wormy Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Bearing in mind whatever leverage the consortium's legal team had to cause the takeover to get pushed through so quickly, I have to say I actually have a half glass full feeling in that there's a reasonable chance this won't stick. Too much hypocrisy to not use as leverage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_b Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Massive can of worms tbh Are Arsenal allowed to continue with the Emirates cup? Are Liverpool allowed to play lucrative games at Fenway Park? Will Tottenham have to get rid of their NFL partnership as the Glazers have an interest in the NFL? The smaller clubs are already going to get shafted by the ban on betting sponsors. Clubs have to be allowed to make money how they want and at a fair market rate Edited October 18, 2021 by geordie_b Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awaymag Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 oh this is getting interesting. I really think Masters and Hoffman will be gone soon. Also, how can these clubs have private meetings without NUFC attending? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight after it, the 19 clubs met on their own to discuss the financial implications of having the Saudis as competitors. It led to the draft of the temporary ban on related party transactions – Newcastle would be notified of this – and then to Monday’s meeting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 So this means that any company that has links to the owners of a club can't sponsor said club ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Yup - things are gonna just escalate from here. The Russian comes in at Chelsea all those years ago - nothing done. UAE takeover Man City - nothing done. Saudis takeover Newcastle and suddenly it's unfair? Had it been Arsenal, Spurs or Man United taken over - this doesn't happen.

It’s Danny Jowell QC who is the anti competition lawyer, I’d bet the club has already sought advice from him.

RodneyCisse Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Feels like a throw of the dice from the others to try and slow the progress of us.

SAK Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Just get friendly countries to Saudi Arabia to sponsor us like Bahrain and then divert the money to them for the smaller sponsorships like sleeves and a market value deal with Aramco or Saudia for the main shirt sponsor so the Saudis get their prestige. edit.

Dokko Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Been a total shit show so far. Maybe we're all just bent out of shape waiting so long for the actual takeover that we've got none left for anything else, however this is terrible and if they cannot see it then the whole thing is going to end up badly.

Danh1 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Shame that there were no concerns raised at Ashley plastering SD all over anything and everything NUFC related yet didn’t pay a penny…. When the shoe fits etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
