    Deal can be done where an amount is held back pending PL status or confirmation of an outstanding fact. It’s common with takeovers that I’ve worked on.

    Is his island (yacht) really in uk seas?

    NDM could literally walk on water if he gets this deal done.

    Imagine the day when Bruce, Ashley and Charnley finally walk out the door.

    Ive been ****ing about that for years.

    Staff were sent a letter, an excerpt of which reads: “As confirmed in the announcement due to the anticipated transfer of ownership of the club, it has been confirmed the new owners are not looking to TUPE any of the current employers over to the new owners of Newcastle Football Club.”

    Any other club, they'd notice all the rumblings and effectively come clean. But it's Ashley's Newcastle United black hole - his only bit of honesty was that we probably won't hear anything until it's done. And even then, I reckon it'll come from Press Association before Charnley.

    That’s because MA blames the press for the acquisition failing.

    I need to believe this, this congruence of events meaning it’s on. But I also need to get this nagging doubt out of me head - if we’ve all wedded ourselves to the view that PIF does NOT equal MBS, and that the PL should never have been applying the O&D tests to him; wouldn’t his appearance just act like a big “**** You, we’re lying, I am PIF motherfuckers!” ? He’d stay away from it surely?

    Not if they're were being asked to say the state had final say.

    I'd imagine they felt insulted and embarrassed with all the ****e they were getting.

    Well demarco obviously believes he can prove they are and our own government believes so.

    I think an agreement has been reached anyway tbh

    Yeah like that news story helps like. You have to question the timing of that ‘leak’.

    Tell them they made the wrong decision Boris or my State will stamp it’s feet and you will regret it. Oh and there’s no way PIF and the State are linked, don’t forget that. <laugh>

    The State owns Man City. I've never understood why this in itself is an issue, outside of it being uncomfortable for Hoffman, who was appointed mainly by Liverpool, Man U and Spurs.

    Back on point, MBS was angry that signed letters separating them - alongside UK Gov opinion - from PIF were effectively ignored.

    City have never hidden that fact though, and Mansour hasn’t been accused of authorising an execution or allowing piracy of the PL product due to a geopolitical dispute...........as far as I’m aware.
