All the PL need to say is due to the piracy issue in SA we cannot allow this deal to go ahead while piracy issue. Done they wont have a leg to stand on Or they could, you know, state the fact that the country treats people horrendously and has an appalling human right records and shouldn’t own a football club as it would bring the premier league into massive disrepute. However, that also requires them growing a backbone and think about something else other than money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Remember when football said it was going to be more open and transparent? How about the premier league release a statement about why the approval of Newcastle’s potential new owners took so long and then collapsed? Is that me being a bit silly...

Is that me being a bit silly... i think the problem might be more the belief that they weren't in talks with the bid team throughout and that there is no transparency with them...they have no obligation to tell us or Newcastle fans why it fell through* and I don't believe for a minute that Staveley doesn't know the answer to that Boris needs to be careful, he's playing on the emotions of football fans to get an easy win in the North but what he's actually doing is asking for details of a company takeover to be published to the public, how does that get applied outside of football? * im sure I read somewhere that the bid acceptance and exclusivity was time related and that they pulled out once they had gone past that date, so in effect what the PL have done is caused a collapse by delay rather than rejection and that delay could be for a whole host of reasons, including failure by the bid team to submit requested documents Edited August 13, 2020 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still really angry about this. What do we need MPs to be focusing on, when they think about sport? Is it more important to think how to get aid to the 15 EFL clubs who are reported to be on the brink of administration? Or is it more important to feed some populist nonsense about Newcastle, a club whose ownership is financially secure, who has been spending enough to keep the club in the division, and which is in no apparent danger of going out of business whatsoever? (Please don't reply telling me she's the local MP; I know. I don't believe that 'we wanted to bought by Saudi blood money, so we can spend it on even better footballers' is a campaign for a sitting MP to join, full stop, especially when so many clubs are on the brink of closing their doors forever) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm sure the likes of Tag and Coca Cola are terrified that people from Newcastle won't be buying their products. At least when Liverpool fans boycotted the Sun, there were strong moral reasons for it. This is like a spoilt little kid kicking off because he didn't get the most expensive toys at Christmas. I **** hate this club. I hope nothing but misery come to their fanbase. Entitled **** rocket polishers.

villa4europe Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Shock horror it was the consortium's fault and its them that aren't telling the fans what they want to hear It was so obviously the case And the comments are brilliant, so many of them reading the letter (I think at least...) and interpreting it however the **** they feel like Edited August 14, 2020 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Social media like Twitter could have been such a net benefit to civilisation but reading the comments on that and the delusional echo-chamber they are existing in and perpetrating is a prime example of how its actually been used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
