Takeover Thread - July 1st statement, Staveley letter to Tracey Crouch (and response) in OP


Recommended Posts

Take the GB News bs to the Positive Thread. You can be all positive about them as much as you'd like there. Absolutely crazy stuff calling them great.

Equivalent of calling Steve Bruce great.

GB news so powerful in outing the stupid and the intolerant. Seems we've caught another one. When someone professes their support for it, it really is a massive red flag about them as a human being.

 

Just a hive of Brexity, racist, anti-mask, intolerant dickheads.

In the letter, which is likely to be released more widely later on Sunday, Ms Staveley criticised the use of confidential arbitration processes to resolve disputes within football before adding: "One might justifiably ask why that model is so favoured by those responsible for regulating the sport if they have nothing to hide."

 

Ms Staveley's letter to Ms Crouch, the former sports minister, contains her most outspoken comments so far about her proposed takeover.

 

In it, she wrote: "Fans surely deserve absolute transparency from the regulators across all their processes - to best ensure that they act responsibly.

 

"They are performing a function like that of a government regulator - but without the same systems for accountability."

 

Ms Staveley said that there was now "a chance for those involved [in the Newcastle United bid] to be seen to take a robust stance - just as the government so decisively and effectively stepped into the European Super League debacle".

 

"But there is real urgency - given the NUFC arbitration hearing is due to take place this month," she told Ms Crouch.

 

"We need intervention immediately to force the issue out into the open.

 

"It is my view that it is likely that that would be enough to make those involved behave more responsibly and signal the government's intention to take effective action in the interests of the country.

We'll see what comes of the rest of the letter later to judge its impact! Jamie Reuben's in favour of the letter too

 

"The consortium, which also includes the wealthy businessman Jamie Reuben, has maintained its interest in a deal, however.

Mr Reuben is understood to be supportive of Ms Staveley's letter."

Staveley getting involved now kinda dispels any suggestion that it's just Mike out for compo. 

Is she not poised to lose her deposit if it fails? £17m or something? Honestly can't remember.

So the takeover is ON?

 

And its always been ON.

 

Theres also what appears to be a co-ordinated effort to turn the screw. Interesting.

worst case scenario : The takeover was inside us all along and the new owners are the friends we made along the way.
