No, they did that because they are all a bunch of ****s. I am merely joining in with the spirit of the thread and taking my cue from Chaos - posting **** without actually having a clue what is going on. I'll do anything to fit in
This has had a stench of realism since day one, and it hasn't died, no matter what. Anyone with a conspiracy theory is also blown out the water, because in the current state of affairs there's no reason for Ashley to "leak false info" like our fans often invent. I think this has always been very likely, but I was just under the impression it was impossible due to who we are. If this goes off, we are going to be owned by the second richest family in the UK and the richest family on planet earth. No matter what the fans around the premier league say, it's all sour grapes, if this goes off NUFC is about to be a major player.
On a serious note, for those who understand the process better than me... What stage of things happening would this be? And what would normally happen next?
Even if it's a deposit, for a whopping £150M it's one heck of a deposit. Doesn't that just mean it's essentially a done deal anyway? For context, the American deposit for Sunderland was £10M, if it was even a deposit.
One of the pages can't be arsed to read through and screen shot sorry But you could be right with the 51%
Enough to sort out MA's immediate cash flow problem, which means he can then drag the deal out and let it die.
Yeah, £150m is mentioned. So is £13m, at the foot. If it's a deposit, it's probably the latter. Either way it's ****ing done. EDIT: Seems that the £150m is the amount that's been paid, which would suggest controlling interest, presumably so they can gerronwithit.
As the Ashley era seems to be over, I would like to state on record. Calling him the "Fat cockney bastard" was always embarrassing, he is considerably thinner than like 50% of our fans. Both male and female.
Indeed. I'd also like to place on record my dislike for the Saudi regime and how I can't wait to start moaning about them within 6 months. Rumours abound that Rafa has already agreed to rejoin the club, that came up about 2 weeks ago and no reason to doubt it, particularly if Staveley is in charge. Thoughts on that, or is that new thread material?!
**** it, I'm going full cans on this. Not because the lockdown has turned me alcoholic and I'm looking for an excuse...
