LooneyToonArmy Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 NUFC owner Ashley calls in football's Mr Fixit Sep 22 2008 by Alan Oliver, Evening Chronicle MIKE ASHLEY has called in football’s top Mr Fixit to help him sell Newcastle United. And Ashley and his team of Dennis Wise and Tony Jimenez will sit down on Thursday and have a look at the managerial situation – after the Carling Cup tie with Tottenham Hotspur at St James’s Park. The Chronicle revealed on Tuesday that Ashley was on the verge of calling in former Football League chairman Keith Harris, who now holds a similar position with top City investment bank Seymour Pierce, to find a buyer for the club. And after having no luck in Dubai, Ashley has now put the situation into the hands of the man who brokered the deals that saw Russian Roman Abramovich installed at Chelsea and American Randy Lerner take over at Aston Villa. And my information is that, despite inaccurate reports Ashley was asking for £480m in Dubai, the United owner will be happy to get back the money he invested in United – around £200m. Keith Harris usually does not mess around and there has to be a good chance that he can come up with a buyer in the near future. It has to be remembered that when Mike Ashley bought Sir John Hall out a year gone May, everything was sorted out in just 24 hours But reports that a Nigerian consortium is ready to pay £350m for United will have to be taken with a pinch of salt. It’s no secret that while Ashley has been trying to sell United, there has been no progress on either a short-term or permanent manager to replace Kevin Keegan. And certainly reports that eight managers have turned United down could not be wider of the mark. For United have NOT offered the job to anyone. Indeed, headlines yesterday saying Terry Venables had turned Ashley down to answer an SOS were not correct. As reported in the Chronicle on Saturday night, I spoke to the former England boss on Friday night and he said that he has not been approached by United and saw no point in discussing the matter any further. Now the latest name being linked with United is their former boss Kenny Dalglish. The only consolation for United is that Wednesday’s opponents are in a worse state than they are on the field, with Spurs having made their worst start to a season for 34 years.

ikri Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 The entire wealth of Nigeria wouldn't come to 350 million would it? Nigeria produces about 2.5% of the world's oil, so they're a little richer than that. Besides, you've not taken into account the vast amounts of cash trapped in the bank accounts of the recently deceased. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigeria is probably the wealthiest African state. But also the most corrupt nation on the planet. Which is why I wouldn't want a Nigerian consortium anywhere near the club. Meaning what? All Nigerians can afford tomato sauce on their chips? A Nigeria snippet: "Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa and the eighth most populous country in the world with a population of over 140 million. It is a regional power and it is also listed among the "Next Eleven" economies. The economy of Nigeria is one of the fastest growing in the world with the International Monetary Fund projecting a growth of 9% in 2008 and 8.3% in 2009" Meaning it has a GDP similar to that of Switzerland. Of course, it also has the population of the UK and Germany combined, but there's still enough wealth to go around for a few rich people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost as bad as Ashley, though he's got the money and doesn't spend it being a tight cunt that he is, at least you could hope he might one day stop being a Scrooge McCunt.
