I want to know why the consortium were so confident, even given private assurances supposedly that there were "no red flags" when that clearly was not the case, later on in the process Expand To be fair the PL never gave any indication there were any red flags because even the Government thought it was going through. Little be known the PL were just stalling, and that was the very start of them doing so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouldy_uk Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I just love the thought of him hunting around for objects/images to convey his secret messages ’fucking hell, it’s a barrier and it’s been knocked down, perfect for today!!’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s far too self aware for these shots and the excitement they generate in some sections of our support, to be doing it all accidentally. The cans and the dropped barrier are obvious nods to the takeover process. What’s important to remember though is that it’s very very one sided the noise that we are hearing, the premier league may be just as confident.

Expand Yeah, saw that one too. The barrier to overseas investment is down, perhaps? Friday's was the big one for me though. The message I took from it was "waiting for the green light". Now, people can scoff, and I'm not saying that it means it's definitely happening, but I'd say an agreement of some kind could be on offer, mainly from Ashley's side. Sign it to make the CAT go away? De Marco's body language and facial expression is that of someone steadfastly focused on waiting for something to happen. Resting back, arms folded, shirt cuff pulled back to reveal his watch. And he is staring intensely at the word "green". All to a backdrop of traffic lights, all on green. On his right is a table with a watch and a pen. He was basically saying an agreement is on the table waiting to be signed off, but there is a time constraint to getting that deal done before things get ugly. And that deadline is the day before before arbitration starts, because if that goes ahead then so does the CAT, if the jurisdiction verdict allows it. Oh yeah, and the street is Medina Villas. You know, THAT Medina. In Saudi Arabia. Where any google search of the name brings up an image of the Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, a mosque with a massive green dome.

Pokerprince2004 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Wild guess but I wonder if these subtle hints by Di Marco is perhaps his way of telling us that the Premier League's attempt at getting the CAT thrown out was rejected and that this was the 'barrier' that had been knocked down.

Wandy Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Like I say, I believe that at least 95% of his tweeted photos over the last 10 months have had bugger all to do with NUFC. But I just feel there is something in this one, lol. He knows that his twitter audience is NUFC fans and that everything he posts is analysed. He can't be so unprofessional as to go leaking info left, right and centre so he drops a bit of info in just now and again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 If he has really done all of that deliberately, then I for one would like De Marco to be the next manager of NUFC. Imagine how he'd signal his pre match team selections through the spectrum of artistic photographs, or perhaps interpretive dance. What a press conference that would be. As opposed to Steve Bruce telling us what he once thought whilst he was on the toilet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
