Don't you think the Chansiri family - that come from a culture where honour and respect is paramount - would not assist if need be. Indeed, his family may have taken a back seat in terms of him running the club for himself but if it came down to a matter of respect and integrity I reckon the would back him up if called upon.

If the latter it seems like cutting of the nose to spite the face Why the fizz would we send it back? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will know how it is gone when it is announced Ashley has done a Captain Bob and is found floating face down in the ocean after some unfortunate accident with a tuna trawler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he wants to pursue legal proceedings, sending it back could be necessary. That's what I'm saying. Just take the feckin money and move on. It's plenty.

Fuzzy logics Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 If we have indeed received £4M for Bruce then perhaps we need to just move on and focus on getting someone in and preparing for the season? Can't see what arguing the throw about the other 2 will achieve. If that's not the case and we have been shafted financially over Bruce then we should battle through the courts etc...

Guest mkowl Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Simple answer we will never know. It's a legal matter and 100% guarantee there will be non disclosure agreements included as standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetland Owl Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Newcastle have £m's to spend and cannot even afford to pay us. They cannot get away with this. More time that goes on the worse Newcastle look DC we are 100% behind you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see how anyone could argue otherwise As I understand it, that was for the manager. Why shouldn't we be recompensed for them tapping up the other two?

Like I've already said, pedantically insisting on getting exactly what you asked for isn't always wise if it means protracted legal wranglings. That kind of thing doesn't do clubs any favours. Remember McCabe and West Ham? Sometimes you just need to clear the decks and move on instead of having a stink hanging over the club.

Derby agreed to let Lampard talk to Chelsea. There is zero similarity between the two situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
