FloydianMag Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 If this was going to happen it would now have been done and dusted. Reports that talks have been going on for months only increases the risks of it leaking out. I’m therefore sceptical about claims that Ashley is annoyed it’s now out there, I’m of the opinion he has no intention of selling the club to anyone.

loki679 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I reckon Staveley's probably leaked it for whatever reason and there's basically no chance of it happening. The names being mentioned are wealthy enough to have this tied up and done in a matter of weeks if they wanted to just using the change they find down the back of their sofa. Really just smells like another bullshit game, probably on her part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 No need for anyone to get over exercised over the moral dilemma of this happening. It is utter horseshit, even more so that the clowns at TalkShite are all over it (especially a mackem wind up merchant). Of course in the interests of fairness, I trust the voices of 'opposition' to this have the same views on anyone currently supporting MA's regime by continuing to attend matches/buy merchandise/sing 'Give us a wave Brewcie' etc. I'm sure they do of course.

SweMag Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 The most interesting part of it is that one of they guys who broke the story is currently writing a book about Mohammed bin Salman. If true, the leak is probably from Saudi Arabia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydazzla Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Fat Mike loves to spice up his boring transfer windows by mugging everyone off with false talk of new owners, that Saudi gadge needs to cause a distraction as the UN want a word with him about fiddling with Bezos phone. Deploy the bi-annual NUFC takeover rumour. Jobsagoodun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Has Downie came out and said he understands the new owners will be heavily investing into the club and area, only to then come out and say the new owners don't have a pot to piss in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisjraby Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 It is truly amazing how this happens every fucking transfer window like clockwork, and there's never any substance to it. The amount of contempt the club shows to the fans is almost impressive . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 To be honest, I'm sure there is interest in buying the club - I don't buy into the idea that it's all a work of fiction written by Bishop. It's all irrelevant though as Ashley clearly isn't wanting to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I don't understand why the cunt can't just sell us and buy another club to start again. He's been done here for years, there's no forgiving or going back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all irrelevant though as Ashley clearly isn't wanting to sell. Definitely agree with this. Staveley has been trying for a while though. Would she really be wasting hers and the investors' time if she knew Ashley wasn't a willing seller? Maybe previous attempts have tried to get the fat cunt to lower his asking price knowing how much he's hated by the fanbase and now they've gone out to get bigger money players who can actually pay what he's asking?

He's pretty secure right now, too, with no realistic danger of relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 It’s just so strange that these trillionaire types always offer £10m short. Every transfer window. Strange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 So, IF a takeover happened and Staveley was involved, would there be any chance of a return for Rafa? Or do we think they'd make a complete clean break and bring in someone new? Surely they wouldn't keep Mrs Doubtfire? ... in my head I know this is 99% a moot point due to the usual fakery of any takeover news but I'm just passing the time.

He'd only be coming back here for the same. Unlike Bruce who came home for his love of the club and area. He's a Geordie you know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I think the main problem is Mike Ashley half wants to sell the club but at the same time doesn’t know what it’s worth. Doesn’t want to run the club in a way to gain maximum value so he’s stuck in this place where he has an asset that’s not worth half of what it could be 350m seems to have been a figure dropped in the media several times. But that seems low to me. The playing squad is worth half that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
