The Prophet Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I'm not really sure why folk don't just ignore Holt. It's fairly obvious he's a bad faith actor, who was more than happy to bat for Saudi when Anthony Joshua was fighting over there. This is the problem with our online fan base though. All criticism of our majority owners, whether legitimate or not (such as Holt's bile) is taken personally and seen as an attack on the club. As the club becomes more relevant and successful, it's only getting worse too. So rather than carrying on like sensitive, thin-skinned bairns, it's best to engage with the sensible stuff and ignore the obvious bait, rather than give the author the desired reaction.

r0cafella Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Btw back to relevant stuff I’m sure the noon deal is worth more than the previous deal as this would be the driver for signing a 1 year deal in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyCisse Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Sounds like the “renewed” element would be a change in the deal meaning more money for Champs League exposure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 One interesting titbit from the Times today was apparently Stavely represented PIF and played "a pivotal role" in their negotiations with the PGA to broker this deal. Whatever your views on it (and I for one couldn't care less about golf), if true she's definitely well in with PIF and a really effective dealmaker.

Yeah I thought the same thing. Hopefully she got a nice cut. I’ve still not idea how she’ll be able to keep her current share of the club if the club does do the large investments they’ve been talking about (training ground, St James) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, she’s one of those people who ooze competence in their work. She has a way of speaking which is both friendly and forceful - not a combination which you come across regularly.

The best solution is to ignore both Holt and the thin-skinned fans who get baited into reacting. Let's face it, when you have a large fan base, some are going to bite. Let them get on with it either way, as you say it's inevitable given the nature of the takeover. Howe has got it down to a tee, just refuses to get drawn in, and quite right too. He's got nothing to do with what's happened to football in the 21st century. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
