So who's going to buy the club?


Recommended Posts

Did anyone see the  new statment  from the City Chairman?

 

Said  that Mark Hughes is the one who'll be making the signings and he calls all the shots, they'll just finance whatever he wants

 

:(

 

Who signed Robinho ?

 

Exactly, so Mark Hughes said to the new blokes, on the last day of the window: "Get me Robinho. And Berbatov. And Torres. Fuck it, let's bd for all those goal bothering motherfuckers!"

Id love it if Hughes stayed basic in his wishes.

 

"Ok boys can I have a £7m bid for Brett Emerton".

 

"Who zee Fack is brett Emerton?"

Didn't exactly say they've finance whatever he wants did they?  They were pretty conservative when talking about the future, focusing on academy and being a sustainable club with reasonable success over the next 10 years.  I'm sure they'll spend money, and it all looks very promising for Man City so far.  But they do seem to be playing down all the talk of buying up all the best players for instant success with a money's no object policy that was claimed before they took over.

I really didnt expect this to happen in a night, but its soon gone three weeks, and there is only a nigerian consormption who has unvieled their interest!

Yeah, it'll take a while, at least we know/think someones (The Nigerians) have bid so thats something to go on.  I can actually see this happening quite wuickly, it's not too dissimilar from the Man City sale although the media didn't really catch onto what was happening there until it was done.  Shinawatra obviously desperately needed to sell and he did.  Only difference I can see is Ashley will want more money than it's worth whereas Thaksin probably took less.

Think the word your looking for is consumption.

 

"A Nigerian consumption ... " is what you're after.

You kidding me, if it was him than i would be over the moon, but i seriously doubt it! He's to stuck watching every Dallas Mavericks game and yelling at the ref from courtside! But i'd love him here, would take him over anyother owner, except Bill Gates, cause imagine getting us sponsored by Windows!

Mark Cuban is a legend. Except doesn't he get into a lot of bother court side in America? Banned and fined for being outspoken?

 

Yeah, but that's what is kind of great about him. He's very aware of everything and constantly questions why certain things are done the way they are by the NBA. He's great.

According to his Wiki page he's recently made a $1.3 billion bid for the Chicago Cubs & whilst he's a billionaire he's not any richer than Mike Ashley so it'd be interesting to see how much he'd be willing to invest in the club other than the initial purchase.

 

He does own his own TV station though, but since the Premier League does collective bargaining on TV rights I'd doubt that he'd be able to get the exclusive rights for Newcastle games even for the US market.
