SUPERTOON Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I'm losing confidence in this. Why ? None of these letters are bringing anything new up, it’s not like some revelation that the premier league or the possible owners themselves has come up. They will have answers for all of this.

Newcastle Fan Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 All the people writing the letters are connected to Qatar one way or another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Puppets Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 To be honest, if the PL did deny the deal, you couldn't really blame them. It couldn't be further from a black-and-white decision. The letter makes a lot of valid points to be fair, and there'll be many people who'll feel that way too. I dunno how I'd feel if it was all called off... partly disappointed, partly relieved I think. Conflicted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 As I’ve said earlier, surely all these issues where the first thing investigated at the beginning of these checks and any issues we would have heard by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Why has it taken 3 weeks of knowing this for the letters to start flowing in, it’s like the first letter appeared then every f***er and their dog have jumped on the bandwagon and joined in.

Tiresias Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 The checks are basically has the owner been convicted of criminal offences, it is not a moral judgement on the owner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conflicted. If football was perfect, these deals should not be allowed etc. However, I see no way it should be stopped because football and especially the PL have sold everything for money. I'd be disappointed if it didn't go through just from a pure NUFC perspective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Surely these organisations aren't labouring under the impression that the PL have total discretion on this matter? Perhaps it's simply a case that they are looking to ramp up as much pressure as possible to give PIF the impression that this will become a reverse-sportswashing and will bring abuses under much greater international scrutiny and influence them to withdraw the bid? a lot of it is probably mostly to make a point of objecting like amnesty etc the only one thats probably in half way serious in trying to put pressure on the prem is bein sports Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Puppets Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 The checks are basically has the owner been convicted of criminal offences, it is not a moral judgement on the owner. But it 100% will come into their decision making whether having them involved in the premier league is a good or bad thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Probably wild conjecture but could it be Qatar putting pressure on them through this? More fucking paper work in the form of letters sent to the PL than actual documents from PIF and Staveley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of these letters are bringing anything new up, it’s not like some revelation that the premier league or the possible owners themselves has come up. They will have answers for all of this. Because the more people against it the more pressure it puts on the PL to sanction the takeover. You have to remember they probably don't give a toss if we get taken over, we've all got NUFC hats on desperate for it to go through so we're obviously going to play a lot of this down.

Nah, the PL will be desperate for an injection of money into the league as incomes are going to take a big hit from the economic consequences of the pandemic.

Jackie Broon Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Another letter Roman’s mate probably. Kasparov is a vocal critic of Putin, so probably not. I'm as excited as anyone at the prospect of my club being rich beyond my wildest dreams, and I'm willing to turn a blind eye to that fact that the money will be coming from a terrible, murderous regime, but let's not kid ourselves that the House of Saud is anything other that a terrible, murderous regime. Let's not be cunts about this, these people are not attacking Newcastle United, they have no interest in Newcastle United. They are attacking a terrible murderous, regime and rightly so!

geordiedean Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I'm more and more convinced that there's not a hope in hell this goes through.

Conflicted. They need to stick to what's in the fit and proper persons test. If the new owners don't comply with anything that's within that test; then they need definitive proof why they don't, or face a massive and costly legal lawsuit. So really it is a black and white decision based on what is included within the test. If they have that proof that the new owners do not comply with articles set within the test, then they takeover will be off. If they don't then the takeover will go through.
