Liam Liam Liam O Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 From reading the forum I was expecting the link to be ebay or something, rather then a very ordinary club statement I'm glad they've confirmed the price they want officially, unlike last time. Has any other club sold recently put a page up on their official website confirming the asking price? Genuine question, because I don't know that they have. It just seems laughably desperate to me. The email address is just the icing on the cake. In any case, aren't they supposedly paying Keith Harris to find a buyer? It was probably his idea.

bovineblue Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Holy f***ing s***. http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1687615,00.html NUFC Statement The Board of Newcastle United can today confirm that the Club is for sale at the price of £100m. Interested parties should contact Newcastle United at [email protected] (or Keith Harris at Seymour Pierce) for further details. The Club will not be making any further comment at the present time. Years of planning and millions of pounds for Ashley to set up the greatest RickRoll ever? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy please tell me you don't think this statement is a good idea and doesn't make the club look like even more of a laughing stock amongst fans It's not an ordinary statement it's a joke statement.

Contact them, see if they'll pay you for an ad on here. I just think let them get on with selling it however they want tbh. I'm guessing Keith Harris was involved in the statement on the website & I'm guessing he's been involved in corporate disposals before. I wonder if they have spent time fielding pointless phonecalls already similar to that story that was in the press about Portsmouth yesterday & have set the email up to combat that?

The email address is just the icing on the cake, they're practically begging. In any case, aren't they supposedly paying Keith Harris to find a buyer? Considering this same info is in just about every national news paper and on the biggest Sports news channel in the country I really doubt they thought "I know loads and loads of random billionaires visit NUFC.co.uk, we're missing a trick here". Its an official statement, probably primarily for fans. Whoever has put it on the site has worded the last line poorly so I suppose it deserves a bit of mickey taking But I wouldn't actually draw conclusions about the status of the sale from it.

The price tag was widely reported previously and I find it impossible to believe anyone seriously interested would find it difficult to contact them without an anonymous email address being set up. If it works it works, and the quicker the better. The bigger point however is that this suggests to me nobody at all wants to buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonTastic Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 The longer it takes the more i start to think the £100m doesn't include Ashley writing off the debt which means nobody will touch us with a barge pole as the club will then be costing closer to £200m than £100m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been on the market less than a week though, I'd have been amazed if it was sold that quickly. A lot of what people on here are saying is pure speculation, from the stuff about the advertised asking price being a lie to the threat of administration. He clearly wants to sell it, people clearly want him gone, so I can't see the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
