jarrovianmag Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 It’s been speculated/reported that ashley could have been there as a message to the fans. It’s equally likely he could have been there as a message to the buyers. What’s the message? Saying his goodbyes Wishful thinking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 or he could have just been there to watch a game without having to pay Basically aye. He's there because he can be, making people speculate and enraging fans for 30 seconds will just be a bonus for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 He went to watchn us for the last time as owner. Could have picked the Norwich game but it was a home game. Last home and away game watching us was against Oxford then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Him being there has no bearing on a takeover. If and when he does sell, he wants to keep a box at SJP for him and his family. Even if he did sell, I still think he’d be at a few of our games every so often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweMag Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Probably nothing but... 30 Jan: Ashley’s private plane (G-MATO) flies from London to Genève, Switzerland. The Reuben Brothers are located in Genève: https://www.reubenbrothers.com/general-contacts/ 2 Feb: After three days in Genève the plane returns to London. 3 Feb: Four days without any activity (days when his plane was in Genève) Ashley’s helicopter (G-MAOL) leaves England and flies to France and was spotted very close to Mohammed Bin Salman’s mansion near Versailles. 4 Feb: The helicopter returns to England and High Wycombe before flying to Oxford in the evening. Ashley in the stand watching Oxford - NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 That all seems to make sense and I’m not disputing it. However, he met Staveley for a curry last time. No certainty whatsoever that just because he’s met them, he’s going to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ankles Bennett Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Anyone a subscriber to the Financial Times? Its got an article regarding Saudi buying NUFC for £350m.

Ameritoon Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I was reading some quotes from his first interview Referring to reports a Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund is discussing buying Newcastle United, having first considered Manchester United, Masters said any new owner would be subject to “due diligence” and background checks. The league’s “fit and proper persons” test for owners and directors bars people who have criminal convictions, including those who have committed acts in other countries which would be considered crimes in England. Asked whether there would be an investigation into the key people involved in a Saudi fund if it did take over a club, Masters said: “We do an enormous amount of due diligence, we do; so it’s not just that we receive the forms … and take them at face value. There are background checks, and that’s the same for everybody.” Honestly, impressive how much he avoided the question completely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Yimentov Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Mike's prescence didn't fill me with confidence last night. It's hard to imagine why he'd be there if he's on the brink of selling. He's a weird bloke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a weird bloke. Mike's prescence didn't fill me with confidence last night. It's hard to imagine why he'd be there if he's on the brink of selling. He's a weird bloke. There is 0 logic to Mike showing up or not - no way is he sending any messages to anyone. Bloke literally had nothing else better to do so turned up. Brucie probably invited him and quietly dedicated the W to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
