BlueStar Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Even if we don't exactly set the world alight under this guy, I'm just looking forward to having an owner and manager everyone can get behind. I just want to be able to go to matches and concentrate on getting the points rather than just listfully wondering when our state of limbo is going to end.

Ronaldo Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 It's a shame he's not got serious financial backing and that its all going to be done on a shoestring, but it could be a good thing if done correctly, it would mean high earners like Geremi, Smith, Barton etc... will have to go, there is no choice in them staying if he can only muster £50m of his own coin and getting backing for the other half of the club, i guess there's no room for error and no room for freeloaders if the Moat guy comes in. Thankfully he'll be attached to the region, the club and the passion and of course the misery we've all been though for quite some time, and in that will be born a will to do great things for the club. I can see Shepherd having some kind of consultation role whether its official or hidden on this one while Moat gets used to the ins and outs. Geordie Chairman/owner & manager - should do the right things for the club, its just a real shame the club hasn't got some serious £££££'s to back up their ideas. We have to keep Barton, we have no choice in that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I like the title 'Ashley TOLD to accept bid', I'm sure he'll listen. His reputation is in tatters, and if the agency he employed to sell the club for him say "Accept or else we quit", then that reputation will be even more shredded... That said, he might not give a flying fuck for his reputation any more - he certainly isn't concerned with looking like a dick every time he goes up against Whelan...

Toon Amy Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 NUSC released a statement to the Telegraph and make an interesting point about Moat supporting/being friends with Ashley. Maybe this means if the bid is genuine then it has a good chance of being accepted??? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/championship/newcastleunited/5983027/Newcastle-United-fans-urge-Barry-Moat-to-instill-Alan-Shearer-in-managers-hot-seat.html Telegraph Sport today revealed Moat has emerged as the front-runner to buy the club from owner Mike Ashley and now the Newcastle United Supporters Club are calling on him to restore Shearer to the manager's office as quickly as possible following his ill-fated stint as interim manager last season. "If Barry Moat is the man who can appoint a manager and bring some sort of stability back to the club then I think everyone would be happy," NUSC spokesman Steve Hastie told said. "It would mean that Ashley has moved on and the club is given the opportunity to have some more oxygen put into it because at the moment we seem to be starved of oxygen in terms of being able to live as a football club. "The first thing on his agenda should he take over the club is get in a new manager very quickly and as far as vast majority of fans are concerned that should be Alan Shearer. "I reckon that 99.9 per cent of Newcastle supporters who have been turning up at our roadshows over the last couple of months are all calling for Alan Shearer to be brought back to the club as manager because he is the only person who has actually come forward and said he wants the job other than Joe Kinnear. "The second thing he needs to do is ensure we have a squad capable of surviving in the Championship and climbing out of it as soon as possible because we need Premiership football back at Newcastle damn quick. "At least Barry is a North-East man who is a supporter of the club who has been a big supporter of Mike Ashley in terms of them being friends and having an executive box at St James' Park. "He is fairly well known in the North-East as a decent businessman who is very close to Alan Shearer and he even chaired his testimonial committee. He ticks all the boxes." Should Moat take Newcastle off Ashley's hands, NUSC also want him to involve fans in the running of the newly-relegated, manageress club whose new season gets under way at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday with coach Chris Hughton in charge of first-team affairs. "From a supporters' club point of view we have never been 'Ashley Out', it's been more of a case of supporters in and we want to work with whoever the new owner is to make sure that the supporter's voice is heard," Hastie added. "We have gone ahead over the last nine months to establish ourselves as a supporters' trust and our main aim is for fans to have a voice that is listened to at boardroom level to help any new owners restore those links that have been lacking with previous regimes, whether that be the Shepherds and Halls or the Mike Ashley regime. "We want to be in there, helping whoever runs Newcastle United to build the club back up and supporters can have a big say in how that can happen. "That's the stance we have been taking for quite a while now and we want to reiterate that with whoever comes in whether they're from the Middle East, Far East or North-East of England."
