The key constant is Ashley is thick as fuck when it comes to owning a football club. He will believe we still can stay up and be dumbfounded if we get relegated again, but still think we can come back up with modest investment after selling certain stars post relegation. He deserves missing out in coming back up first time and taking on a second year in Championship to really hurt him. Else its just a minor inconvenience he will hope to avoid for another 5 years if we come straight back up. As long as we are in the PL we will be over priced to those that can pass PL owners test and buy us. He will only sell if it's a massive loss to him owning it. Few years in Championship might be what does it, better than another decade of shite managers and flirting with relegation and going nowhere in the PL.

Yeah, he may. But we don’t. So let’s hope it doesn’t happen.

Premier league/fan money/their ‘Ahl wi smiling faces’ next to an SD sign is what keeps him here. No prospect of mass boycott. Whatever breaks that cycle. Takeover obviously the most convenient.

Not that long ago, I might have thought there was something positive to take from that.
Now I feel nothing. Bored and fed up with it all.

Yeah to be honest I wish he would shut the fuck up with his tweets. It could come back to bite him in the arse if he fails to win the arbitration case and the swarm of twitter trolls hit his account en masse. Probably not be that bothered mind with his huge fee in his back pocket.

What could come back to bite him in the arse? Is he not allowed to bake some bread and post about it online like [emoji38]

You wait and see, if the arbitration fails, all the twitter trolls will come out and hit his account direct. Not going to be a good look if that happens.

Was it someone on here that mentioned RedBird Capital? Liverpool have seemingly benefitted from investment by them to go back to pre-COVID spending...

Redball is the group looking for a takeover, RedBird are an investment group

Bump, for all your negative needs. 

Don't accept this idea Ashley wouldn't lie about the store closures being due to what the "new owners" want.  If he can convince staff it's not his decision then they're not going to eb able to argue about it or take legal action.

The British government believed a decision on the Saudi funded Newcastle United takeover was just hours away in June 2020 - and had organised a top-level Whitehall meeting in anticipation.

In emails sent to the Premier League, officials from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) stated several times that sources believed a decision was 'imminent.'
