Takeover (Covid-19/20)

Will Grigg

 

He’s not lending them it i don’t think. Its a gauruntee for the £150m he is owed via his DLA. Effectively they are paying £150m up front and the balance is owed at a later date? Which is classed as a loan in the eyes of the law but it’s actually a guarantee.

 

That’s exactly what I think.

 

And the BBC now reporting it's all but done:

"The Premier League have also been informed of the potential deal and are understood to have begun the process of carrying out checks under its owners and directors test."

I’m thinking that it is a timing thing regarding paperwork but the premier league must have indicated that it’s all ok. Thus the movement today. It wouldn’t have happened if there was any indication of it being rejected.

Also given the potential of investment for the premier league (double standards disclaimer right here) the premier league stand to lose a fortune with other companies going bust or financially strapped. So what better way of ensuring premier league income streams than to have the wealthiest family in the world an asset and owner of Nufc.

 

im gunna get pissed for the 2nd time in 9 months

 

correct...they already know before the official checks are done... i read this a few weeks ago.. its a done deal

 

I actually think it is happening.

Holy sheet!

 

the richest club in the world... let that sink in

 

The season continues. We get relegated

 

we will soon be back.

 

i wonder how the makems are dealing with this

 

I’ve heard they are growing new fingers.

 

smashing their Dell keyboards

 

the suicide rate has just increased

 

So - what’s the clinching proof that means you’re going to crack that first can?

I don’t mean the ones we’re all drinking right now to calm the nerves. I mean the first celebratory one?

For me it’s a statement from Staveley that she owns the club. Won’t believe it until then.

 

im having a bottle of port

 

I love Friday announcements.
