wyn davies Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 If someone pays that amount of cash for the club,they will want to recoup that money when they come to sell,so who in their right mind will pay that in todays market, as I'm thinking who will buy when they wish to sell should things go tits up/ relegation/bust.

Of course people have complained about every single element that you have listed above. It is the nature of subjectivity. It is just as possible to replace the word "complain" with "defended" (or whichever similar word is appropriate to the context), and the above list would still be just as valid.

indi Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Oh SSN, oracle, knower of all things, can you let me know what this week's lottery numbers are? You don't want to win the lottery. Oh, I think I might be able to force myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 why does anyone even remotely believe this shite from people on SSN or "sources close to the club" or whoever the fuck is peddling the bollocks from London this week? Because after 28 weekly of printings "KK TO QUIT TOON, TURMOIL IN GEORDIELAND" they finally got one right so now of course they're in the know and should be believed.

Kimbo Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 We know nobody will pay that price. Ashley knows nobody will pay that price. Potential investors know nobody will pay that price. Everybody knows nobody will pay that price. If that number is real then it is just a starting point, Ashley is probably hoping to get close to the £300m mark, which would be high, but then he knows he's dealing with multi-billionaires.

It is something to talk about & the club being up for sale has even overtook the hunt for the "new messiah" as the major talking point at the club.

James Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 And you would know that how? No-one knows anything. Do you seriously think Ashley will be bothered about how our debt is paid off or how much we spend on transfers? Well his statement did say that he'd only sell to someone who had the resources to give us what we want. Whether true or not we have to wait and see, but Ken Bates did something similar with Abramovich for Chelsea's debt iirc. Although for now, no-one knows anything about anyones motives, so I'll just speculate on the speculation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRL Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 If the current financial situation in the US continues that will mean about 50m pounds by the end of the week. Haha, reminds me of Andy Murray's interview after the US Open. "You may have lost, but you have still won $250,000 so you must be happy with that?" "It's about £10 at the minute isn't it?" Dollar is hovering around an 18 month high against the pound, also doing well against the Euro. What's happening in the markets impacts us as much as the states (see ftse v dow today). What we wanna do is get our investors to come from Switzerland or Japan, then they can take advantage of a few decent days of fx adjustments...

Ericz Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Ashley just wants $$$. Look at the price he quotes for sale "According to the sale documents, Ashley wants to recoup his entire investment, plus take a massive profit. - £480m.' http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=572848&sec=england&cc=4716 What he said about loving Newcastle United are all a pack of lies. It is typical PR stuffs to be honest. If they really have money to burn, Ashley should just take back his initial investment or perhaps take back part of it and leave the remainder for us to invest in new players instead of asking a big profit for himself. Big profit = Business mentality = personal profit (It's not going back to Newcastle United in any way or form). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
