Gallowgate End Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Pathetic that the hopes of a fanbase are relying on a takeover. What a state. We need this like. We need Rafa is what we need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heake Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Big Mike has got his cock out on a beach in Bermuda laughing till he hoys up into his penis colada while we all sweat on what increasingly looks like a phantom takeover.

Minhosa Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I’m spitballing here but maybe sales of players and agreement from buyers that these deals and their fees lower the price (and MA keeps the money from these sales) in lieu of agreeing to advertising rights etc could help effectuate a sale. In other words MA thinks his SD advertising is worth 30m of value. Buyer does not agree. He sells Ayoze for 30m. Agrees to adjust price accordingly and keep said incoming fee or portion there-of. Buyer pays less at closing. Absolutely desperate post I know. Crossed my mind too Kanji[/member]. Would be a very sensible way of killing any of the add-on type clauses he'll inevitably want. It would, however, raise a fairly large question mark around the buyers resources if they were willing to cede this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I don't go on Twitter, have people just been relentlessly harassing him about the statement? I get that people are desperate for good news, but do people really think they're going to get anything extra/some sort of exclusive by hounding him? Or if people are calling it bullshit, at least give it till the end of the week. Like the whole Midhat Whatsapp carry on, I just don't get it.

Guest Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Gonna be saying we are great supporters but they couldn't get a deal done, isn't it? Given how the club came out to confirm Rafa was leaving a week before his contract ended, I’m of the opinion any bad news would be broken by the club first.

Given how the club came out to confirm Rafa was leaving a week before his contract ended, I’m of the opinion any bad news would be broken by the club first. Yep, it was Ashley who ended the talks with Staveley, then she followed it up with her interview with Caulkin. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/newcastle-takeover-off-mike-ashley-amanda-staveley-owner-walks-away-talks-a8162916.html A source close to Ashley has said: “It is only right to let the fans know that there is no deal on the table or even under discussion with Amanda Staveley and PCP. Attempt to reach a deal have proved to be exhausting, frustrating and a complete waste of time.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 The longer they stay silent, yes. I think if they weren’t close to selling, the Rafa statement last Monday would have been the perfect time to say so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club is a shambles, no manager, no coaching staff, 1 striker, players start pre-season tomorrow. 5 weeks till transfer window closes.

geordiedean Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 People need to be realistic here theres no takeover it's not going to happen we are up against it time wise If BZG were genuinely interested it would have been concluded by now to give them time to settle in and put plans in place for the forthcoming season. As it stands 36 days we have until window shuts and season starts and we have no manager no coaches no goalscorers and a club in utter shambles BZG are in effect paying 350m for a championship club as that is what is certain to happen with or without any takeover That's the reason it's not happening Ashley is just asset stripping as a giant fuck you the petulant cunt he is.

Chicane Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Are folk still seriously being strung along by this horseshit? "A fee has been agreed" "They're going through the Fit & Proper person test" "A statement will be released in the next 24 hours" "No wait, in the next few days" Just one load of garbage after another from random 2-bit "journos", ITKs and fucking dentists and radio hosts Honest question here, at what point do you accept this is all bollocks? How many days? Another week? Two? Deadline day? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Humbled by the support, still committed and doing everything they can, other factors at play but still hopeful" If it was that, whats the delay in releasing the statement? What would be the delay if they knew the deal was on or off? Seems like they have been pressured into saying something and are waiting for some suitable info to share? Could just also have a charnley of their own that is lax in doing things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
