Tiresias Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Sorry Caulkin aint just going to quote stuff for clickbate, the proper journos don't put their name to total rumours (they just stick it under press association as author or whatever). Not saying it's happening at all, but clearly there is something in the story. Or Caulkin has dropped his standards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alijmitchell Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 If it's bullshit, then I suppose at least it'll be a quick cycle of takeover boom and bust chat. This has come out of nowhere. Based on reports we should either know or not quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Nobody can play it down because there's been no comment either way. They're all just quoting the same Sun article. Playing it down would purely be guesswork without official comment. The fact they are quoting it means they trust there is something in the sun article. Still don't believe it mind.

Ashley17 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 It's generated a lot of interest. As Edwards said, his paper wants to know what's going on. You can be the best journalist in the world but you've still got to report what is getting people talking. The Times or any other paper still need to sell subscriptions/advertisements.

Wasn't it the Sun who reported and had photos of Ashley and Staveley in the same restaurant for an alleged dinner/meeting before anyone had a sniff.

Aye you could be right, but then they've stuck their necks out before haven't they? A lot of journos were burned by the Staveley takeover. I suppose it's pointless debating as all I'm really doing is making reasons to not believe it based on the past... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I understand the excitement BUT it ain't happening I think it's classic Mike Ashley diversionary tactics You don't know that, your opinion it's not happening, but you don't know for sure Of course I don't know for certain, it's merely my opinion and I'm basing it on the numerous other takeover news that have turned to nowt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Feels like Xmas eve. Anyone else pulling an all nighter Our lass not long back in from visiting family in Norway, and am watching Sky News Euro Elections coverage. Sleepover shift at 4pm so am gonna have to go to bed soon. IF this does go through - I hope Ashley has all of his claws out of the club. SD signs to come down, the lot.

Absolutely - pressure on buyers, pressure on Rafa to sign (if you don't sign the takeover will fall through...) it's most likely a fucking cunts trick by the despicable twat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
