Kaizero Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 As long as people can vouch for him then I'm more than happy to take on his bet (providing he can prove he's paid up on all the others he's lost of course). That is £500 that the takeover will be completed by January 31st. He says it will, I say it won't. He donates to the food bank each year and always pushes someone into a bet in the weeks before he usually donates. He's always donated, even when he wins his bets. HTT is sound as fuck.

alexf Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I'll never understand someone's need to pretend to be an "ITK". Feel like this sort of thing started off with the transfer itks back in the old days of the forum that again always proved to be made up as well. But I guess it's no different to people in general just craving attention and importance. Just look at the amount of untalented YouTube vloggers exist now. I appreciate someone passing on info from other forums however, that saves the rest of us needing to go out and source it ourselves. But just present it as that. No need to shroud it in mystery and pretend it's anything else. Although I can't even remember if Mimms even did that? ODIN however was a cunt who just took the piss out of people's naivety and made something up for shits n giggles. Annoying thing about that is, why would anyone have thought someone was sad enough to make shit like that up and bother to even try and debunk it. Least that isn't what's happened this time.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I love that HTT keeps forcing people into "bets" when he's donating that sum annually anyway great way to possibly secure a double donation to the food bank though! It's funny but at the same time I wonder if he is quite the full shilling when I read some of his posts. I'd hate to think I was taking advantage of someone who maybe has some sort of mental disability however slight it might be. Wouldn't sit well with me at all. Has anyone actually met him in person? Is he ok, if you know what I mean? Wallsendmag[/member] Alreet doctor Goebbels Nowt wrong with me mate Come to the next Lockwood Cup and you’ll find I’m a thoroughly nice chap and quite normal!

nufcjb Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I'd love to know who felt the need to both message Mimms for info and then message Penn with that info. Weird. I thought I'd give this place a wide berth for a while because people seemed to be getting genuinely, real-life upset, and it was never my intention to cause such distress and hurt. But I haven't posted on here in two weeks and people are still crying about me - that's not healthy guys. That Swedish lad can ban me again now but for the record: - anyone who ever thought I was actually Luke Edwards is deeply, deeply unwell. - no-one ever leaked anything from Mimms to me (if an admin can see PMs they'll be able to verify). Mimms got upset because he realised that someone else had access to his 'source' and he got suitably embarrassed (his source being a notorious ITK gobshite from the Football365 forum, who posts all of Mimms' info a couple of hours before Mimms appears in here). Goodbye and god bless. I love you all. Wo...IMTTS was actually right? Who would have thought eh..? You're still a cunt though, Luke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Tbf it is very frustrating, infuriating and unfair that the takeover didn’t go thru so when HTT starts that pish patter about announcements and 3pm Friday blah blah it’s unsurprising it rubs people up the wrong way. I find it a little strange how Penn gets (rightly) slaughtered and banned for clearly being on the wind up but HTT comes out with that constant shite and it’s fine As I said tho I like the guy. Think most of us are fed up with the state of play at the minute I’m gonna announce on Friday 3.00pm on here that I’ll be making no more such posts ever again on here.

My only ever ITK moment was knowing that we were signing Alan fucking Smith months before it happened. I do believe people get information from people they believe would know the score though. I got told by someone who "should" know that Hayden was going to be sold last summer. Doesn't mean I won't believe them when they tell me the next bit of gossip.

gdm Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Mentioned in this article A proposed £340 million takeover of Newcastle United appears to have moved a step closer, with the Premier League having been informed of a bid led by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia. The organisation is understood to have been formally made aware of the attempt to buy out Mike Ashley, with PIF, the largest sovereign wealth fund in the world, taking an 80 per cent stake if the deal goes through. Amanda Staveley’s PCP Capital is expected to acquire 10 per cent of the club, with the remaining 10 per cent taken by Reuben Brothers, the investment body of one of Britain’s wealthiest families, who own Newcastle racecourse and have a large portfolio of properties and assets worth more than £18 billion. The Telegraph understands that the prospective new owners have been in contact with the Premier League to register their intention to buy the club. Staveley, Jamie Reuben, son of David Reuben and the driving force behind his family’s involvement in the deal, and Yasir Al-Rumayyan, governor of PIF, are believed to have been named among prospective directors. Al-Rumayyan is expected be chairman of Newcastle if the deal is completed. Under League rules Jamie Reuben would have to resign as a director of Queens Park Rangers so that he could also join the board. It is understood that contact was made several days ago and it may take up to a month for the Premier League, which is under huge pressure because of the coronavirus crisis, to conduct checks to ensure the funding is in place and the principals pass the owners and directors test. However, even if the deal is signed no announcement is expected before then. The move towards concluding a deal is a surprise, not least because of the uncertainty created by the effects of the pandemic, with all football suspended. The financial implications are significant, although Newcastle fans will be hugely relieved if the takeover is agreed and Ashley’s ownership finally ends. It will be one of the biggest takeovers in British football. –– ADVERTISEMENT –– Talks had intensified since the start of this year with the hope that Ashley could finally be persuaded to sell Newcastle, though negotiations have been problematic. Businesswoman Amanda Staveley in the stands during the Premier League match at St James' Par An earlier bid led by Amanda Staveley failed in 2018 CREDIT: Owen Humphreys/PA The consortium, which code-named its plans “Project Zebra” because of Newcastle’s black-and-white stripes, has high hopes of creating a sporting project around the club, with investment in the academy and training ground as well as first-team squad, and in regenerating the area. Staveley, the financier brokering the deal, has been trying to buy Newcastle since October 2017 and had a series of bids rejected by Ashley but it appears that the game-changer is the involvement of PIF, which is chaired by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and the vast backing that could bring. The Saudis have been considering how best to make a move into football for some time and have looked at other clubs, but regard Newcastle as one with huge potential. Questions have been asked as to why, with their wealth, the Saudis want to bring in minority partners but it is not unusual for them to structure deals in this way. The PIF fund is central to Saudi Arabia’s “Vision 2030”, a plan spearheaded by Prince Mohammed to diversify the economy away from oil and is also the driving force behind the country’s ambitions to develop new tourist and entertainment industries. David Reuben established Reuben Brothers with his brother Simon. Their fortune was founded on aluminium and mining in Russia and Afghanistan but they have diversified by investing in UK property, including Millbank Tower in central London. Jamie Reuben, 33, who is a friend of QPR chairman Amit Bhatia, is a keen sports fan and joined the Championship club’s board two years ago. He has become the public face of the business which is already also developing a six-acre city centre site in Newcastle. The Reubens wealth easily eclipses that of Roman Abramovich although they, and PCP, will be minority partners if the deal is agreed. Ashley bought Newcastle for £134.4million in 2007 and the Sports Direct owner has proved an unpopular owner at St James’ Park. Newcastle are 13th in the Premier League under Steve Bruce but have been relegated twice from the top-flight during Ashley’s reign with the businessman accused of failing to invest by supporters. Staveley’s ability to buy Newcastle has been questioned despite an apparent series of proposed bids. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really care if Mimms was getting information from another site tbh, I don't visit that site so for me posting on here was great. Is the takeover still a prospect? I think so personally, and if that turns out to be the case then Penn won't have been right at all. He can't prove categorically that the deal is off so as far as I'm concerned he can fuck off and take his snidey digs with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
