thomas Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Inciteful indeed Sic? Somewhat. Just got this off Newcastle blog dont know how reliable it is but its inciteful on prospective buyers if its the actual ones or speculating ,who knows but hopefully we can find out a bit more in the next few days .

Consortium of one Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Just picked this up off tribal football but i dont know if this is made up or not . Keegan return unlikely at Newcastle * Premiership News PRINT | EMAIL | COMMENTS (0) Keegan return unlikely at Newcastle 16.10.08 | tribalfootball.com There is unlikely to be any triumphant return to Newcastle United for Kevin Keegan. Keith Harris, the man employed by owner Mike Ashley to flog the Toon, reckons none of the interested parties want King Kev in charge. Harris said: “Nobody has said to us that having Kevin as manager is a condition for them to go forward. “Whoever the new owner would be, it would be their choice and there’s a wealth of management experience out there. But no one’s said it’s a pre-condition.” That is media spin and selective quoting of the Keith Harris interview. It doesn't say Keegan will be back and it doesn't say he won't be. Why should whoever is trying to buy the club mention who they want as manager? Newcastle and Keegan are totally separate. It's not as if Ashley could guarantee Keegan would return. I'd be worried about a buyer who only wanted NUFC if they could get Keegan back. Yep. Not sure why anyone would specify that Keegan as manager would have to be a "pre condition". I'm sure any prospective owner who wants Keegan to return would speak to him beforehand but I don't see as a precondition it would be a deal breaker. The only way it would have any importance would be if Keegan had a personal services contract with Mike Ashley, rather than the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBG Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Even if it is from NUFC blog, that Xu Rongmao link sounds good. Chinese money would be the safest bet in the current economic climate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 No news is good news, no one will know anything until the club is flogged. I just pray we are flogged before the January transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE5 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 any prospective buyer will be aware the club will be a lot cheaper if they wait until we are possibly a championship club. Good job done by mikey there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job done by mikey there. But then it'd be worth less, wouldn't it? Why not wait until it's in the Conference? it won't be worth less at all. The potential is the same. Just a cheaper buying price. Brace yourself for the possibility. Edit. Strange this, but its just occured to me that people once floated the daft idea that Fred would do this to buy more shares for a cheaper price. There is now a very real possibility any prospective new owners may have weighed up the situation and are prepared to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what I mean I don't use hindsight. Its just a suggestion, and a possibility. None of us know what they are thinking, all we know is things appear to have quietened down.

Whats stupid now ? Seriously, its a possibility, so why rubbish it ? If you don't agree, fair enough, I'm not sure if I think it will happen myself, I hope it doesn't, but it might.

There are no guarantees of getting out of it. excusing the spelling that particular point is what I had in mind ......... From one owner who knows nowt about football, to another. Hopefully not. I'm just wondering if anyone out there IS interested, and if so, why has it gone quiet ? If its the asking price, you can bet your arse they will be waiting to see if it comes down.
