It just says we're keen on him, so no negotiations have even started. Probably unlikely he'd even entertain coming here. All it is, is a deliberate publicity stunt to get the dumb Geordies to fork out for another season ticket with a pie in the sky promise that something positive is going to happen. Ashley is trying to accumulate as much cash out of everyone before he attempts to sell us for a inflated sum.
The fat cunt is, and has been playing everyone ever since the Keegan fiasco. Wake up and call the fuckers bluff for once.
