Howay 12496 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 The argument is sound provided we weren’t talking about Mike Ashley. The bloke will make out that the club is completely penniless and basically needs to get a loan to fund a £10m transfer budget. Cant fucking wait until the cunt doesn’t own Newcastle United, whenever that is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13842 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 The fucking cheek of them demanding more transparency about anything They haven’t even released the accounts from last year for a start and that’s before you get into 15 years of saying fuck all to fans or press about anything at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 9744 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I am not sure what purpose this does serve. They surely must be aware of the hypocrisy. I do remember the suppressing news from the fans forum meetings. On the other hand I do really think that the PL should aggreefor tge decision to geg published Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5203 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Luke Edwards has no fucking idea whatsoever. He's not insightful enough to have any clue what that statement might or might not mean - at this point he's no different to some random bloke offering an opinion down at the pub. Added to that, his original comment somewhat contradicts his previous views on this, does it not? I thought he had said that the takeover was already dead and had been for a year now. His comments suggests that he's now decided that it wasn't in fact dead, but it now is. I know we know this, but it's worth repeating - he knows the square root of fuck all about this takeover. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Tbh my interpretation is that the takeover is long since dead and last nights statement was an act of desperation. I think we’re at the point where Ashley is wanting compensation for himself rather than a takeover being approved. In addition, if the initial arbitration was deemed to be invalid it would only start the owners & directors test again with legitimate problems that haven’t gone away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5203 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 What would it achieve as an act of desperation though? I think the very most we can say about it is that it's telling us absolutely nothing other than arbitration is still ongoing, and that the club believes it has a case but has concerns about how 'fair' the final decision will be without public scrutiny. If the club didn't have a case, it wouldn't be clamouring for transparency. I suppose the other interpretation would be that the Ashley knows he's lost and is seeking to poison the well ahead of the outcome being issued - but I'm not sure what he would stand to gain from that unless he's just being vindictive. As for the takeover itself, I was under the impression that the Saudis had indicated that they were still prepared to look at this? I can't remember the source though so maybe it was nonsense.

OTF 7293 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 It seems a valid, yet petty point to make. It was obvious already to anyone following that the Premier League are doing anything they can to keep their books shut and the drama under the rug.
