Menace Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Why do people assume the Prem is run by 3 people ffs. They sign billion pound deals year in year out, they obviously have the staff to do more than 1 task at a time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true, but you'd also imagine the main players will still have to sign off on both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you're if you think anyone except Toon fans (and mackems) think our takeover is a bigger priority than restarting the league? EDIT: That is to say, if you think anyone thinks completing the takeover is in any way a priority before the league restarts. Poor wording... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I get the feeling we won't get a decision until this season is over. Just gut instinct, not pretending to be ITK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You maybe right as nobody knows and if this was the case, then I would say that the takeover won't happen. My gut reaction (fwiw), is that if this hasn't been bottomed out by next week then in my thinking there are obviously serious problems. It would also certainly leave questions on the 'trusted reporters' and what they have been reporting. I'm still positive we will hear next week, time will tell though.

It really has gone on so long now hasn’t it. Given that a premier league start date has been organised you’d have to think that an announcement should come soon enough. I agree if it goes past next week and we haven’t anything I’d start to worry properly (I’m already worrying a bit like most) but nobody really knows what’s going on. As Caulking has said it’s a process that will take as long as it needs to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Personally were I in charge of the premier league I wouldn't be giving the slightest shit about any clubs potential takeover not when theres this season to finish but starting next seasons as well, huge amount of money on the line if something goes wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have been working through the process since the documents were submitted (and the sources of the media (ones trusted on here) are stating there have been no red flags); then I can't see why it should not be finalised within the very near future, especially now Project Restart has been agreed.

mouldy_uk Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 God the wait is really frustrating, surely an indication as to when a decision may be provided isn't too much to be asked for, even if its very cautious I know its not always that simple.

They're a large organisation who should be able to manage issues across it in parallel imho. Also, I'd presume they have third party lawyers on retainer etc for exactly this scenario.

Whitley mag Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 For some reason I couldn’t see them making Liverpool and Man U wait this long. There would be lobbying going on left, right and centre to get it done. They need to get there fu#%ing finger out, they’re starting to look small time at best, and incompetent at worst. This is a multi billion pound industry I can’t believe there aloud to drag there feet on a 300 million pound deal. Not only that the club is in limbo re players contracts, sponsorship and season ticket refunds. If this is not sorted by next week serious questions need asked, and the pressure ramped up.

If the buyers are aware of the timeline why wouldn't they say, could there be a mandatory stipulation in the process that they can't say anything (genuinely interested)?
