    I saw it that way also...

    call me a big softie, but I couldn't help but read this as a last ditch attempt to perhaps hope the fans would all protest against it. This read like the final defiant shot fired by HMS hood before it sank to the ocean floor for eternity.

    Hood blew up. Hope that’s not a metaphor for the deal.

    hmmm

    I think it's clear what went on , so tbh I'm just being honest in saying the fans don't care enough to object rather than criticise her. I'm sure I'd be doing the same. This woman along with the people fighting for human rights prior to the past 6-8 weeks I'm all ears to tbh.

    Khassogi's wife probably has support from that other bastion of human rights.... Qatar.

    yeah it was an explosion and a fire, but it still fired a last defiant round on its way down...

    in my post we're the Bismarck... it seemed more fitting

    Never knew that - some cursory research indicates it’s an old sea story, but a good one.

    Things didn’t end too well for Bismarck either. Several weeks of no communications followed by a crippling blow, sending her round and round in circles before she sank without trace...

    Not exactly a *more* encouraging metaphor, is it?

    there were I believe 3 survivors that came to the surface and of around 1300 I believe? and I watched an interview given from one of the 3 giving his account.

    the Bismark was then chased from pillar to post by almost the entire British fleet and almost escaped , but it had a fuel problem or something which was inflicted either by the hood or the Prince of Wales .. the Prince of wales was there with the hood when the Bismark sunk the hood , but they did one rather than follow them to the ocean floor.

    Had a good think about it today.

    I just think now, it’s taking a little longer due to the circumstances we’re in with the PL have another such priority to deal with to coincide with our takeover. It’s like being put in a ring with Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury and figuring a way how to get through both of them at the same time.

    Project Restart is and should be more prioritised than our takeover at the moment. Ofcourse I have worries as I think a lot of fans will have. The one hope I have is that it doesn’t just fade into the distance and nothing much further gets said about it. I’m just going to start being patient, as whatever happens, will happen! Nothing I can say on here can change a thing, let’s hope luck is with us and by this time next week it will be done and we can all just move on and look towards a bright future as a club. If it doesn’t happen mind, I’ll just be a bitpar supporter, I genuinely can’t stomach anymore years with Mike Ashley.

    Funny thing is - we will forget about it and then it will be announced. Its like the saying goes, a watched kettle never boils.

    sorry me again

    I'm afraid that's a fallacy.

    I feel sorry for Kashoggis wife but has she done this for every single business venture they have been involved in.

    There is apparently no proof either that it was anything to do with the kingdom, pif or the kind etc unless I have not read it. It could have been a couple of pissed Saudi soldiers who took him out under no ones orders. Am I wrong.

    If it's sold by Mike Ashley, probably not.

    apparently the CIA found that Salman himself ordered the killing, but like you say we don't know, so that's my position on this one. I feel for her , but what difference does it make to anyone where his money is invested ? it's spent everywhere already , so why is the issue just at nufc? you can't say it's just this one business that shouldn't be allowed Saudi money.. it's just silly

    There are tenuous links to the Royal Family, but it's so big that it's difficult to pinpoint.

    It would be like the Duke of Northumberland running a cannabis farm and linking it to the Queen.

    The duke of Northumberland is an arseholes... I wrote to him asking to chop down a tree of his that was endangering my property... the **** wrote a letter back saying no..., so I chopped it down anyway and stole some of his land...
