Miggys First Goal Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Aye, from reading that, Ashley isn’t really the problem for once. Yes, he increased the price, but they were willing to pay it. Premier League wholly to blame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 So basically, is a bunch of morally bankrupt pricks, and Mike Ashley is a money grabbing dick. Who'd have thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premier League wholly to blame. PL officials were just representing the interests of their other member clubs, and obviously felt that an NUFC with such powerful backing was not good for those other clubs.

Joe_F Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Eh, I thought the whole problem was the PL didn't want state involvement which this seems to contradict. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Should buy the club in anyway, then see how far the Premier League can take it, see exactly how much power they have, the answer is fuck all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Could have done without that last bullet point Point 2 makes it worse for me. Buyers were effectively happy to pay whatever was necessary to get the club. Can't wait for more messages from my mate, telling me how Liverpool are PL champions, CL champions, World Club Champions etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 curious to see if the premier league will have their own briefings in the press in the next few days, all we've heard so far is the Stavely and co camps view on things which while informative is only half the story. Anything from Ashleys pov is pointless as he appears to be a negligible to non factor in this failing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Eh, I thought the whole problem was the PL didn't want state involvement which this seems to contradict. That would make sense, that way they could ask them to do something about the piracy issues in KSA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was well known from the start that they were only interested in protecting their clubs. Everything they say will be a fucking lie trying to deflect blame. I hope SA tell the U.K. government that there will be no more trade at all until this is approved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing NUFC barred from the PL would be no loss far as I'm concerned. They couldn’t do it. No court in the land would back the Premier League as it’s not allowing free trade, it would be like the FFP rules, test it in law and it falls apart.

junkhead Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Maybe it's the kg of chocolate I've consumed tonight but I'm more f***ed off with the PL than I am with Ashley in what's happened today. Same. Its hard to say it but I blame them 100% in this situation. Of course. They've been bribed from the start. Like I warned the second fucking Hatice got involved. So that's how they're hosting the world cup in the winter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Mind, there’s intense pressure and blame at the feet of the PL tonight. Apparently the buyers met on Tuesday to talk about releasing a statement to put pressure on the pl, but Drastically decided to call the whole thing off, and lose £17m. Or, this is the pressure but turned up to 11. We’ve had talk of other clubs interfering, pl moving goalposts, asking for KSA to be named as directors rather than pif...at the very least it sets up for an epic court case in which the pl will lose, though I think what may come out of this is lots of phone calls between parties including our government asking wtf are the pl playing at. Wouldn’t be surprised if Ashley is in on it to. Keeps the £17m and fresh terms are agreed. Either way A shitshow has just been unleashed and it’s all firmly at the door of the PL, but I don’t think it’s over, certainly not for the pl anyway.

Is there any way you can get BeOUTQ in the UK? I'm planning on quitting subsidising Sky and other leading PL clubs, so will happily contribute to piracy if there's a way of doing it.

Wolfcastle Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Ashley is 'distraught' yet still tried to extort more money out of them as soon as the deadline passed. f***ing die you t***. I hope this all comes crashing down around him. Distraught he f***ed himself over hopefully greedy c*** I doubt he's bothered to reflect on his own contributions. He'll be raging at all the other parties. Currently plotting his revenge, which will involve taking every opportunity to damage the reputation of the PL every time NUFC appear on global TV. A good one would be to employ an embarrassing ar*ehole as manager and have him play the most turgid depressing football known to man with a clown of a record signing in a morgue of an atmosphere.
