When Habib goes it'll be the straw that broke the Camels back for me. I honestly wouldn't give a s*** what happens to Ashley after that.

Well aye, there's some limits. When Beye goes, those limits wont exist.

Newcastle United Sale Stalls As Financial Liabilities Scare Off Potential Suitors

The due diligence process has uncovered troubling facts about the club's financial state that is putting off investors

There is a growing possibility that Newcastle United will not be sold this summer. A source close to the efforts to find a buyer for the Championship club has revealed that Mike Ashley may still be in control at St James' Park this autumn.

 

Although two consortiums remain interested in buying Newcastle for a figure close to the £100m asking price and others hover in the background, the due diligence process is understood to have exposed troubling facts about the club's financial liabilities. "The process is moving extremely slowly, there is still genuine hope of a sale but it's not looking imminent," said the source. "Newcastle comes with a lot of baggage."

 

Ashley's problem is that once the transfer window closes at the end of August interested parties are likely to postpone any purchase until shortly before it opens again in January or even next summer. Football clubs are rarely sold outside transfer windows and Newcastle's would-be buyers are believed to be concerned about the club's wage bill. That stands at around £65m per annum and is proving a stumbling block.

 

While paying £100m for Newcastle could prove a sound investment if the club bounces straight back to the Premier League, a second season in the Championship would be a huge drain on resources.

 

Though Newcastle could offload some high earners such as Obafemi Martins, Joey Barton and Fabricio Coloccini this close season, realistically any moves are likely to be completed only if the club continue paying a portion of their former players' wages. When Leeds United sold Robbie Fowler to Manchester City Elland Road kept on meeting a sizable percentage of his salary and a source close to Newcastle admitted: "The fear is we could end up in a worse financial mess than Leeds did."

 

Ashley, who has retreated from the public eye in recent weeks, is consequently faced with the unpalatable prospect of continuing as owner or taking a huge financial loss by offering Newcastle at a rock bottom price for a quick sale.

 

While he attempts to find a buyer, Ashley has resolutely refused to appoint a manager, leaving Newcastle under the caretaker charge of Chris Hughton. Alan Shearer is waiting in the wings and hopes to return to the manager's office but he would almost certainly demand that Ashley invest in players suited to the rigors of a Championship campaign.

 

Newcastle, meanwhile, have been dealt a blow by the Football Association, which has ordered the club to scrap their pre-season friendly at Utrecht. With their north-east rivals Sunderland due to play in the Amsterdam tournament 30 miles away on Sunday 26 July police in the Netherlands and Britain had feared there would be clashes between traveling supporters. Since Sunderland had already sold tickets for the event the Wear siders have been cleared to play by the FA.

 

There remains unrest among Newcastle's players, several of whom are threatening to submit transfer requests next week. "We want a manager and a bit of stability," said the center-half Steven Taylor. "We need that, at the moment we don't know what's going on."

 

Such sentiments were echoed by Kevin Nolan. "We would prefer to know whether Mike Ashley is going to keep [Newcastle] or someone else is coming in," said the midfielder. "In the next week we certainly want to know what is going to happen. This situation is unfair on the players and the staff."

What Ashley is doing now is just his revenge on the fans. He hates the feeling of dropping from hero to zero.

Imo if he wants to sell the club, he would still choose the worst buyers and enjoy seeing the club dying slowly.

All he deserves now is death.

I have always said it was 'personal' for Ashley, he HATES what we did to him (as he sees it) over the DoF / Keegan affair.  I used to get told I was mad for thinking and saying that / for being so stupid and melodramatic (things 'like that' just don't happen!!)

 

However, an elementary study of people-types (psychology) shows Ashley to be like that  -  and he will NOT CARE about any financial cost to him, at all.

 

HE has all the power (we the supporters, and the club itself, have NONE).

 

What does it feel like to be turned over and sha**ed - to DEATH - big time?

 

Get used to it (if we even survive).

I don't know why anyone's even worried.  Ashley has set the club up for stability and long term improvement.  Someone on here told me that, so let's just chill the fuck out eh.

I heard a rumour Ashley is overweight. 

 

Has anybody tried calling him a fat cunt?

Part of me wants Ashley to carry on next year then at least some stability will be in place (albeit until the next crisis)

 

The sensible side of me still wants the fat cunt out!

It's just driving me crazy now, it's boiling my bloody even thinking about it.

 

There is clearly something not right with the clubs books because this should have been resolved by now, I think we may be in more of a mess than some people think.

Personally I think having MA in charge of us next season would be a travesty and would further wreck our clubs moral. I still think he will sell but not until a week before the season is due to begin.

We all hate what's going on, but it's ridiculous to suggest Ashley is running a major asset of his into the ground on purpose, just to spite a few Geordies. He's incompetent, naive, incapable of running a football club, but I'm sure he wants out ASAP.

I have to say, it's starting to look like the only real possibilities are either Ashley staying on for another year, or a Shepherd consortium which will be struggling for cash. Out of those two options, and considering the fact I think it's highly unlikely we'll be promoted next season no matter who the new owner is, I think I'd have to go with the best option being Ashley staying simply so he has to shoulder the burden of next year's wage bill.

 

The Shepherds can wait until next season to be our saviours again when the club has less liabilities.
