Nobody Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/north-east-news/todays-evening-chronicle/2009/06/09/group-declares-move-for-newcastle-united-72703-23823325/ Group declares move for Newcastle United Jun 9 2009 by Adam Jupp A FAR Eastern group has officially declared an interest in taking over Newcastle United. The news comes a day after Toon owner Mike Ashley put the club up for sale for £100m and invited people to e-mail in with bids. The organisation, which is based in Singapore, has already said it intends to keep Alan Shearer on as manager if the move is successful. It has links with existing football businesses, including a current Premier League club, as well as banking, property and legal services. A high-profile football figure has been recruited to spearhead the takeover attempt for the group, which was established in the 1980s. even with fuck all information about them, and limited substance to the story. I hope to hell it happens. I just want an end. Agree. I'm so fucking sick of this, just want to get rid of Mike and get a manager in and get started with our preparations for next season.

Guest itsTosh Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Found a bit more on profitable - according to NOTW last August they were interested in buying - http://blogs.notw.co.uk/sport/2008/08/260m-newcastle.html (mind, that's Rob Shepherd of NOTW, so probably made up). Steve McMahon was/is involved with them, and I think the Stephen McMahon on the executives now must be his son. I can't think who else from Singapore would fit the picture the Chronicle are painting.

I can see what he meant, that there are three or four parties interested and have made that clear to Ashley; but the one that gets the club will be the first to firm up their interest by offering the £100m.

Dokko Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Tbh if a new owner cannot raise £100m to buy the club apparently debt free then i'd rather not have them here the tight arse bastards. We want someone with at least a bit of financial manoeuvrability especially if we want to bounce back 1st time of asking and stay in the prem.

Skirge Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Didn't Kenny Dalgleish just take osme kind of job at Liverpool? Him and Shearer love eachother like and would be ideal man for Al to work under, only sort of DOF relashionship that could work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
