andyc35i Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 So basically, what PIFs statement is saying is they've been dicked around for so long they've decided to ditch it. I blame the prem for this, should never have taken this long. How very typically Newcastle United. It’s absolutely insane that this would happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Have to put in a rule disallowing countries from owning football clubs to avoid this happening again. Feel sorry for the people who got their hopes up Yeah, we desperately need reform of football club ownership. Things that mean this much to communities shouldn't be the playthings of random billionaires, it's completely wrong. It obviously won't happen of course. I'm not so sure they're even random, anymore. Lots of politics involved in a lot of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Even though this felt the inevitable it is still a kick in balls. Surely if PIF/PCP are nervous about future investment as well nobody else will bother. Never mind lads we have the defacto Manager of the Season in charge.

Interpolic Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Didn't think I'd care but feel physically sick for some reason. Thought there were exciting times ahead but we're back to this bullshit. Fuck the PL and fuck NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I am so, so sorry I put all my info about this on Twitter last night rather than on here. Big mistake 😩 Is it safe to say that between the PL's dithering and Ashleys greed (after terms expired) that's what killed it GM? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance they’ll return? No chance they'll deal with Ashley again mate nor the fat cunt will deal with Staveley either, much to Puke's delight.

Andy Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Ehhh, makes you wonder how committed to investing they were if they've pulled the plug anyway. Obviously the PL have been a disgrace in how long they've taken to make a call on this - but I can't help but feel that if these guys were going to push us on as a club, they would've stuck in there more than a few months. It's not like waiting it out was costing them significant money, so the "global uncertainty" line suggests that the desire to fund once the sale went through may not have been there anyway. They clearly didn't have the confidence that the deal would ever be approved either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Its not just the EPL's fault this, its all those who wrote and ran campaign against it, for many different reasons, they are responsible for not just the club but the whole city missing out in a once in a life time opportunity to gain a game changing investment.
