Nobody Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Did Eales say anything interesting then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was maybe trying to rebuild a few bridges with this one.

r0cafella Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Found this fascinating from masters. Quote The Athletic: I know you say the Premier League did not have knowledge of the FBI investigation. But we do not know what he knew. Is there not a curiosity around whether he moved the ownership for that reason? Masters: “He is no longer a director of a club and has no controlling interest. Therefore he is outside the scope of Premier League rules.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s talking about Joe Lewis and his FBI investigation. it’s interesting because he’s basically admitting that if you put enough so called layers between individual and ownership there is nothing he can do. which explains why MBS escaped scrutiny and also by proxy why our deal was held up not because of this but because of Piracy (we an assume a gentleman’s agreement between ourselves and the premier league, notice the premier league always brushes off our ownership questions).

Matt Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) Such BS that comment from Masters. There will be some sort of trust or partnership stricture where a third party nominally directs investment oversight but everyone knows who is really pulling the strings.

Tiresias Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I mean we benefit from it lol but the fit and proper ownership test is a joke. What isn't talked about anywhere near enough is it's failings further down the pyramid where dodgy owners running clubs into the ground is depressingly common Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggys First Goal Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Quote With the Premier League, you have to justify any trade as fair market value. There is protocol, the Premier League have to be happy. Caicedo at £111M is fair market value in that case? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 That's a good quote from Eales and where were at for me. Same deal as Keegan's second season in the PL, a much loved season but we did drop back after over-achieving the previous year in league placing but were still growing and getting stronger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christ Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I’ve no intel to suggest this is the case, but I’m convinced it’ll be the HMRC site in Longbenton. It just makes sense since it’s right next door to the existing ground and it’s closing in a few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just makes sense since it’s right next door to the existing ground and it’s closing in a few years. Possibly. I bet this government can’t wait to dispose of the land. I do however think that land should be used for housing, and a local councillor has suggested that the Freeman hospital should move there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I had thought the Longbenton site was earmarked for housing. HMRC is of course moving to a site in the city centre owned by the Reubens. Because why wouldn’t the Revenue want to work in office owned by tax-avoiders? Makes sense to me.

TheBrownBottle Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I try to ignore that Howe is one of those types. He’s read ‘The Secret’ and all that type of stuff. If it works for footballers, great. I’d want to ploat anyone who went on like that at my work though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
