Vinny Green Balls Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 That takeover ship has sailed. Ain’t happening. Part of me doubts they ever had the money. Agreed a price yes. “It’ll cost 350m” - oh yeah, no problem! Ashley sees the opportunity. A smokescreen for the summer and a patsy to blame things on as they start going wrong as the season starts and transfer window closes. He didn’t even have to utter a word himself. Just leak the agreement to the sun via Bishop and watch us all lose our minds. I have to hand it to him. Quite a brilliant strategy. Didn’t quite last long enough. He now has the angry mob to deal with. and there is no way that this albatross will be worth near 350 million again after January Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Totally agree with the above. Ashley is thick as fucking mince if he thinks the club is going to be anywhere near worth the price ‘supposed’ buyers are willing to pay now once we’re in the lower half of the table come January.

LionOfGosforth Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 <b>Bruce can't win me over with results because I hope we lose every match.</b> Whole thing needs to burn down so Ashley leaves. Last thing I want is Bruce to keep us clear of relegation. You'll be won over in no time then Well yes, there is that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle will be lucky to reach the lofty heights of 18th come January let alone the bottom half, given the schedule start, the toxic cloud, and losing 23 of our 42 goals.

r0cafella Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 He doesn't want to sell, the club is serving the purpose for which he bought it for perfectly. His only job is to string us along to keep the club afloat for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Green Balls Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 The fat fuck is banking on promotion at the first time of asking. Let's see what happens if the club languishes in the lower leagues. Not a particularly useful platform for his shitty brand at that point when decent tv exposure only comes with an odd playoff game or drawing Leicester City in the 3rd round of the FA Cup on a freakish mini cup run..

ToonArmy1892 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 It really feels like the club is dead now, any sliver of hope of the takeover gone. We were on life support and the appointment of Steve f***ing Bruce is it being turned off. f*** me, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandamninator Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Would never happen, but I would love nothing more than a journalist to ask Bruce during his introductory press conference how he feels about being offered the job after 5 other managers allegedly turned it down first.

It was similar with all the others before them. I dont get what you get out of what was described as ploys to get their names out there and some publicity. Not when it makes you look like incompetent businessmen/women. Again.. when its multiple takeover stories that end the same there is one common factor.

As if there will be one actual comment asked by a proper journalist they will all lick Bruce's arse and be fully onside. Will be lots of "up for the challenge" "know what football means to this area" "means so much to me" "I fully believe in myself" "will do everything to get it right" "club has everything to thrive" Get the Brucee bingo going. Someone on Twitter apparently already has. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on life support and the appointment of Steve f***ing Bruce is it being turned off. f*** me, man. More like: we were on life support for almost a decade and then a buxom Spanish nurse walks in and gives us sponge baths for 3 straight years, telling us how we’re gonna be just fine, make a full recovery, and become celebrities in a few years. Then the nurse is sacked off and we come crashing back to reality, except it’s no longer just that we’re indeed on life support with no way back, but the buxom Spanish nurse has been replaced by Steve fucking Bruce in a nurse outfit.

jack j Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Well black friday it is The day we realise there is no takeover. And we are stuck with Ashley for a long time yet.

It's mental that people think the buyers are the problem like. It's been the same story every time and people still buy it. Just what ashley wants, and the fact these people believe it was 'no funds' or 'tyre kickers' rather that 'ashley moves goalposts and wants to keep his grip on the club' means he can do it all again.

Owned by a billionaire with nee money. Subject to countless failed bids by billionaires and consortiums who also have nee money. Mike won't sell to anyone unless they have NUFC's best interests at heart whilst he proceeds to bareback us for 12 years. And now a human cabbage is our manager. If it wasn't for bad luck we'd have none at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon No9 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Who want's to buy the club now after all this? The clubs reputation must have taken a real hit and the value must have dropt alot after this schambles! No Rafa, no Perez, no Rondon, Bruce(if he takes the job) on a contract. There's alot of things that makes the value drop. But then again, Ashley will put a higher price on the club for a future interessted buyer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE27 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I hope people take to the training ground when he's getting the whistle stop tours of the inflatables and ice wheelie bins. Not to go at Bruce per se, but to protest the complete dereliction of duty by the heirarchy at NUFC. Does everyone feel the same? Like sacking Rafa and appointing Bruce is typical Ashley, but still actually gobsmacked Steve bruce is replacing Rafa? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
