Whitley mag Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Can’t wait for the day we see one of these stories on the official Newcastle twitter Think Ashley was to blame for these not taking over us. His interview in the Daily Mail with Samuel give the game away when he said “what’s an extra 10 million”. I wish Derby all the best, however for our sanity I hope they don’t turn out to be big players as it will be very hard to stomach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 The BZG one was weird. First of all there was different reports on his wealth, with no way of verifying his claimed wealth. There was also questions over his relationship to the Man City owners, he started off being a brother, then a cousin, then a distant 2nd cousin. Derby are at least a likeable club. They have a good loyal fan base, they aren’t another rugby town club who have got owners who have decided to get in on football. If things brings them financial stability then that’s a good thing, out of jealousy though I would if want them to become mega rich though. Hopefully they get that stability that they need.

Plus his meltdowns on needing time to change and work in progress farce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Pretty much a combination of Ashley and PIF coming on the scene meant BZG moved on. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/takeover-never-was-bin-zayed-19234285 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 C’mon lads this is the only topic worth discussing, may aswell mothball the rest of the board it’s irrelevant. Some interesting bits in this article including PIF putting together a tv bid worth more than the entire MENA contract to force takeover through. Also still ongoing political pressure, maybe along with this new media company that is the key to breaking deadlock. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/revealed-big-saudi-move-takeover-19242951 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I am very guilty of being cynical when it's quiet and positive when there is noise. The last couple of weeks of silence have not given me much hope. I know silence can mean that things are happening, but I hate it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Wanted Manu, went for NUFC, ended up with Derby County. If they are lucky they'll be the next, errr, Derby County. I think they'd be quite happy to be the next Leicester City. Similar sized clubs (traditionally Derby probably slightly bigger) from the same part of the country. They've certainly got a good starting point with the stadium and decent sized fanbase. They'll look at what the likes of Leicester, Wolves and possibly Southampton are doing and think that there's no reason they can't be doing similar in a few years time.

Positive - it's nearly 2 weeks since Mimms said cans in a few weeks. Mimms clearly has a source. If the source was telling the truth good news should be just around the corner.

I think the next round of tv deals are due to be negotiated this year, but stand to be corrected. If they accept MENA no longer works they’ll have to deal with Saudis.

Whitley mag Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I noticed during the week there were a lot of so called supporters getting very aggressive with Liam Kennedy, and demanding to know more background info on these 2 fans taking legal action. Now I could understand if the action was being funded by fellow fans as originally floated by wor fund, however these 2 blokes appear to be doing it off their own backs. Therefore, it really beggars belief that some cretin on twitter would be trying to establish what companies one of these guys had worked for. As much as I love this club, there’s a real element of our support that I can’t stand who do nothing but criticise when some folk decide to do something.

This guy, who has posted stuff on the takeover that has turned out to be correct in the past and seems to be the only ITK still speaking indicates that it won't be concluded before December. https://twitter.com/RyanMaine_/status/1324999535408640000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
