LRD Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Maybe if they buy us we can just adopt this formula? Just go around telling people that since winning the Premier League in 1996 with Keegan we've won more domestic trophies than Real Madrid and Barcelona combined. We can photoshop JFK awarding us the Champions League medals. Hire Joe Kinnear as manager. After all, he won three manager of the year awards and signed Krul for us.

St1pe Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Not a huge amount of info here but Mark Douglas is/has been doing a live Q&A on the Chronicle's twitter page. I've asked this question: Hi Mark, Staveley asked the fans for action and I think we delivered. The NUST have done some fantastic work in recent weeks but seem to be ducking the question of why they won't be seeking a response from her since their meeting with the PL. Do you think the consortium should be providing fans with an update on where the takeover stands and will you be pursuing this? This was the response: fine point and I agree wholeheartedly. It was interesting that sources for the consortium were quick to jump in after Masters' letter - largely to bat back the point about arbitration - but we didn't hear quite so much after their meeting with NUST. We're being told there are things going on behind-the-scenes but I think we're at point where actions are needed rather than words now. Not a ton to go off but I'm guessing journalists have been told from the consortium there's still ongoing talks. I want to cling onto that like there could be hope still but it seems like the longest of long shots now. Info from that consortium has hardly been on point so far either has it.

RS Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 The telling part of the PIF withdrawal statement was the financial part. “Global uncertainty” killed this deal. The Masters response reads that it was PIF who were stalling and financial reasons are the sole reason for changing their mind. It’s absolutely dead in every respect and all that’s left for the fans is straw-clutching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on it was a face saving statement, they were basically saying where not waiting 12 months for arbitration. The global uncertainty hasn’t stopped them speculating billions on struggling businesses with a long term strategy in mind. You’ll hear from them next when it’s announced.

I’ll accept its over when Staveley tells Caulkin, then Caulkin tells rockers mutual friend, then rocker announces it on the forum. Until then hope prevails.

Guest Cheesy Beans Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 The Chronicle are doing a sterling job of sitting so hard on the fence so they can claim either way their info was right. “The deal may or may not happen, it’s quiet because it may or may not happen, our sources say it may happen, but it may not”. Is basically all they’ve been reporting over the last week. We’ve then got journalists, local and national, who reported on the Mauriss and BNG takeovers without doing the slightest bit of research on them which would have shown them up to be fake. The standard of journalism in this country is pathetic. But nobody regulates them, they only make money through clicks on websites and fake news works, so actually they’re probably performing well in that regard.

Tiresias Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 No she did have other funders behind her and i think she was trying to get it for not much more than £200m with extras added on later or something which would take it closer to ashley's asking price but ashley flat out said no.
