OTF 8942 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 As they submitted all the requested paperwork for the owners and directors test shouldn't it follow that the premier league will still have to respond to it despite their bid being formally withdrawn? Of course it would be subject to confidentiality, but I don't see why this would let them off the hook as far as an actual response is concerned.

Alex 38169 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I can’t understand that. They’d have been doing the government’s job for them, and some, by investing in the city. Not that the government would have invested much in Newcastle and the area, but you’ll take my point. It makes no sense so I suspect it’s true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those close to the consortium may have been right when they claimed there were no grounds on the fit and proper test to stop the takeover – after all, their lawyers had scrutinised the rules – but the delaying tactics worked. This could lead to stricter codification of the test in the future so situations like Newcastle’s do not occur.

ewerk 34704 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 So the Premier League need to explain what happened but although we don’t know what happened we can definitely say they weren’t at fault?

Ayatollah Hermione 15349 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Friend of my mates was talking to Edwards in a pub and he was saying he apparently gets really bad DMs about people raping his wife as a result of his tweets but he still carries on.

Alex 38169 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Wraith has a point, badly made. It’s weird that Edwards is so pleased it’s off but I guess it’s because he’s painted himself into a corner with the way he’s behaved towards the majority of the fan base and his ridiculous claims to not have watched our matches when we played shit etc. The daft bit is, as Howay pointed out, it would have been a fantastic boost to his career if we’d been converted into a top European side competing for honours for the foreseeable. It’s fucking bizarre that he’d rather score points on Twitter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
