Dave Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I'm of the opinion that if this doesn't happen then Ashley will stay. It's one or the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest labrowski Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 What are peoples contingency plans like for when this inevitably falls through? Meself I've got a straight razor and a warm bath drawn. Six cans of special brew that will probably knock me out until the next lot of rumors start!

Guest Mani Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 If this Meat Loaf takes over, Will Nufc become a PLC again? I'm guessing he will float us for sure. Whether thats a good thing or not, I don't know. Anyone care to shed some light. Would take a while before they would think of floating the club. Would it be a good thing though? It's always good in my eyes to have different people owning the club. Like Arsenal for example. All from the same family like last time isn't good though. Yeah I hop he can attract some big investors. Even Though the Hall's milked alot of money, we were still spending alot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I'm of the opinion that if this doesn't happen then Ashley will stay. It's one or the other. Me too. Please give us some good news this time. Not sure I can take another negative outcome of a rumour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Llambias speaks! From the BBC article: Newcastle managing director Derek Llambias said in a statement: "We would love to be able to expand further on the sale and managerial position at the club, but we're very sorry we're unable to make any further comment at the present time." Not a denial... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes1986 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 If this offer is £80m+ then Ashley would be an indiot not to sell. He has to cut his losses and get out of this club. Can you imagine the reaction if he rejects an offer from someone with the club at heart who has made the highest bid and he takes it off the market. Surely he knows he can't reject this.

Tsunami Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 If this goes through I hope to god he has substantial American backing behind him. If he doesn't and we don't go up we could be in for another rough ride. If Seymour Price are good to their word (!) they wouldn't be backing a deal that didn't safeguard the club's future; would they? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 This will turn out to be bollocks. Im sure of it. Just like every other takeover story thats come about. This one will be no different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
