TRon Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 If it is true what the Journal are climing and Ashley is asking for payment of some kind in to a speified account then this is great news. As with any large sale a designated account controlled by lawyers acting on behalf of the clients is normal. Even better is the signal of intent by Ashley that he is infact willing to deal and is putting the ball in the court of Moat to either put up or shut up! Either way IF this is correct I find it encouraging. Or it could be that Moat doesn't have £25m to put down immediately and Ashley is using that figure to tell him to fuck off basically.

Skirge Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Mike Ashley weighing up St James’s return Aug 11 2009 by Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle MIKE ASHLEY is contemplating making a return to St James’s Park for Newcastle United’s first home game of the Championship campaign against Reading. The Chronicle first revealed on August 5 that Ashley was preparing to take the Magpies off the market and bring in a managerial figurehead, with former Leeds and Aston Villa boss David O’Leary believed to be at the top of his wishlist. So far, Seymour Pierce have failed to conjure up a buyer for United who can match the sports tycoon’s asking price of £100m and inherit the club’s Premier League wage bill, despite expectations being raised by the investment bank’s Keith Harris last week. Ashley missed Saturday’s trip to the Hawthorns as he was still out of the country, but he has since returned from Hawaii and is thought to be eyeing the clash with Brendan Rogers’ side. A source close to Ashley told the Chronicle today: "Mike is thinking about being in his seat on Saturday. "He has already said that if he is to remain in charge of Newcastle, he will go to games. "When the club came off the market last year Mike went to the games during the run-in." When Ashley took United off the market last season he notified fans via the club’s programme in his notes for the home game with Liverpool on December 28. But the club confirmed today that there are no such notes planned for the Reading game. Tyneside businessman Barry Moat has also been heavily linked with heading a consortium to take United off Ashley’s hands – but has so far failed to come up with a financial package that comes close to tempting the Sports Direct entrepreneur. Ashley’s PR people said today: "As it stands the process is still ongoing, although it’s a slow process. As far as Mike is concerned, he either sells it or he doesn’t. Then he will make plans accordingly." And when pressed on Moat’s bid to take the club on, a representative of the Ashley camp said: "Barry Moat is not in the driving seat. There are still others out there but nothing is likely to be resolved before Saturday’s game with Reading." The concerns for United fans, though, is that Chris Hughton’s already decimated squad could be slashed further by the time the transfer deadline on September 1 comes round. Should Ashley be forced to stay on, he is likely to give Hughton, or any potential interim manager, the go-ahead to bring in new blood, and the former Spurs full-back has already had encouragement to bring in two young players in on loan from White Hart Lane. Meanwhile, the agent of Jonas Gutierrez has refuted claims Olympiacos are keen on signing the Argentina winger. Pedro Bravo Jimenez dismissed the claim, saying: "Nobody from Olympiacos or any other club from Greece has been in touch with me about the player. "There is no inquiry or offer. These reports are not true." Panathinaikos also dismissed reports that they were set to launch a bid for Gutierrez’s countryman and Newcastle team-mate Fabricio Coloccini. "There is absolutely nothing in that at all," a Panathinaikos Press spokesperson said. "At the moment Panathinaikos is not in the market for any new players, it’s as simple as that." http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2009/08/11/mike-ashley-weighing-up-st-james-s-return-72703-24370496/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
