Takeover (Covid-19/20)

I give up on this bloody thing

it's off

Ashley and Bruce are staying

 

Has to get the missus to type this. I have no thumbs

 

why

 

Said a week ago I'd cut them off if this wasn't done within the week

 

ahhh I see

I still think it'll happen im just impatient...

 

I think its fair to say that there has never been a takeover that has many wide ranging considerations and potential concerns as this. Unfortunately for us, we're the club in question and the process is taking place during an unprecedented global crisis. The implications are huge of effectively a state apparatus to take over a football club. The Premiership have to be absolutely 100% certain when they make their final decision. Clearly there are huge questions framing this, including the concerns on piracy and the portfolio of PIF. On the latter, there seems to be overarching considerations with wider PL interests I.e Man Utd.

It's frustrating and damaging for Newcastle' long term interests but its a huge question that the PL need to answer.

The only thing I would encourage people to do (and this is what has worked for me) is to try and avoid social media and tabloid articles on this. It's generally not helpful and not good for any of our mental health!

Forums like this are meant for discussion, and in a lot of times, speculation, so I appreciate that isn't easy.

Anyway, my two cents before I'm burned at the stake

 

Never touch social media, it's all bullshit because nobody knows. It's with the prem. Non disclosure agreements are clearly in place. We and everyone else won't know until the prem have made their decision.

Used to occasionally have a look at mainstream media outlets but then after reading the first sentence = bullshit.

I've watched a few of those vids on YouTube with the blonde lawyer and I think the guy is a barrister. They do a good job of explaining stuff. They pretty much say its with the prem and we won't know until they have made their decision.

Just a waiting game. Not great for us or the club but hey, wtf can we do

 

However, if it wasn't for the social media we'd have nothing to discuss.

 

this is social media

 

Just a little something to soothe Chaos down - Delaney is at it again...

 

was just about to post this

no surprise that the second the reports start looking positive up pops Miguel Delaney and the next grenade comes over the fence.

I still have no idea why there's only issue with PIF owning stakes in nufc and no other UK business.. oh actually yeah I think I do

 

You know it's happening when this one's saying this

 

Miguel Delaney does not mention our arms and trade deals with the Saudi's though. Qatar must have bunged him again.

 

he's caught wind it's going through so he's come out his wormhole again.

the Luke Edwards post is as
good as an announcement in my eyes

 

Yup. One last desperate throw of the dice.

 

could the press know and are preparing their big stories? they do plan that kind of thing?

 

Perhaps. May explain Delaney's reappearance.

 

it's made him look silly.. I mean wouldn't they be better off writing to the government to stop them selling weapons? I doubt them owning nufc is very high on their list of issues
