TRon Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Out of interest, why do people associate the length of time this has taken with the likelihood of rejection? More time for some new objections to be raised, or a spanner to be thrown into the works from left field. In reality no one really knows why it's dragged on longer than expected, we are all just guessing really. Most of the reliable sources seem to think it's going through.

Wandy Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 One year to the day that last year's bullshit takeover farce kicked off. https://www.newcastle-online.org/forum/index.php?topic=99882.msg6996473#msg6996473 I feel sorry for all of us once again just reading the excitement of the first 24 hours compared to what eventually transpired.

In reality no one really knows why it's dragged on longer than expected, we are all just guessing really. Most of the reliable sources seem to think it's going through. I think it is the natural pessimism to a large degree, if the FA were to reject it then there has to be a pretty robust legal defence of that position which would take a while. Personally I doubt they have either the legal expertise nor the appetite to refuse it. The Saudi/Staveley legal team would be pretty formidable I suspect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 So the question next could be : Is it done by email or in print form and sent by courier? If its courier, is it to a UK address or a Saudi Arabia address? If it's in print format, do the buyers have to sign and return something? These are little formalities but this alone shows how a week or more can be lost, just in the transferal of documents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest godzilla Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Talksport + Luke Edwards What a partnership I think his tweets last week pretty much told us that he has no contact with the buyers at all; only with NUFC. The bloke is an absolute fraud as a journalist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The premier league also has the meetings today and tomorrow over the restart again and over allowing contact training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Out of interest, why do people associate the length of time this has taken with the likelihood of rejection? Element of risk and the fact that we're gaining nothing by the process taking longer. I think it's daft to go on the way some are going on though, how do you become bored of something you are completely disconnected from and have zero control over?

I think it's daft to go on the way some are going on though, how do you become bored of something you are completely disconnected from and have zero control over? First time I've been in to check on this for a week, I'll come back when it happens, can't be bothered with the overall negative vibe. It's clearly going to happen, there's no grounds to stop it, we're in the middle of an epidemic, it takes as long as it takes. Trying to impose some asinine time limit on it is futile and does nothing for your stress levels, take a step back and do something else with your time, too many obsessives in here.

Guest Gazibaldi Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I honestly cannot fathom how this sort of work can take this long to get through. They must be working through a page of documentation a day. Its paper work, emails and phone calls. If they don't have the resources to give the time it needs due to 'project restart', they should have hired a private firm to work it. I'm in the wrong racket. I'd get less time than this to design, implement and deploy something that automated this whole thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And your surprised its taking a while? And ultimately its a secondary priority for the league right now because once again the largest Pandemic in 100 years they have more important things to do right now and whether or not some rich saudis take over a club can wait Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is highly complex if you are trained and experienced in it. It's a purchase of a football club, not brain surgery. Like I said, if they don't have enough resources to handle this at the moment, you hire someone who does. There will be decent legal firms out there who would love to work on something like this. If they have the capacity to inject as much new capital into the game as is proposed they can't afford to let this just crawl along because 'pandemic'. Real big business doesn't stop because of this virus. I stand by what I say. It shouldn't take this long. Now that doesn't mean I think it's gonna fail or anything. I just think the PL are getting shown up as incompetent fools. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saudi/Staveley legal team would be pretty formidable I suspect From all the noises we are hearing from those supposedly close to the buying side, the questions have all been answered, they are just waiting for an official sign off now. So my guess would be the PL are just poking around to see if there are any other loopholes they can examine to delay a decision which will no doubt raise a lot of negative press. I think it's going through, the PL are just dragging their feet to delay the inevitable backlash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
