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

[gdm]

Love the way this has turned into thread vs thread, its mental.

 

 

It’s stupid that there are two threads in the first place as people are going to voice their opinions either way.

 

Yeap and it's ridiculous people want an echo chamber for their own particular thoughts.

 

100% it’s a ridiculous thread. Ridiculous you can’t post anything that isn’t positive.

[Whitley mag]

BBC running with this as headline. Think we can put the whole takeover saga to bed now

 

Ok we’ll not expect to see you again in here from now on then.

 

Let’s see if you stick to you’re conviction ?

 

This isn’t your thread man. Stick your mad mates tweets in the positive thread. This is the realist thread

 

Argh I thought it was over but you’re back again. Nowt madder than someone thinking somethings over then keep posting about it

People being positive about it we’re getting chased by people negative so they set up their own version.

 

I set up the first thread back in March last year as “Futile optimism-The Saudi Takeover Edition” as a way of discussing the potential takeover...Days before it became a possible reality. The thread morphed into the “Takeover thread” when there was a good chance the takeover would happen........By May/June/July it looked down and out and we started the bickering war of its definitely on/definitely off.....So i started a new thread “Positive Optimism” as a means of bringing together those people who still felt there was a chance of the takeover happening, a place to put in hearsay/tweets etc rather than reopen the “Braindead” Thread. There is still a place for both threads...The takeover Thread provides the opportunity for deep discussion, whilst the Positive thread provides a light hearted break for those who want, perhaps, to escape reality?

[Stifler]

For what it’s worth the UN released a report which says the exact same as the US one does back in 2019.

 

As we learned in the summer, that isn’t an issue that this deal will be tested on.

The deal going ahead comes down to piracy and possibly the separation of PIF from the state. For what it’s worth it’s not even about spectating PIF from the state, but being convinced that the state couldn’t suddenly take a hold of NUFC or ask PIF to do things such as dispose of NUFC etc.

I see it similar to the separation between the transfer rumours thread and the braindead twitter lies thread. There's a clear distinction between fact and current understanding and fallacy and lies. Not to say something cant start in one thread and end up being relevant in the other.

I see journalists are goading Newcastle fans on Twitter as a result of these Khashoggi findings. Utter cunts.

[Sean]

Why not just call the other thread what it is then, La La Land?

 

Pretty sure if Keith/Whitley and his possible multiple accounts gave it a rest for a week this thread would be much calmer.

Barney Ronay is a really good writer but a miserable, dreary dullard. I'm a Guardian reader/listener and it produces a lot of great content, but that paper was always going to shit all over the concept of this takeover. When a story like this comes along, taking the piss out of a club/fans is just a bi-product of asserting/emphasising a political position.

[gdm]

Even luke edwards is backing up the fans on this one

Not true, I’m always looking for discussion that’s it. If I think you are wrong I’ll say so.

 

Also I was pretty positive up until a couple of weeks ago when firstly the threat of relegation and secondly the recent report from the US but realistically positive not head in the clouds dreamland positive like you

Same, but its just utterly rancid patter. Big political scandal, ooh, yeah, let's tweet something to windup fans of a club that were subject to a takeover saga 8-10 months ago for shits and giggles. Just fuck off.

Ok I’m going to humour you GDM. You had a complete melt down yesterday and more or less declared it’s over. What do you now think that Biden has fallen short of making MBS an international fugitive and has gone back on his election promise. As just confirmed by ITN news the liberals are not happy with Biden and he has not been placed on a list of banned Saudis. So basically this is going nowhere and will blow over.

 

Are you going to be back in again in a couple of weeks ?

Hardly a melt down but ok.

 

Again, a complete failure by you to recognise that MBS ordered the use of PIF planes 

 

At this moment I think it’s over. However my mind may change depending on what happens. What you don’t seem to be able to grasp is people are allowed to change their mind depending on what information comes out. A sensible person takes the info available to them and makes an informed decision and should new information come out or information changes then so can the persons opinion. You seem to think people changing their opinion makes them mental or weak minded or something? I’d argue rigidly sticking to an opinion no matter what info comes out is utterly mental each to their own

Sorry but I think you blow with the wind and you seem to think by calling people out as you put it you’re some sort of takeover voice of authority, and that you must protect the less well informed of bullshit. We’re all capable of making up our own mind and if I want to post some light hearted craic from twitter accounts I’ll certainly not be censored by you.

 

As for ignoring evidence and sticking to a rigid opinion, i’ve fully explained to you tonight why I remain positive, if that changes I’m more than sensible enough to change my opinion thanks.

Nah you are making shit up now I’m far from a voice of authority. I use the forum for discussion and not just put the same repetitive shite on constantly. You got voted worst football poster for a reason

Absolutely, Ronay has written some great stuff sometimes, but the guardian has some total blindspot at times for the north east, when mentioning of us a total lack of even an attempt to understand newcastle fans. Such a london centric paper sadly. And i say that as someone i think referred to as bellend for saying i don't think there is hope. Honestly it is a form of defending ashley at this point, lets defer all our anger at our shitty owner cos soon a magical takeover is going to happen. I hope it does, but it gets less likely over time not more. I swear to god it rips me to shreds, i take no joy.
