If the KSA was named as a director would the PL then be able to make a decision and what would it be.

Fail on piracy grounds I suspect..

Basically they just said provide us with the link so we can fail or we will hide behind lack of clarity and neither pass or fail you.

A witch test basically... ****ed either way
 
Anyway reports PIF won't take legal action., but I assume they can't having withdrawn, but Ashley might be.

Tbh I see no gain in any legal proceedings... The result is the same as far as the club, fans and City are concerned.

I was done with Ashley, but now I'm going to use all my pride and will to remove football from my life.
 
They need to go to AS and get the consortium’s lawyers to list the questions to put to Musters.

For me off the top of my head.

1. How can the KSA be a director when that does not comply with English Law.
2. What were the assurances given by the SA Court and why were these deemed unacceptable.
3. Why was no decision to refuse made when consortium not willing to name KSA as director.
4. Why was arbitration proposed instead of the PL making a decision
5. What point or points exactly was the arbitration intended to determine
6. Did a meeting or discussion with Bein occur where takeover was discussed. If so, why?
7. Did any meetings or discussions occur with other PL clubs where takeover was discussed. If so, why and with who
8. If any discussions or meetings occurred under 6 and 7 what was discussed.

Not expecting Musters would answer these or wouldn’t claim confidentiality but for me need to be asked. For 6 and 7 and 8 confidentially re the takeover couldn’t apply as not supposed to be part of the test. He could also lie but that would then depend upon what the consortium could prove separately. It would partly be an exercise of pinning down the PL position ready for Court but that is also why I don’t think Musters will actually say anything specific as opposed to general and non commital

on question one... effectively PL are asking a member club to break company law then... why haven’t the press crawled all over this ****.

I've said this a few times, but nobody wanted this to pass bar nufc fans, so everything including the media did everything within their powers to prevent it... The deal never stood a chance.

Nufc is exactly what the premier league and everyone outside Newcastle needs it to be.... A big away day and a passionate support for the rich to give a good hiding over and over again.

Now they'll all revert back to saying they feel for nufc fans and hope they find the owner they deserve again.. This translates to... I hope they find another buyer that doesn't carry the wealth to ruin their weekends or concern their own clubs.

agree here.

when we go down.. which we will.. their brand won’t have that big away day in its calendar anymore.

mourning odds have now shortened to 9/4 from 7/2 so the bookies see us dropping like a stone too.


We are a rotten club sinking fast and the owner won’t now spend a penny.

It's Ashley's fault over 13 years he's socked the life and soul out of the club while other clubs were being primed and polished above around and below us.. He tried to cash out when there was nothing left to suck out.
 
He's been caught out though. He won't get a decent price for it now with the Covid thing and the Arabs backing out. Who in there right mind would pay 300 million when even the Arabs with their squillions backed out.

Exactly that's why he's so keen... If he really wants out hell offer it at covid rates
 
No, I meant the PL didn’t say they had to name the State as a Director, as that would be silly.

I know you did mate. Just messing. It’s hard to see straight right now with my black and white specs on mind. Hope you and yours are well fella.

In other news attack minded free flowing Steve Bruce wants to buy:-

  • hendrick- **** midfielder.
  • Multi goal scoring and assist master (no assists and no goals) Everton midfielder Davies.
  • Smalling - **** defender.
  • Sessegnon - failed PL left back (we have dummy but ok).
And we have already signed a **** goalkeeper from Motherwell and Extended top scoring 30 goal a season (not) Andy Carroll contract.

The goals next season won’t be just flowing they will be.........
 
Not to the standards we previously set ourselves, but I suppose we can stoop to that level.
