Dave Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Caulkin: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/football_league/article6789257.ece This threatens to be a pivotal week at St James’ Park because there is only so long for talks to continue between Newcastle, Seymour Pierce, the investment bank charged with selling the club, and Barry Moat, the preferred bidder. Soon, an offer must be made and Ashley must decide whether to stick or twist. Moat is due to speak to Alan Shearer, the manager-in-waiting, today, but Newcastle remain on a precipice. The alternative — a dreaded one — is that Ashley remains for another year and appoints a new manager. Given that Shearer and Ashley have not held talks since the club were relegated, he would not be favourite for the role. It also explains why certain unemployed managers have suddenly received publicity. Derek Llambias, Newcastle’s managing director, has denied reports that Joe Kinnear could return and did the same yesterday regarding David O’Leary’s candidacy.

Skirge Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 He refused to comment on the Moat situation, the O'Dreary thing is utter bollocks I think, the papers just picked an out of work manager and ran with it. Aslo if it had came from the Ashley camp I say its more of a hurry up as no buyer will want to have to sack a manager straight away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Just came off the phone to my ITK - He said we're going to be taken over this Wednesday, providing everything goes to plan. He said Barry Moat is edging closer and closer and there's just one or two things to iron out before the deal goes through. There'll be a press-conference at 4pm on Wednesday.

Skirge Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Newcastle takeover talks reach critical stage • David O'Leary linked with team if Mike Ashley keeps control • Alan Shearer will be in charge if Barry Moat buys the club Simon Williams Sunday 9 August 2009 22.00 BST Alan Shearer is still awaiting a resolution in the Newcastle saga. Photograph: Owen Humphreys/PA Newcastle United have denied reports that David O'Leary will be installed as manager should takeover talks with the Tyneside businessman Barry Moat collapse this week. O'Leary has been heavily linked with the vacant position at St James' Park in recent days and although the club's owner, Mike Ashley, will not appoint a manager at this stage, he will do so this week if the Moat deal collapses. Sources have indicated that Ashley has already considered potential candidates, but deny he has made a decision to offer it to O'Leary, who has not managed a club since leaving Aston Villa in 2006. Joe Kinnear, who was forced out of Newcastle by health problems earlier this year, Alan Curbishley and Gordon Strachan are being looked at as alternatives and all are currently out of work. Should Ashley appoint his fourth manager in two troubled years it would mean the sports retailer, who is due to return from a holiday in Hawaii tomorrow, has taken the ailing Championship club off the market for the second time in seven months because of a failure to find a buyer. There is a growing sense of urgency surrounding the takeover, with Ashley deciding that a decision needs to be made this week. Although Newcastle managed a 1-1 draw with West Brom yesterday the first-team squad is desperately short on numbers and Ashley and the managing director, Derek Llambias, know players will need to be signed by the new manager before the transfer window closes in just two weeks' time. That has increased the pressure on Ashley to accept Moat's offer, which has been recommended to him by Seymour Pierce, the bank in charge of the sale, as its preferred bid. As a result Ashley is willing to re-open negotiations in an attempt to break the deadlock. Talks will resume tomorrow in the hope of reaching a resolution, although Moat has still not put together a package that meets Ashley's stringent £100m asking price. Alan Shearer will definitely become manager if Moat is successful and the former Newcastle captain is set to press both parties for answers, having watched the game against West Bromwich as a frustrated pundit for the BBC. Shearer is adamant he still wants to take on the job despite being stuck in limbo since the end of May and admitting the "seven or eight players" he had wanted to sign "have all gone to other clubs". He has privately indicated the next 48 hours will either make or break his bid to become permanent manager after an eight-game stint at the end of last season. Given the bad blood that has developed between them over the summer, Shearer – who has not had any contact with Ashley or Llambias for more than two weeks – would be reluctant to work for the Ashley regime if the club were taken off the market. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/aug/09/newcastle-deny-david-oleary-reports Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzaA2 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 The way I see it Llambias can't comment at the moment. this sounds hopeful to me that a deal is about to be concluded but why speculate? The season has started so just enjoy the football and wait for the club to make a real announcement. No need for another 300 pages before then is there?

Guest gjohnson Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Think it's probably realistic to conclude that outside of Llambias and Seymour Price that no-one actually knows what's going on. To be frank, aside from the identity of actual bidders and how much they're offering i doubt even Mike Ashley knows what's going on as it's clear he spends most of his time dealing with his other businesses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season has started so just enjoy the football and wait for the club to make a real announcement. No need for another 300 pages before then is there? No need to discuss the potential lineup for Reading. We'll find out an hour before the game anyway. No need to speculate who's leaving and who's staying. We'll find out soon enough anyway.
