sherlyegg Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Just now, FinnishOwl said: I think the other two Steves are much more important than people realise. Exactly my thoughts. The statement read: “The Club is disappointed to learn via public statement issued by Newcastle United that it has appointed former Sheffield Wednesday staff Steve Bruce, Steve Agnew and Steve Clemence. They may well have paid for Bruce.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 8 minutes ago, Beholder said: Depends if we have accepted the 4million payment or sent it back because it complicates legal proceedings. If the latter it seems like cutting of the nose to spite the face I just don’t see how getting what we’re legally entitled to is cutting anything off to spite anything but fair enough. Certainly wouldn’t distract me and I’d doubt the manager/team would be paying much attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is saying the situation is 100% just, rather that the extra money we might get is not as valuable as getting HMS PTL out of the harbour. This will be the same as the annual Fessi season starting distraction - a drain on the energy and ultimately the reputation of the Club. DC has been amazing in his commitment to the Owls but he does have attachment issues - hence we don’t sell players and hold on to managers too long - including this one! Agree as long as we do have the 4 million the time and effort spent trying to get more money out of them may be counter productive - concentrate on a new manager and getting any player sales and purchases sorted while we still have time.

Sonny Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 We’re not just going to not bother finding a new manager and recruiting players in order to take legal action. It will be a meeting or two with the clubs lawyers to get things going. Amazingly, both things will already be well underway. Shrug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Pretty sure that we can put any legal action on the back burner whilst dealing with more pressing issues such as getting a new gaffer and backroom team in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that would be objective and rational and justified ? Or would it be a rash decision based on saving face? All hypothetical of course, but what else do have to go on in this forum.

We’re taking legal advice and will the act upon that advice. Ashley can’t just chuck us some money and consider it done. If returning it was the correct legal position to take then yes it was very objective, rational and justified. However we don’t know. I’m saying let’s take measured action, you’re saying just sack it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case , given the info we are hearing from Nixon et al, I don't think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I wonder if the hold up is because Ashley forgot to send this with the 4 million 1 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chansiri / Thais are very much big on respect and he’ll take this as a massive personal thing. He’s got money and I believe will take it a lot further. If Ashley thought he’s stubborn I reckon he’s about to meet someone who will take it up a notch Agree mate. Ashley is up against someone of principle rather just another person who could be bought off. The money will not be important. Ashley has not a hope in hell of even comprehending this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
