NEEJ Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 The sneering tone from the non-North East media is so difficult to take Like fucking who? What a dick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Now that we know Ashley is a willing seller, he better do everything in his power to find a suitable buyer. He wants out. He's made it clear now. This was during covid and the threat there would be no football/money. Its back now so no reason to sell imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Staveley insisted: “The piracy issue was not an issue but we tried to resolve it anyway. Not an issue! What was all the fuss about?! Thanks for that Mandy pet! Read the Times article pal, football royalty clubs in the PL were putting pressure on behind the scenes. Football is a serious business, did you think the big boys were just going to sit back and let someone else roll in with big bucks without any opposition?

Big Geordie Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Perhaps today will go down as the day that NUFC in it's present incarnation, finally died. Henry Winters talks of other interest but who in their right mind is going to believe them? Having the hope of things finally changing for the better taken away from you, is a real kick in the balls. Supporters will continue to abandon this club in droves and it deserves it. Ashley won't be able to fill the place with free tickets, once supporters are allowed back in. Cannny day at the office for him, mind - banking £17million for nothing. He's won again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penn Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 So either: (a) PL gave their approval but Ashley agreed a higher price with Mauriss, which PIF wouldn't match (b) PL didn't give their approval but it was because of Saudi involvement, rather than piracy. Is that right? Like so much on here, (a) is a forum fever dream that has absolutely no basis in reality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Ashley who doesn't want the club is going to be even more destructive than the Ashley who treat it as a cash cow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Take care guys. Good luck to those following the team after this still. I wish everyone well. But like others this was the last straw for me. I've been slowly caring less and less over the Ashley years, there was a glimmer of hope with Rafa and then this potential takeover but its over. Such a shame, for something I have had a massive passion for since a very young age. Perhaps now I can put the hours of time wasted over Newcastle into something more productive.

mrmojorisin75 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 In a way fair play to the Saudi's like and I suppose it was a bit obvious in hindsight they'd not continue to have the piss publicly ripped out of them. Had hoped the Qatar angle would been enough but clearly not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 How can they now go in for Man Utd? Nothing to stop them if it turns out we were screwed over by Ashley's greed, plus the top clubs wouldn't be bothered with stopping Man Utd as they're already at the table of big spenders.

Been on here since 2005 almost every day and I've had enough of this club now under this horrible cunt. We spend everyday coming on the forum hoping for something better for what? Good luck guys.

Gutted, but expected, this happened. EPL exsists only for the top 6. The rest are just there for the rich to collect points from and farm players from. Good luck to those that continue supporting. You must really love torturing yourself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 If there are other bidder in the ring, which in itself is dubious, I really hope that Mauriss guy isn't one otlf them, he just seems like Stewart Donald MK2. My preference has always been that Mexican group tbh. Not sure what happened to them mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
