They probably will throw in a fake take over story as well. Expand I am Spartacus... err ... Nostradamus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 This from The Chron... Talks between Newcastle and Benitez are now believed to be concluded and it is now down to the former Liverpool boss to decide whether he can work with the terms offered. It is understood that United are now waiting for Benitez to get back to them with a final answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@yourservice 67 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Why offer him the take it or leave it when there is supposedly a takeover happening? wouldn't it have been better to tell Rafa to hold out until the death and see what the new owners want to do? this says it all regarding the takeover, it aint happening.

Rayvin 6648 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Didn't the guys spearheading the takeover say that they wouldn't get it done until long after Rafa's contract is sorted out?

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Everything about this takeover screams fake to pressure Rafa. I hope he leaves. Won't be done before June 30th. Wenger or Mourinho.

PaddockLad 20005 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I think the interest and offer from BZG are genuine. Ashley is unlikely to sell to anyone though. He’s the piss taker, not the Arabs or the media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Aye, trusting £25m to a foreign investment bank to have a conversation with reluctant sellers. On top of that it was a joint bid so there may have also been a disagreement of how much each side put in for the £25m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
