loki679 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 If you turn the n in holdings upside down, clone the t in Ltd and turn it upside down and discard a bunch of letters it spells 'Fat Cunt Ltd'. Clearly a coded signal it's on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 The Public Investment Fund (PIF) is the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia. It is among the largest sovereign wealth funds in the world with total estimated assets of $320 billion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Investment_Fund_of_Saudi_Arabia Why would they need partners to complete a £350m purchase of NUFC? No doubt they'll drop out when Mike Ashley raises the asking price by £10m even though they probably make that much money in 10 minutes from oil.

jonny1403 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I refuse to believe, but this guardian article goes into a hell of a lot of detail compared to the high level stuff that was going around following the Peter Kenyon fiasco: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jan/26/saudi-340m-takeover-newcastle-leak-threatens-deal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are saying they need people in the UK to set up companies and stuff but I refuse to believe they couldn’t get one of their own people to do it for them here without involving the likes of Staveley and the Reuben brothers.

Guardian one sort of answers that. She approached them and wants a stake, they want her to be the public face which sort of makes sense if they're trying to improve the image of the country.

TRon Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 The Times is saying Big Mike is furious that the story was leaked by the WSJ and that could lead to the whole deal collapsing. My reading of that is he is the one who probably leaked the story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reading of that is he is the one who probably leaked the story. This wouldn't surprise me at all. He doesn't want to relinquish ownership in my opinion. Plus the last takeover was 'definitely happening' as well. I won't be getting excited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Aye I don’t get that. “You leaked it? Fine, I don’t want your £340m”. If he wants to sell (ha), being in the press won’t stop it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Wonder if it will all collapse just as the loan window closes and season ticket renewals have gone through? I don’t believe a word that comes out of the club and I’m ignoring it until something actually happens. I’ll not hold my breath. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 The only place 'Ashley is furious' stories could come from (apart from the journos imagination) is the Ashley camp. Just sowing the seeds for the inevitable collapse and tyre kicker press release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Why would the story leaking cause it to fall apart anyway? Absolute bullshit. Just guessing here but as MA hates media coverage and scrutiny to a pathological degree, that's two things he gets if the sale is leaked instead of completed quietly and quickly behind closed doors.

Wolfcastle Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Grimly its just hit that we are exactly where we were 12years ago. Club just waiting to get relegated (when not if), fakeovers and not an inch further forward. Its not hard to imagine saying the same thing in 12years. This 'leak' stuff - its just any excuse for Ashley not to sell and for the apologists to put that reality another way and pin the blame on anybody but the common denominator Ashley. At this point only trolling or insanity can excuse it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penn Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Why would the WSJ leak this before any other publication?? Because WSJ journalists have actual contacts in high finance where this story began circulating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 WSJ don’t post bull shit PR spin or favors or fake news from Keith Bishop or an Ashley crony. For ANY and ALL who think this, please have a word with yourself. This isn’t the NE Media or friends at the London office for the national papers. Ashley “furious” is 2 and 2 together because he always gets annoyed with things playing out in media. Just because deals leak it won’t mean dick about the actual deal getting done if the buyer and seller act accordingly. It ain’t collapsing all of a sudden either. The 20% UK stake with AS and Reuben brothers is clearly that 1) public face 2) they approached the Saudis and 3) they have done a considerable amount of local work and planning and can offer plug and play. They will be doing all the heavy lifting. I think this one has legs. Let’s hope Ashley doesn’t fuck this up for the millionth time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
