March to June 2020 - NEWCASTLE UTD fc

[Mr B]

The company PIF is buying Newcastle, PIF have no legal interests in Sheffield United, they have no legal power to make or influence any decisions at board level therefore it does not come under the rule of power and influence.

The argument you try to make is the man behind PIF is a bad man and might illegally threaten his cousin and get him to do something against his will.

Obviously he can’t do it legally, but when it comes to threats, they is no ‘might’ about it, his threats are well publicised, it’s just you refusing to accept that he is in a position to influence another club, his previous action demonstrate this perfectly.

“The Ritz detentions were designed "to remind people going forward that their wealth and their well-being would depend on the crown prince and not anything else, which is why it was so upsetting for many in the royal family," said the former official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

A year later, the event has taken on even more importance in the wake of the death of the Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi, who was murdered after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2.“

Had he not sanctioned the above, then you may have been in a better position to argue your point, but everyone knows that if for example he orders Sheffield to sell a player to Newcastle, they would be very unlikely to reject his request.

I heard from a decent source. It won’t be concrete as realistically who will know the full detail but this person certainly knows more than I do ?
every day that passes with no news points to it. How long should it realistically take after all ?

Ours went on and still is. The initial news and excitement makes it feel like it’ll be done within a week

Maybe, I heard it was pretty much off middle of last week and dismissed it in my own head but the longer the silence goes on the more I believe it’s not. Just have to wait and see but an announcement of some sort can’t be too far away.

I think Amanda has had a lot to do with the hype train leaking stuff to the press left, right and centre.

Only 10 days or so until Big Mike's American mate can step in, if the exclusivity is to be believed.

Wouldn’t surprise me, I get the impression she enjoys the limelight. I wouldn’t trust anybody involved in this deal as far as I could throw them.

Don't be ridiculous man.
He has no legal power to order the sale therefore there is no connection.
What a bad man might hypothetically illegally do in the shadows to coerce another club owner is not part of directors test
yes he could tell the owner of Sheffield if he doesn't do as he is told he will have him tortured, he could equally say that to any of the other club owners. These are called threats, they are covered in law not the directors test.

The Jamal Khashoggi incident is completely irrelevant to the premier league tests, he doesn't have an unspent conviction for it so they will not even look at it.

Didn't Big Mike come out and say that last time he was sick of thngs being played out in public and if it happened again, it would be in private? Clearly pointing the finger at Staveley.

She is the one pushing and getting desperate now, it’s not smooth sailing. . . . IMO of course.

If you remember I did say it wasn’t imminent when there was a lot of mags overly salivating( you excluded btw)

That would be their entire allowed budget on one player

They're mental. They haven't even been taken over yet and have no idea what they'll be spending/able to attract yet have berks like Howey suggesting they should sign Europe's hottest striker who is probably going to be going for north of £200m when he does leave.

But, but, but, it's "only a tiny minority of their support"

i don’t even think he was that discrete !! I think he did and I’m sure he actually called her publicly a time waster. She strikes me as a publicity whore and this is her 15 minutes of fame.

 

[Super Ted]

im pretty certain it is yeah.

For what reason?

 

[Secret Visage]

Free delivery, when you spend over £75 today at Big Mike's Sports Emporium.

yeah I remember you saying that, and I fully agree it’s certainly not plain sailing.
I imagine any buyout of this size will be a full on affair. It undoubtedly there’s something amiss imo.

 

[Mr B]

you are wasting your time

I know, you can only give someone the facts and if they choose to ignore them there’s not a lot more you can do. AndyH is probably of the opinion that the Krays were a canny set of lads and as they had no legal influence over other club owners in the area, they should have been left to get on with what they were doing.

Fair play to you, your head isn’t up your arse and I find you to be honest with your appraisal of the club, even though sometimes I don’t agree with you I respect your opinion
