Dave Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/football-league/newcastle-set-to-make-takeover-announcement-1775452.html Newcastle set to make takeover announcement By Damian Spellman, PA Friday, 21 August 2009 Newcastle will make an announcement on Monday over ongoing efforts to sell the club. Owner Mike Ashley was expected to make a decision by the end of this week over whether or not to accept one of the bids currently on the table, or to continue running the Magpies himself for another season. However, talks with local businessman Barry Moat, as well as two other consortia, are continuing as Ashley looks to strike a £100m deal for the club he bought for £134.4m a little more than two years ago. The longer things go without a conclusion being reached, the more likely it appears that the current regime will stay in place with the transfer deadline fast approaching and the Magpies' squad threadbare in the wake of 10 departures and just one arrival. However, although time is running down, the possibility of a new owner taking over remains alive, for now at least. The news will do little to appease fans who are hoping for a change of ownership and the installation of a new manager - most favour Alan Shearer, who would be appointed by several of the competing consortia - and have vented their anger at Ashley in recent months. However, they have also been pleasantly surprised by their start to the Coca-Cola Championship season, which has seen the team take seven points from a possible nine and will send them to Crystal Palace tomorrow sitting third in the table behind leaders Cardiff only on goal difference. Should Monday's announcement be that Ashley has decided to take the club off the market for the second time after a lengthy, but ultimately futile search for a buyer, he will then face a decision over his manager. Impressed by the way Shearer had run team affairs for the final eight games of a dismal campaign, he spoke to him at the end of last season with a view to making his appointment permanent. However, he put the club up for sale just days later after the former Newcastle skipper had outlined his plans for the way forward. It is understood Ashley believes greater experience is needed, and the Magpies have sounded out a series of potential bosses, including Joe Kinnear, in recent weeks. But caretaker Chris Hughton, who has received the backing of several players following a positive start to the campaign, has insisted he is happy to remain in charge for as long as his services are required.

Guest antz1uk Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 my take on it is that if the club were to be sold and completed, it would not be the current regime that would announce this, it would be the new owners, as what happens with the sale of any club were stuck with him am afraid and always have been, Barry Moat has been used to flush other bidders out and it obviously hasnt worked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 remember, for ashley to recoup as much money he need's to sell now or hope for the club to go straight back-up he isn't that stupid to allow the club's value to go down to almost worthless for himself a sale will happen eventually, as the crowd's will disappear if he doesn't sell or we start doing badly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish Mag Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Fat Ashley is staying. Llambias mouthing off to the press over the last few days is a clear sign of this IMO. Llambias going on that BBC Total Sport programme last night etc for me is a clear sign. They have never been bothered about communicating with us over the last couple of years so why now? If they were on the verge of selling up surely the would just take the usual stance and not even bother saying anything after all what would it matter if they were going to be out the door within the next few days.

STM Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 There is no way in my mind that on monday we hear anything other than ashley's staying, which is not welcome news. However, the end of the uncertainty is welcome, albeit too late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 remember, for ashley to recoup as much money he need's to sell now or hope for the club to go straight back-up he isn't that stupid to allow the club's value to go down to almost worthless for himself I've not seen anything to indicate that he's not that stupid. Our good start to the season's probably made him think we're going to walk this league with no need for things like players or a manager and he would be stupid to sell now and let someone else cash in come the start of the next premier league season.
