r0cafella Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 If FFP is relaxed over the next couple of years I wonder if they’ll try to abuse it and go crazy next year? Hopefully they get rid of it all together. The implementation is ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I don’t get it when the likes of Mark Douglas are there saying ‘we need a statement’, etc. Will either party even be allowed to do that while we’re at this stage? Plenty of clubs announce it at this stage. Yep. "Pending PL approval.." Guess they'd have to be pretty confident to do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouldy_uk Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Chances they fail the test ? I would think they wouldn’t have went this far if there was any chance of it happening. I guess the question is whether anyone has ever failed the test before? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BennyBlanco Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 According to George Caulkin - his understanding is Staveley will effectively be running the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Probably missed the discussion on this already. But what are people’s thoughts on being owned by a bunch of reprehensible scumbags, who make Mike Ashley seem fairly decent in comparison? I’m caught in two minds. Obviously happy that it looks like the fat twat is finally on his way out and I can enjoy football again. But been fairly critical of the Saudi regime in the past and have read plenty of horror stories about them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally don't think I'll be supporting us much, but won't blame anyone that will do that. Just hope it doesn't come to Newcastle fans trying to justify things that the regime do, like some Man City fans do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western governments bomb shepherds in the middle east for fun and introduce policies like ‘herd immunity’. Just use a bit of the old whataboutary and you should be able to convince yourself that this is ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK government is happy to deal with them and I’m sure we actually supplied them with £650m worth of weapons, so I honestly don’t feel concerned. I would take a consortium of Jack the Rippers corpse with Fred West to get rid of Ashley though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley is a deeply unpleasant person but he's an angel by comparison to this lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 This moral high horse is a hard one. There are atrocities happening all over the world and are ignored by our government and the rest of the modern world (look at China imprisoning millions of Muslims). So to ask football supporters to take a moral stance is a bit of a soft target. Start with the global leaders first eh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like right next door to them and honestly they're not half as bad as the media tries to portray them, what many people in the UK think of them is quite far from the reality.
