James Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I don’t think people understand what is going on here, the legal route that NCSL are going down is through the CMA. This route is only open to customers. The PL in their arrogance believe they can fight off any anti-competition fight because it is extremely difficult for customers to band together and raise the capital to fight the case. In fact in the initial legal salvo the PL told NCSL that they were unwilling to engage in a legal battle because NCSL can’t afford it. Therefore if NCSL do have the money, the PLs argument to block the legal case will be that NCSL aren’t customers, but in fact a private organisation attempting to abuse the process to further its own market objectives. Therefore NCSL have to move from a position of zero presence six months ago to outwardly appearing and behaving like a supporter’s group so are deliberately behaving dumber and like a fan.

1892er Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 It's ironic that that god awful letter to the Prime Minister actually reads like a rambling, incoherent Boris Johnson speech. And now I think they’ve done it on purpose and in fact it is backed by the legal team and nick the baker is a genius. Boris is now sitting there thinking ‘these people speak my language, I must help my people’ Oh Joey if your going to be churlish and criticise other people for being incoherent, you need to make sure your spot on yourself. I would have thought some of the other highly intelligent posters on here who have criticised NCSL would have picked you up. That "that that" repetition is an infelicity that that author might have avoided with a bit of rewording so that that "that that" juxtaposition never found its way into print.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Did we not decide that account purporting to be staveleys husband was fake two days ago? Lol...Stifler did because the guy said he was watching a tv rerun and enjoying it, and Stifler said he couldn’t have as he was in Iran when it first came out. Or something like that?! Lol. Aye, the theory was the good people of the Gulf weren't exposed to "Challenge Ant", "Mr Lee" or "Chums" in their prime. Nor were they cutting about Tehran rubbing their stomachs shouting "Pikachuuuuuuuuu" and therefore for Staveley's husband to be reminiscing of those halcyon days, it must be a fake account.

That would be a constructive way of making a contribution, instead of nit picking over a letter that certainly doesn’t need to be polished. It’s very easy to ‘point out’ as you put it, but the stick these lads have been getting from elements of the fan base is disgusting. Good job they seem to have broad shoulders, as currently they’re a great source of information and are keeping this in the media spotlight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
manorpark Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 That letter is utter fucking tripe. So poorly written too. The whole thing stinks of that cretin Steve Wraith like. NCSL are an embarrassment like. They're called Newcastle Consortium Supporters and tweet like a 14 year old girl. They've been an embarrassment from day 1. There are probably a lot of people on here who feel that they can write a more professional sounding letter than the Newcastle Consortium Supporters. Yes, well maybe you can, and maybe you can't. BUT, what the **ck have you actually DONE ? Eh, what have you DONE? These guys have done a lot, and are still doing a lot. We all owe them a debt, a great debt, I am personally very proud of them. it is great to have people who 'care' on our side, people who actually DO something! Shut up, man. Fucks sake. Are you ok?? I take it you are one of those bedroom "do nothing" types. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffJ Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 It is entirely possible to have thought the initial message from NCSL was well meant with the best of intensions but still be critical of way they’ve conducted themselves at times and be embarrassed by the state of that letter to Johnson without being told .... WELL WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! I could go and scrawl ‘Cock Piss Masters’ in shit on the walls of SJP and I’d have done something, doesn’t make it helpful or right.

Mattoon Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Definitely could have been written better but maybe they were going for emotive and personable over professional and stuffy? I don't find it embarrassing as I didn't write it, not sure how people get embarrassed for someone else to be honest. It might be a little cringe worthy but at least they're still going for it, still trying to keep this takeover afloat in the water. Clearly there is more to what they're doing in the grand scheme of it all or they'd have been asked to stop by those involved in the takeover. So maybe, rather than criticize and feel embarrassed by proxy, we should just leave them to it, offer support of we can and see how it plays out, or if it really bothers you that much, ignore it all until it reaches whatever conclusion it's hurtling towards.

Darth Crooks Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 As ever the happy path is a delicate balance between the two. Those in close support or as part of NCSL need to be clear in tone and aim if they want to be seen to represent the fan base and in turn the majority of fans back them and also be able to filter constructive criticism from the slanging. Likewise, if its an effort or some selling side form of 4D chess to keep things going all power to them - it certainly makes a lot of noise. The problem with noise, especially on twitter is that there’s a lot of it about and people develop a filter for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
