Big Geordie Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Heard some rumours tonight from a good source. I won't say who he is, but he is connected to a former major shareholder of the club. Anyhoo; * Mike Ashley has been trying to sell the club for the last 3-4 months but no-one wants to buy. The crux of the matter is said to be the casino deal falling through, which ties in with what was mentioned in the Chron, about the club having to pay back a £5million loan. * Keegan took the managers job because he is said (alledgedly) to have money problems, with Soccer Circus losing money. * Wise was brought in as a safety net if we do go down. Apparently KK doesn't want to manage in the Championship if we are relegated. Wise will take the reins. * Asset stripping is also said to be going on internally Again - this is just rumour and it's also from a man who happens to have an agenda against Mike Ashley for forcing him out of the club. This man also happened to be at the match today, when I thought he'd been barred. Or did he just lose his box? Not saying it is all true, but I thought these worth sharing non-the-less.

Big Geordie Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 you do know the casino thing fell through months before Ashley bought the club, right? kinda fucks up your post, sorry. Yup - was aware of that. Was there not plans afoot to build a new casino in town though? Either way, just regurgitating what I was told. The source is also no Walter Mitty - that's all I'll say. The man who he is connected to may well be, however and also has the motive for an agenda against the new owner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
