Guest Wally_McFool Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Alover as in, Harper not happy, fans not happy, no sale yet, Ashley being honest, wants £100mill no more no less, no bidder has paid that asmount David Craig's statement on Sky sports News completely contradicts Llambias's comment a couple of weeks back that 2 bids of over £100 million had been lodged. These 2 are taking the piss out of the people and are deliberately decimating our football club. I now have no doubts that Ashley has no intention of selling NUFC and that he will put the club into administration if and when it suits him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Come on lets be serious here, who the hell would want to buy us? Club in turmoil, the fans are disillusioned, players are disillutioned, a club thats known as the national press whipping boys. If you were a foreign billionaire with no legience to any english club, what club would you buy? Probably not championship newcastle. Or a Club that hasn't averaged less than 36k for nearly 20 years (50k+ for at least 8 yrs). Runs at about 95% capacity in a relegation season. It isn't the players job to be disillusioned its their job to play football under whatever manager is chosen to put the team out. I think the £100m is a give away price for the potential income over a number of years. A price you could only get because we aren't in the Prem. Anyone making the club even slightly successful - ie. top6 in Prem would almost certainly make their money back in no time at all or be a position to sell at a huge profit if it is in good shape and well run. The sticking point in my view is Ashleys loan and how it is to be structured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless one of the other local teams is getting taken over by Bill Gates there's nothing to gain by trying to sell the land. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were a foreign billionaire with no legience to any english club, what club would you buy? Probably not championship newcastle. The club is only in turmoil, the fans and players are disillusioned, only because no-one has bought us as yet. A new buyer would easily remedy that. The potential here is massive. Hopefully someone can see that. God knows how much longer this whole thing will drag on for. The suffering, it seems, is endless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 The biggest problem right now is that the more in turmoil we appear to be, the more any potential new owners will feel they can get us for less than what Ashley wants. They will be looking to put the squeeze on him. In reality I imagine this still has a way to go yet. Mike Ashley is being arrogant right now instead of just cutting his losses and selling for the most he can get right now. Made the same mistake last Christmas and it seems he is doing it all over again. With every single day that passes the buffoon only loses more money as the club only loses more value. In conclusion the guy is just flat out thick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Problem is though if any of the potential new owners do not see the issue of time running out then they are not worth having, if they are serious about owning us then they need to get things done fast, not drag their heels hoping Ashley will drop his price. The club suffers whilst they play chest flexing games, fat cunt will not lower the price nor will he take on the debt, its gonna cost around £150mill to get the club, £100mill to Ashley and the rest for the debt and running of the club, if they are not willing or do not have the cash then stop wasting time and come out and say so.

I would put good money on it that his loan is what is holding up proceedings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 One day Ashley will get his just desserts. A bunch of sovereign clad fives cooked up by a local meathead and served directly to the nose would be ideal for the bucket of lard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear what you're saying Skirge. I think we are pretty much in a scenario where the people who are interested are not desperate to buy us. Therefore if Ashley isn't willing to drop the price then they are equally happy to walk away and not buy the club. We are not in the prem anymore and we need serious investment to get back on track and so the interested parties most likely feel that we are not a club worth getting at any cost. For the first time I really am beginning to feel that Ashley keeping the club is now a real possibility and so have started to ready myself for this outcome. This would likely mean no Alan Shearer and we can only pray it will mean no Kinnear either. Ashley did this exact crap last Christmas and it really does seem he is at it again as incomprehensible as it seems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Not being able to sell the club after trying twice speaks volumes about the man don't it, he is a marked man like he won't be safe Geordies are everywhere and one day years downt he line when he thinks he is safe it will come back and bite his fkn throat out. Best thing he can do is fkn emigrate to the moon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I've been out all day - my dad just mentioned something about Hughton intimating that he won't be in charge for the Darlington game.

J7 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Kinnear will probably be in charge by Darlington. This is ridiculous. People like Mike Ashley should be locked up for the scale of their mismanagement. He's already cost people their jobs the fat fuck. Would love to see someone smack the fact cunt.

The sticking point in my view is Ashleys loan and how it is to be structured. Head in the sand, speaking from the heart rather than from your head. If all owners want is a big turnout in attendances then they might aswell buy Celtic or Rangers. 100 million is a give away price you say? For a Championship team? 100 million for a club playing in the championship with tv money less than 20 percent of what they get in the prem. No garantee of promotion, Give away price? I don't so.
