ExiledGeordie Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Pod on the tube podcast with Caulkin talking to Matt Slater shows why this is so complex. It didn’t nullify my frustration but at least gave more insight into the length of time it’s taking. PL clearly wanting the investment but can’t piss off others at the same time. They’ll know a jumping St James on sky at 4pm on a Sunday is massive for the Prem league and it’ll be pretty embarrassing for the gov’t if they reject it. Let’s hope it goes through soon anyway.

jackyboy Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I don't think that this will happen now, been too long and more stories in the press today about Saudis human rights abuses Be just like the thing if this takeover is blocked, no fault of Ashley and he gets a big compensation payout.

relámpago blanco Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I wonder if this will just fizzle out and we'll never hear anything definitive. I am very positive it will go through as I can see no reason it wouldn't but now whilst I know it's 99.99% going to happen I kind of can't imagine it going through which makes no sense but that's what I think.

Dokko Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I see Cengiz got to talk about us on GMB this morning. I’ve not seen it all but seen the reaction to it. She basically said he was nice, nowt else on him then full on why NUFC shouldn’t be taken over. Twitter in a right mess over it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 The PL know what they want to do, but something is preventing them. There is not one single person objecting to them rejecting the takeover, so it can only be those objecting to it's acceptance that are delaying the process. This suggests that the PL will okay the deal, when it's okay to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie1892 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 From .com on this day section - 2009 2009 Meanwhile, press reports speculated that a rerun of the club's "player power" episode of the 1970s was on the cards as a discontented squad continued pre-season training at Carton House near Dublin. Captain Nicky Butt was quoted as saying: "We’ve got to get a manager on board – we don’t even know who to speak to any more. "Alan Shearer is the favourite with a lot of the people trying to buy the club – at least that’s what we hear – but until something happens we don’t know who is in charge. "The players are completely fed up and when that happens some will try to go somewhere more stable. "It’s so frustrating – a (takeover) deal is always happening in a week’s time but this has been going on since last season. It’s like a scratched record going over and over. It’s getting on everyone’s nerves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Yeah, GMB/ Morgan basically used that platform to condemn the takeover. No talk of Govt/ trade deals being affected or any naming of names, despite Piers egging her on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I see Cengiz got to talk about us on GMB this morning. It was a very peculiar interview. She didn't seem to want to interact when discussing her ex fiancé on a more personal level, and even struggled to answer questions about him, but when the subject of the NUFC takeover came up she suddenly seemed to come alive. It was pretty bizarre to watch. Almost as if she'd been prepped for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I've seen people suggest she almost seemed too prepared for the Newcastle section, as if it were script prepared for her. She apperantly wouldn't say who she thought ordered the killing, but was adamant it should be blocked. And also that we want it blocked apperantly.

Armchair Pundit Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I love where she said that if NUFC fans think being owned by Mike Ashley is a bad dream, being owned by the Crown Prince will be like a nightmare - literally no basis for that statement what-so-ever other, there's no comparison between owning a sport's club and allegedly ordering the killing of her short-term partner. It's just more propaganda and stirring backed by the Qataris, hard to feel as sympathetic for her the more it gets pushed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost as if English was her second language, and she's been shoved on a trash talk show having only been briefed in any real detail about interests which are relevant to UK/Nufc. Surely she must realise she's being used as a pawn in a big political chess game by now.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
