I'd rather use some of that money to pay Steve Bruce and tell him to fuck off. A waste buying Kane for Bruce. Edited July 23, 2021 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen those guys hosting before but thought they did a decent job of letting their guest speak. Winter is just marvellous. He's always 'got it' and there aren't many better journo's about than him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My feeling is that the Reubens only want it from the real estate perspective (i.e: taking the benefits of the profile/access owning NUFC affords particularly with local councils etc etc). I don't think they actually want to run the full thing. Why they can't buy it BUT have an underwritten agreement with PIF to come aboard later is beyond me.

Guest reefatoon Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 It makes you wonder if PIF were actually back in or if Staveley and co were hoping to try and get them back involved if arbitration went ok. Maybe they are not going that route as PIF are still out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

et tu brute Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Just now, RS said: He’s spending PIF’s deposit. Will still be millions up So he’s still spending money (doesn’t matter where he got it from, if he did even get it off the consortium yet as seen nothing in any accounts so far) on a arbitration case which is not applicable because PIF are not involved anymore. Sorry nope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Regarding the question of Staveley and the Reubens going it alone, I think AS was quoted before, or a close associate mentioned to the press that there is a solidarity between the 3 consortium members. They won’t go it alone while each of them have an interest still. This is exactly what you’d want to see though, what would it say about the working relationship if one or two of them suddenly left for a quicker deal. And this part is a guess but I would also imagine seeing the level of resistance they’ve faced and also seeing the level of support from Newcastle supporters, it won’t have gone unnoticed on any of them, even PIF. They’ll stay at the table until there’s literally no course of action left to take. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consortium of one Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Amanda (to MBS): OK Mo, lets say Mike wants to have a go at this. He has a legal team that will take the question to arbitration and then he's going to launch a CAT at the same time. If he wins one or both will you be willing to come back to the table? MBS: Yeah, I guess so. Amanda (to MA): Mike, Mo is a go! A 100% go! Mike Ashley: OK Mandy, commence OPERATION DARK FORCES! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
