Jackie Broon Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Doesnt staveley still have that deposit/charge wotsit from MASH? If the takeover was a dead duck then this would have been returned shirley? Isnt that non-refundable, or am i thinking of something else Nee idea. It's structured as a £150m loan agreement from St James Holdings to PCP Capital Partners, part of the loan agreement is a ring-fenced deposit of £13m paid by PCP. The loan is still registered as an unsatisfied charge for PCP on Companies House: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/OC311146/charges Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK as a positive spin on it Jacobs said "Told this doesn't end their interest in #NUFC"...Thought that Sounded positive to me?...Others in the thread has suggested they may be looking at Inter, not as a replacement to us, but as an addition......Brief view of thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Tbh just my opinion but not sure I want the club to grouped in with other clubs. At least Man City’s owners were buying non European teams and lower league European teams. I don’t particularly want to have the same owners as inter Milan or whoever else they want to buy. I want Newcastle to be unique. Again just my opinion but I suppose it’s got to be better than Mike Ashley owning us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 In a newer tweet, he says that he senses that PIF are growing tired of what’s happening with NUFC (who can blame them?) but he has been told they haven’t walked away yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Aye I know it can be overly dour in here but that doesn’t sound positive in the slightest. Definately sounds like staveley & Ruebens are pushing for this whereas PIF have started looking at different opportunities while keeping an eye on the arbitration case Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 That seems incredibly fair and reasoned. They move on with their bigger picture while we just figure our shit out - or don't - over here. We're a small part of the overall plan, whether we like to think so or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stozo Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Agree. I also think this is lots of talk filling a vacuum - either this gets done this Spring or it's not going to get done. Nothing whatsoever unexpected about the Saudis taking steps to prepare for the eventuality that it doesn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Fair enough to those still optimistic but I’m struggling to see how pif making moves to invest in other/bigger football clubs can be viewed as positive or unrelated to our endlessly stalling takeover attempt.

Fantail Breeze Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Even the most optimistic person can read that and he unconcerned surely? *the full thread not just that single tweet. Why would it be bad news? It shows they're serious about getting into football. Owning Inter Milan and Newcastle would never work. The fact they are seeking out the possibility of Inter tells you everything you need to know. Groups with more than one team tend to own a big club and then multiple small clubs, to avoid the possibility of them both qualifying for the same competition. Girona and Troyes for example, are probably not going to be playing CL football any time soon. Even if they did ever qualify, CFG would probably pull them out of it to ensure Man City could play.

Danh1 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Interesting that they only want a stake in Inter Milan of 30% and not full ownership. Is there something in the rules around having two clubs with more than that and them not being allowed to play each other perhaps? Fuck knows.

I thought that too but Red Bull have had teams play each other in Europe or is that different? The only difference between Leipzig and Salzburg is that the Red Bull owner owns one directly and the other through Red Bull, although he would ultimately own Red Bull in anyway. I think the Red Bull teams show how there would be a way to work around it if required. There was similar concerns when we qualified for Europe and Ashley owned 10% of Rangers.

Kanj Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Quite simple. Still interested, but opportunity presents a reality of the vision to acquire a football team or investment into it. Tony's article + Ben's tweets today have been quite reassuring that it isn't all doom and gloom. Staying in the PL is still the #1 priority and hopefully the rest falls into place.
