Armchair Pundit Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 All this is so boring and tiresome. Like every match under Fat Mike's reign Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Can we not just change the stadium name back to Sports Direct Arena, change the strip colour to blue and red see how many turn up then leave them there to their club, move on fresh and start again Honestly feel that's all there is left to do and its SDFC totally. The only difference between some of us and those that still go is that those that still go need it spelled out for them and slapped across their face with all the allegory and sub-text left aside and it being too late to stop - to finally get it, and see what is really going on. The only reason its up for sale, yet so obviously not actually for sale, is to keep some hope. The only investment I've got left is seeing the back of him. If we knew he was going to be still here 12years ago how many would have bothered with any of it. Could have formed a new club and be challenging SDFC in that time. We've arrived at the point now where every person and every country that could buy or broker a takeover of NUFC and every newspaper, website or TV network has been used to leak info of it. That there'll be no more reportings of it and no more fakeovers. :thup: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I am just ignoring everything. I believe Fat Mike with one thing he said. If it happens, it will be out of the blue. Not all these drama and subplots we have being mentioned. WSJ said their piece and they've kept quiet ever since. They'll be the only I might believe if any news follows.

ianovthetoon Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 If it’s gonna happen it’ll happen before the end of the season, but probably not until we are safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Fucking hell man it'll be Barry from eastenders next: Right, they are just taking the piss now. Some American model and Barry Hearn ffs Doesn’t this all fly in the face of the rumours that this has been going on for months though? It’s probably all just a pile of shite. The talks will be with Kenyon, and it's taking months because he's still scraping his pennies together to buy a 51% holding in Sports Direct FC.

Chris_R Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 How many people does it take to buy a footballclub? I believe it's directly proportional to the cuntiness of the present owner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Well Staveley set up the consortium, the Saudi’s and Rueben's are part of it. Carla will possibly be helping with things like possible commercial deals with US companies. So she’d possibly be asking about shirt manufacturers over there, shirt sponsors, and possible pre-season tours etc. That is alongside just advising the Saudi’s on how sport works in the western world. As for Hearn, I don’t believe it. The story contradicts everything we know about the bid, and the Hearn’s love PR, and themselves. The Mail are hardly a reputable publication either.

SweMag Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Carla DiBello is clearly involved somehow or has been involved. Maybe a contact for the Saudi side or something. She’s also a friend of Jamie Reuben, Mohammed bin Salman and Amanda Staveley’s husband. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Can we not lock this thread? It's the same s***, every few months. Or just don’t come and read it? I love reading it. Even though it’s going to end up as nothing as it always does. These shite takeover stories are the only remotely interesting thing about this club. Where the fuck would we be without flight radar updates? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I’ve had my first proper read on this thread and this forum for the first time in some months, I only usually have time to briefly pop in and out nowadays and the club aren’t really making me want to be too involved. Anyway I’m stunned with what’s happened to the football section. Of any regular posters within this section still left, only Ian W has retained his sanity.

toontownman Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 It is all just a vehicle for an overly elaborate murder mystery weekend and Ashley is going to bring everyone together at a secluded mansion. He will make Charnley the butler but by the time everyone has arrived Mike will realise he can't actually be arsed and no-show instead. Like the shittest ever remake of Murder by Death.

Toon No9 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 If it’s gonna happen it’ll happen before the end of the season, but probably not until we are safe. This actually! No point to buy the club before we're safe. Looking at our schedule in februari and mars it is a really good chance that we can be safe at the end of mars. Then the takeover could be completed in april. That will give the new owners much time to prepare for the preseason, have a new manager and the whole transfer window to get new players in.

loki679 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Was listening to a podcast last night and the bloke reckoned Ashley was waiting for us to win the FA cup this season before he'll sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
