That's just rumours from "sources". We still don't have a single, reputable, attributable quote spanning six months of interest.
Terms & conditions of reading my bollocks. On this, though, there's something wrong. I don't believe the piracy is even linked to the bid for NUFC, it's all just coincidental. I think there's some funny bollocks going around here with this, something is very off about it. Like I say, NO quotes or substantial leak? In 2020? Saudi's have a way about them of always bigging stuff up. Why would they brag around about a deal, yet "culturally" they want everything done before they announce? Contradictions. How are contracts getting signed? Why does Bruce know nothing at all? If the PIF wanted this, it would be done. I'm really concerned about Staveley, especially from her court appearance and way she got involved with the Man C deal. Does she really have the funding? Is it real, or is it all financial powerplays? The City deal she managed to broker without transferring ANY money - basically, if Thaksin had asked for money first, the deal may actually have failed.
I personally think it is still on. But there is just some hurdles to get over. Staveley maybe doesn't have the spare cash to fund her 10% but that is what the contractual loan agreement is for between St James Holdings and PCP Capital. She doesn't have to transfer real cash herself but the money is transferred from the club on completion of which her 10% is inherent. The Manq deal at 4 years is odd and definitely Ashley-Esq however it is also protection for the club The club has to continue regardless of who owns it so this doesnt concern me either. I think it will happen but not soon. For all we know one of the conditions that may trigger the deal is mathematical safety! This could be why the 5% deposit was accepted.
This comment is a paradox. Its both correct, but technically that then renders it wrong as you've now said something right. please log in to view this image
