Can I borrow a few hundred grand? I've got some projects I need to get off the ground.

Unless it's just a website redesign it looks like they've made a subtle change to the Sports Direct logo. Wonder if we'll get new signs?

Now there's a Newcastle fan filming himself wandering around the Premier League HQ. I think this is going to get worse before it gets better.

Tbh Reuben Bros + Staveley without PIF might be the dream ticket, if the Reubens are willing to invest. They're worth £20bn themselves after all. But depends on the level of investment they want to put in.

I guess they're going all in on trying to force the Premier League to do something, sitting quietly only led to the PL dragging its heels. Can do a lot more PR damage by going loud at this point - much as Staveley was also doing in her interviews immediately after the PIF announcement - keep the story alive, talk up all the good aspects for the club and the area, let it be known that everyone is in agreement and ready to go, if only the Premier League would give the okay rather than seeming to hold out on behalf of mysterious third party interests.

Its over, simple as that.
Any statements from Amanda, Ashley and the Reuben brothers are meaningless at the end of the day.
The mainstream media, PL, PL teams and MPs do not want this to happen and that will remain the case until the Saudi's are no longer apart of the deal or we get taken over by someone completely different.

Ashley now asking Mauriss to prove he has the cash apparently. I imagine this will be where this deal falls over.

To be fair it's a legitimate question, if he doesn't have the funding, not much point going further. Unless Ashley's idea of proof is a lifetime supply of sandwiches, or some kind of shady SD deal or something.biggeordiedave wrote: ↑Tue Aug 04, 2020 12:56 pmAshley now asking Mauriss to prove he has the cash apparently.

Oh yeah definitely, I wasn't suggesting he was being a dick by doing that or anything .CIH wrote: ↑Tue Aug 04, 2020 1:09 pmTo be fair it's a legitimate question, if he doesn't have the funding, not much point going further.

Should probably ask Mauriss for proof he actually exists.
