Serious takeover talk

That’s only about 300 metres away but other side of the water, I didn’t know there was another one going up there as well.

I’m opposite Copthorne/Quayside bar.

You work for NGP?

 

Can I ask what is NGP mate?
Ah it's ok....got it.
My son works for the North Group on newcastle quayside, thought it might have been that.

 

Yeah there's apparently one going up next door to the Ramada.

I don't, I work for WhatCulture.

 

Northern gas and power.

It’s an energy brokers a whole bunch of my pals work there, including the owner and sales director.

It’s right over from Jury’s which is why I wondered.

 

Ah same building ain’t it? Well other half of the building.

 

Think they're in my building like, along with some call centres. There's a bunch of different companies housed here.

 

Aye, so I understand.

 

Is this from a reliable source? Not doubting you, its just I've heard a few people suggest this would be sensible, so I'm hoping it's come from someone who might know, as opposed to being rumour which is being passed on as truth! Any investment from these people would be amazing news for the long term future of the club, if they take a minority share I think it's news that is nearly as good as hearing they've taken 100

 

Someone on the smb said the same yesterday saying it was the talk around the aol, but it looks like it’s been pulled now cos I can’t find it

 

GOM said the same but with big words

 

How we looking then?

Was at pub yesterday so haven't been checking?

Apparently something kicked off over RTG posts got deleted over information posted about club.

What was it? PM please if not allowed to post here.

 

I'm a bit anxious about the AoL stuff, some are sounding positive because Methven indicated something was still happening when he was at an SAFC business event yesterday. Not that I don't trust Methven, but if the talks had broken down I doubt he'd have said anything in that forum, wouldn't sound great so I imagine he'd probably just say "ongoing" for now and let Donald give the bad news later!

 

They all wanted to string SD up cause sporty said it was off

 

It's looking good. I have given a couple summaries but things have hotted in the last 30 minutes.

Here goes

Smug is still going for posh food, no update on what he's having
Someone hurt their thumb
Someone found a poo emoji behind their tv
No update on the state of the spoons marquee
I've bought 300 pitchforks (possibly available cheap)
There is a new series of something on netflix

Oh and someone mentioned something about the Americans investing for now and not a full takeover

Over the road, well it would be quicker to put what SD, Ellis Short and the Americans haven't done

 

It seems this is the way.

Even reading between lines of what Donald’s said, he’s very carefully returned to the world ‘investment’ when categorically he was using ‘takeover’ a few weeks back.

Looks like due to reservations they have backed off from a full immediate takeover, but are still keen to come on board gradually, all signs point to this.

Was it ever a takeover? All we know is Donald always said investment, then spoke about a takeover, now he’s back to investment.

Arguably, keeping the owners in place and funnelling money in as appropriate is better than a full takeover for right now.

That’s how I’m reading all of this and all the signs are pointing that way.

Again, this isn’t professing to be ITK but it’s reading between lines. Would also explain some alleged ‘ITK’ gibshites saying ‘it’s off’.

 

He said this before the talk in took place it was something like this


‘A lad at works wife works at the academy, The talk is that the just investing now but before the agreed to This the wanted Ross sacked’

 

I will take this all day long

 

The deal is one and off, it's either dell or his marras or both, steward Donald is class and ****e, Methven is a snake but said something positive, Ross is coming back, Lescott never actually left and eboue has been hiding in a recycling bin at the aol offices looking for his original birth certificate... None of the views are my own

 

Would also explain the fairly sudden departure of Ross. SD showing he can make the tough decisions

 

I agree that what you've posted sounds perfectly plausible, just one thing though, has he ever said takeover? He might have done like but I thought he'd always just said investment?
