Sounds like Staveley wants the fans to put pressure on the premier league to let it through even if they can’t satisfy whatever test is put infront of them?

Not too sure how that would go down but the premier league would look weak and like jokers to people outside of NUFC

Why doesn't she just buy it then? Daft kernt.

I can understand disappointment and anger but to use something like mental health to gain sympathy is beyond abhorrent. The reason mental health wasn't taken seriously in the first place was because of people bandwagon jumping on the "im depressed" to get time off work which then had bosses disbelieving people who had genuine issues. To see that jumped up baldy twat trivialise it boils my piss.

It seems to be something that spread amongst them, give us a decision quick think about our mental health.

I agree with you it's not on. I have mentioned it so many times across the couple of posts about them, I'm sick of hearing myself but it has annoyed me.

Throughout all of this is, the fans have had no power to influence the PL. I'm not sure a strongly worded letter from Steve Wraith is going to reverse their decision. :lol:

Chronicle, Gazette, Mirror, and a few others. Thing is, this deal is dead. My honest opinion is that when the MENA broadcast deal goes to tender the Saudis will bid for it and look to buy a PL club. could be us, could be Man Utd, who knows. But this deal? this deal is dead.

Yeah strange player by her. Was already pressure whilst the bid was still in so don’t know what pulling it out does.

She was lying through her teeth saying piracy wasn’t the issue. Maybe they as a group have been hard done too, there’s clearly other factors at play but to pretend you’re whiter than white and transparent is embarrassing really.

Do you think they will ever pass the test given their links to human rights violations, murder etc? If the piracy is the hold up/issue now surely the next step will be that?

It will damage the premeir league brand to let these guys get involved surely?

She is dodgy without bringing the Saudis into it.

What an absolutely embarrassing carry on mag twitter is right now:

"as a fanbase we are at our lowest level"
"premier league corrupt to the core"
"will still be 40+ thousand every game"
"should be an investigate into the PL"
"Can we appeal to the government?"
"give us answers soon - power to the people"
"premier league needs to step in and help resurrect this deal. they have betrayed the nufc fans and the region"
 
Oh no. They'll always have the last laugh. Sorry Joe I disagree :lol:

@JoeD_Nufc: As they focus on NUFC, this has happened... Beautiful stuff! We'll always have the last laugh

No way will the Premier league change any stance on this.

That's the thing though. They haven't taken a stance. And if the right " persuasion" is applied, it is not difficult at all to imagine a statement from them saying that after examining all matters and after further discussions with the Saudis, they see no barrier to them using the club .
 
He's got a canny set of balls on him that Richard Masters mind.

4 months of none stop news stories about how brutal the Saudi regime is, chopping up journalists for writing negative stories about them, the torture and execution of people that disagree with them etc etc etc.
Then you spend four months embarrassing them internationally, you torpedo their deal, not only that but you do it in a way that costs them 17 million....... takes a canny bit of backbone that.
 
We don’t need to be upset we’ve got Joelinton up front and isn’t Steve Bruce known for taking teams higher and higher?

No panic man, what a time to be alive!

They seemed to have forgotten all about John Hall's "team full of Geordies" and "Last of the Mohicans" rhetoric. I'm not sure having state sponsors of terrorism as part owners was Hall's vision of a "Geordie Nation."

You spelled "nayshun" wrong there mate. :D

The issue is the saudis refusal to pay BEIN for broadcasting so the press stance stance is surely sort that out with BEIN and we can move forward

Fortunately my mental health is fairly strong now but I've been down to the bottom and its dark down there. I had no help and it took me a long time and a big fight to get back to somewhere normal so its something I have a strong opinion on (if you hadn't noticed from my rants)
