LV Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 This ain’t happening anytime soon. We are rapidly heading towards the championship. This just ain’t happening It would seem the current club hierarchy have no expectations for it to be done this season. Think today's developments make that abundantly clear.

SUPERTOON Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 At least it might help put to bed the takeover is close rubbish that keeps getting put out there by various ITKs. It’s clearly nowhere near and probably not on at all by the time the season ends. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I think it's more to do with this "Given any exit for Bruce would run up a seven-figure bill and bringing in a new manager would require further funding, Ashley is reluctant to shake things up at the moment especially with the club losing millions in lost gate money and match day revenue." I really can't see it still going on in April/May. It'll either be done or dead by then imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggys First Goal Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Laugh all you like. They won’t buy a club in the championship and Ashley would rather try get the club back up than dare lower his price. It’s just delusional to think otherwise If this is the case, I wonder if the asking price gets dramatically lowered if we don’t return to the PL at the first try.

Wandy Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 If the club stays up, we get taken over. It's as simple as that. Bruce is now the main threat to that happening. https://www.blackstonechambers.com/news/nick-de-marco-qc-and-jason-pobjoy-feature-lawyer-hot-100/ A little reminder that DeMarco is rather good at his job and is still "acting for Newcastle United FC in relation to the club’s proposed Saudi takeover"...

Its really not that simple though. We have no idea what De Marco is working in relation to, we don't know whether the reported issues blocking the takeover (Piracy and MBS as a director) are going to be resolved and we don't know the result of an arbitration, or even what the arbitration will prove. I do agree that its imperative that we stay up this season though in order for any progress to be made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he completely wrong? We're certainly heading down. Of course we are. It's nervous laughter. I once laughed in school when a kid said his Nana died. Not a great day.

He already knows this, it's literally happened to him twice already. He just falsely believes that we'll somehow scrape 17th with a loan signing or two and that what we've seen so far is just bad luck rather than a result of rancid team management.

Candi_Hills Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Ashley has always sacked the manager when we've entered the death spiral and he's always been quite ambitious with his Hail Mary appointments.

What we all need to do is get behind Bruce 100%, be really clear as a fanbase that he's one of us, we fully support him and believe he can take us forward. He'd be gone in an instant!

toon25 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 "[manager] going nowhere" is an obligatory statement issued by every club before sacking their manager. True. But this isn't even the club or Thumb Cunt/Ashley publicly 'backing' Bruce. It's still a load of trumped up shite that journos piece together for a few clicks.

I feel sure that all of the legalities and quarrels will be resolved by the end of the season and after that its just a case of whether we are still a PL club or not.
