Captain Underpants

I'm interested in buying the club and I'm foreign, doesnt mean I can afford it though. Interest doesnt mean they have all bid for the club.

http://www.nufcblog.com/2008/09/28/newcastle-news/south-afriucan-consortium-could-be-richemont/ One of our South African readers today has commented on the story of the buyout of a South African consortium, and they believe they know who the consortium is. Johann Rupert - Anton’s son now runs Richemont One of our readers, based in South Africa - Boktoon - has commented: “I have lived in Johannesburg for last 15 years - I think this SA company could be Richemont - seems to fit the company business model.” “They revamp brands and London based Johann Rupert is the head of the Rupert family and is worth $3.3B.” In today’s exchange rate that makes Johann Rupert worth around £1.79B. The Rupert family is a well-known billionaire family from Stellenbosch, South Africa, and we list some information on them in this article, but bottom line is they look like a very well founded and good family, and have already done a lot of philanthropy work in their time. Maybe it’s time to do some of that work for Newcastle United. From what we can tell, they would be terrific owners of the Newcastle United club - so we are now hoping this story is true, but yes it’s the NOTW we know. Here’s some background on the Rupert family: Anton Rupert (4 October 1916 – 18 January 2006) founded the family businesses. He and his wife Huberte Rupert (– 28 October 2005) moved to a home in Thibault Street on the northern banks of the Eerste River in the 1950s. Anton and Huberte had three children: Johann, Antonij and Hanneli. The boys attended Paul Roos Gymnasium, while Hanneli went to Bloemhof Girl’s High. Anton and Huberte were considered philanthropists, supporting a number of projects for the preservation of the arts. The Rupert family is listed on the Forbes list of the 500 wealthiest worldwide, with a net worth of $3.3B.. Here is a short bio on Johann Rupert, Executive Chairman, South African, age 57 Mr Rupert was appointed to the Board in 1988 and has served as Executive Chairman of Compagnie Financière Richemont SA since 2002. He is Chairman of the Nominations Committee and of the Strategic Product and Communication Committee. Mr Rupert studied economics and company law at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa and has had an extensive career in international business, banking and finance. After working for the Chase Manhattan Bank and Lazard Frères in New York he founded Rand Merchant Bank in 1979. In 1985 he joined the Rembrandt Group. Three years later he founded Richemont and became Group Chief Executive. Appointed as Executive Chairman in September 2002, he served as Group Chief Executive Officer during the period from October 2003 to September 2004. He is Non-Executive Chairman of Remgro Limited and of VenFin Limited and the Managing Partner of Compagnie Financière Rupert. The University of Stellenbosch awarded him an honorary doctorate in Economics in 2004. In 2006 he was appointed as Chairman of the Peace Parks Foundation. He has been a Trustee of the Nelson Mandela Children’s Foundation since its inception.

hope they're filthy rich.. because we're gonna need it..

Damien Duff. You fucking retard. PASS THE BALL!

DIC to make an improved bid. Just a pure guess, but i think they will.

i'd go with that. good line up

Oh dear......absolutely no need mate! I feel about the same way. Never been so thrilled about a season to start since fuck knows. And now all that excitement is gone thanks to KK leaving. (Not confirmed yet, but still..)

wasnt there a spanish manager, someone from mallorca or something thatwe supposedly had been in contact with in march or something?

what happend to that russian leftback, zhirkov or something?

what the hell is he doing there? call the police!

this.

but if we're letting barton go then surely we must have a replacement lined up?

In the same way that a ferrari could be a replacement for a skoda, yes.

I'd be very suprised if he is not. Who offers a player 120k a week and sells him the next day? As well as that KK was asked directly about Owen to which he replied "Arsenal will not be Owens last game for us". However, things do change. Or maybe our offer is just to show fans we "want him to stay" but we know he wants to leave?

the ITK's are up..

now thats a wow signing for me. Great player!

could malouda be the possible replacement for Smith?

Owen to City Smith to Everton Berbatov to Newcastle Arshavin to Spurs nailed on. I'd take that, oh yes. Everton would be the only losers in that sort of deal IMO.

that could be a good signing, could play wide out right or as a striker. Good player.

he was sitting next to mikel silvestre in the audience when we played them. AUDIENCE? I know our performance was a joke but its not the Royal Variety Performance you know. Its crowds in football! ..och det heter publik på svenska, publik rakt översatt blir audience, vilket jag då använde. Men du har säkert helt rätt. ... ..oh, sorry, you don't speak swedish, my mistake. Sorry if my english isnt up to standards. JAG be om ursäkt. JAG gjorde icke realisera så pass Engelsk slog inte din första språk. Haha, good job there, mate. Apology accepted. No problems. Remember that for the future football = crowds. Will do!
