STM Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 It's not worth getting excited about stuff like that because we've been through it all before. Amanda Staveley could appear on TV in lingerie and with a flashing neon sign that says "I want to buy NUFC" but it all counts for nothing when Ashley will get drunk and pull the plug at the last minute. That's blatantly a fantasy of yours. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Someone needs to get Ashley drunk and get his signature/approval to sell the club then. A sane Ashley won't sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montey Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 This has gone weirdly very quiet. I think "weirdly very quiet" is better than if there was continuing leaks. (Assuming there is any truth to this thing happening) things were happening very quietly for up to 6 months before it was leaked - so hopefully things going very quiet again is because they're back working on getting the deal done. If things were noisy I think it would mean either the negotiations were ongoing, but now they're using the media as part of the negotiation process (this never helps commercial negotiations), or it would be to announce the deal was off or never happening. Hence, I think quiet is good/better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 This has gone weirdly very quiet. Aye but Jim White based on absolutely fuck all said on Tuesday it could be done with 72 hours. Have some faith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Five o Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 As much as I want this to happen I have been burned so many times by this shit. Until something happens I will (try) to stay calm.

nufcjb Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 And I thought fat Mike had 48 hours to make a decision which ended on Tuesday? One conclusion I have made, nee one knows anything. Be it NE journos or other national journos. None of them had a sniff of this before WSJ broke the story and then suddenly once it broke, everyone had their own Exclusives? Yeah right. Not believing any of their tweets or newspaper columns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 The quieter the better. The transfer deadline has nothing to do with the takeover. I suspect if he was thinking of selling it would have been in April or May (speculation). The leak coming out has put the spotlight on something that isn’t done yet. The only news agency that’s written it said anything that can be trusted to this point is the WSJ. The guy who wrote the article said they wouldn’t have published it if it wasn’t very likely to happen. Anyone mentioning timelines or anything else to do with it since is pure guess work/speculation. Those claiming to have sources at the club didn’t know jack before the WSJ wrote their piece. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Oh how I long for the days before the internet when the world wasn't ending if you didn't have an update every 5 minutes or need everyone to publicly announce their decisions. For all we know MA had a decision to make, he made it on Tuesday and the process is continuing between the 2 parties - as it should. It's either bollocks or we will know when its done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BennyBlanco Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 That professor bloke who’s usually fairly astute and fair - Simon Chadwick I think he’s called - has apparently done some digging in Saudi about this rumour. Come up sucking his thumb by all accounts, the chief response being “why would we buy Newcastle when we have the money to buy Man Utd?”. So that’s errrr, a bit shit really.
