TRon Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 People who say just because of COVID 19 that nobody will buy anything in Corp M&A have literally no idea what they are talking about. Opportunistic investing has happened forever. Big Mike is the type who buys opportunistically, he's not one for being on the losing end. If there's one thing that would make me think this deal won't go through, it's if the buyers try to put in a lower bid. Assuming there is actually a deal still on the table of course, I only know what I read here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Values 1 month ago and plus are no longer applicable anymore. It’s that way across the entire globe in terms of any businesses. 10-40% discounts depending on type of business. It’s correlative to public markets and currency values. But we know big Mike thinks he’s a genius. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I mean, he got burnt on his shit practices and then there was a fakeover as a distraction, right? That's pretty much all this was? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 So yet another false dawn! We dont learn no matter how many times we get burnt do we? Who exactly, thought that a takeover was going to happen like? Absolutely ridiculous if anyone thought there was anything going to come of it. George Caulkin or not. Well there’s me “return of the messiah 111” tattoo gone to shit.

Scoot Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Even if an agreement does happen, journalists aren't going to hear about it. The agreement will happen and then the directors test (or whatever it's called) will happen and no one will know, as apparently it's very hush hush at that point. The next we'll hear is confirmation of a deal or Ashley accusing them of wasting his time. We all know what happens next don't we.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 This is going to turn into a staring contest isn't it? I know they have the money but rich people don't get/stay rich by paying over the odds. Ashley will want to come out looking the winner but how much of a beating does SD have to take before that becomes second to him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley will want to come out looking the winner but how much of a beating does SD have to take before that becomes second to him? Ashley is just a massive twat, and tbf, in Caulkin's article, he did say that you can never legislate for Mike Ashley's sheer cuntishness. Well Caulkin didn't put it in those words, but that was the gist of it. Really though, if the Saudi interest is still there, then you would imagine it must be pretty far along the line. Who else is going to buy a football club in the current climate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Allegri as manager and Icardi as 1st signing once takeover is complete according to Fabio Santini an Italian journalist I know this is bollocks, but there is literally not a player around that is set up to be a hero at newcastle than Icardi imo Isn't he a proper arsehole?
