At the end of the day it will boil down to the two legal cases only. If it was down to external parties it would have been done by now. The government has already came out and said they will not interfere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 The only thing that will make any sort of difference is a mass revolt, either storm the pitch at SJP and disrupt a premier league game (or games..), or have it postponed, or storm their offices. As neither is likely to happen I think it’s safe to say they don’t fear any retribution for whatever part they have in fucking this club/city over.

The only likely difference that will make is guaranteed relegation when we're docked points. Takeover impact, not so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 The removal of Hoffman would make no difference whatsoever, the Premier league board is just a facade to cover the real people that run the show, the top 6. Masters and Hoffman would be removed in a heartbeat if they didn't do their job of blocking the takeover. It's dead because the top 6 don't want it as it would impact their ability to make more money, the fact it would bring investment into the region means nothing. Its over and the sooner people realise that the sooner they can get on with their lives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbthree3 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Dowden was a mixture of diplomacy and disappointment about the Premier League’s slow process in deciding whether the Saudi takeover of Newcastle should go through. “The Premier League had its fit and proper persons test and they’re going through that. I want them to get on with it. They need to do it quickly and transparently. They should have done it quicker, yes.” Just a fleeting mention but it's nice for acknowledgement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As fans can we directly influence the 2 actions no, but we can try and keep it in the public spotlight in the interim. Fans could absolutely bring big pressure by protesting at match and causing disruption, but unfortunately I’ve reconciled myself to the fact St James is full of card board cut outs these days and there is no appetite for this. Yes the top 6 do not want the takeover but they won’t have any influence on fan led review or judges. Respect if you’ve had enough, but plenty left to fight for and plenty still willing to fight.

They should be publicly inviting not only NUST, but also every single member of the new trust board. Edited August 28, 2021 by Joey Linton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I could see your point if the top 6 didn't have private meetings without the other members to employ Masters and Hoffman, it's a closed shop, delay and distract is the tactic and no amount of meetings in the Irish center will change that.

Yeah clearly nothings changed they were allowed to agree their own fines and still clearly run the show. However, I think their delay tactics will run out providing consortium and Ashley hold their nerve. in the meantime I’m a great believer in fans still trying to keep this in public domain, any pressure is good pressure and shows consortium we are still fully behind them in process.

I said it a few weeks ago, thing that will put the most pressure on is if the Saudis, Reubans and Staverly came out with a statement confirming there desire to takeover the club and are prepared to wait to do it.

Stifler Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Hoffman almost single handedly brought the global economic crash of 2007 to the U.K. through his reckless running of Northern Rock. I’m doing so he damaged the North East economy massively as many people and businesses held accounts with Northern Rock here in the North East. He has since been involved with other banks, and is now the chairman of Monzo. He is in bed the Premier League’s foreign broadcasters who are ran by the same people who have been proved to have bought the right to host the next Word Cup through corruption and have infiltrated UEFA so much that they now allow PSG to flout every FFP rule going without any consequences. If the guy hasn’t been stopped now, he’s not going to be stopped in future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
