Ashley17 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I had been a believer but the day Caulkin said Justin Barnes was the consortium’s source the penny dropped for me. Ashley has £17m from them, will go to court for as long as it takes (the longer it goes on the less pressure he gets from the fans, he’s trying you know…) to probably get more compensation somewhere down the road. If the Saudi’s are still interested after all that he gets £350m too, or the circus rolls on for more years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 By the end of this year Ashley will be sitting in Miami without a care in the world, he'll probably have one of his daughters fuck buddies running the show from London. This particular takeover is knackered and once he gets his compensation it wouldn't surprise me if he sells us to one of those skint Americans using borrowed money and keeps his finger in the pie with a percentage.

I cannot for the life of me understand these people who say "can't wait to be back". What can't they wait for exactly? Watching bruceball as we scrap for 40 points as the protected big 6 that we're not allowed to compete with pull further and further away? If the Premier league/big 6 get their way this is how it'll be for decades. The big 6 and then 14 other clubs (any clubs, they don't care who) who are just cannon fodder for the big 6. Sorry like but that's not football to me which is why I'll be completely turning my back on it all if/when it's confirmed our takeover is off.

Ashley17 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Whilst all that is true, the pandemic has, in an odd way, worked out well for Ashley from an NUFC point of view. Fans have had 18 months of not being able to go and going is normality for them. It’s the day out, it’s seeing family and friends in the pub and everyone is sick of sitting inside alone. So I think there’s a feeling of seeing what it would be like without their ticket and putting all feelings aside. I haven’t been since Rafa left and I won’t be rushing back any time soon but if I wake up one day and fancy watching ASM before he leaves then I probably will.

I doubt it would remain that way should we win the anti competition case. Surely heads would roll. Anyone should be allowed to compete if they can. Not denied to protect a select few.

Dr Jinx Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 There’s literally nothing but misery when it comes to this club, hand on heart, do any of you think we’re going to win the lottery and get this takeover? At this point in time it’s a stretch you’d have to say. We don’t get nice things. There’s no fairytale, well not when it comes to this club, especially with the owner, who’s been given quite an easy pass considering the absolute shite this team have served up due to his decision making. (Manager, transfer policy etc) Honestly think it’s best now if we draw a line under the debacle and channel the anger back on the owner. We laughed at West Ham when the fans stormed the pitch a few years back.. how can you not argue that it was effective? They are light years ahead of us now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
