David Icke - Son of God Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 yesterday this was taking another month, today its the end of the week......does anybody know what the hell is going on? No Lets remember, for all their faults Ashley and co were very, very good at keeping their cards close to their chest/very, very poor at communicating. I'll probably be in the middle of a weary, post-midnight posh wank and jump on here to have a quick browse of the next days news only to find out we've been sold.

For God's sake, someone get Stephen and his ice-cream van down to Ashley pronto. He would give the club away and then give Stephen a couple of million £'s for the van in that case.

Guest fading star Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 If there's any truth in the story that the Malaysian bid is £80m plus taking on the overdraft of up to £40m that must make them short of what Ashley wants by about £14m. Leaking the info is most likely just an attempt to get the price up a bit further. Would publicly lying about the situation to up the price break business law?

Skirge Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Newcastle owners hope for auction as players adhere to Shearer's demands • £40m overdraft and £65m wage bill worry potential buyers • Hughton takes training, but Shearer's influence remains Newcastle's caretaker manager Chris Hughton is taking charge of a punishing training schedule designed by Alan Shearer. Photograph: Ian Horrocks/Getty Images There are still realistic hopes that Newcastle United could be sold by the end of this week but the three potential buyers are understood to be balking at the financial liabilities they stand to inherit. With Newcastle believed to have an overdraft of around £40m and an annual wage bill of £65m the interested parties are employing forensic accountants to perform what one source described as 'due diligence squared'. This is an exhaustively in-depth inventory of the newly relegated club's finances featuring assorted forecasts for the coming years. Meanwhile lawyers currently busy drafting potential agreements are taking time to study ongoing service contracts the club is currently committed to and such factors could impact on the price Mike Ashley, Newcastle's owner, eventually receives for the club. Although outline bids have been received, the £100m price tag is said to be an "issue" largely responsible for slowing the sale. While Ashley wants a straight £100m there is thought to be some quibbling about whether the balance payable should realistically be £60m, for instance, in order to take account of the overdraft and player remuneration costs. Yet as Newcastle stepped up efforts to sell high earners including Obafemi Martins and Fabricio Coloccini yesterday, Derek Llambias, Newcastle's managing director still seemed hopeful that Seymour Pierce, the investment bank brokering the sale, would succeed in forcing an auction. Indeed Llambias was positively bullish. "There have been more than two bids at £100m," he said. "At the moment we are in the hands of lawyers and it's all ongoing. We are giving interested parties all the help they need." As the proposed takeover drags on, Newcastle's players are in Dublin at a pre-season 'boot camp' under the caretaker management of Chris Hughton. Significantly Hughton is adhering to a training blueprint drawn up by his temporary predecessor, Alan Shearer, at the end of last season. Shearer, who still hopes to return as manager before the new Championship campaign kicks off, is responsible for his players rising early ahead of three daily training sessions, the first at 7am and the last at 4pm. "The players are working very, very, hard," said Hughton yesterday. "What is happening at the club is outside our control but we have to prepare the players as well as possible. It's going to be a long season and we want the players as fit as possible. It's good for them to get away and be in a different environment." http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/jul/06/newcastleunited-championship Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but are they conditional bids? I’ll give you £100m if you pay off the overdraft, for example. A month after the club went up for sale again we still don’t know what £100m is buying.
