Takeover Thread - July 1st statement, Staveley letter to Tracey Crouch (and response) in OP

[gdm]

Yep, this.

 

NCSL received a BEIN headed letter asking what the difference is between him lobbying for the takeover and BEIN lobbing PL clubs to reject it. NCSL didn't know what to make of it, showed it to the lawyer he'd hired and was told one was illegal and one wasn't. That was the passed on to the club to aid them in their case.

 

It's little things like this that could really help us win arbitration and lead to the takeover.

 

>>>>>IGNORE THE BELOW POST IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ A NON-OPTIMISTIC APPRAISAL OF THE TAKEOVER OF NUFC<<<<<

 

Neither of those things are illegal (obviously).

 

Here's what has actually happened, and what will come to light when this sorry saga finally peters out for good: this Keith Patterson bloke and his pal have spunked some money up the wall to pay for a letter from a very expensive QC. The letter had no impact on anything because its argument (that the Premier League not approving a takeover of a club by the biggest pirates of Premier League IP was a violation of competition law) was nonsense. That's where Robert O'Donoghue's involvement began and ended - he knew it was nonsense but someone paid his fees so he had little choice but to put together a nonsense argument (note that the talk of 'letters before action' and legal action being imminent disappeared into the ether...).

 

The idea that Patterson is part of a co-ordinated legal attack concocted by some mixture of Ashley, Staveley, the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia and the Reuben brothers is genuinely insane. Recruiting local gobshites to pen appallingly-written letters to MPs is not how billionaires pursue legal strategies. Patterson, like Wraith, is a know-nothing gobshite using the desperation of fans to raise his profile for reasons we can only speculate on.

 

The Saudi takeover of NUFC no longer exists as a going concern. Ashley is pursuing damages on the grounds of restraint of trade. No-one should give a shit whether he gets what he wants on that front.

 

Just one question? Is any of this fact or just your opinion?

[Guest Howaythetoon]

I'm dubious about Keith Patterson but re the last paragraph, if Mike Ashley is doing the arbitration only to seek damages to himself, why is Newcastle United one of the parties in arbitration? Why isn't it just Mike Ashley Vs the PL?

 

Wouldn’t work otherwise as a private individual, has to be the business surely? I could be wrong though like

[Shearergol]

If Ashley wins that case by proving the PL were "wrong", does it not open up the takeover to proceed? If the Saudis are still interested If course.

 

Is there any Staveley or Reuben brothers action at all?

Yep, this.

He doesn’t know any of this, it’s his opinion, or that of his source.

[Wallsendmag]

It's that Red Rose Michelle lass on twitter who kicked off most of the animosity towards Keith. She has a band of desperate male followers who'll back her regardless in some pathetic attempt to get noticed or a like off her.

 

Thing is what people forget is that she got almost everything wrong the 1st time around and when someone put her CV onto twitter the other week it showed that she's a very inexperienced solicitor with no experience in this field.

 

Her rage at wasting MP time during a pandemic is a bit rich aswell, she openly admits she sent a letter the 1st time round. I’m quite sure they have enough spare time to deal with multiple issues, and likewise govt ministers.

 

 

She's on there for the sole purpose of boosting her social media profile, pure and simple and shes succeeded there I'll give her that. She's a solicitor (calls her lself a lawyer to make it sound more interesting even though Lawyer is just an American term for Solicitior).

 

My wife is a Solicitor as well. She's been qualified in excess of 20 years now and owns her own practice. Her main specialist areas are Family, probate and to a lesser extent, criminal. If you were unfairly dismissed from your job or you wanted to claim for an accident you'd had she would politely direct you to a specialist in that field as, in her words, she wouldn't necessarily know a great deal more than you do as it's not a part of Law she practices in.

 

Similarly the red Michelle lass won't necessarily know a great deal more than your average, but fairly well educated person in the street, about legal matters in this takeover (which is why she got mostly everything wrong from March-August and tried to compensate for that by using fairly raunchy Profile photos to make up for her lack of and real expertise to keep people hanging onto her words).

