TK-421 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 He steps down as chairman, which means theres no link anymore between PIF and the Saudi Gov / Royal Family, thus takeoevr can proceed as only hurdle PL mentioned was MBS undergoing O&D test? #Clutching Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 https://www.arabnews.com/node/1797696/saudi-arabia Nailed on to be confirmation that we’ve been taken over, Bruce has been dismissed and Benitez is new manager.

PlymouthGeordie Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 There you go. It's nowt. If anything, it frustratingly adds credence to the PL's concerns that he has ultimate control of the fund. If he didnt, why is he announcing their investment strategy?

Yelevats Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 The appointment of Jones (and if Edwards is believed with the blessing of Bruce) and now this. Joining the dots is leading towards Mike Ashley being here a lot longer. Depressing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlymouthGeordie Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Im absolutely f***ing sick of this now man. f***ing buy the place , let them buy us ffs I’m going round the b****** bend with all this Either yes or fuking no , we all need to know . Agreed. Bruce is just exacerbating the whole thing too. We are clueless under him, his pre and post match sound bites are awful to listen to and just highlight how out of touch and inept he is. Relegation this year will just finish the club off. There is no money to retain high earners in the championship unlike previous relegations and there is no way Ashley will fund us to a level where promotion is nailed on. For the life of me I don't understand how he still has a job. It really is takeover or bust. Interestingly, George Caulkin said last night that he expects arbitration to be sorted one way or the other by the end of February so at least that will help bring some clarity.

toon25 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Or, Ashley doesn't want to invest any more and is doing the bare minimum to keep the club up.

Miggys First Goal Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 If this doesn’t go through and we get relegated, Ashley needs to seriously lower his asking price for the club. If he’s that desperate to get us off his hands. Be realistic about how much we’re worth in the Championship you idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelevats Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 The reality of the situation is that this isn't going to go through. Premier League has completely shafted the whole club and city. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I said it earlier, even if what needs to happen this coming week, happens, the PL will do a bunch of other things to stop it going through. One of it would be this seperation of power for the O&D Test. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

InspectorCoarse Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 As a non believer ( in the takeover ) the only rational thing to do ( assuming no other credible buyers appear on the horizon ) is hope we go down , then go down again , until such time as we are no longer a feasible advertising hoarding for fattys businesses . Until then its pintless getting your hopes up over anything Nufc related Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Yeah, that statement doesn't help things at all. Edwards is a cunt though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Luke Edwards really is a poor journalist. Where has it ever said MBS isn't anything to do with PIF? The problem is the PL think PIF can be influenced by the state. (e.g financially) This is what is needed to be proven. It has nothing to do with MBS being the chairman.

Whitley mag Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Do they need to prove separation anymore though if they can’t link govt to piracy ? I’m quite sure Staveley said they offered to put whole of PIF board forward for the test. Once the PL can’t link govt to piracy I’m not so sure this insistence on separation will be an issue anymore. Regardless I’m quite sure De Marco and Fatima have a game plan for this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
