Guest Heneage Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 If Vialli is actually set to be involved with your club, I'd start digging if I were you.... Why? Because of one poor stint at Watford? He won a good haul with Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 A guy I work with (never been one to talk shite or claimed to be in ITK) has passed on some information that is not really new but may shed light on why everything has come to a standstill. Apparently there have been 3 bids in excess of £100M, however Ashley would only trouser about half of that amount as the bids include paying outstanding transfer fees, undertaking the overdraft etc. Ashley isn't too keen on playing ball as he wants to gain £100M himself, meaning in reality he really wants about £150M. In general it sounds plausible, appart from the transfer fee bit. Surely the overdraft would include any outstanding fee's? What else is it there for if not to pay club expenses such as wages and fee's until revenue is brought in to pay it off? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I am honest to god depressed over this entire thing, am so down man its just never going to end, no club takes this long to sell and thats with one buyer, we have what four? and he cannot do a deal, fat greedy horrbile pathetic minded scrotum sucking basrad.

Skirge Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Alan Shearer 'tearing his hair out' over Newcastle sale delays Shearer's Newcastle future remains uncertain Delays have hampered the club's pre-season plans Alan Shearer's future remains uncertain. Alan Shearer is said to be "tearing his hair out in frustration" as the impasse at Newcastle United continues. Takeover talks remain shrouded in secrecy with the consortiums who have performed due diligence on the Championship club all signing non-disclosure agreements. It is understood that at least two of three would-be buyers are keen to employ Shearer as manager but the owner, Mike Ashley, has refused to install him while negotiations progress in case a purchaser wanting an alternative manager materialises. This means that Newcastle have so far made no moves in the transfer market – either in terms of offloading high-earning players or signing others suitable for the Championship – and Chris Hughton, the caretaker coach, is left to put the increasingly disaffected players through their pre-season paces. "Alan's tearing his hair out," said a source. "The days keep passing and still nothing happens." Interested parties have at least been given guided tours of St James' Park this week but Ananda Krishnan, one of south-east Asia's wealthiest individuals, has denied that he is behind a Malaysian consortium thought to be strong contenders to buy Newcastle. Meanwhile a group of Austrians taken around the ground earlier this week were from the online gaming company, Bwin. Although there are strong suggestions they inquired about buying Newcastle, their sporting interests have hitherto been confined to sponsorship where, among other deals, they have major tie ups with Real Madrid and Milan. Indeed their initial contact with Newcastle came when they discussed the possibility of replacing Northern Rock as the newly relegated club's official sponsors next season. Bwin declined to comment on the precise nature of their visit to St James'. Newcastle's squad are in Ireland preparing for their first pre-season friendly at Shamrock Rovers on Saturday . Controversially Hughton is expected to give Joey Barton a starting place. The midfielder had been suspended indefinitely during Shearer's brief stint as managerat the end of last season and has been made well aware that, if the former England captain returns, his first act will be to get rid of him. One man keen to leave Tyneside is the centre-half, Sébastien Bassong, who today said he was wanted by Arsenal. Bassong, though, was identified by Shearer, who would make signing Jermaine Beckford from Leeds United a priority, as a player it is imperative Newcastle do everything to keep. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/jul/09/newcastle-united-alan-shearer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 The longer this lingers, the more unlikely we'll be sold IMO. If Ashely wanted shot ASAP, he'd have done it by now.
