Rayvin 5189 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 What happened with this bit, I missed the detail. Did we accidentally impose sanctions against them? Or did we impose sanctions and then decide we could have our cake and eat it by also phoning up to say that we didn't really mean it? This sounds like good news for the takeover but it's a shameful episode for the British in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Well it looks like the end of another week & still not a sausage. What a shitshow this is. Even if it does happen all the goodness has been sucked out of it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 This from The Mag The Newcastle United takeover has been brought into sharp focus as the Premier League plan ahead. The announcement of a date for the start of the 2020/21 has been delayed and instead will be made public after a meeting of the 20 PL clubs on Friday 24 July. However, BBC Sport report that they understand that Saturday 12 September will be the date then announced, as to when the 2020/21 season will kick off. As expected, a far shorter break between seasons than normal, with only 48 days from when Newcastle face Liverpool on the final day of this current campaign. For the Newcastle United takeover, it means the prospective new owners are seeing the clock rapidly run down in terms of preparing for that new season, only 64 days until what would be their first campaign in control would kick off. To put that into perspective, the NUFC takeover was passed to the Premier League 92 days ago, on 9 April. The thought of Mike Ashley still being owner when next season starts if something that doesn’t bear thinking about but it is totally unacceptable the way the Premier League are dragging out the takeover approval, ensuring that if / when the Saudis do buy the club, they will be faced with a chaotic situation. Which just maybe is part of why the Premier League are delaying. The lower leagues are believed to be set to start their season in August and also the League Cup to begin. However, as to whether the PL clubs will take part in that competition this season remains to be seen, that decision also will be confirmed after that meeting on 24 July at the very latest For those involved in the Newcastle United takeover, an even more pressing date is coming in fast. As well as a new manager, a sizeable overhaul of the NUFC playing squad will be needed. An announcement of summer transfer window dates has also been delayed until after that PL clubs meeting on Friday 24 July. It is expected that the window will immediately open on Sunday 26 July once the current season ends, with only 16 days to go until transfers can be completed. That window will run through into a yet to be confirmed date in October. However, the thought of new owners having to do their main transfer business AFTER the 2020/21 season has kicked off, would be far from ideal.

Christmas Tree 4714 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I’m 100% confident now that this will be passed within the next 7 days. There’s been plenty of times when it’s felt like a “no” was coming, but everything now seems to be aligning in our favour. And while 92 fucking days is unbearable, it will be forgotten in a heartbeat when this goes through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 9741 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I stilll guess that if they want to approve the deal they might wait until the season is over and bein can't threaten to stop broadcasting remaining fixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30409 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) They’ve another two seasons on their deal. I don’t see what good waiting until the end of the season would do. Edited July 10, 2020 by ewerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but if they throw a tamper tantrum when no games are to be televised it will be easier for the league to say that they can reciprocally cancel the contract and let someone else show the games... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
