Dr Jinx Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I think we should lock this thread. Start a new one with a summary of what’s happened and only allow posts in the new one once something significant happens. 🤷🏻♂️ Where's the fun in that? With the greatest respect, where’s the fun in this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC_Chris Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 The whole process has been draining, especially as it isn't the first time we've been left in limbo. We had exactly the same last summer, waiting on a supposed BZG takeover and simultaneously waiting on Rafa signing a new contract, which dragged on for months and months. There's been more than sufficient time for a decision to be made, and the longer it drags on the more opportunity it allows for people to try and tear it down. It needs a decision one way or another soon. I'm most definitely fucked off with it all, and being continuously left dangling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 NUFC.com would never have posted that update without being well and truly tipped off by an absolutely immaculate source! There has definitely been a spanner thrown into the works this week but hopefully that spanner is quickly burnt to the ground and this gets announced ASAP! I've never met Niall but Biffa is a brilliant fella! Probably Staveley then...she has a habit of tipping people off with things that don't happen sadly.

My Silent Face Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 The whole process has been draining, especially as it isn't the first time we've been left in limbo.

It needs a decision one way or another soon. I'm most definitely f***ed off with it all, and being continuously left dangling. Yeah I feel the same. It's coming up 6 weeks on Tuesday for a decision isn't it which is utterly ridiculous. I said a few days ago this will still somehow be ongoing in June as well. Last year we were hoping for a takeover and Rafa and we ended up with neither. I have a bad feeling we are going to be similarly dissapointed next month too and made all the worse of how long it's dragged on and the fact that it's all been all over the media about "Newcastles owners are going to do this" and Coutinho Koubially etc linked It would look ridiculous if we were left with Ashley after all that and I think it would end a lot of people's interest in NUFC again as well. Also if in 12 months time it's breaking on sky sports news about Ashley leaving and the club about to be sold imminently how are we ever to take it seriously again!?

Kanji Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 This was much easier when there was no talk of this and we just cursed Ashley to hell. Simpler times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 How is it utterly ridiculous? These things take months, that's when we're not balls deep into a global pandemic where the football season has had to be stopped. We wouldn't even be aware of it if it wasn't for some folk nosing around Companies House. I don't know if it's the boredom of lockdown, but people's impatience is what's ridiculous here. I get that it's draining waiting for news, but we'll know one way or another in the coming weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandy Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 If this one falls through then the takeover that actually happens at whatever date in the future will be exactly like Ashley said...ie come from nowhere and announced as done. The thing is though nobody will give a shit by then anyway as hoardes will have walked away from NUFC for good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 6 weeks isn't 'utterly ridiculous'. Southampton's takeover went to the PL in Feb 2017 and wasn't approved until August 2017. It might get approved, it might not but let's not pretend we know anything about the process or timescales involved. We know absolutely fuck all lads.

OpenC Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Even if they had named the day and hour that they thought it would be done, it should be self evident to everybody with an interest in this that it's not up to the buyers or the press how long it takes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 It would be nice if Caulkin came on down to reassure us. It would also be nice if people actually listened to him instead of asking him daily for updates. He has said it’s a 2 way process. He has said the buyers remain confident. He has said there is serious doubt about the claims in the press would hinder the takeover. He’s a journalist. He won’t have anymore information to give. If something has happened since he last spoke then that means he has no information, either that nothing has happened, or Staveley hasn’t passed any information on to him. He’s not going to sit on information about if the deal has passed or been rejected and only remember to tell everyone once people on Twitter ask him.
