Newcastle takeover in serious doubt as WTO rules pirate TV channel is Saudi

The controversial £300m Saudi Arabia-funded takeover of Newcastle United appears to be in serious doubt after the WTO ruled that the country is behind a pirate satellite TV and streaming service

I hate this mainly because I can't blame Mike Ashley for fucking up yet another deal.

I thought this was already well known? Has been discussed by footy pundits for at least a month

Yes it's been known but there's a difference between that and the WTO taking on the case and making a ruling. Read the story Badgers.

Any update on the new regime yet?

No change that I know of.

It seems the FA are using this brief window of leverage over Saudi Arabia to carry out a spot of piracy and TV rights housekeeping. It's irritating for the fans to be walked over, but you can't blame the FA for making hay while the sun shines.

After 13 years of being dicked over by Fat Mike, three months being sidelined by the FA? Meh.

 

[Limejuice]

Good result.

3 - 0

Bring on the filthy rich overlords!

 

[not-bono-ever]

meh

c'mon andy c!

 

[not-bono-ever]

shit the bed. 4 away goals.

 

[agricola]

soon there will be no managers in the EPL who look like the Milky Bar Kid

 

[Limejuice]

Excellent game that. Four classy goals, plus two missed sitters.

Pity they bundled one in after 93 minutes.

But 42 points and 13th. Feels safe enough to me.

This season could have gone way worse than this.

Has anyone sorted a leaving card for Fat Mike yet?

 

[not-bono-ever]

we are staying up obvs. bruce is dreadful tho'. his P45 should pay for his retirement to the algarve hopefully. if there was any point in the history of the PL where the big three (4?) were vunerable and losing their grip, the past handful of years could have been the best time for NUFC to make capital and have a go. lolz. we missed that one .

Jesus fucking wept.



Thank you, Premier League. May the fleas of a million camels infest your pubic hairs.

As said many times this shows what a cunt Cashley is. I heard 90% plus of NUFC fans would prefer a despot regime than that cunt.

Still leaves the club and fans in limbo

didnt ashely get a cash lump as a non refundable good faith deposit ?

Only 90%?

My sources put it closer to 99.9%, but I only know Geordies.

Yes, indeed. I recall £20m as the figure.

It will just about cover his latest bar tab.

Will probably buy a failing chip shop with it

Has probably spaffed it up the wall already. Wonder if the Saudi regime are a bit cross with him about it?

5% non refundable . nice bit of business

at this will stop the slew of stories in the newcastle evening chronic saying that Mbappe has been seen in a chip shop in Scotswood after viewing a 2 bed ex LA flat

Mbappe was planning to house share with Neymar, Kevin De Bruyne and Andy Carroll I heard. Hope they had not paid a security deposit to the estate agent

 

[not-bono-ever]

Good points; we didn't go down

bad points: everything else

 

[Badgers]

I thought Bruce did a good job given the circumstances.

Also Saint-Maximin is a decent player.

Also did not get relegated and a good end of season run.

Lot of positives
