Dave Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Colo's Short and Curlies won't be happy. Btw Keith Harris was on Talkshite this morning and basically said that the two yanks interested in NUFC pulled out because of the credit crunch and that bloke who skanked investors. They'd each lost over $300m apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest black n white Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 How would someone minus a "Wireless" go about listening? For anybody that misses the program it should be on bbc iplayer for about a week after i think. Would'nt be surprised if a few football clubs go under after tonights broadcast. The people who ran the Bradford and bingley building society did'nt know they were going under until they read this blokes blog. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fading star Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Back in October Keith Harris explained what he means by ‘debt free’. “I know him (Ashley) well and I’m representing him now, he has actually cleared up Newcastle’s debt. On the balance sheet it shows they don’t owe money, they owe it to him. That’s not debt, that’s equity, a more efficient way for an owner who owns the whole business” So what Ashley has actually done is lend the club enough money to clear some of it’s debts. This benefits Ashley because he no longer has to pay interest on the loans, but the club still owe the money and you can sure Ashley wants it back. http://www.journallive.co.uk:80/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2008/10/10/ashley-may-have-to-stay-as-sale-of-nufc-uncertain-61634-22004777/ It’s all half truths and misdirection with Ashley and his henchmen.

Dan Gleebals Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 It is likely any debts paid off to external creditors by Ashley will now be showing on the balance sheet as a directors loan made by him. This loan could in effect be subject to interest at an agreed fixed rate or tied to the bank of england. The loan agreement would stipulate the duration over which the moneys are to be repaid. In effect, clearing our commercial debts (i.e. to banks) but leaving us with a debt to him instead. He would therefore be profiting from the debt (potentially). As for Mr Peston, there are no flys on this guy - he is one step ahead of the game and although people wonder who his sources are - they are clearly reliable. It would not suprise me if a few suprises come out this evening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 It should be interesting to see what he's got to say. Portsmouth and West Ham look like being the clubs most at risk since they're selling players to cover debts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fading star Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Thanks for the info. Ashley made reference to an interest free deal a while back, but as is the case since he took over everything is as clear as mud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Like NE5 to a Shepherd thread..... Can I swear in this thread? Robert Peston is a fucking cunt. He is the king of the cliche - listen carefully tonight, he will say absolutely nothing ground just repeating the same clap trap and half baked truths that he always does. He loves a soundbite and mouthing off over hysteria, read the story behind most of his blogs and you will see that it is more rubbish than the ghosts on Most Haunted or Alan Smiths goal record. And as for his sources, criminals more like, feeding senstive information to the media before it is announced to the LSE - its illegal but these 'sources' make plenty of money doing so. I predict: West Ham and Pompey will come up. Liverpools debt restructuring will be mentioned. We will be classed as at risk and a big deal will be made over how noone would/could buy us in the present climate Chelsea will be discussed in light of Roman ever buggering off He'll suck off Gordan Brown if he gets the chance. Add to that the fact that he has got the most smug pratronising voice in the history of rodent kind and you get one really spiffing chap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
