could be announced today or tomorow from our side as that pl meeting is taking place today

 

Possible but I suspect egg head will stay tight lipped to the press. Hopefully he will slip up.

 

The press will soon find out when he leaves the meeting, puts his cap on the ground, brings out a battered old banjo and starts busking.

how do you know about the meeting?

 

6 June

The Premier League Annual General Meeting is held. This is where the formal changing of the seasons happens. The promoted clubs are formally entered into the League and the Premier League switches to 2019/20 with the league table reset.

I agree with you on this detail, but there is nothing on the site to suggest that clubs must advise of any takeovers or new ownership. Are we just straw clutching?

Apologies for the generalisation but my personal experience is that recruiters are the biggest bullshitters I deal with in business :lol:

 

Pretty fair generalisation :lol:

 

Thought showers was another, now thankfully defunct corporate bullshit phrase.

 

We always used to print out these (bit old now but you get the meaning) and play bullshit bingo in the opening plenary session with the GM at conference, until some knackered decided to jump up and shout ‘house’.

Take Ownership

 

'Raise it up the flagpole and see who salutes' is my personal favourite

i read about it last week,annual pl meeting which all clubs must attend,also any club changing ownership has to inform other clubs at the meeting,reasons to me are unknown ,im not one for digging the ins n outs

 

Surely that cant be right. If you intend to sell the club its no business of any other clubs until its done.

 

If that's true, I find it a bizarre requirement

Aye, its a weird one. It's not exactly nailed on that anyone buying/selling a club would be doing it at this specific time of year, to then report it at this meeting.

With the Premier League's AGM used to discuss the future direction of the top flight and to debate crucial issues affecting all 20 clubs, Charnley's fellow chief executives will press for an update from the United MD.

 

The Premier League prefers decisions to be make unanimously, and so the other teams will want to know if Newcastle are set for a change of ownership, or whether the current hierarchy will remain in place for the medium term. (CW)

The old classic “take it offline” when in a face to face meeting. I feel my blood pressure increase every time I hear it!

Just means they either can’t answer the question or the people in the room won’t like the answer.

My current workplace love to say 'offline' and 'pre-download your thoughts'. I actually have shuddered at the last one :lol:

 

Back in wanky agency land, everyone called the product environment 'world'.

 

Even worse, I've found people genuinely make a living & good wage spouting off this shit.

Does Odin have credibility? I mean, sorry to be talking so openly about you Odin but your info is so good that I need to know that your not just a WUM.

 

And Greg, he's a mod, surely he wouldnt put his neck on the line? (Unless he was guessing)

 

All seems to good to be true. I'm severely hoping for a major scoop from someone like Caulkin, an exclusive interview confirming it or whatever.

 

As far goes Pinsent yes, I moonlight as a recruiter for high level positions. Legal is one of the areas I dabble in along with Localization and Digital. I’ve pinched a few for them (Pinsent Masons) in the last 2 years. Especially when they were setting up a new Dublin office.

 

I didn’t post all day yesterday as am on holidays in Italy right now but when I saw all the news yesterday evening I reached out to my guy and he was aware of it so I didn’t need to fish too much for the info.

 

The takeover is a formality at this stage I’ve been told. Pinsent have a big team working on this, I assume Ashley does too with his lawyers so it’ll get trashed out in due course.

 

The main thing now is for BZG to move funds into a holding account controlled by the law firm. He doesn’t know for sure as he’s not working directly on this but he says deals of this size are usually done in instalments over the course of a few weeks and if the club has been broken up into smaller pieces like it has, each transaction will be a tranch of parts of the club, until it’s all transferred over in full.

 

Well one things for sure you’re definitely moving in corporate circles, with the ‘reaching out’ stuff :lol:

 

Want to punch people at work when they say that.

 

With you on this one. As well as stuff like ‘deep dive’ and ‘helicopter view’

Do these things get announced on Sundays?

 

Depends which side announces it. Sunday is a normal working day in the middle-east, they work Sunday-Thursday with Friday and Saturday as their weekend.

I read this too Marki, a few days ago. But can’t remember where either. Could have been a media report though so quite possibly absolute bullocks.

 

Edit: yeah, bullocks

It wasn't one of "the five things that need to happen for the takeover to go through"

 

...Was it?

‘In the ‘insert word here’ space’ when talking about a certain issue.

 

Eg We need to discuss the way forward in the public policy space
