manorpark Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 If the takeover doesn't happen, then the PL and the Top 6 closed shop fucked us over. End of. To give the "Big Six" their full name - The "Sky Big Picture Six". They are rarely the actual 'top' six, but yes they are "trying" to f**k us over, but they definitely WILL NOT succeed.

Dr Jinx Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 What was BZG/I’s plan? They didn’t have the money to buy a bag of chips let alone a football club. Seems like they were intent on blagging their way to a point where they could start borrowing against it’s value. It’s so weird how a supposed Sheikh and his business cronies would ruin their reputation for something so unattainable for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Forgot about the takeover Same here. I think this past week was the first week since all the takeover carry on started where I haven't really given it any thought. I think I've just come round to the acceptance of it not happening now. Stopped going to the matches completely after Benitez left, stopped even watching them on TV during this season, the Brentford game being the straw that broke the camels back, and now there's only this place where I have any sort of connection with the club. I've even stopped any NUFC chat on twitter as it tends to be full of idiots. I can see a full divorce in the near future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 This could be my last season as an active fan. When lockdown ends and you’re allowed to do something else, there’s really very little reason to follow us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Its just this place, betting and some daft mackems piping up now and then which keeps me remotely interested in NUFC at any level. If this place shut down I probably would pack in football all together, especially come next year when I won't be working in Sunderland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 This could be my last season as an active fan. When lockdown ends and you’re allowed to do something else, there’s really very little reason to follow us. A mate of mine texted me a GET IN! last night after the Fulham game. To be honest I didn't even know the score. I just replied asking him if he didn't think it was a bit sad that he'd spent this season celebrating results from other games more than he had Newcastles results.

Hardly even bother watching the match. Got rid of sky sports last year and can't stand watching Steve fucking Bruce spout his bullshit. I cam honestly say I've put no money onto the club since Rafa left and I won't until Ashley has gone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Pundit Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I feel sick to my stomach that once again we're sleep walking in to relegation, for the third time under Ashley and once again could be avoided. But then it's not the relegation that's killing me, not really, it's the losing out yet again on a takeover which could quite easily have propelled us to the upper echelons of the game. First Ashley fucks off Mansour so he buys Man City, then he cuts corners on keeping us in the league to get us sold to what would be the richest owners in the world. Sweet fucking Jesus, what have we done to deserve this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I think the fact Ashley hasn't sacked Bruce should tell you everything as to how likely this takeover is to happen. If there was even a small chance Bruce would have been gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED209 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I agree. It’s done. Surely any prospective buyer with half a brain would have told Ashley to give Bruce the bullet or the deal is 100% off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 What makes it worse is relegation removes any hope (however small it was) of getting rid of Ashley - he has a price in his head of what he wants for the club and he won't get that in the championship.

Happinesstan Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Wouldn't be surprised if he's been an absolute tosser throughout negotiations and they're just stringing him along for the shits and giggles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candi_Hills Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Not sure why we're writing this off again. It was always said that relegation wouldn't necessarily prevent a sale - a mere "pain in the arse" if you believe Caulkin. Bruce staying and us getting pumped hasn't changed anything. Let's just see what happens, eh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
