Im amazed anyone expects or has expected any info to come out of many sources on twitter or local journos. Have you seen twitter and read local papers? 99.99% of both of them are tripe. Everyday. Theres going to be a handful of people in the entire world know any details about any if this at this stage and before. Thats not going to be anyone covering local football until a late stage when more info is released or one person who gets some insider knowledge. Of course they aint getting any inside stories. They were never and are never likely to.

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

 

how do you know about the meeting?

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

just what i read,should have saved the link really

 

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)

 

So another Chronicle report  ;D ;D and nothing actualy in writing from the Premier League. I very much doubt if they have to.

Caulkin aside, I give a wide berth to most the current crop of journalists. Some of the utter dribble that's published (& often chronicled on here) begs belief.

 

Someone posted this earlier, but I`m convinced forums like these are one their main sources of info.

 

Either way, I totally agree with the sentiment that we`ll just hear an announcement out the blue & if it wasn't for the lad who scooped the company reg. yesterday we`d still be totally in the dark.

Totally different that deal had nothing to do with NUFC and was stated at the time. Further proven that the company has continued to trade and is actually showing as a profit in its lastest accounts.

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’.

You dont have the best one on there.....SYNERGY. I work in a corporate oil and gas office here in the US and some of these corporate bullshit words boul my piss to extreme levels. Only last week during a meeting I had one of the superintendents say to me " the water is low and the rocks are showing" apparently he meant we are in the shit. This cunt is a proper blue sky thinking ladder climber

I've been in recent management training sessions where they talked about 6 hat thinking. The idea being that you wear a different coloured hat every time you wanted to discuss a different topic

:lol:

also used in Scrum if people are doing different roles

 

i personally despise 'blue sky thinking' and, worse of all, 'touching base'...always reminds me of touching cloth

It’s always the ladder climbers that spout this kind of shit. They want to sound clever to impress people above them and love to hear themselves talk.

We should connect offline and do some disruptive ideating about the optics of shifting the paradigm for metrics in the club takeover space.

 

Optics! That’s another one doing the rounds at the moment.

'...shifting the paradigm...'...shudder....

I feel you could engage in a more purpose-driven implementation of the takeaways from this, LV.

This American has his ear to the ground and his head in the weeds.  But when I take a 1000 foot view I see that the deal will be unofficially announced tomorrow and officially announced on Tuesday, although the process will go on for a few more weeks as previously alluded too.

 

The key is Rafa.  If they can get his quick buy in, he can start the heavy lifting and bring players in.  Low hanging fruit first, then drill down for more.

 

I'll circle back as I get updates.

:lol: I work in Agile but only my department. The rest of my company doesnt. Agile has its annoyances but the concept of getting away from management tripe is a good one. Going in to meetings with other departments and managers is a fucking nightmare. Full of 'action points', 'point of contacts', 'agendas' etc. There is one guy who is literally like that management talk superhero comic someone posted on here.
