Scoot Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 2 hours ago, Whitley mag said: "A chance the takeover happens" Win arbitration and it will happen. I can't see Ashley spending all this money on legal fees just for "a chance" that it might happen should he win the legal battles. Strange comment from Mark Douglas.

Jinky Jim Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Casting my mind back to the start of it all….It was an article in the NYT that first got my attention to the possible takeover…..Then i believe an article broke in the Sun re the takeover and of course we all said “yeah but it’s the Sun”….then not much later all hell broke loose when details appeared at Company House…Anyway I’m going to be very positive about the latest news.

I’ve barely posted in this thread recently, other than a post yesterday which wasn’t negative at all. Don’t let the truth get in the way of your dramatisation though. Same. First post on this thread in almost a fortnight I would guess. Very odd. Edit : i suppose i can start posting in this thread again if he'd rather be right than talking absolute bollocks?

HaydnNUFC Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) Was it not the Wall Street Journal that broke the first news of the takeover? Was back in January 2020, like. Remember reading it in a uni lecture around about the time of that grim 0-0 draw at home to Oxford in the FA Cup. People understandably just brushed off until the news from last April broke.

Obviously that means that the contracts are getting signed for the takeover this week. Or something stinks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will happen imho.... after some months without any real progress he will come out and say, "Ha ha, got you sucker... ". He is such a good troll that he's ready to loose money to paid lawyers just to troll NUFC fans. Ashley the biggest troll ever. I don't think anybody specifically said he was trolling fans. He's just as likely to troll the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandy Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 2 hours ago, Miggys First Goal said: It's interesting that this news about Ashley being super confident that the takeover will go ahead comes out in the same week that I heard that Bruce doesn't even know if he'll be coming back to Newcastle for the start of next season. Hmm... It's not that surprising tbh. Ashley will have told him the arbitration timetable and that if the club wins then there quickly may be new owners...who want a different manager. It's still all ifs and buts, and we have been here before ...no red flags etc ... so I would recommend we all stay very cautious..cynical even.

nbthree3 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I know it's easy to be caught up in the wave of optimism, but there's better use of people's times than claim ITK. If anything substantial happens then the journalists pick up on it like Jason Burt at the Telegraph or Keith at Sky. They rarely get involved in the process instead over weeks, over months, letting things develop before reporting, we don't need to know every little thing. When something happens, it'll happen.

nbthree3 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Club statements too, they're significant and the club also don't report every minor detail. The appeal on Beloff nobody knew about until the club made that public - we're in the dark just as much as these journalists often are. I like the optimism thread because you rarely get a place that's as isolated in its faith. But too much faith and you lose sight of reality, I think like NCSL have found themselves. There's a delicate balance that we need to go between! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re totally correct. Must say though that I was fully expecting a negative exclusive to be released in the Sunday morning papers to counteract the Sun story the other day. That was how it usually played out a year ago. Still think there probably will be mind in the next few days. I’m basically taking everything that comes out with a pinch of salt unless it comes from official press releases or is 100% verifiable. Last year was a total charade, which most of the fsn base (me included) got totally interacted in. Once bitten, twice shy and I will wait for the cases to be concluded and a definitive decision to be announced this time. Obviously won’t stop me keeping an eye on what’s being discussed (it’s the most important dilemma within the entire history of this club, with the absolute extremes involved with the takeover going ahead or not), just won’t take rumours and stories (either way) with any real credibility this time.