Literally the first word in her bio is "Solicitor", like.

My apologies as I haven't seen her Bio for a while. She used to use the word Lawyer all the time when trying to underline her own importance.

The rest, well,I don’t know Kieth Pattison so can’t comment and Ashley, I’d never trust any motive of his, ever. PCP/PIF/Reubens they want NUFC and are working away to make sure the takeover happens.

 

There's no actual proof of this though is there? There's absolutely no proof that PIF, Stavely or PCP are behind any of this ongoing legal action. It's just people attempting to join the dots. No matter how many times WhitleyMag or ManorPark scream that we cant see the wood for the tree's.

 

Unfortunately, I think IMTTS take on the matter sounds a lot more likely than baseless stuff like "It'll be done by Spring", "My source says keep the faith", "We'll have news by Monday". I dont want to agree with Luke Edwards, but here I am.

 

Its got to the point where people are being strung along by blind optimism, misplaced sources, vulture journalists and gobshite twitter ITKs. I'll include myself in that too, hence why I check this thread almost every day.

He actually addressed the first bit last week. The bit about Bein letter is totally seperate to what you say. Interesting though the only person that seemed to be angry about this was Luke Edwards when he fed a load of bullshit to Liam Kennedy to try and scare him off.

 

The second bit, he's never said he's part of a Co-ordinated legal attack. He literally says he wants to annoy the PL and he's doing this because he wants the takeover. I've never heard him say he's doing it along side the consortium, merely doing it as well as their legal action.

Your previous posts already suggest that you believed the negative line taken constantly by this poster. If his pure opinion has ‘clarified matters’, you need to go give your head a shake. No one knows what’s happening, and certainly don’t know if “the Saudi takeover no longer exists”. However, all the evidence points towards it still ongoing.

There's no actual proof of this though is there? There's absolutely no proof that PIF, Stavely or PCP are behind any of this ongoing legal action. It's just people attempting to join the dots. No matter how many times WhitleyMag or ManorPark scream that we cant see the wood for the tree's.

Its got to the point where people are being strung along by blind optimism, misplaced sources, vulture journalists and gobshite twitter ITKs. I'll include myself in that too, hence why I check this thread almost every day.

 

 

 

As opposed to the proof they aren’t? Thankfully this is all being done secretly and fully behind closed doors even on the PL side finally, all this noise by this KP bloke, although not to be ignored and dismissed, is about public pressure (on all parties IMO) to have nowhere to hide from doing what must happen, and will happen IMO.

So we're expected to believe that PIF/PCP/Saudis are behind the legal action on the basis that there isnt conclusive proof that they arent? Some of the logic in this thread

[InspectorCoarse]

If its being done in secret , how do you know ?

[LV]

They’re all out tonight.

[Guest Howaythetoon]

If its being done in secret , how do you know ?

 

I’ll play long, OK then from the public eye...

[Whitley mag]

Its an absolute mess like.

 

I still think there is and always has been serious problems with the bid that simply haven't been addressed. There is no reason for the PL to not want more investment in one of their member clubs. More money, better players, a bigger club, a better product. Its totally counter intuitive for the PL to not want the takeover. The PL answer to their shareholders and ultimately a Saudi back NUFC would improve their product. There simply has to be serious issues with the bid or bidders.

 

I don't buy that they're corrupt/in Qatar or the Big Sixes pocket either. For what reason? It would be cutting off their nose in spite of their face.

 

As for NUFC fan related social media, its packed with absolute f***ing chancers that care more about their content than the actual club. A lot of them would be happily to seriously mislead fans for a few extra subscribers or followers (I'm including journalists in that too). Mike Ashley could do whatever the f*** he likes and some of them would produce some award winning mental gymnastics to justify going to the match or buying from the club so they keep running their stupid accounts or barely listened to podcasts.

 

I hate to bring this up mate, but when you’re talking about logic I really can’t take you seriously.

The PL answer to their shareholders and ultimately a Saudi back NUFC would improve their product. There simply has to be serious issues with the bid or bidders.

