At least those who are negative/cynical give reasoning behind their opinions. You just drop in every few days to make the same bullshit statement, knowing fine well it will just irritate everyone, and then bugger off again for a few days. You are a troll.

It's going to be interesting to see how committed and what any future plans are if the arbitration case doesn't go their way. Will things get ugly and carry on, or will it be a case of that's it dead and buried. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to Staveleys case against Barlclays btw, did she just lose the whole thing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candi_Hills Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) I thought Keith made it pretty clear last week that he gets all his craic from QC O’Donoghue. I was a bit worried at first that he had some Micky Mouse solicitor on it, like Warwick Davis and his accountant. Just a hypothetical... If we steam roller them in count or they fold and agree to settle at the first whiff of disclosure, would your opinion of Keith change? It would after all mean he was right all along - rock solid case, never in doubt etc. Edited June 2, 2021 by Candi_Hills Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does go down the pan and PIF back away for good, you get the feeling Staveley and the Reubans will be out there looking for other investors (which could take god knows how long). We just need this to work, so we as a club can just move on instead of this purgatory we have been stuck in for the last year. One way or another, this just needs ending. Not sure about Staveley's case, was she going to appeal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the way he holds himself that is the problem. He's making himself, and therefore the rest of us, look ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that we want to envision a world where PIF walk away forever, but I’m wondering how long it will be until Staveley (with or without the Ruebens) decides to try one of those leveraged buyouts the Glazers made look so savvy?

Guest reefatoon Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Remember way back last year when this was all looking a formality and we were saying it hadn't been announced yet as the pubs were closed and it would cause chaos. They are obviously just waiting until June 21st before announcing so everyone can celebrate properly. The Premier League were thinking about us the whole time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 The judge said that Barclays had acted deceptively and improperly but didn't award her any damages on some technicality.

Troll. I don't normally respond to posts like this. I have explained the facts and the logic of my conclusions so many times in the past, I am the exact and precise opposite of (what you describe) a "Troll". While trying not to repeat myself, the current run of events leads me to the ever more certain belief that it is only a matter of time until our Takeover is approved, the logical conclusion of all of this is - Approval. I dislike the vitriol that is addressed - without foundation - at people like me, Whitley, and Keith. There is no need for it, it is irrational, and I wish you would just stop. Having said that, if you choose to continue, then so be it, that attitude will have no impact on the Takover, it is just unnecessary and disappointing. We are all Newcastle United Supporters, can some of you on here not remember that when considering a response to people who believe (very) differently from you about NUFCs imminent future.

andyc35i Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Imagine this place if the takeover actually does happen. It’s going to be even more ridiculous than it has been at times, but at least we will all be arguing about which formation to get the best out of Haaland....

There is glaring evidence out there right now that it's going to be an uphill struggle to win. The club has a chance but the odds are 50/50 at best.

I can only talk about myself personally but I did get wound up by them too in the early days but as time has worn on, it's been easy to just scroll past them and not be bothered by them.
