Leading local businessman Barry Moat is so impressed with owner Mike Ashley's blueprint for the future that he has already committed to renewing his executive box at St. James' Park for a further five years.

 

 

s***, so he's thick as mince aswell then.

 

Moat probably wants Ashley to stay as a chairman  :laugh:

 

Isnt Lambias the Chairman ?

 

And?

 

Sorry for the comment , i was being pedantic , no negativity allowed from me now in this thread.  

 

When i first heard Barry Moat i thought of the guy from Peterborough for some reason.

I don't think Moat is overly wealthy, I'd presume his brother will also be involved, but that would probably be the Bruce Shepherd equivalent.

 

Not sure he's got the money and that the club will probably have to remain on the business model that Ashley had us on, only without the managerial chaos and DOFs and all that.

 

He's going to need to know what he's doing and how to make the club a success. Otherwise we have a Southampton situation where he haemorrages money and get held to ransom by a Rupert Lowe (Freddy Shepherd), sells up only for Shepherd unable to do any better.

Have you even read the story?

 

We don't know if there is a consortium involved yet, or the extent to which they are providing the backing.

 

Fucking hell... didn't you buy the Iranian Manboob story hook, line and sinker? ... now the Chronicle and The Times have a story, supposedly leaked from SP, with a bit of logic to it... NOW is the time you choose to be sceptical.

 

:laugh:

 

James & logic? You having a laugh?

 

To be honest this is completely different. There is no details thus far as to how much money any of these people actually have, these people could be absolute paupers compared to Mike Ashley for instance, so can't really get our hopes ups that things are going to get fixed.

Isn't this just what we as Newcastle fans live for? Who else feels like they can't wait to wake up tomorrow to find out more about this? For every day of pure bollocks and negativity, we do deserve something like this to come along and be true.

Here's for Hope!  :occasion14:

As long as they have enough money to fuck Ashley off and do a little initial business (appointing a manager etc), how much money they have to burn is completely irrelevant if the club is run correctly.

 

We know this from Ashley's tenure ffs.

I agree, sort out the manager and make a few changes to the playing personnel, and we are in a much better position, but the club has to be run well. If he turns out to be a bad chairman, it could turn into a disaster over the next two or three years, after the initial boost.

 

Basically, we are praying for a business model equivalent to the Sunderland one.

The identity of the consortiums remains a tightly held secret — both signed confidentiality agreements when they provided proof of funds with a view to beginning the process of due diligence — although it is understood one is from the Middle East. A group based in the United States has also been involved in talks in some capacity, but Ashley is believed to have dismissed the viability of a consortium involving Freddy Shepherd because the former Newcastle chairman is reluctant or unwilling to raise enough money. However, Harris has said that “Newcastle is a club where local influence is really important.”

Exactly. This club could be a goldmine if it's run properly.

 

Just a relatively small sum of money and a bit of stability cold put us back in the hunt to get promoted this year. Get the fans onside and get a bit of momentum going and we could piss this league imho.

Leaks all over the place.

When the Moat comes in for Toon

 

By ANDREW DILLON

 

Published: Today

 

A NEWCASTLE tycoon is poised to save the Toon - and bring back Alan Shearer as boss.

 

The Sun can reveal businessman Barry Moat is the new frontrunner in a £100million buy-out from Mike Ashley.

 

And his first task will be to install Geordie legend Shearer as permanent manager.

 

Moat was chairman of Big Al's testimonial committee three years ago and the pair remain close.

 

He also has a plush executive box at St James' Park.

 

A City source last night confirmed: "Barry is Newcastle's best hope of salvation.

 

"Talks are well advanced, although nothing is signed yet.

 

"He's a Newcastle fan through and through. He loves the club and has been devastated by what's happened.

 

"He'll do everything he can to make this deal happen."

 

Newcastle fans are desperate for a local man to ride to their rescue after the nightmare of owner Ashley's disastrous reign.

 

Shearer went public in June and declared the club needed a northerner to repair the carnage left behind by Ashley's 'Cockney Mafia' of Dennis Wise, Derek Llambias and Tony Jimenez.

 

Moat invested substantial sums into the club's academy, saying: "As a lifelong Newcastle fan, I am delighted to support the club's new initiatives of investing in the academy and enabling more young fans in the region to see their heroes play.

 

"It's vital for a club like Newcastle to make sure it recruits the best young footballers at an early age and encourages them to develop their full potential."

 

Moat, founder and director of workplace retail giant Premier Direct, renewed his executive box at the club for five seasons in 2008.

 

Shearer is in a no-man's land, with Ashley reluctant to re-appoint him as Newcastle boss until a new owner is found.

 

Despite his failure to save the club from relegation to the Championship, Shearer is far and away the fans' favourite.
