Bimpy474 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Out from Caulkin yet? He's been shown to know very little about the whole episode tbh. No he's been shown to have a line into the buyers, who are sticking to their guns about what happened. Given Ashley is involved and the PL have taken the amount of time they have I know who I believe personally regardless of all this made up bollocks about Staveley being a chancer or whatever. We have years of evidence of what Ashley is like. If he has theyve been filling him with lies because most of what he's came out with these past few months has been well wide of the mark. You've no fucking idea what you're talking about man. There's nothing to suggest that anything the buying party have said is bullshit. I said from the start it wouldn't go through, Caulkin said it would. He knew fuck all, same as I did. Only difference was my gut feeling was right and his was wrong. Well fucking done.

Disco Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Everyone involved comes out of this looking pretty terrible, particularly the fat cunt and the PL albeit he won't give a flying shit. Obviously they were huge issues around being associated with such a toxic regime but this is still a hammer blow. Not just for the club but for the wider city too. Really disappointing. The new season has the potential to be absolutely fucking terrible for pretty much every angle you look at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Would love to know what sort of money the consortium have sunk into this only to be shafted. 15m + legal fees and other diligence costs so probably 20m+ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choppy Chop Chop Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Wow. I'm surprised, but not surprised. Exclusively reading the skysports report and the quotes, it simply seems as the investors were not going to hold up a massive amount of money that could be invested and grow elsewhere instead of being dicked around by the PL for an unlimited amount of time. Unless anything else has been reported by credible sources close to the deal, it doesn't look like Ashley is to blame for this one but rather the PL / member clubs. Shame that they have the power they do, and that NUFC as a business can't be bough and sold like any other business. I'm too attached to this forum to leave entirely, but won't be watching football or taking notice of rumours/transfers, participating in FPL or anything from now on until the club is owned by someone that wants and tries to make it as good as it can be. Just cba with it anymore. Excellent post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Ughhhh I can't even drink this away because it's on a fucking Thursday for fucks sake. The dream would be Amanda and the Reubens come back for us. No idea if that's affordable for them or not but just having owners that will invest and try to improve each year. That's all I want.

duo Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I guess the PL could say they hadn’t made a decision yet. In the end, they didn’t reject it. They're untouchable- can do, say what they want Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 There isn't a chance the PL passed PIF/PCP/RB. It would have been clearly stated by AS and in the statement. It was clear that there was literally no timeline or assurances it would ever pass, coupled with MA wanting to likely re-cut the deal with exclusivity ended. MA probably thought they'd never pass anyway and said you can tie it up for X price and X additional non-refundable money. The consortium said, fuck off.

Not sure Caulkin should be called out, he was relaying what was told to him by the buyers, problem is the PL seem to have changed the goalposts on a weekly basis.

Wallsendmag Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Its all on the PL - corrupt to the core- bigger clubs didn't want this to happen They are totally unaccountable can do what they want.

Hudson Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53598846 They say they would have invested not only in the club, but also England's north-east region, and put the blame at the door of the Premier League. But with so much conjecture over human rights, plus television rights piracy concerns, league officials may be privately relieved the consortium has withdrawn its interest. Many Newcastle United fans will no doubt see it very differently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stal Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I feel nothing. Tried to be positive but the longer it went every hope kinda went down with every day and then week that passed. Maybe anger and resentment will hit later but right now I'm just numb. Thanks from me to everyone who stayed positive, those who told us legit ITK-ish stuff and those that gave us insight into the business side of things. 17 weeks man.

Mental that other clubs can have a say, of course they are going to object when you are talking millions for finishing one place lower in the league.

Chapo Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Didn’t Hicks and Gillette pull some similar stroke when selling Liverpool? They weren’t let back out of the deal though, no such luck for us though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I don’t get the uncertainty angle as one of the reasons for pulling the deal. Crowds will come back, fans would be falling over themselves once they were allowed back in, ticket sales are small beer in terms of revenue, the popularity of the PL will be unaffected by Covid and global exposure of the PL will only grow. Opportunity to develop regions will be huge post Covid, the economy needs the boost and I’d expect Govt incentives. We’re missing something here, given that the money the Saudis have and that they were going to be in for the long term so could ride the current effects of Covid I’m kind of leaning towards the belief that they couldn’t satisfy the tests. Guess we’ll get a better clue if a new deal with someone else quickly comes to the fore. As much as he’s a twat it doesn’t look like Ashley is at fault here; if he gets a better deal he’ll be delighted if there’s no other deal £17M isn’t the outcome he’d want.

Ok I'll bite, what did he/they get wrong other than a confidence they were answering the questions and it would eventually be approved? The only thing they appear to have got wrong to me is that they assumed the pl was working in good faith and that Ashley was a good faith seller.
