Ketsbaia Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 So if they were expecting approval just two nights ago and the Premier League say they've not rejected it..... no, nope. Don't start thinking this thought Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Elsewhere Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 For whatever reason the PL are desperate, desperate to put a block on this anyway they can. They will never ever let this happen imo. They won’t even bow to apparent pressure from the government on it. It’s quite incredible it really is.

Any way they can, other than actually disqualifying PIF as a director. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 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..."

TRon Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 This is pissing me right off now. Why is he saying (again) that they thought approval would come this week when from what I can see, the PL don't appear anywhere close to approving it. What information does he, the club, and the consortium have that have given them that impression ? I mean it's a hearsay atm so who knows what to believe. Maybe the consortium we're confident they had established clear separation between pif and state, but the PL stood firm with their legal standing on it? Whilst I'm pigging sick of it, I'm intrigued to see what/if anything comes of this shit slinging. The PL are clearly not that confident of their position, otherwise they wouldn't be so reticent to actually disqualify PIF on that basis. This increasingly looks like a play to try to force their hand to make a decision. Agree, although it's pretty clear that the pressure from the other side, i.e.. Qatar and the other PL clubs is holding more clout with the PL at this point. They are not going to budge until the courts force them to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagMal Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 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.

Optimistic Nut Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 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.

Thumbheed Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 "The Athletic understands that Ashley had been keen to use his new contacts to pursue wider business opportunities with the Saudis. He is said to be furious that he may now have lost out twice over." Reason 12847 why this is not over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 So if cans was spelled backwards, are the club telling everyone to put them back? Damn it’s off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 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' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
