Â And not in a good way, in a complete, unaware way. Â They are The Smiths in football club form, really brilliant but the fans put you off. They've even managed to wind up the mrs, who has no interest in football whatsoever. They closed Match of the Day last night with yet another montage to "the champions" and even she started to complain that they're milking it now.

Keith Houchen Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Champions should milk it for every last drop. Top heel tactic. Besides, I don’t think the club have any pull with the editorial decisions of MOTD outside of results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrodyGraham Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) Apparently another deal has basically been agreed with an American group who want to replicate what FSG have done at Liverpool. I think this collapse has basically coincided with the exclusivity running out on the deal. There's also the feeling that we've been used as pawns in the Saudi's dick swinging contest with it's neighbours. Personally I'd be happier with owners who realistically invest in the club, but also don't flatten the Yemen and have a horrific human rights record. Edit. Reports are coming out that Ashley apparently upped his price to the Saudi's when the exclusivity ran out, basically making the initial purchase agreement void. Along with all the other shite surrounding the deal it was apparently enough to convince them to call the whole thing off. Edited July 30, 2020 by BrodyGraham Oh and another thing...............

Here's an interview with Amanda Staveley. Turns out the Saudi's just lost patience with the Premier League.

BrodyGraham Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Apparently, even according to the buying side, Ashley wasn't the problem. They agreed to the extra, the issue is the Premier League refusing to commit either way to green or red lighting the sale. One of the major points coming out of the Staveley interview is that apparently moves were made by the top 6 clubs to block the sale, Liverpool and Spurs being most prominently reported/rumoured elsewhere. They would have got the deposit back if the league had blocked it, but the Premier League kicking their heels until the Saudi's pulled out has basically cost Stavely and her backers the £17m. All signs point to Ashley wanting rid. Still the extra £17m probably won't hurt him. Edited July 31, 2020 by BrodyGraham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle fans in making something Mike Ashley’s fault without any evidence shocker, apparently. Just be thankful your club is owned by a dodgy fat cunt and not a morally repugnant murderous dictator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely bit harsh on Stewart Donald, but still yeah, I suppose there's worse than Ashley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
