Baggio Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Link? http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=51176.0 And we can reveal he transferred tens of millions of pounds from his personal bank account into the club’s coffers in January as a transfer war chest. But new boss Kevin Keegan was unable to secure any of the signings he wanted so the kitty went unused. Interesting... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 He'll also have some extra money to spend after selling Smith and Carr... I hope. Doesn't Carr's contract expire in the summer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrette Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 He'll also have some extra money to spend after selling Smith and Carr... I hope. Doesn't Carr's contract expire in the summer? Maybe, sorry if I've got some facts wrong. To be honest I don't really pay much attention to anything to do with Carr. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Lets just hope Keegan spends the majority of the money on young players on their way up rather than older big name players on their way down. Apart from maybe an experienced centre back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 What happened to the story from the Keegan phone-in that said Beardsley was working at Middlesbrough? I can't imagine Mike Ashley walking up to Beardsley and saying "Peter, I can't keep this to myself any longer and I most confide in someone. I'm going to give Kevin £100m to spend in the Summer." Aye that's what I was thinking. I'm sure Ashley told Keegan how much he had to spend when he took the job, I think it's also believable that Keegan would have told some of his coaching staff what was going on and how much he has available, the likes of Terry Mac are still close to Beardsley so it's not as if he isn't well connected within the club, that's without mentioning him having a private box at the ground and him doing publicity work for the club. I don't doubt that there will be plenty of Mike Ashley's money for transfers (maybe even the £100m mentioned) but why would he tell anyone, including Keegan, the exact figure? From what Keegan has said of his meeting with Mike he was left in no doubt that plenty of funds would be available. Regarding what Beardsley says, he also said at one of these fan events that Steve Sidwell was definitely joining us last season and that didn't happen. I'm sure he thought it was true when he told people but it didn't end up happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 We wouldn't be able to spend it anyway really. I think we can attract good players, but not the sort that use up that kind of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he thought it was true when he told people but it didn't end up happening. I thought it was common knowledge that Sidwell had agreed to join us when Roeder was here. As for Ashley and how much we have to spend, surely Keegan would want a rough figure to know what he's got to work with? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well obviously, no need for the club to spunk big money on older players with little shelf life left though, Deco being a good example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 The way they say it Ashley was sitting in front of his online banking transferring the money from his current account. So what you're saying is that we didn't buy anybody because Ashley forgot his account password. mackems.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
