Kimbo Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 These interviews don't come across as confidence in the arbitration ruling to me. They feel like a last ditch attempt to influence something. I hope I'm wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media interviews are simply designed to apply scrutiny to him in particular. I don't think we have anything to worry about with the other two but Beloff is a significant worry.

Wilson Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 1 hour ago, Ben said: I must admit I have no issue what so ever with the rest of the clubs and the top 6 in particular hating us if this goes through, let's just have an every man for himself situation I'm relishing it. Hope they all hate us, hope the media hate us and premier league, and all other fans. It won't feel much different to usual, other than we can be smug as fuck. Fuck them all.

I think they're just drawing as much attention to it as possible so that everyone knows exactly what the PL are doing IE trying to kick the can and keep it all hidden.

Jordan then riled her up and she got sucked in to responding to his antagonistic comments about NUFC supporters. But, his firing her up allowed her to come across quite well and quite passionately during her closing remarks. So, it was a long way from a "car crash" - but it started weak, got a little ugly, but she came home strong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards to the Saudis, of course they aren't there. At the moment, the status with them is they are waiting to come back once given the green light.

Optimistic Nut Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 1 hour ago, TRon said: Well I can honestly say I was extremely angry (and jealous) when Chelsea and Man City got state backed owners, and when our courts bailed Liverpool out of their last owners who had them nailed to the wall. But I accepted it and moved on, and this is what the Big 6 and their fans must do. Suck it up cunts, we had to. I enjoyed the early City takeover days. The transition from going from pretty much what we are now, to signing Robinho, Adebayor, Given, Clichy, Bellamy, etc then on to the Yaya Toures, Agueros, David Silvas, to De Bruyne, Sterling and the like. Imagine having that for the next 10 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonArmy1892 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) Simon Jordan is one of those people who loves the sound of their own voice, think that everything they say is correct as long as they talk eloquently even if what they are saying is absolute tripe. Ego bigger than Ashley's bootcut jeans. Edited July 16, 2021 by ToonArmy1892 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Jordan got her totally rattled and she lost her composure, don't think there's any doubt about that tbh. Still can't help but be enthused by her passion and her commitment to getting this thing done. Jordan's shit-eating grin immediately after she dropped the call told you everything you needed to know about his intentions during that. He was trying to to bait her and succeeded.

ToonArmy1892 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) I don't think he got her rattled really, maybe she just isn't a very good public speaker, sometimes it's hard when you really want to get a point across but don't know the exact words to use. Anyway, it's not going to make any difference to the takeover going through or not. Edited July 16, 2021 by ToonArmy1892 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way they are putting themselves in the spotlight to be humiliated once again. They come back to the table when there is a cast-iron, legally guaranteed invite to buy the club.

nufcjb Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Tiny tinkle of a tear in my eyes. Amanda Stavely welcoming fans to SJP. I wish her well and succes.

nufcjb Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Oh by the way, how stupid do the PL look like when every one on the planet seems to be welcoming and accpting PIF or Saudi's investment into their businesses, but the PL are pushing them away? Virtually unheard of. Simon Jordan is a cunt. Can get in bed with Richard Masters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Full transcript: "I'm so staggered by all the incredible support that we've had from the fans over the last year. More tha na year. Many of them today, many of you guys listening and taking time out of your lives to travel to London. We're so grateful for your support, we really think this is important. We think that the arbitration process should be made public so that you guys can see exactly what's going on. One of the great draws of the club was the fantastic fanbase so I'd like to take the time to say thank you to you all. I think we've made our points very clear to the government and I think the arbitration is key, we obviously want this transaction and the club and want very much to invest in the club, invest in the north, invest in Newcastle, and there's no reason why that can't go ahead. Obviously this arbitration process is critical and I think that's why all of us want to have the chance to see what is going on between the PL and Mike. One thing I would like to make clear, we also want to have very good relations with the PL. Trying to become part of their institution, we're huge fans of football at all levels - grassroots is very important. We're very supportive of Mike and we hope we can be supportive of the PL. We'd have never backed a Super League plan. Hoping in the future that there's a way forward. I don't want to draw battle lines, I just want to say 'look, this process is going on, we want very much to buy and invest in the club, we'd like the PL to run the arbitration process in public, Mike would like the same. Therefore, any questions that anyone might have about how committed we were, what we want to do, can be answered. I think it's an opportunity for the PL to take a view that they welcome the transparency as well. It's easier then, if there any critics post-process, at least everybody can say 'it was run with full transparency' and that;s important. [Jordan claims that it's pointless going to government about all this and that the PL itself has the ability to change rules around transparency] I think you're wrong, you talk about twenty years and barking at the moon... Sport has changed dramatically in the last two years because of COVID. I know you're not pro our deal and I'm not going to get into a spat on Talksport. You have your opinions and that's fine, you'v;e never met me, you don't know who I am, you've never looked at our business plan. Just give me chance to answer your question. The PL have the right to vote this, and that's what we might do, that's what we asked for. But the PL is run by a board and that board is allow to make decisions about how this process is run. Now, arbitration is a particular point of law, it is not something you can say is typical to the process in sport arbitration over the last year. If the PL can make that decision, you're right, the government have said, this process should be transparent - they are supportive of it. Tell me why you're not supportive of it. [Jordan claims he is supportive of it, and says it's down to the PL to resolve it] We've asked the PL to resolve it and we've asked them to have a vote on it, providing transparency. You'll find that the PL have instances, especially re arbitration... the PL offered this arbitration process, they didn't say to all the other clubs - 'we want to have this process, is it okay?' They had the ability to go out and do this. Saying the fanbase is gullible is ridiculous. We are looking forward to welcoming you into SJP and we are looking forward to getting this transaction over the wall and it will do. We've made our position and thank you very much, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank the fans. We are all there, Mr Jordan, we are all very passionate about Newcastle, all the consortium members are. I've made that very clear in my other interviews. Made it clear to Sky and to Tyne Tees so thank you very much and thanks to the fans." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
