Ash Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Thought what he said was quite positive to be honest. He obviously can't say too much but he did give some decent information. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wally_McFool Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Before the end of August, 1 or 2 will probably come in. This guy seems to know what he's talking about.. Pity the interviewer never said to him "Who in the right mind is going to for Newcastle in its present state?". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthiGeordie Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 He is not goona say anything about the deal... If the deal is about to announce tomrrow he can't say anything he is a broker he have no right to broke the news but it is fair to assume nothing will happen this week.

TRon Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Talking about us now. He is definitely acting for Buyers as well. 'Shock' to our revenue line from relegation is 'very severe. Around 35 - 40 million difference. Latest is 'We are doing quite well. I wish there had been an announcement but it is not through lack of interest. As opposed to 2 years ago, the glass is half empty instead of half full.' Avoided a question about Shearer, talking instead about the main problem being the wage bill. 'I thought the timescale was set, it was important to show the players were capable of being sold. Potential buyer no has an income from a player (Martins) as well of having him of the bill and he wasn't suited to the Championship' Expects a few more to leave and 'one or two' to come in. 'Clearly not going to be sold before 5.30 on Saturday' He says he expects on or two players to come in...but on who's recommendation? There's no manager so that doesn't sound likely.

More worrying for me is that it sounded very much like it was his decision to sell Martins, based on the fact that he was not suited to Championship football. Whether this is true or not is not the issue, but surely his strengths lie in financial issues not team ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Just a thought re: Martins, transfer embargo etc, but is it possible that the transfer embargo has NOT been lifted, but Martins was fortunate enough to have a relegation release clause on his contract?
