Thing is the TV deals simply push up the player prices and wages. Clubs might have more cash but arguably they simply have to spend it to keep up with the pace. Longer term if done properly the value of the club increases as a vehicle for whatever you’re promoting. Ashley’s decision to advertise his tat emporium(s) for nowt could bite him on the arse here. If he’d been paying the going rate it would have increased turnover and subsequently the value of the club.

The shit hit the fan for him yesterday. Suspended from work apparently. I think it said that he was expecting a ban. Why should he get off with that. Make him go to every game home and away. That’ll be perfect bushmeat for the little scrote

I guess if he sells now he also gets to walk away with any cash that is paid to the club as part of the TV payments and other revenue as it’s his. God knows how much that is but if you say hypothetically it’s 40m that takes the walk away value to 290m, coupled to the fact he won’t have to spend 20m or so in January. Not beyond the realms of possibility that he would still consider taking the money and running. It wouldn’t surprise me if the final amount was undisclosed so he could at least save face. I’d say it’s unlikely he would take any less than he’s put in with an uplift for interest.....

The Chronicle has shared the story on their Facebook account. Some of the comments are pearlers. My favourite - “Leave the lad alone he was giving birth to their next manager” ????

With Burton drawing they’re back to the bottom. They’ve got Wolves away next week as well ??

The Vile McManaman sent off for second yellow card. Looks like they might have to wait a bit longer for a win at the Stade de Plop

This cunt not sold us yet like?

Wraith all doom and gloom on Facebook this morning. Has he heard the deal is off?

Of course they could just be doing everything in secret like most companies. The company I work for is merging with another energy company and despite the fact they’ve been talking for months with countless NDAs signed we only found out the same time as the public. It’s worth mentioning that breaching non disclosure agreements can result in prosecution. Therefore there’s no chance of any further news until there’s something concrete I reckon. Am starting to think that they may well tie it in to the 125th anniversary stuff.....

If it had of been just about publicity she’d have been taking every opportunity to talk bollocks and tell us all how Messi was signing in January etc etc etc. Silence probably means something is happening. I know it might seem like a distant 2 week memory but even the talk of a firm bid came out of the blue. I can see at least another two weeks before we hear anything else....

I’d imagine the relegation clause only covers this season or any unlikely consequences from the HMRC investigation. To a degree they have little or no control over this season as you’re passed halfway come January but it’s firmly in their gift to prevent in subsequent seasons unless there are any FA sanctions due to the HMRC stuff. All seems fair enough really

I don’t believe the Liverpool conspiracies. The owners don’t want to sell therefore they won’t give two fucks whether we get taken over or not. It’s not as though there’s even loads of noise from their fans for the current owners to go. I think the deafening silence means something is definitely going on..... plus if it wasn’t I reckon PCP would be coming out to strongly deny it.

Amanda Staveley and PCP Partners are rumored to have taken over Premier League club Newcastle United at £ 300 million from the original owner, Mike Ashley. The Staveley-led group has been discussing with Mike Ashley after signing an undisclosed deal and has entered its due diligence to assess the club's finances. It is now believed that PCP Partners estimated the value of Newcastle United worth £ 300 million and investment in players will be made when the agreement of both sides is successfully signed. Report from the UAE reported Amanda Staveley wants all the dealings to be dealt with before December this year to give Rafa Benitez a chance to plan the player transfer strategy in early 2018. The current owner, Mike Ashley stated that he will only sell the club to PCP Partners if the group is ready to bring Newcastle United to a higher level, and it is clear that Staveley will succeed in his efforts to buy United because of his promise to provide financial support to Rafa Benitez in the transfer window later. Reports in the United Kingdom last week say that Staveley will channel £ 500m to Benitez in two upcoming transfer windows. A situation where Newcastle United is able to afford the player he wants is easier than the current situation if Staveley is legally owner of the club. "The experience I have will be fully utilized to deal with the takeover of this Premier League club," said Amanda Staveley. Previously Staveley was involved in buying and selling to help Sheikh Mansour for taking over Manchester City in 2009. From a spurious source (courtesy of the chronicle and google translate!)

They’re gonna be wounded when Ally McCoist emerges from the nearest pub to be announced on a 3 year contract aren’t they.......

I wonder if Wraith has signed an NDA? Always posting cryptic shite on Facebook. Someone has posted a doom and gloom comment ending with I hope I am wrong and he’s responded saying they are. Or is he simply attention seeking ???

Apparently Nonceson’s sister twittering he’ll be out soon so Ready to Groom are debating whether they should sign him up. Some daft twat even suggesting he could play elsewhere in Europe because the UK is in the minority of countries where the legal age of consent is 16. They gewgled it.....

Dustin Hoffman can play Peyter Reid. Bill Cosby as Gary Bennett Maybe Kevin Spacey can host the last one.

So they want a dream team pairing of their most successful post war manager and greatest top flight goal scorer. Just shows you how lifting the club is when that pairing is Sewpa Kev and Peyter Reid!!!

That don’t impress me much

They may well have to in order to get round financial fair play in the same way Man City do. Who’s to say they wouldn’t want to build another ground? Quite frankly doesn’t bother me. Sports Direct did because it made us no money and the brand is shite!

He owns a place in Blanchland, my favorite place, so nowt for me, I would also like to see Ashley as the owner of SAFC I think its a good fit. Ashley and Pardew, back in the premiership, happy to tread water, happy to take a spanking off us twice a season, that'll do. It would be music to my ears when those immortal words came from their mouths “we can’t compete with a sovereign state like Noocarsel”. Imagine the meltdown on Ready to Groom ???
