LV Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I get that Ando has history in getting lineups right. Whether that means he has a line into the takeover is a different matter. And what are Mimms’ credentials? Anyone remember? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 We don’t care if they are being truthful or just spouting shit. The sad state is, it’s the only respite we have got in this whole depressing club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad state is, it’s the only respite we have got in this whole depressing club. We shouldn't be encouraging people to spout even more shit If these guys genuinely believe their sources are legit then fair enough, but I'd rather people didn't make up rumours only for it to be bullshit as that increases the depression rather than alleviate it.

Jackie Broon Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I get that Ando has history in getting lineups right. Whether that means he has a line into the takeover is a different matter. And what are Mimms’ credentials? Anyone remember? He said there was going to be an announcement one way or the other about a week before the club announced that the PL had rejected the takeover. He also knew about Ryan Fraser's arrival before anyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Interesting if this is the type of thing we might expect if the takeover happens OVG JOINS FORCES WITH CO-OP TO DEVELOP THE UK’S BIGGEST AND MOST EXCITING NEW ARENA IN MANCHESTER We’re delighted to announce a 15-year partnership with the Co-op on the development of one of the most sustainable and socially responsible arenas in Europe. Our exciting proposals deliver a £350million private investment, thousands of jobs, and help continue the regeneration of the Eastlands area, with a projected boost to the local economy of £1.5bn over the next 20 years. The partnership, which will see the arena named Co-op Live, will generate around £1m in donations to good causes, distributed via the Co-op Foundation. The arena will support Manchester’s net zero carbon agenda and help to tackle food poverty via a zero-food waste initiative. Once open, Co-op will offer its members a host of exclusive benefits, including access to pre-sale tickets, discounts on food and beverage, and the chance to win free tickets and exclusive, money can’t buy, backstage VIP experiences.

When we had Rafa, we lived on with Ashley but at least the team was worth of our supporters. But with Bruce, this is just unpalatable to a point I don't care Ashley is still our owner. Bruce is arrogant, blames everyone else bar himself and is a bag of shit excuses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I don't care if someone is just making things up and stringing us a long (don't think they are for what it's worth) But this potential takeover is the only hope left. As someone else said I'm not going to bother caring and getting flustered over how shit Bruce is because it's all irrelevant unless this goes through. If it does I just hope there's still time left in the season to salvage something and avoid relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does I just hope there's still time left in the season to salvage something and avoid relegation. I dont even get angry at Bruce. He's a shit manager, we knew that when he came here, always has been always will be. If we get shot of him the next manager will be of similar shitness. Mike Ashley is the 1 who employs the likes of Bruce and Charnley. He is the one responsible for ALL of our problems. Until he goes we will remain an utterly pointless club which is why I fucking pray, Nick Di Marco sorts this takeover out. Will he? I have no idea but I cling onto the hope as it's all we have left as Newcastle fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Inching forward. Not quite #cans but some progress has been made in last 24-48 hours. Got a feeling that 'Post of the Year' will eventually belong to you. Just saying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Progress I mentioned is due to a different direction that the lawyers have explored/exploited. Hope you're right Mimms. Hoping your not stringing people along (not suggesting you are) as this whole takeover saga has wounded me. From the euphoria if thinking we're going to be the richest club in the world to the crushing realisation that we're stuck with Ashley. Fingers crossed anyway.

Does what your hearing make you confident this will happen ? It’s made the buying side much more positive (although we know they’ve been positive a number of times and we know that the outcome wasn’t good) Staveley now thinks this gets done before Xmas with the latest lawyer news.
