Deuce Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Got to be some sick petty individuals who want to ruin the hopes and dreams of hundreds of thousands of people and leave us with Ashley after 13 years of him. All over something as inconsequential as this who? The Qataris? They don’t give a flying fuck about either the fans or Mike Ashley. It doesn’t even factor into their calculations.

SUPERTOON Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 If there is a direct link to piracy as is now suggested then this is done, they will not pass them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Some of the suicide comments on here because of one daft story lacking detail and depth. This mob oversaw the purchase of Man City. Are representing a super rich country. The legal team will have all this closed down. It’s happening. There are no showstoppers. The main delay issue has been Coronavirus, nothing else.

My Silent Face Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 The tests are against the owners are they not? PIF are a separate legal entity to Arabasat which is a pan Arabian organisation going by their wiki with SA being the largest shareholder (not owned by PIF) How can the alleged crimes of one separate legal entity be used against another separate legal entity? Edit: Just saw the solicitors tweet above. How on earth does any of that have anything to do with them being able to take over a football club anyway man. Just seems people are clutching at straws desperately not wanting us to have anything good. Spiteful people Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 How do other takeovers play out? I swear they just end up happening. Why is everything so fucking weird with Newcastle? Why can’t it be normal. Imagine if was rejected before being accepted (similar to Southampton). It'd be carnage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 The tests are against the owners are they not? PIF are a separate legal entity to Arabasat which is a pan Arabian organisation going by their wiki with SA being the largest shareholder (not owned by PIF) How can the alleged crimes of one separate legal entity be used against another separate legal entity? Yup. Again, the PL are not a court of law, they can't just overturn this in contradiction to a previous court ruling without evidence that they'd be absolutely certain would hold up this time in court, as that's where they would ultimately end up. Rejecting this on the basis of PIF being involved directly in piracy would be a massive and damaging allegation on their behalf, I really can't see them going down that route.

NUFC just happens to be the club in question. I can promise you that they don’t care either way about Newcastle fans or their happiness. They’re not maliciously trying to fuck us over.

Just all of a sudden come to light days before a takeover is due to go through. It will all have been a part of the french criminal investigation. I just don’t buy it. Plus, the two journalists saying it are STILL saying it’s expected to go through this week regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while no one here can say for certain the government was involved at some level they seemed to at least ignore its existence officially despite many protests against it including from the premier league itself. Throw in the fact SA has been leading a coalition of nations in the region currently (I think) having an economic war with Qatar and yeah I can see why they'd be irritated by this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 How do other takeovers play out? I swear they just end up happening. Why is everything so fucking weird with Newcastle? Why can’t it be normal. Because most takeovers are tin pot takeovers. This would make us by far and away the richest club in the world and BeIn Sports stand to be ruined when TV rights come up for bidding.

It’s a last minute scare story. Last throw of the dice. If you think it through logically... the buyers are still saying they’re confident, the PL definitely won’t be sharing info with journalists, so this story is coming from whoever is trying to derail it.
