RS Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 The pork is mightier than the sword is factually correct. The deal is “officially” off the table. Whether there is a new deal is still to be confirmed but as it stands interest has been withdrawn and the only action ongoing involves compensation claims due to the deal collapsing for alleged legal breaches. The rest is blind optimism and interpretation of bread based photographs, of which I’ve fully bought into. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Busted in minutes To be fair I don't think he was trying to be inconspicuous. What he said is right though, the consortium have publicly announced they are no longer interested. If they were interested again, they could say so. That they haven't should be a wake up call to some in here. PIF have announced they are no longer interested not "the consortium." Can anyone think of a reason why Ashley would engage a QC who specialises in International public law if PIF weren't still involved? I can't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIF only made a public statement, and (at the time) I certainly understood why!! Sheer 'exasperation'. PIF have never said they have withdrawn from the Consortium (the consortium would have told us about that if it had happened) neither have they (or anyone else) officially informed the Premier League that the bid has been withdrawn. it is all still moving along, as it always should have been, quietly. Like most people, I fear - after a long period of quiet - that it is 'off' and I constantly want to hear news (even 'informed leaks') but in reality it is far, far, far better without leaks. All we have to do is . . . WAIT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think what Luke Edwards has posted on here under his most recent guise is particularly wrong like. There's a small chance some meaningful progress is being made in the background but we've yet to see any real evidence of that outside of a few ITK's passing on what they've heard with the best of intentions. I think anyone believing that this deal is anywhere near being concluded is deluding themselves though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I think if the breakaway league is still a prospect in the near future, then that alone would put off investors like PIF. I haven't kept up to date with what's going on there, but it seems to me like there are still people, including Masters, who seem to think it's an ongoing discussion. Maybe I've just read it wrong though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackyboy Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Maybe with the crumbling of our High St shops Ashley may think that the best way for him to make money is through NUFC rather than SD, hence our recent player acquisitions. Keeping Bruce is good and cheap providing we avoid relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deal is just as likely to be agreed tomorrow as it is in December or March. The news, when it comes, will come out-of-the-blue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 The purchase of NUFC is essential to SA’s plans forward in sport and media and one of a key ways in which through that is the best way of showcasing what their money does to anything it touches and that’s exponential success packaged in a most royal, grande and godly like way.
