Dan Gleebals Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I don't think football matches at SJP has delayed this like. They're just not done with the negotiations with the Saudis yet over piracy. As soon as that's either concluded to the PL's satisfaction, or the Saudis say "No, we're not doing that", then we'll have a resolution. Until then, it'll drag on. Nor do I, just sick of this shit so that's a good a reason as any Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 How long can they really drag it on for? We're going to need it done for the transfer window unless we want to risk going down next season. Once the window opens there will be huge pressure on the PL to get this done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Back to answering questions, I mean they really are taking the p#ss. Why this was key in the NUFC takeover... NUFC editor Mark Douglas speaking on The Everything is Black and White Podcast had this to say on last night's episode about the takeover and calls for clarity. *** "What it reflects is a frustration that something didn't happen last week. "I said on last week's podcast, there was definitely a feeling within the group and even people around the club and others involved in this deal that there was going to be a decision. "There was massive confidence within the consortium that it would be done, they would get the approval, the money would start to transfer and the feeling was that this week they would be finally able to announce it and have all the media things they want to do. "The fact that nothing was said, and I believe they are back to dealing with answering questions on things, suggests there is a frustration there."

Shadow Puppets Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 You guys are actually hilarious, acting like you have any idea whatsoever about how delicate the whole situation and implications are for the PL. They are, of course, going to take however long they need to make it completely watertight. They don't owe us anything. They have intellectual property to protect, the well being of all of the PL clubs, and the image/standing of the league throughout the world to consider. I doubt they give two fucks, nor should they, about NUFC fans or Steve Bruce being impatient. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, we are members of the Premier League and should have been treated with RESPECT. It is too late now, for that. There would have been no reason for them not to communicate with us, once or twice, without them breaking ANY 'confidentiality'. Too late now, we know our place.

What we heard from him yesterday was likely at the instruction of the club to try to publicly hurry the PL. But of course he'll know as much as Charnley allows him to know.
