SUPERTOON Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Wouldnt be suprised to see Shearer along with heavy backers come in. Similar to quinn at Sunderland but with Shearer being manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Fear that one wrong move and the fans will turn on you? This will probably go over the heads of a fair few, but it might make any new owner think twice about ploughing money into a club where he'll be treading on eggshells in case the fans turn and his investment turns to shite. It will need an owner with a big transfer kitty available every year to start with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianovthetoon Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Wouldnt be suprised to see Shearer along with heavy backers come in. Similar to quinn at Sunderland but with Shearer being manager I could see wealthy backers wanting Shearer as a front in the Quinn mould, but I really don't know if he'd want to manage the club. But he's a football man, and I think if he was in charge of the day to day running of the club a la Quuinn, managers would get a chance because the fans would trust Shearer's judgement.

ChezGiven Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Because if so many people with so little information and experience in crucial matters can force a man who has invested over 200m of his personal wealth into his business to sell, then you dont have an interesting investment. The show of strength from the supporters is a signal of weakness to the potential investor. Only the unlimited funds type of investor will want to play in this game. Business met football and football won on the day. What it means for the future only time will tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 - The intense pressure of the job and the fact your in the line of fire, where your more likely to get a fair go at another club. - The huge expectations of the fans - The sheer cost of investing in a football club and the fact the fans will expect you to invest heavily in this club - No real money to be made in the short term and long term that will be depenedent on success The only sort of person in there right mind who'd buy the club would be someone with insanely deep pockets who can afford to lose probobly about half a billion in the next 10 years. List them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 If I can't sell the club to someone who will give the fans what they want then I shall continue to ensure that Newcastle is run on a business and football model that is sustainable. I care too much about the club merely to abandon it. I have the interests of Newcastle United at heart. I have listened to you. You want me out. That is what I am now trying to do but it won't happen overnight and it may not happen at all if a buyer does not come in. With the above in mind, a sale may take a little while, but I'm worried about what that could mean for NUFC in the short/medium term pre-sale.

Any more? most will expect big spending i imagine, as with attacking football. look at the time allardyce had, he didnt do a great job but didnt get that much time before fans started booing. but lets not get into an argument about allardyce, as it has no significance!

Complete and utter bollocks. A whole bunch of the St nicks day release brigade on sky and the press peddle this bullshit. All most Newcastle fans want is a well run club which would hopefully fuel the possibility of bringing the occasional trophy, i'd be fucking happy with the Johnstons paint thingymwatsit if it meant seeing the Toon at Wembley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyn davies Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 as previously stated the only thing that would prevent a sale is the price anything can be sold if all is right, maybe the accountants are working on a tax thingy to salt away his losses on other parts of his business with would balance the books.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 If Stozo is right we'll have no problem. Spend some money on big name players, keep sacking managers and play attacking football and fans will worship the very ground the new owners walk on. Makes you wonder why many hated FS....

Guest Howaythetoon Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Seriously, despite all the crap, NUFC is still a potential goldmine on and off the pitch so I think there will be many interested parties willing to buy the club, many.

BONTEMPI Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I think we'll have no problem That statement will have alerted that broker that brought the Arabs to Man City, She said other buyers were going to come in for clubs so watch this space. At least one good thing has come out of these protests is whoever does buy will know exactly what is needed and i'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilligaf Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Expectations of the fans really isnt a problem, anyone spending that kind of money will have huge expectations themselves ala City and Chelsea they will expect to win things not just be a stable midtable team with maybe a good cup run Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
