Guest Yerdas El Savon Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I still think this is very much on and the journos are just making stuff up to generate clicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I’m So so close to walking away from this club for a while. Next 2 or 3 weeks are painfully massive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest godzilla Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 We have seen this game before from Ashley if nobody meets his unreasonable demands then smear them in the press by saying they don't have the backing to meet his price. I don't like how this is playing out now. Which he hasn't done and the group have stated proof of funds were sent nearly 2 months ago within their statement which was nearly two weeks ago, yet not a peep from Ashley. Signs are being taken down we will know soon enough if the takeover is happening and if the signs do go back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I don’t think the signs really matter either way TBH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I don’t think this is happening, unfortunately. I just hope Rafa stays and get reasonable backing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribesman Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I don't expect the club to ever release a statement, but they really need to now. There is so much uncertainty at the club and many conflicting reports in the media that nobody knows where they stand. It says a lot when prospective new owners have communicated better with the fans than Ashley himself. The Bin Zayed Group are going to be humiliated after releasing those optimistic statements if this takeover falls apart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I’m still a little bit confident but seems strange that every uk journo that writes about it suggest it’s far from being done, no proof of funds, pl not starting their tests etc. Someone is telling them all something. It can’t all just be dour, negative guesswork Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 What would the club say though? I don’t want any Ashley-related comment unless it’s a goodbye statement (or suicide note). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be making no comment officially but is he passing info to sources that tell the press? As I said above I find it very odd the uk journos are all saying the same things Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I have seen it with previous takeovers and when he is at loggerheads with Benitez. This is like the 5th time he has apparently been serious about selling the club yet the finger is always pointed at the buying side when the takeover fails.

gdm Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I mean, I’m out if this fucks up. Rafa or not Rafa just means we are stuck forever with Ashley and it’s basically pointless Heading that way myself. Just can’t be bothered any more. I’d support Newcastle in league 2 if they were trying. There is just no point to the club at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Why are people shitting themselves over comments that can’t be backed up that even if they were made, were made by someone who would have fuck all knowledge of the takeover in anyway? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He maybe making no comment officially but is he passing info to sources that tell the press? Again I'll ask how does that tweet indicate Ashley saying they don't have the backing to meet the price? No official word has come from Ashley or the club and until they do we can only go on the official information which has been released from the group, that a company has been created, that Ashley has shut down several companies and it looks like the signs have actully started being taken down. The media have been virtually silent these last few days as they don't know what is going on. Typical fans hear nothing for a few days and doom and gloom (I am suprised by you mind as you have been pretty much saying the same all the way through). I'm convinced we will get official word either this week or next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he hasn't given one indication this time as neither does that tweet which was my point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
