NG32 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 This week great! Sol Campbell great! What's the bet the person approving the loan at Barclays hates newcastle with a passion? Nailed on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 So much optimism (extensive signings, new owners) can lead to so much depression ( fire sale, same owners) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Ashley retaining control would dent the enthusiasm of United’s support after an uplifting victory over the weekend that kept the club unbeaten in the Championship. Almost 35,000 were at St James’s Park and they sung loud and lustily in favour of Ashley relinquishing control of the club – songs that were met with grins by the United owner. And he is prepared to batton down the hatches and take the club off the market if Moat or another bidder doesn’t come forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sturla Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 So much riding on Barclays. According to the Journal: Approved: Moat, Shearer, money for new signings, no further departures. Rejected: Ashley, Kinnear, no new signings, Jonas and Taylor to be sold along with other players that will get bidded on. We haven't had much to smile about since our Ashley took over so I prepare myself for the worst outcome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ItalianMagpie Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 There's something I'm missing here: how will Ashley be able to insist that he wants £100 million for the club if he's cutting down its value by selling most of the players? I guess that if the club was worth £100 million 2 weeks ago now it's surely not. Of course it's not only the players lot which affects the club's value, but it's an important part of it anyway. I cannot think that none of the two (or more) businessmen involved in the negotiations took this into account. The club could still be worth 100 million but the debt the new owner will inherit will be considerably less. Yes, but also the squad's value will be less. And the debt is still there, only the "future debts" are reduced now. What are you talking about? When someone appraises Newcastle United and decides it is worth 100 Mill, it is taking into account how much the squad is worth. If Duff is sold for 4 mill, the club isn't worth 4 mill less, the 4 mill has just been transferred from a player to cash in the club bank account. the club is still worth the same. I don't understand how people don't get this. Ok but would you buy a club without players with 2 weeks to go in the transfers window? The money we're getting now goes to reduce the debts, but also the context has to be considered: how many chances has the new owner now to get the club back in the top flight at the first attempt?

Guest ObaStar Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 We have players, I mean we've lost a lot of first teamers, but as we have seen from our first two games, our reserve players are good enough at this level. Most likely we will only loan players this year and we can do that well past the September transfer deadline. And I fail to see the importance of going back up at the first attempt. Its obviously preferable, but I don't think anyone looking at our club is going to say "Right, they've sold Taylor to Everton so I'm no longer going to buy the club and there is no chance for promotion."

Money basically. If dropping down from the Prem causes so many financial issues for clubs, then promotion sees the opposite. The reason we're selling so many players is that we can't afford to pay them so much. I suppose by getting promoted, we get more money in, but have to pay out more - I suspect there is a lot more extra in than out though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MW Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I love the Championship so far, not missing the Prem at all, will probably hate it by the end of the season though, would love a promotion campaign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
