Mike Ashley (former owner) (still alive)


Recommended Posts

Caulkin knows his shit for sure, but then how come this deal was in the works for fucking ages and he didn't have a clue about it? Not saying anything against him personally, I'm saying none of them have the info.

 

i suppose their answer to that is the only thing suggesting it's as far along as BZG claim is an article in the sun and two statements they've made themselves, caulkin et al have said for ages talks have been ongoing with multiple parties

 

seems to me that either BZG are full of shite or they're further along in the process than caulkin et al know about and club insiders have stopped briefing them or their ITKs don't know anything to be able to brief them off the record

 

How did we go from being sold, to nearly sold, to now there are other interested parties? It's a complete clusterfuck, like the previous takeover sagas.

Sean in WUM shocker. He didnt even know that BZG had provided proof of funds until yesterday.  :lol:

 

:lol: BZG have claimed to have provided proof of funds. Theres no actual evidence to prove this.

 

True but i bet you think they set up Monochrome acquisitions for a laugh. You are being negative for the sake of being negative

 

Well it doesn't cost much to set up a company ffs.

 

I suppose you believe that we're definitely sold seeing as they set up a company eh?

 

It's Mike Ashley ffs, the most likely outcome is the one we've seen multiple times.

 

No I don’t think we are definitely sold but the company was set up for a reason and not for a laugh.

 

Yeah but what if Ashley let them think they had a deal agreed and then backtracked? I just don't see this running as smoothly as most seem to think it will.

Well no, I'd imagine not, but why on god's earth would some sheik from the middle east team up with Ashley to troll Newcastle fans, why would that happen?

 

I'm not saying this is the case, just that nobody has a fucking clue whats going on in reality.

 

Absolutely this. Neeone knaaars. everyone is pretending they are in the know. although I have heard Ashley isn't going anywhere ever and Mark Hughes will be the new manager.

Caulkin knows jack shit, same as all the other journo’s.

 

Caulkin is straight down the line, he's one of the best covering us.

 

But he's not saying what some people have convinced themselves is the truth unfortunately.

 

What is it that people have convinced themselves is the truth?

 

Basically he’s arsey because people arnt as negative as him. Take no notice

 

Yeah I know, similar to waster.  I just like to question what they are actually talking about when they give a vague statement based on nothing.

 

They made a statement, the club confirmed they're genuine.  About as much proof as we can expect at this point.  Not sure why some people expect everything to be done in public.

 

I still reckon Mike fuckin it all up is a massive possibility, but I don't see the need to just rubbish all the facts that clearly point to something happening.  Well, other than trying to score hipster points on an online forum.

the press have been fairly consistent with the exception of the sun journo who broke the story, they've all said a few interested parties for quite some time

 

only unknown is if BZG are further along than any of them know and the clubs people are in the dark about it

 

that's it boiled down for me

Another statement based on nowt.  Who thinks this is going to run smoothly? Literally everyone has reservations about Ashley fucking it up.

I dont think anyone is saying they've set it up for a laugh. Some people are saying that they might be exaggerating how close they are to completing the deal.

They made a statement, the club confirmed they're genuine.

 

The club did nothing of the sort because they're not genuine, there's been no serious bid and a takeover won't happen this summer.

 

That's not pessimism - it's the reality staring you in the face.

 

It's going to seem so brutally obvious in hindsight.

Afternoon gents  :cool:

 

I'd like to apologise for my abuse last week. I don't want to wake up with that level of venom in my heart again. Damn I was boiling last week

 

Hope you’ve had your breakfast

:lol: last week was a testing week for me to say the least. All good now though. I will still be astounded if Ashley isn't here by August

That is pessimism.  But thanks for the input.

 

And yeah, the club said that the discussions with BZG were genuine, since then...no comment.

Er, the club have confirmed nothing.  :lol:

 

I'm out, you can keep making things up all you like.

I don't recall other EPL clubs like Leicester having to go through all this crap when they were bought.  Southampton have also been sold a few times, as have Villa.  I think Watford have also been sold but not sure if while in the EPL.  Everton sold a majority stake to a shareholder too.  Palace were sold as well but again they may have been taken over while in the Championship.

which other clubs have been sold for anything in the region of what we're going for?

 

liverpool went cheap i think

manyoo went for big money ages ago

arsenal was weird but would probably have been more

 

any others potentially about the £350m mark?

Another statement based on nowt.  Who thinks this is going to run smoothly? Literally everyone has reservations about Ashley fucking it up.

 

It's an opinion not a statement.

That's not an opinion, that's you stating that most people think it will run smoothly.

 

Who are these people who think it's going to run smoothly?

Wow OK you got me on my wording. OK if it's replaced by "those who think BZG will own the club soon"?
