Newcastle Utd (and Viz)

I’m really not sure why everyone is celebrating this decision. The Saudis may not be the nicest out there but that’s not the reason this fell through. The PL, pressurised by PL clubs and tv rights partners have bottled this. Every other club can forget about attempting to join the party. By their own O&D test this should have passed, the PL accepted the PIF were a separate legal entity and then wanted the country named as a director to do tests on. That’s just madness and contradictory.

The PL is dead is far as I’m concerned now; it’s meaningless, globally the fan base of the top 6 will grow, that’ll satisfy tv audiences who don’t like to see their team lose and we and you will be there to make the numbers up.

The greater loss is to the region. We are in the middle of a global pandemic, the Rueben brothers already own a large chunk of ground and property around Newcastle and the prospect of increased investment was huge. People with no interest in football will lose out, sorely needed Govt investment will not materialise. The Reuben’s have for some time been contributing to local food banks.

SA has an appalling human rights record but nobody should kid themselves that this stopped the deal. You shouldn’t afraid of what could have been, you need to wake up to what is already there.

This isn’t sour grapes, it’s a realisation of the closed shop that will not be broken.

Cheers lads, try and stop the stereotype view of the average person from the north east eh.

Why isn't the directors test genuinely close? if the prem had passed it, the papers had been signed, there was no going back. - The premier league's reluctance to give the go ahead caused the withdrawal, not Ashley.

Once sole bidder status was lost after such a long delay anything goes including renegotiation hence the pull out.

This was different from all other bids as it had got to this test that's why I said it was impossible to predict it. If you thought it might fail for another reason (like every previous bid) then it didn't. Blind faith was just used as a 'catch all' for any other reason, it wasn't meant literally.

Ashley knew that those clowns would never pass the director’s test. It’s an ingenious ploy from him because now it looks as if he was actually willing and actively trying to sell, he’s taken all the heat off himself. Genius.

That’s just bollocks tbh. He’s done with the club, he wants out, he needs the cash this would have brought. The £17M deposit is small consolation to what he’d have got. There is no other better offer, there’s no other offer full stop.

The hate for Ashley will only get worse, he’s not to blame here by the looks but he’s got 13 years of form to answer for.

All anyone should expect is for their club to become the best possible version it can be with the resources it has.That will never happen under Ashley. I’d rather be trying our best in League 1 than stinking out the PL hoping to finish 17th.

Your fans came on here, shouted the biggun about how youd be overtaking us, to compete with City, on the basis of a blag turnover who never had any interest in putting any money in. Surprise surprise the pulled out.

You were told all along this was going to happen, and you ignored all the obvious warning signs.

Even now, you lack the humility to admit you were wrong all along. It was never at the point where it would be imminently announced and going along smoothly. That was all just lies you kept telling yourselves.

You're still at it now too. Trying to blame the PL. It's not the PLs fault the buyers walked away citing a lack of return on their investment.

As a fanbase you need to grow up, accept Ashley has given you about 500m to spend in the last 4 or 5 years, despite the chance Benitez relegating you (again) and has built a god awful squad in the process. He cant do any more.

It has nothing to do with the PL, stop lying. The buyers have walked away.

The Reuben brothers are welcome to continue to fund food banks. As for saying Saudis "may not be the nicest" it's like the understatement of the century that. Try the worlds most tyrannical dictatorship.

You begged them for money, abused a widow of one of their victims, and now when theyve shoved you off as theyve sussed they wont be able to extract any money out of you (clue you were never going to get an investment) you're having a fit at the PL.

If you want answers, cut the lies and B/s, and direct some questions at the buyers.

Weve listened to the likes of your nonsense for long enough here. You were told month ago you were talking nonsense and it wouldnt go through. Check the vaults in this thread. You chose not to listen and believe a fairytale. When reality hits, dont come crying and looking for sympathy, as you dont deserve a jot judging by your conduct.
