dcmk Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I hope he doesn't get so desperate to cash in on us that he would consider selling the stadium name rights Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 If he was going to sell what has he been discussing with Shearer all week? New theory: Shearer is part of a consortium buying out the club. Discuss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Looks like the club is suddenly well in reach of a cetain bald headed fat person. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcmk Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I assume that there's already some interest around - or at least I hope so. We can't be doing with too much further instability. I can understand the decision, because there's so much ill-feeling surrounding him that the atmosphere is far from ideal for the rebuilding job ahead. I won't condemn the guy. He made mistakes, but Keegan let him down badly. And us. Did Keegan rape your dog? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 "Soon" is worrying, in Ashley's world "Now" is a few months. It's for the best though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Fuckin wanker has wrecked this club, absolute fuckin tosser. Hasn't had a fuckin clue wot he's been doing, thought it was an easy job, taking us over, spend a bit of cash and we'd always be up there. Truth is, he does care fuckin less that we are relegated, he'll take his loss on us, walk away and never think about us again. Meanwhile us fans... Still, its all KK's fault like.

ikri Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I assume that there's already some interest around - or at least I hope so. We can't be doing with too much further instability. I hope that he's already had a real offer and that by releasing this statement now he's just trying to spark a bit of a bidding war. The club cannot afford yet another 2-3 months of ownership uncertainty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouldy_uk Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Does that mean we have to go through weeks of speculation about every foreign businessman with more than £2.50 in the bank, that has always secretly supported us, wanting to buy us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcmk Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 the uncertainty rolls on. awful news imo, timing wise. we're f***ed. This. No players can leave/signed until 1st July, im sure some investors see potential in a cut price club who are under performing and (undervalued?) as on paper have alot of assets and plus points.

midds Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Anyone who buys the club takes over all of the current players contracts and any liabilities. I'd be surprised if anyone has a nibble at us. Even for £100m. The club isn't (currently) worth that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see this as good news, he fkd himself all the way serves him fkn right.. Because if there's no "quick sale" we have no manager and a board who aren't willing to do anything.

I see this as good news, he fkd himself all the way serves him fkn right.. I'm not worried about Ashley disappearing, not one bit. He's proven himself incapable of running a football club. I'm worried about how this affects the permanent appointment of a decent manager and our transfer dealings leading into a critical season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 damned if he doesn't sell damned if he does Obviously the discussions with shearer are to keep the playing of the club and restructuring of the squad to happen and so he is appointed permently, incase the sale of the club doesn't happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Im absolutely over the moon with this if he sorts it quickly. Ashley has never been up to it....horrible decision making. Reality is, hes a greedy twat & will not be looking to negotiate much atall...& it will get drawn out. I just cannot see this going quickly, no chance.

dcmk Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 When Ashley goes THEN everyone will drop their agendas, so im pretty happy. Spending 2 seasons in the Championship wouldnt be the complete worst thing in the world. Providing its 2 years maximum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true, the window opened at 6pm today. However, players and agents refuse to move until July because it means they miss out on their annual loyalty bonus.

Dave Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 The potential positive is that if some group or individual was floating around before the end of the season and was willing to buy with £250m in their pocket, they might be more interested now and then have more money to rebuild the squad.
