TooonDoom Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 This makes me nervous for some reason. Everything makes me nervous I guess😣 it just feels like preparing if it does fall through. “It was not my fault”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Caulkin: Where do things stand? The Athletic has been told that all necessary documents have been exchanged between the two parties and that a deposit has been paid, with the Premier League now working through the owners’ and directors’ test, which effectively represents regulatory approval. Once that has been granted — it began around April 9 and they have been told it could take up to four weeks — completion of a £300 million sale becomes automatic. “There’s no stopping it now,” says one source, who insists that the owners’ and directors’ test has not yet raised any red flags.

Scoot Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I think this 17 million thing points to Ashley not being able to pull out. There's no way Staveley would allow him to take 17 million if the deal falls through if Ashley had the option to pull the plug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 There is a list in the new article from the athletic of what the new owners want to do once they have been confirmed as owners if anyone has full access and is willing to paste in here?

Dr.Spaceman Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Not copy / pasting the entire article as I don't like people doing that, but I'll list the points... A mission statement Newcastle’s non-playing staff would be taken off the government’s furlough scheme Lee Charnley, the managing director, will be asked to remain in his post for the time being, to coordinate the handover Steve Bruce would stay in charge of the first team. Informal overtures have already been made to some supporters, former players and other key figures in the city. Staveley did this last time. A gesture in support of the local NHS hospital is being considered A root and branch reform of Newcastle’s operation will take place. They have already received contact from player agents. Remote meetings are being held regularly. This a long-term investment and there is an understanding that Newcastle will not be able to go toe-to-toe with Liverpool and Manchester City from the outset.

SUPERTOON Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I’ve just read the article it kind of reads as if Ashley had given them a deadline of May before all of this happened as in till may to show they were genuinely wanting to do a deal.

[move][glow=red,2,300][/glow][/move] From what I made of that bit, they're thinking about the immediate future, more likely waiting until the season has ended before they look to what is available.
