Away Toon Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Can't argue with most of what they say in the letter, the Saudi's are pretty despicable however much we all want a new owner. Fortunately all Boris and Co are interested in is making money via dodgy arms deals so I doubt this will make any difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I wish those pesky MPs had something else to do, it's been a very quiet few months what with the global pandemic and the entire economy going to shit that will take a generation to sort. The Qatari shilling buys you a lot it seems Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyCisse Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 So who are these MPs? I mean we keep hearing this kind of thing, several times there have been reports of letters from various numbers of MPs. But I haven't seen any specific names mentioned. Anyone know who they are? Edit: Ah so the article actually names them this time. Back handed envelope MPs sent from Qatar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SNP one (Nicholson) and probably most vocal out of all of them has had several dealings with Qatar, as has his party, which should tell you everything. So have a couple of the others also.

TheGuv Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 On Radio Newcastle about an hour ago (after the Donald interview), they said that a club insider had told them it was going to be announced tomorrow. Did anyone else hear that? I’ve seen nothing at all on twitter or anything to confirm that?! Were my ears playing tricks on me? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 From Bloomberg... U.S. Media Boss Preps Charm Offensive for Newcastle United Bid By David Hellier July 16, 2020, 2:16 PM EDT American businessman Henry Mauriss is preparing a charm offensive in the U.K. as he pushes ahead with his rival offer for Newcastle United Football Club, according to people familiar with the matter. Mauriss is discussing hiring a public relations adviser to help sell the merits of his proposal to acquire the soccer team, the people said, asking not to be identified as discussions are private. He’s seeking to raise the profile of his bid with Premier League officials and Newcastle United supporters, according to one of the people. The U.S. investor, who is chief executive officer of media group ClearTV, isn’t a well-known figure in Britain. He has already met Newcastle United’s billionaire owner Mike Ashley to discuss his bid, the people said. Mauriss is prepared to offer 350 million pounds ($441 million) for the team, according to one person. That would top the 300 million-pound proposal from a consortium of investors led by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, which Ashley accepted earlier this year. While Newcastle United fans have been supportive of the Saudi bid, hopeful that it will provide the surest way to inject funds into the club, there’s no certainty that deal will go through. The Premier League, which has the final say on takeovers of the U.K.’s top teams, has spent months deliberating the suitability of the proposed new owners. Mauriss didn’t answer calls seeking comment. Representatives for Ashley did not respond to requests for comment by phone and text message. A representative for the Saudi-led consortium declined to comment. Newcastle is one of the U.K.’s best-supported teams, regularly drawing crowds of more than 50,000 to its stadium in northeast England. Ashley has proven a divisive figure for its supporters during his 13 years in charge. Angered by perceived mismanagement, fans staged boycotts and protests at home games prior to the coronavirus lockdown and will expect any new owners to invest in players to make the club more competitive. Newcastle has not won a major trophy for more than 50 years. The consortium led by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund also includes British businesswoman Amanda Staveley and billionaire brothers David and Simon Reuben.

Judge Holden Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Keys is right. Tomorrow it is. There's no other reason for the last ditch efforts from the Qataris. Also ties in nicely with what gorilla inboxed me. Cans of Heineken being stocked up as we speak. What's the forecast for tomorrow? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
