  1. 95 replies... and I'm the first to launch Joe Kinnear as one of the most likely candidates!?
  2. Can see another Brighton/Huddersfield game coming up here. We are way too cautious against the (few) teams that show us some respect, sits back and play on the counter. My guess is a poor game and a narrow defeat.
  3. Pretty sure the ‘data room’ process will be done online. From what I’ve read on it, the club put all the accounting books etc to a 3rd party who keep it all safe. From then on any 3rd party who have signed a NDA will be given a password where they can log on and look at all the documents, so there will be no guys with boxes of files. Correct. All documents are shared online through a highly secured Dropbox type of system. In my former company the data room process were done from the other side of the world by lawyers and accountants from a third party company.
  4. A Due Diligence Data Room is the place where the company places copies of the financial, legal and business documents that define the history and future of the company for prospective investors to review prior to submitting a formal offer. http://www.duediligencedataroom.com/What-is-a-Data-Room.html I've been involved in a few company takeover processes myself (was a member of the executive management team in a company put up for sale). My experience is that 80% of initial interested parties pulls out before entering the data room stage. So in your view/experience, would getting to this stage indicate that both parties have or are close to an agreed buying/selling price? Normally not, but I have heard of processes where a price has been agreed before the data room stage and then being formalized when they have gone through all the documents. But I don't think that is the common way. Anyway, when entering the data room process it's pretty safe to assume that they will come up with a bid in the end unless they find unexpected surprises in the data room documents. The big, big question mark is how far off it will be from Ashley's valuation of course. In my case we had 10 interested parties. At first they were all on separate two days session where they met with the management and got an extensive company presentation and a tour of our facilities. Before being invited, our owners (a private equity company) assured through a 3rd party broker that interested parties had sufficient funds for a potential takeover (only 10 qualified although more than that marked their interest). After the two days sessions 8 of the 10 pulled out of the process of various reasons. The last two entered the data room process, and ended up having bids way below asking price rejected. When I quit the company was still up for sale. By the way, a data room normally contains thousands of documents with tens of thousands of pages. Interested parties normally hires third party accountants and lawyers to help them with this massive process. When done properly, this will take weeks.

  6. Mark Clattenburg on Norwegian TV reckons 3 match suspension.
  7. Together with the rest of our midfielders, yes. For large parts they were outplayed by their Huddersfield counterparts.
  8. His older brother, Samuel, is playing on level 3 in Norway in front of an average home crowd of 300 in a tiny ski resort village in nowhere land. On his poor days Ayoze wouldn't make it on that team.
  9. Overall a very poor display today. On a positive note, he has the potential. Whether or not he will adapt and make it in the Premier League is of course way too early to say.
  10. This team has absolutely no strenghts in this division, only a lot of weaknesses. Seriously, what kind of preparations do the opponents need to do before they meet us? Do we have a lot of pace in the team? Stamina? Physics? Exceptional individuals? No. Nothing. Going to be a terrible season.
  11. What? He's been poor! Imagine Colback put in an overall display like that... His first game though.
  12. Most annoying thing about it. Standard NUFC to persevere with a player well past his best. He finally moves on (the club still probably would've kept him if they had their way ffs) and he gets found out within months and booted out first chance they get. At his boyhood club that idolised him, no less. Hey! We already have a Pardew thread on here!
  13. Considering they are born 5 months apart, doubt it. Pregnancy is only 4 months in Spain and Portugal.
  14. https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/nufc-member-of-staff-arrested.1355462/page-71 71 pages and 1414 post... and still counting
  15. Probably without knowing, Ashley and Charnley created a monster last year by hiring Rafa Benitez. There is no way back for them if Rafa walks in the summer. That would leave the club in another toxic turmoil and there is absolutely no chance the likes of Lee Warnock/David O'Leary/Glenn Hoddle/Roy Hodgson could prevent a relegation in front of a fed up 35-40 k crowd next season. Personally I'm 100% sure Rafa will be backed this summer.
  16. Another Ameobi that is going to haunt this club for a decade.
  17. No doubt it was red worthy and he will get punished by the FA afterwards.
