Koeman having a go at the ref. Dick.

Clever finish. Get in Lyon !!

He should have got about three red cards there and doesn't even get a yellow

Keeping their options open. If Ashley doesn't shift on his (over)valuation they can move on

Ashley desperately trying to set up an auction rather than what's the best for the club.

Black and white. It was destiny.

Depends how quickly both parties want a deal. Could be days or weeks.

How long does due diligence normally take ?

Fuck off Kieron.

Fuck you biscuitman

Turkey’s richest man, billionaire biscuits king Murat Ülker, has emerged as a front-runner to buy Newcastle United from owner Mike Ashley, the Evening Standard can reveal. Ülker is the chairman of Yildiz Holdings, the Turkish-based European food empire which boasts 56,000 staff and owns a host of household brands including McVitie’s, Penguins and Jaffa Cakes. Sources say he is ready to pay around £220 million. Sports Direct founder Ashley, who has owned Newcastle for a decade, formally put the club up for sale yesterday with hopes of a sale by Christmas. But Ülker and other possible buyers have been tracking the club for months. Ülker, who is worth some $3.7 billion (£2.8 billion) according to Forbes, will become the first Turkish owner of a top-flight football club if successful. He faces opposition from financier Amanda Staveley, who was recently pictured at Newcastle and whose PCP Capital Partners controls billions in Middle East wealth. Chinese investors are also reported to have shown interest. Tom McLoughlin, the Ülker family’s representative in London who has brokered a number of deals involving football clubs, said: “The Ülker family have substantial assets and significant investments already in the UK. “We understand football and our initial specific target would be to make Newcastle a solid top six club and a permanent feature in Europe with a popular local and worldwide following.” The Turk is ready to back coach Rafa Benitez with up to £60 million to invest in new players. Ülker’s team of advisers include accountants PwC and international law firm Charles Russell Speechlys. His representatives have been talking to Ashley’s advisers since early this year although hurdles included HMRC’s tax raids on Newcastle United and West Ham in April, involving nearly 200 officers in England and France. These prompted another round of haggling over the price. Ashley also briefly considered selling a significant minority stake in the club, which Ülker refused. The sale will end Ashley’s often-turbulent reign at the club he bought for £134 million in 2007, which has seen two relegations and nine managers over an often chaotic decade. Ülker is also said to be impressed by the infrastructure of Newcastle United, whose 52,000-capacity St James’ Park stadium is the seventh-largest in England. He will join an international roster of billionaires in the Premier League including Chelsea’s Russian owner Roman Abramovich. Newcastle United declined to comment.

The fuck was that from Mahrez.

Eh ? In what way, his main business has done very well out of owning nufc. Waddle is a stupid cunt. "He doesn't get appreciated"

Waddle on Five Live "I feel for Ashley, I must say "

Any investors worth their salt would know that we're 'yoyo' through bad management and lack of investment. Man City were in the third tier a couple of years before they were bought ffs

'Will accept staged payments'. He's fucking desperate to get rid.

Howay Amanda. You know what to do.

Aye that last angle shows what a clever/cheating twat he was

Yeah fuck it let's just interview two Southampton players

Thought we were excellent second half. Apart from Lejeune's brain fart.

Perez man ffs

Really? If the result was the other way around they'd be the ones going 10th instead of Brighton. Not saying I agree with it. But the expectations and mood of the Everton fans would have seemed to indicate that. Probably irrelevant now like.
