Takeover (Covid-19/20)

I think what they are saying is that if a takeover was imminent then Longstaff wouldnt dream of leaving NUFC

 

correct

 

I prefer quirky to wierd, I am frequently described as such.

Why would Matty only be buggering off if the take over was off? He's hardly getting game time as it is, and the take over goes through presumably we'd buy better players and he'd be pushed even further down the pecking order.

More likely this. He's decent but wouldn't get a look in under a takeover.

 

There's a thread for Longstaff elsewhere. Please leave this thread for the desparation, false hope and self-pity it was designed for.

On that note, I saw a few wildly optimistic morons were waiting for Saul Niguez to announce he was joining Newcastle. One hour ago he announced he was "joining" 'Club Costa City' - some weird Nike sponsorship/marketing bollocks. He's contracted to Atletico for another 5 years.

 

all the evidence points towards failure.

all the fans twist it

 

On an even more wildly optimistic note, our old mate Jim "48/72 Hours" White has just said the takeover is "almost there", or so a "source" told him.

 

he said 48 hrs In December... he's as reliable as indykalia

 

BEin have the deal until 2019/20-2021/22, will take some offer from the saudis to let them have em.

 

Hes an asset of the club though. If he signs the contract then his value is anything upwards of the 400k we would get in a bosman situation.

If he turns into a top player then that value is high!

 

Except that there is no evidence of failure. Evidence of failure is a statement confirming that the deal has been rejected.

 

They'll likely just bide their time.

 

So basically nothing again at dinnertime.

Oh well back to work i go.

 

Be careful with Wierdos Captain... they are everywhere brother...

 

Exactly. Rights are irrelevant.
Saudis have talked to managers and chief execs so far so why not players?
If I was going to buy a house and part of the reason was the lovely garden... if I saw a £250 palm tree being given away for free the day I went to get the keys I'd be pissed off.

 

that would be proof... Same as if it's announced I suppose

 

I get that, wait until next round of rights is up. But if that is a sticking point on takeover, why wait till end of 2022 season?

 

True, but there's zero evidence of failure.

 

Remember aswell. The asset is given a value in the accounts. Marty’s value when the accounts where done would have been assessed. Given he’s an English premier league player who has masses of potential then he could easily be valued by the club at 15m. So if he leaves then that’s 15m of value written off the balance sheet. So is Ashley going to drop his valuation of the club accordingly?

 

hmmmm ok, but I think doubt is growing
