Kimbo Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 My gut feeling is that certain clubs are putting a lot of pressure on the premier league, and the premier league may be looking for excuses to prevent the takeover and keep those clubs on-side. They have to be wary of pissing them all off. We don't really know wtf is happening though and I'm a pessimist when it comes to football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 We still don't even know Ashley can't pull out. Staveley has said he can't, but that's not proof. We're a long way from being sold still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really is no understating how mental it would be for the PL to knock back investment from a sovereign wealth fund at this point in time like. My feeling is the delay, if it even is a delay, will be them covering their arses and helping the buyers find a way to get it through clean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Are the people in here who still are 100% confident this will pass, genuinely not at all concerned that this could be rejected? Well I was never 100% confident, but I am still fairly confident. Although I'd be lying if I said the concerns weren't growing. I don't think the FA will be overly concerned about Amnesty and the like, but there will be a concern in football circles about Newcastle suddenly being worth much more than any other club.

David Icke - Son of God Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 We still don't even know Ashley can't pull out. Staveley has said he can't, but that's not proof. We're a long way from being sold still. If a deposit has been paid and contracts signed, which they have to have been for the PL to start tests, then he can't.

bhoywhonder Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 This time it's Chris_R and the rest of the forum This is a very apposite gif. We all need that second slap right now. Comedy fact: Leslie Nielsen was told by the director Jerry Abrahams to not even try to play his characters 'funny', but to always be as straight as possible. This is probably why his parts in Airplane/Police Squad/Naked Gun work so well. Anyway, back to panic mode Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I would just worry about the PL approval for now, that's more than enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not, but then that 'concern' will mean they will look at all other objections a bit more carefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Pundit Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 And when the big clubs in the Prem and throughout Europe start threatening to form a super league again they'll get their own way? Nothing to do with any other reason than they're all scared of being at a disadvantage to a club with more money than them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I've checked in and been assured that I was not on the end of a wind up re Barclays being notified on a change of owner.

Just got to keep 2 metres apart whilst we circle the ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
