mickthemagpie Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Gary Monk favourite to replace Rafa? Proper Pfm there. 52000 in SJP will be lovin' that. It wasn't even full last season man. Give it a fucking rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 If the takeover is "in the bag" then why would Mike Ashley care if Rafa Benitez signs a contract or not? it's not really his problem any more is it? Why would he even offer a transfer budget at all? He doesn't care a great deal about the club, whether or not he is trying to sell the club.. his cronies are out in force trying to wind fans up to the max. If Mike Ashley leaves the club he wont do it easily.. he is a vindictive bastard. Why would he inflate the prices of our shirts? Why would he increase ticket prices? Bring in Shola? Redfern? Maybe Odin knows? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s cheeky as fuck to charge that for a shit design top but that’s life. It’s 5p more expensive than the next 3 most expensive in the league. And then just a few pounds for most of the rest. I don’t see the big deal in moaning about something you won’t buy. The seasons tickets would piss me off more. But those decisions were made ages ago. Absolutely no relevance to the takeover.

Guest chopey Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 It's looking more and more likely Ashley will still be here come August and Rafa won't be, I think Hughton will be manager to pacify the fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well exactly. I’m not making any comment on whether I think a takeover is on or not, but do you think everything stopped at HoF when Ashley took over? Or Asda stopped selling bananas when Sainsbury’s were looking to take over? Of course not. New product lines continued, tills were ringing, shops opening, staff hired etc. It’s business as usual until anything is confirmed (or collapses).

Decky Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 If we make it until the first day of the season and this still hasnt happened Ashley has played a blinder. No matter how genuine all this is in that scenario it'll be another transfer window wasted because of a potential takeover. Ridiculous. Watch it disappear and come back again in January.

Shearergol Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 The only thing that’s changed since Monochrome Acquisitions Ltd was created is time. What the hell is everyone flapping for? I think Rafa's contract and the close proximity to the start of pre-season (no clear management team, planned transfer targets etc) are the cause of concern.

nufcjb Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I still dont understand. If everything was fake why did BZG say they are buying us in the first place? I believe they do want to buy us.

Guest Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I was just driving the car and listening to Absolute Classic Rock "Are You Gonna Go My Way" was playing. Now, I don't know if you know this (but I know this), it is a well known fact that Rafa loves a bit of Absolute Classic Rock, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that this song was playing today of all days. This is a clear message. Take that for what it's worth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine takeover attempt (not an MA/KB masterplan), fat mike to pull the rug at some point. Basically it. I still genuinely think there's a strong chance this has been engineered, I don't know the BZG or anyone from it, and I'd rather go with my gut when thinking about what MA and KB would be willing to do. I wholeheartedly agree that takeover rumor or not, the end result in terms of the financial outlay/investment in the club is the same regardless. However, this is Mike Ashley, a man seemingly hell-bent on deliberately misleading and downright antaognising the fan base. With cronies in Sky Sports to peddle whatever plan of the day he wants to peddle. I think he's had it in us for a long time, remember that letter he wrote to the fans about not being able to bring his family because he didn't feel safe at the ground? The guy is willing to bet huge sums on a whim in casinos, what's a hypothetical 5-10m kicker to a previously unknown figurehead Arabian investment company to him to further annoy us even more. It seems to be pretty much his mission in life to antagonise and do whatever he can to the club to 'get back' at the people of Newcastle. Would be ecstatic to be proved wrong, but 10+ years of experience of having takeover after takeover fail when he's 'trying' to sell the club has me pretty much entrenched in not believing a single word written about, let alone from the club. Until I see a press conference at SJP with someone saying they are the owners of the club, I won't believe in literally anything. So whilst I do consider myself sensible, I just have a different viewpoint based on my own values. I woudn't label people who disagree with your point of view as 'unsensible' by inference, forums are for debate and discourse FWIW, I think you're one of the more sensible posters on here.

Exactly, it is a genuine attempt by 1 or more parties but then Ashley will change the parameters and label them all as time wasters.

nufc4eva Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 We should all remember this fact : He does not want to sell ... He makes too much money from it to want to sell and it's a great advertising vehicle for next to nothing. The club value will keep going up as long as in the league / bounce back and the fans will most likely put up with it all. He will sell eventually but wouldn't even trust him to put us in the hands of a decent owner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
