BONTEMPI Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 The promising thing is that this group were apparently looking at buying us (or investing) before. You'd therefore imagine they've seen a lot of how the club works and what is going on/wrong already. That's surely much better than someone we've never heard of deciding to just buy us on a whim like Ashley did. You're right very promising and the fact that the debt's been cleared and only 100m to pay instead of 200-300 plus will probably force their hand allot more irrespective of if we're a premiership club or not.

Superior Acuña Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I'm going to Singapore next month. I'll drag them back if it's not done. Of course, I don't know much about them, but it sounds decent. And I like the idea of a Singapore group as i have links there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 lee ryder on SSN said they came over from singapore last july but they weren't interested in buying, shearer is their number 1 managerial choice, feels shearer's demands have been exaggerated, the e-mail fiasco is "another kick in the teeth for the Geordie Nation" all in all, nothing ground-breaking there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Sounds promising, but not much to say when it's still at the rumour stage. And lest we forget we thought Ashley was our saviour when he arrived. Could be great though... certainly hope so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

9 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 not getting my hopes up, but at least this coming out will hopefully get things going, if others are interested it may kick them into action Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Also, I'm heartened by the representation the club already has there. Just on that web page there is Dalglish who has managed here and worked extensively with Shearer, and that former Commercial Director. I know people say it doesn't matter as long as they get the job done and tbh I agree, but it's still nice to think there could potentially be people coming in who really know what the club means to its fans. That's something Ashley and his cronies have spectacularly failed to grasp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its fkn bound to go wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONTEMPI Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Could be all tied up before the weekend. If Ashley gets what he wants for the club and they check out there's nothing hidden in the books then nothing to really stop it, also with no manager to have to get rid off it should be an easy takeover compared to some.

Could be great though... certainly hope so. "Better the devil you know" does not apply to Mike Ashley. he's the worst of the worst. I'd love to see him bankrupt and living on the streets of Tyneside in a few years.....can he play the accordion? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Every little bit of news (rumour) about the club in the preceding fortnight had been tragic, so it's nice to read this today. Fingers crossed there's an upturn in our fortunes/luck on its way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 So who would we want in what roles? Kenny Dalglish as DOF? Steve McMahon as Chairman? Vince McMahon as HT entertainment? Oh and Darren Venn? Probably far too early to speculate mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
