Howaythelads Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 A brilliant squad Well that's not exactly word for word tbf but yeah, it's like everything is perfectly fine. He even got in some cliché-tastic 'best fans in the world' bumlicking for good measure. To be fair he's not far off the mark with the fans comment. Thought the crowd on Wednesday was great considering the state of the club. People putting a brave face on and trying to group together in spite of Ashley. Nowt to do with the fact that people like watching football and even more so if we play well and are winning? No, you're right its a sub-conscious mass social phenomena of embattlement and defiance in the face of adversity. Of course. Chez Given in revelation that people go to a football ground to watch football. Earth shattering. They would even like to see the team they support win and play well too? I had taken it for granted that the people that "Support" a football team would turn up and probably do the above. You may have missed it. We have an owner called Mike Ashley who has upset a lot of people by making alot of stupid decisions, that have cost the club alot of money and its premiership status. During this time alot of fans ripped up season tickets, refused to renew, some people even protested, some during matches which affected players on and off the pitch. You might have missed that too. I might leave the NUSC out as you obviously have alot to catch up on. My opinion, which you might have also missed is that there are alot of fans, maybe the majority that are coming to games putting up with the present situation, holding on to the weekly hope the club will be sold and the mess will be sorted. I think there is a good chance you might see the attendence fall, season tickets ripped up and protests come the end of the window, if the sale isnt completed and players brought in. The fact remains we will always have supporters that will just continue to put a brave face on and try to group together in spite of Ashley. That might be pretty obvious though, unless you missed it. What on earth prompted that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Radio Newcastle this morning stating Ashley has given Moat until 5pm tonight to get it sorted. I hope that's true one way or the other (hoping Ashley fucks off of course), but I highly doubt it. 'Sources' will deny it in the Chronicle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I noticed that, so did BBC cause they didn't link to it like they normally do. Could have course be a Radio Newcastle exclusive which late editions of the Times have picked up on. Either way hope it's true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another one of MA's "deadlines" which he makes up in the bath the night before. I totally agree with that, apart from the bath bit. I think he's too fat to get out of a bath these days, although perhaps he has some kind of motorised mechanism to hoist himself out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 If everything is in place for the Moat deal to complete then the only obsticle would be Ashley. It is like buying a house but, obvioulsy on a far grander scale. You get a call from the solicitor to go and sign because the money has transfered and once you have signed you can collect the keys to start moving your stuff in. Recon Barry Moat has a van full of stuff waiting to get the keys for his new office in St James' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Mate, you're as deluded as the tossers who said it was impossible for anyone worse than Fat Fred to be running the show. There is every chance the club will be relegated. In fact, I still think the aim of Ashley is to totally destroy the club, writing off the losses against something related to his other "business." Sure it was explained before that the only losses Ashley can 'claim' are those between the purchase price of £132m and whatever happens to the club. Its a bit rich calling people deluded tossers when your claim is even more backward imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pedro_de_geordieo Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Mike Ashley, the Newcastle United owner, has given Barry Moat a deadline of 5 o’clock this afternoon to buy the club. It is believed that Ashley is close to accepting that he will have to keep the club for at least another year. Sources close to the retail magnate said that he has still not received word from Moat that Barclays, Newcastle’s lender, has approved the sale. The bank must agree to roll the £40 million borrowings over to Moat’s consortium before he can buy the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I think this is it lads. This is the deadline. The deadline that leads to the deadline that leads to the deadline that leads to the deadline that leads the deadline that will lead to a resolution to this.

Ashley17 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Let's say this is true, hypothetically. I think this is because of the Taylor bid - selling more players makes the club difficult to sell, but Ashley needs to get the debt down and can't refuse offers for players, really. Therefore if Moat can get get close to buying the club today, they don't need to sell Taylor. If Moat is still miles away, Ashley will sell him as he will continue to treat NUFC as his business.

The reality is that Ashley has priced himself out of a sale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with that and was thinking the same. If Moat agrees to buy the club then Taylor stays. If not then Taylor leaves and Sol Campbell signs.

KaKa Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 What if the club has indeed been sold to the nameless Middle Eastern consortium Thomo told us about? What if the sale is only validated once the wages have been reduced to a certain amount (hence the player sales)? What if Moat has just been in on an elaborate scheme to help keep the media and fans "entertained" while all of this takes place behind the scenes. What if I am ITK?
