The deluded world

”We have evidence of the EPL harbouring nazi war criminals”

 

NUFC Twitter:

”100% they did, knew it!”

RS, do you want a takeover or not?   Can you give a straight answer, yes or no?

Of course I do. No real supporter wouldn’t want to see the end of Ashley. 
I’d like facts though. Not bullshit from some narcissistic arsehole on Twitter or someone telling everyone soon, wait etc.

The Business Secretary Alok Sharma has still not granted the exclusion order to enable the PL to extend it's UK TV rights deal without tender, well over a month now since the consultation on that ended. So the government to currently have some potential leverage over the PL, if they want to use it.

Mark these words by hook or crook they will own this football club. 
 

 

‘Amanda Staveley says she will not give up on her bid to buy Newcastle United from Mike Ashley.

 

The Ripon financier has given a new interview to Sky Sports and insists that her company PCP Capital partners, the Reuben brothers and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund are determined to see it through’.

She said Ashley wanted someone in with deep pockets :fwap:

 

They won’t be coming in to make up the numbers like.

Extremely interesting that it is Sky running this latest offensive indeed. 

 

Why? They've done Ashley's PR for him, for the last 14 years. If PIF take over the club, Sky will want to be front and centre again.

You can't help but be impressed by her. I know there's an obvious 'not Mike Ashley' now bias but it's four years since we had her pictured at that Liverpool game and she's still banging on about getting her hands on the club. Nice to feel wanted and you can't help but feel she'd make a great fist of making it a club we'd want it to be. Will be heartbreaking if it still doesn't come off.

This is the first time they've aired something critical of the Premier League during the whole saga. They have otherwise been very silent on the key points of the takeover.

 

Which I thought was understandable as they're in similar position to BeIN. The PL is nothing without the TV deals, so maybe Masters and Hoffman don't have many friends left in Sky after the ESL thing.
