Bishops Finger Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Silver lining, Mike loses the £17m deposit now. ;D That makes me feel better, he's really going to be pissed off now. For once I might end up on Ashley's side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggys First Goal Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 https://twitter.com/MoneyMikeAshley/status/1303767594407788545?s=20 Its f***ing him isn't it? Seems amazingly coincidental that the day after he tweeted originally, the club release a statement. The club never release statements. How would some random know it was coming? I'm 98% sure it's him behind the account. Or maybe one of his kids at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Think I've said it before - I'd love to know the full impact Covid has had on Frasers/his other business interests. I think he's desperate for the £350m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I guess this has been what’s going on behind the scenes maybe? It’s definitely over now then. If Ashley does nothing then yes it seems so, if he goes to court i would suggest not. It’ll be compensation. The PL won’t be made to accept the deal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 The PL has been absolutely fucking appalling, like. Fucking shambles. Corrupt to the fucking core. Come on big Mike. Fuck these corrupt cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 PL are f***ed here like... As are all of those who doubted it was ongoing. Yeah it’s dead nothing happening Yesterday: PIF have long since withdrawn, citing PL twattery and Covid Today: PIF have long since withdrawn, citing PL twattery and Covid, and have also failed the owners test so couldn't buy us if they wanted. N-O: Ooh, progress... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 How can they reject it when it was withdrawn last month? or did it rejected pre withdrawal and NUFC are just 2 months late in confirming? There was talk about it trying to be revived and we would only hear next if it was successful or failed. This is it. I feel like the PL has been trying to save face and Ashley has called them on it. The takeover/fit and proper test process was never formally withdrawn as far as I can remember. Granted, haven't paid much attention to club affairs for a few weeks.

Thumbheed Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 This is good news. We have clarity and by the sounds of it Ashly and the club do not accept the decision. They've clearly stated they've provided enough information to counter this decision so it looks like they'll fight the decision in court. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cheesy Beans Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I’m assuming any court action won’t be to force the sale though. It seems dead now. In some ways I’m pleased there’s a full stop to it. In another I’m absolutely gutted all over again. Southampton was initially rejected, approved upon appeal. Edit - The PL would rather approve it than be forced to pay millions in compensation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting it was the club providing the evidence, surely it should have been PIF ? The process goes through the club iirc, so if the Premier League request some information the hand it to the Club who then hand it to the buyers. Bit arcaic imo.
