Awaymag Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Just read it. Nowt we didn't already know - Test is confidential - No definitive timescale given - Bid was publicly withdrawn so no need for a final decision So what did the premier league actually do for 17 weeks. Sounds like nothing to me and then in june decided to challenge who would actually own NUFC. Fucking farce! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no conspiracy here, ultimately it looks like PIF have been obstructive for their own reasons to the process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that any future bid may or may not pass the test. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not admit it but we have been screwed and so the fans have nothing to look forward to .....except free signings.

Sima Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Depends how reasonable the questions were, no? Maybe but I don't think PIF will be forthcoming with complete honesty tbh. They rightly don't want to expose themselves diplomatically on what would be a low level investment for them. Truth be told, my theory is it's been determined that it's not worth the hassle for them to take us over as it would compromise more valuable interests elsewhere.

gdm Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Shame they didn’t ask how Martin Samuels knew exactly what was going to be in the letter to Chi 24 hours before. The PL are snakes.

Yeah I’m certainly not taking Masters answers at face value, he’s hardly going to admit they said no red flags or there has been outside influence. In saying that I would like a more in depth response to what PL has come out with since last Friday from the consortium, instead of just sources close to them providing snippets.

gdm Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Sadly there not going to be any resolution to this. Newcastle fans have to yet again just put up with it. Not many positives other than Ashley definately wants to sell and the fanbase seem united for once. Other than that fuck next season and fuck the PL.

Nowt we didn't already know - Test is confidential - No definitive timescale given - Bid was publicly withdrawn so no need for a final decision Yep. If you won't answer the questions asked, there's no way we can wave the deal through. And to be honest that's right to protect the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I still think it's telling that there's been no comment, official or otherwise, by Staveley since the letter from Masters. You imagine if she's legit that there's a lot of holes in what Masters said to pick at. Such as what happened between March and June (?) when they queried the ownership structure. What happened between that point and PiF withdrawal? Did the consortium provide timely answers and the PL drag their heels with responses and clarifications or the other way round? Find it hard to believe she wouldn't have something to say if this was completely dead in the water having gone to blame the PL so clearly from the off. She doesn't think it's dead basically.

It’s dead in its current form imo. I don’t see the PIF returning to the table. they are clearly affronted by whet the PL is requesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