 

I don't buy that they're corrupt/in Qatar or the Big Sixes pocket either. For what reason? It would be cutting off their nose in spite of their face.

 

As for NUFC fan related social media, its packed with absolute f***ing chancers that care more about their content than the actual club. A lot of them would be happily to seriously mislead fans for a few extra subscribers or followers (I'm including journalists in that too). Mike Ashley could do whatever the f*** he likes and some of them would produce some award winning mental gymnastics to justify going to the match or buying from the club so they keep running their stupid accounts or barely listened to podcasts.

 

I hate to bring this up mate, but when you’re talking about logic I really can’t take you seriously.

 

 

Well thought out and reason based response as per usual.

 

Just keep on screaming "ITS HAPPENING" at anyone who goes against your foolishly blind optimism.  I'm sure that'll work.

Its an absolute mess like.

You’re credibility is zilch based on that post mate.

 

You just keep believing the PL want this takeover, after all why wouldn’t they. 

[Guest Howaythetoon]

Yep, this.

 

NCSL received a BEIN headed letter asking what the difference is between him lobbying for the takeover and BEIN lobbing PL clubs to reject it. NCSL didn't know what to make of it, showed it to the lawyer he'd hired and was told one was illegal and one wasn't. That was the passed on to the club to aid them in their case.

 

It's little things like this that could really help us win arbitration and lead to the takeover.

 

>>>>>IGNORE THE BELOW POST IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ A NON-OPTIMISTIC APPRAISAL OF THE TAKEOVER OF NUFC<<<<<

 

Neither of those things are illegal (obviously).

 

Here's what has actually happened, and what will come to light when this sorry saga finally peters out for good: this Keith Patterson bloke and his pal have spunked some money up the wall to pay for a letter from a very expensive QC. The letter had no impact on anything because its argument (that the Premier League not approving a takeover of a club by the biggest pirates of Premier League IP was a violation of competition law) was nonsense. That's where Robert O'Donoghue's involvement began and ended - he knew it was nonsense but someone paid his fees so he had little choice but to put together a nonsense argument (note that the talk of 'letters before action' and legal action being imminent disappeared into the ether...).

 

The idea that Patterson is part of a co-ordinated legal attack concocted by some mixture of Ashley, Staveley, the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia and the Reuben brothers is genuinely insane. Recruiting local gobshites to pen appallingly-written letters to MPs is not how billionaires pursue legal strategies. Patterson, like Wraith, is a know-nothing gobshite using the desperation of fans to raise his profile for reasons we can only speculate on.

 

The Saudi takeover of NUFC no longer exists as a going concern. Ashley is pursuing damages on the grounds of restraint of trade. No-one should give a shit whether he gets what he wants on that front.

 

So wrong!

 

The rest, well,I don’t know Kieth Pattison so can’t comment and Ashley, I’d never trust any motive of his, ever. PCP/PIF/Reubens they want NUFC and are working away to make sure the takeover happens.

 

There's no actual proof of this though is there? There's absolutely no proof that PIF, Stavely or PCP are behind any of this ongoing legal action. It's just people attempting to join the dots. No matter how many times WhitleyMag or ManorPark scream that we cant see the wood for the tree's.

 

Unfortunately, I think IMTTS take on the matter sounds a lot more likely than baseless stuff like "It'll be done by Spring", "My source says keep the faith", "We'll have news by Monday". I dont want to agree with Luke Edwards, but here I am.

 

Its got to the point where people are being strung along by blind optimism, misplaced sources, vulture journalists and gobshite twitter ITKs. I'll include myself in that too, hence why I check this thread almost every day.

 

 

 

As opposed to the proof they aren’t? Thankfully this is all being done secretly and fully behind closed doors even on the PL side finally, all this noise by this KP bloke, although not to be ignored and dismissed, is about public pressure (on all parties IMO) to have nowhere to hide from doing what must happen, and will happen IMO.

 

So we're expected to believe IMTTS?  Some of the logic in this thread
