Saudi Takeover?

Given this and the occasional leaving thread threat / flounce, maybe Chaos is Smug...

 

we need pics of his forearms to rule out a match.

 

Surely living with Less Hope would be the worst?

 

My source contacted me yesterday to confirm that the deal is still definitely on. Saudis were ready to sign yesterday as Chippy indicated but Mike has asked for two additional items:
1) price to be increased by the value of the prize money for winning FA Cup as this historical run commenced on his watch
2) he be allowed to participate in the open top bus trip round Newcastle in May.
Saudis have pointed out that price of oil has dropped 20% in last month but they may have the extra 3.6 million quid in their change jar.

 

and so it begins.....

 

Was always going to end in tears

 

West Ham will win the Premiership as we struggle against Sheffield Weds in the championship...

Ashley simply doesn’t want to sell...

 

We struggled last time against the owls.

If we were to be relegated we would not come straight back up

 

RB Hammers? Red Bull London?

That would be hilarious

Btw what newspaper has a source close to the Crown prince of Saudi Arabia? Give us the low down on the Jeff Bezos hacking while you're at it.

Load of nonsense.

 

Btw is there not a massive conflict of interest that Red Bull own both Red Bull Salzberg and RB Leipzig?

They're both going to be in the champions league, can people own mulitpe clubs across Europe?

If they wanted to turn West Ham into Red Bull London wouldn't it be a massive conflict of interest if they actually did well?

 

Personally I think the link to West Ham is true.

The dildo brothers want to sell and have done for a while.

They have the location, the fan base and the stadium.

We have Ashley. An owner who is continually toying with us and at no point in my opinion has actually wanted to sell.

Anyone else noticed how our alleged sale value has gone up from £260m.. to £300m... to £340m...?

He's leaking interest to jack the price up clearly so his asset holds greater value.

all fans need to suck it up and accept he will be in charge for years.

Fans then have a choice... go to watch the match or don't.

 

no surprise he turned down monsour .

i wish death on mike ashley i really do


truth


if this happens AGAIN quite how any fan would ride this train any longer is beyond me

 

If we don't sell now we will never ever sell. Simple as.

This is not a fakeover, anyone who says that is stupid. It's a fair offer, if they go and buy West Ham then simply put we are not up for sale.

 

My personal interest in Newcastle will go down honestly. Might start watching more of Cardiff or maybe just pick and choose watching the better sides play. Catch a good game when I can.

What's the point in watching Newcastle? He's sapped pride and love out of the club. It's an entity, a commodity an entertainment piece. If it's not entertaining then why go?

 

the worst part is a huge number of fans will just roll with the fakeover nonsense

 

Yeah, "they were never interested anyway, ****ing Ashley"

No, what's far worse than him making it up is them being genuinely interested and us not budging.

It's ironic that he owns stores, because Ashley is a ****ing terrible salesman. Go into his store and ask for a shirt he'll take it off the counter and say "actually I like the shirt hanging there So, you can't have it."

 

he buys brands and exhausts them... we are not quite exhausted yet, so he wont go.

hes like cancer.


then theres the media which is comprised of southerners and toon haters.

its a desperate situation

 

Personally I think the fans who thought this was possible need to wake up and not fall for this **** anymore. People keep talking about if the interest is real. Honestly we don't know. Normally I'd say it is, but the fact its being played out through the media obviously raises concerns on that front - genuine business of this nature is not really done that way. The same as the last lot who also had history of failed 'bids'.

All said and done though it doesn't really matter if the interest is real so there is little point in our fans squabbling with each other about it, or one side claiming the other is being stupid by claiming the interest is or isn't real. The only relevant point in any of this is whether Ashley is genuinely interested in selling the club. Logically and based on what we know, he isn't. He'll say he is but his actions suggest otherwise. His main business is still prospering from this relationship.

Perhaps he would sell if someone offers way over the odds and caves in to any demands he has for the SD hooks to remain firmly lodged for a while. Which serious operator is going to agree to that? None. So we are not for sale as far as I can see.

 

Plus Simon Jordan says he's selling, so clearly he's not.

 

So if the Saudi's buy West Ham then RB will buy us simples
