Takeover Thread - July 1st statement, Staveley letter to Tracey Crouch (and response) in OP


Recommended Posts

If the PL is blocking this despite the government telling them to get it done, then I hope the government tell them no fans all season due to covid. It's not like anyone would want to watch king bacon's hoofball but it would piss off the rest of the clubs and force the PL to hand more money back to the TV companies and further devalue their brand.

What excites me most is wondering who Money Mike Ashley is.

 

The mask is starting to slip - it's clearly someone close to Ashley.

 

 

Personally think it’s Caulkin

 

I reckon when a takeover finally goes through it’ll just go to a blue tick.

Few key bits from that Athletic article...

 

With funds in place and ready to be paid, they hoped Newcastle might officially be theirs by the middle of next week.

 

“This isn’t over,” one source on the buying side told The Athletic, but what that means is not clear. PIF’s attitude will be vital. They had led the original withdrawal and as majority partners in the consortium had the most clout. Privately, it was accepted that PIF would only officially come back to the table if acceptance by the Premier League was guaranteed. This is another snub. How will they react now?

 

Well reading that first part is depressing.

I’d have loved it though if the Premier League’s statement had simply been ‘Mike Ashley has repeatedly and intentionally misled the press, public and the fans of Newcastle United'

Wow. So were the transfers on the approval of the would be new owners? This has seem a strange week and the transfers reflect that.

 

MA is looking for the receipts as we speak, in the hope he can return them.

 

Hope the cunt has to pay postage.

 

ASM probably getting bundled into his private helicopter as we speak to recoup the cash  :lol:

Starting to seem like Mandy is the only one trying to push this along.  Maybe she's asking RB and PIF if she can get it close will they be willing to jump back in?  She's telling GC its edging closer, closer...then PL says, "eh not close enough, sorry Mandy..."

 

And what is this based on?  She has said the square root of fook all since riling up NUST

Maybe somebody could have, I don't know, asked them?

Ironic thing is if they'd just released that they'd probably be getting less heat

Ashley should just sell and the owners dare the Premier League to throw us out/suspend us.

They have lost £500m in the last week due to the Chinese TV deal being thrown out, the local broadcasters are probably pissed that they are likely having to show every game all season, everyone except BeIN would be pissed if there was a team missing and a spare game every weekend.

Do they deal, dare the Premier League, and drag it through the courts.

Yes mate the Saudis will definitely want a team that isn't even allowed to play in the prem.
