    Just listened to Kennedy and he seems extremely confident that if we go down that will end the deal.

    It's just unbelievable that they wanted him that much

    I hope this is not the case. Wonder why he thinks this? Did he say?

    He didn't say he just said he had very good reason to suggest it will end things.

    Kennedy has been right all throughout he's got a a good source.

    Shows they never wanted to keep rafa.. If they'd offered that he'd have stayed, but they didn't because they didn't like him.

    They made it look like rafa was too greedy then paid more than he was asking to get Bruce

    At best he could possibly argue that the delay had inadvertently lead to a devaluing of his asset due to the pandemic arriving, but to claim the difference between the value as a PL club compared to if you were relegated is La La Land stuff.

    Depends doesn't it? If they are found to have been underhand and it shouldn't have been delayed I think he'd have a compo case..

    I was really only asking the question.

    Economic loss. Relegation causing loss of value would fall under this. Notoriously difficult to prove and largely dismissed by Courts.

    @Darren Peacock's Ponytail

    If you think about it there's countless reasons

    *Price
    *The fact pif want a premier league club.
    *The financial state of the club caused by *relegation.

    I'm surprised fans can't figure this out tbh because they entire proposition would change for the worse.

    I read things on twitter and I don't think some people can ever quite grasp that these people aren't buying nufc because they love Geordies or the club.. Its just the best business opportunity right now and if the club goes down that might shift the balance somewhere else.

    If you get relegated that’d be due to mismanagement on and off the field, not as a direct result of a delayed decision on a takeover mate. He’d be pissing in the wind.

    Then we can forget this fanciful notion that relegation won't end the deal.

    I'm no rocket scientist, but I think I've figured that one out.

    Are you suggesting that Lejeune and merino are better than lacelles and Hayden?

    The thought of getting relegated and missing out on becoming the richest club in the world after an arbitration is haunting me.

    I hope of we get relegated the club loses the case.
