Zero Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 By the way I think the next statement (from either side) would make or break the deal. Probably the most critical moment for the whole take over is now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Logic Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 This from the Chronic back in Oct '18 Official #NUFC Fan Forum back in Sept-18 has a section about “Sale of the club”...Translates to: external law firm that asks for proof of funds at the preliminary stage of negotiations” [Chronicle 16/10/18]. Yet in the last day or so Chronicle writers happy to go with spin that no proof of funds has been forthcoming. By their own previous reporting, and club statement in that fans forum, in order to access Data Room 'proof of funds' must have been satisfactorily met. Mohsin Khan @mkhan185 This means that it’s highly unlikely that Bin Zayed Group would have even got a meeting with MA until these basic checks had been carried out on vetting them & their credibility. Though why this Club-stated approach appeared to not have been strictly followed for Kenton’s unclear. (Bacause that one was never real?) BZG signed an NDA towards the back end of 2018, and respected that NDA entirely until this news leaked recently. Who did that is unclear, but it’s not like #NUFC have kicked up a fuss about it, which suggests they were fine with it (or orchestrated its release) 'Here's our chance to stop talking to Rafa then fuck off the deal' To get to a stage where NDA’s are signed and access to the books/data room is granted - from what I can tell - requires some level of credibility to exist, let alone agree on certain terms, structure of payments & put pen to paper.

Consortium of one Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Don't know where I saw it but didn't someone tweet that the club had confirmed that a price had been agreed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Anything the club have said to the fans forum etc, about the process for buying the club, is likely complete bollocks. Just another way for Ashley to suggest he's beyond criticism and buyers are the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Seeing 'Newcastle' on the list of potential destinations for players like Mbappe, Ramos and Bale is just plain fucking weird.

Zero Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Don't know where I saw it but didn't someone tweet that the club had confirmed that a price had been agreed?

tmonkey Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Seeing 'Newcastle' on the list of potential destinations for players like Mbappe, Ramos and Bale is just plain f***ing weird. Gonna take a hell of a lot of getting used to if this actually happens We're not getting daft levels of money to spend, people don't think that do they? Normal owners pls, grow commercial revenue maybe invest a bit. Keep Rafa and build the club slowly. That's all we need. Agree with the sentiment, no top tier player in demand would want to come here other than for money and as we've seen with ManU that's a risky policy to employ. It worked initially for the likes of Man City and Chelsea because they were in early on the "overnight transformation through oil money" phase and pre-FFP too, now it's a different climate and we'd just end up with more Duffs or Owens, the biggish name rejects from CL sides looking for an easy payday. Having said that, an initial injection to fund 5-6 first team classic Rafa targets (i.e. players not many people will have heard of) would be big for us. We're not that far off from the pack of European hopefuls (Leicester/Evert/Wolves/etc). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Think I have mad my mind up that the takeover is real and these local journos are out of the loop. Scrambling all over the place to get their stories out yet they are being getting everything wrong or irrelevant coming their way. These sheikh are two steps ahead of what the journos are just reporting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
