about his standing among fans, I’m talking about his standing when it comes to football investors, CEOs, the business press, potential recruiters etc.

He just doesn’t strike me as that kind of guy at all. And if he was courting publicity wouldn’t it generate more if he came out and spoke to the media, agreed to interviews, was visible at games?

For someone supposedly courting publicity he’s doing a very good job of keeping his head down.

[Paully]

As if Kenyon would bend over for a bit publicity via that fat wanker FFS  :lol:

[AsprillasShinPad]

Good god, it's going to be fucking awful in the summer when Rafa goes, £0 is made available for transfers and we get some utter cunt like Dennis Wise as manager.  The FCB will take advantage of the fact that peak fan rage will be reached by pushing through a bunch of otherwise unpalatable stuff like renaming SJP again, signing the club up to SD advertising for the next 10 years and having a blue and red striped away kit with a big fuck off SD logo on or some shit like that.

 

What'll happen?  52,000 zombies will go to the games and applaud slide tackles out for throw ins whilst chanting "loyalest supportaz the world has eva seeen!"
