TRon Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I found it somewhat odd that neither The Journal nor Chronicle mentioned this "story" at all today. I found it even more odd that I couldn't see a thread on TTastic when I looked in earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 MA said Sir Bobs seats will be his for as long as he is owner. Seems a strange thing to say if a deal is close Well i'd love to see a bronze of bobby in that seat forever more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzaA2 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 If this is a wind up it's in very bad taste to continue it with SBR's death. How low will people sink to deride newcastle fans, it beggars belief. If it is true then it'd be good to let the fans know now so we can look forward to a brighter future without MA I think its more likely that they're delaying an announcement in respect of today's news. I don't think anyone would sink that low mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phil K Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 rumour I've heard is that there is only one bidder and thats Shephed at £65million Now I wonder who started that rumour... Maybe due to Ashley's smoke and mirrors on other bids showing no end product and we're almost at the start of the season rather than Shepherd as you claim.

Guest DavB93 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 rumour I've heard is that there is only one bidder and thats Shephed at £65million It ain't no rumour...Shephard has bid £65 million for the club and only had one lot of communication contact from the club and that was to say if he wanted to increase his offer.

macca888 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 For what it is worth, Iran are not a bad side and have some fairly useful players. They are the current Asian champions and have a history of some of their players doing well in europe, especially Germany. The talk of Ali Daei is very interesting. He is by far, the most famous player to come out of Iran and played mat a high standard of club football with several teams in Germany including Bayern Munich. He is their equivalent of Alan Shearer and would probably be useful as a forwards coach at the club. If it is true about this bloke buyng the club, then interst in the middle east will probably boom for NUFC. Furthermore, if he is working out of Dubai, he may have a lot of useful connections in the finance world, which he could bring on board. However, my main worry is that there appears to be nothing on the internet about him although several very reputable middle eastern newspapers are quoting him and they are not often wrong.
