Tooj Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Dont know if already posted, but the bloke who just bought Portsmouth said he wanted to buy us a couple of months ago for 200million but Ashley told him he wanted 400million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was common knowledge that that same man who now owns Portsmouth headed up the Abu Dhabi takeover of Man City, he said they'd tried to buy Newcastle first but Mike Ashley turned their offer down. How different things would have been for us if he'd accepted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Interesting thought from NUFC.com regarding NUFC being available for around £80m: - the cheaper the price, the more chance of our being targeted by investors who at best are enthusiastic amateurs like Ashley or at worst, serial football investors who have landed on other clubs previously.

If true 80 million is a very good price for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we can do is hope Ashley sells to someone who appears to have the club's best interests at heart rather than the first to pipe up waving the cash around.

STM Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I'm not bothered about how rich our new owners may be, i'd far rather they were sensible with their ideas, honest with their communication and backed their manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying they don't need to be honest, have the club's interests at heart etc, but if they can't afford some serious investment it won't matter.

STM Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Dave Whelan Bill Kenwright Al Fayed Neither of these have megabucks but they and their clubs have come out of this season in FAR better positions than we have, with glowing reports for their managers too. All three are tossers but everyone of them has shown more awareness of the game than Mike Ashley, damning IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Just an aside but Billy Kenwright was despised by a lot of Everton fans up to around 5 years ago. He even got death threats when he signed Moyes as it was showing his level of ambition. Look at him now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phil K Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Wishful thinking I should imagine there'll be more likely a group of assett-strippers or Nigerian Scammers only ones interested Baffling really. If this club was successful, it would be a bigger gold mine than a successful Man City/Everton/Liverpool or even Chelski Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
