JH Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 The closer we get to a conclusion, we're immediately fucking dragged away. It's like one step forward, two steps back with this greedy bastard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 What did you want? "Ashley tells squad club sold Shearer incharge tomorrow" Even if he had told them that Hughton was not going to be the one to break the news to the media, as soon as Moat seals the deal SSN will be told and the official site will have an update, could be tomorrow morning may not be for a few more days.

Guest johny2k Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 hughton didn't even know that Duff,Martins, Beye et al were sold probably until he read it on news now like the rest of us so him knowing whether Ashley was talking about takeover is highly unlikely. Nice guy but knows about as much as us it would seem! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'm still convinced very little is going on behind the scenes. Having Moat at the match hasn't changed my pessimism regarding the sale of the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I don't see how the fact Ashley's trip to whever wasn't specifically to seal the deal immediately obliterates all of the "in discussions with Moat" stuff, calm down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how because Moat was sitting next to Ashley that anyone believes this thing is going to be done anytime soon. Nothing suggests that our takeover is close.

Scoreboard82 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 It's gonna be sorted soon, one way or another, i reckon. Even confirming they are in talks is more than they usually let on. They don't have to say anything, so that makes me hopeful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how because Moat was sitting next to Ashley that anyone believes this thing is going to be done anytime soon. Nothing suggests that our takeover is close. That pretty much suggests it to me. I can't see why either party would want to go through such a charade unless something was happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I think its quite positive that Moat has been named. As part of the NDA noone was allowed to be publicly named which makes me think that Moat is almost done, if he wasnt, his name would have been kept undisclosed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustynrg Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 From Skunkers re Graham Roberts bid: can't say much as have signed confidentiality agreements its a hybrid real madrid model as i see it (not same as barca but similar) will reduce debt to nil IF it works as far as i know the funding model is in place and the intellectual rights to the model secured I don't pretend to understand how the model works BUT fan representation is at the centre of it hence the involvement of the trust - there will be a list of members similar to barca/madrid I understood they were speaking to harris last week thurs/fri BUT perhaps harris is trying to push the moat deal through - this might just spur things along that's about all i can really say i think and that's probably too much! So they haven't talked to Ashley or Harris or Llambias but they've signed a confidentility agreement? Is Graham Roberts a big gambler who visits London casinos perchance? Perhaps he'll bump into old Derek there then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Why would Ashley be sitting next to Moat against Reading if there were two other prospective bidders? Nothing about this makes any sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moat was going to be at the game regardless of the takeover crack though. Even though it's been confirmed that Moat is indeed the front runner surely that means the takeover could still take along time? I mean look at portsmouth?

ED209 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 could they be parading and naming moat in the hope that it forces another group into action? if we dont make a bid, it will be gone style? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Basically because there are no other bidders, this is the biggest heap of bullshit This is what i think, i doubt theres anyone else. More likely that once again theyre trying to drag a bit more out of him. That or Moat and Ashley are mates & Moat was never intrested in buying. They just used his name to pull out others & push them into upping their bids. The latter seems a bit to clever for Ashley and co though as it would actually require some brain power, so its more likely to be the first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that Barry Moat is a diehard Newcastle United fan, I doubt he'd get himself involved in shit like that with Mike Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewellander Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 There's no need to panic just because the club hasn't been sold today. I'm sure there's more to it than Ashley handing the keys to the stadium over to Moat. These things take time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
