manorpark Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Is there any chance that the announcement on Monday might be positive with regards to a takeover? Yes it is possible that it could be a positive announcement. A lot of people on here have put two and two together though . . . and made about 42 (HHGTTG) . . . Myself, I think the odds are about 60/40 in favour of the announcement saying "XXX will be taking over WEF xxx". So, 60/40 - what do the rest of you think?

maze Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Is there any chance that the announcement on Monday might be positive with regards to a takeover? imo, yes! I don't see any wrong in staying positive that it might be a takeover on monday. I've been excited, had my ups and downs all the summer, so I can hang on till Monday, no problem. And I think everybody should, even the realists, critics and pessimists, cause there no need or point in suffering and throwing away a good, relaxing weekend! Edit: and there no need predicting anything, we've all seen how accurate predictions and IKTs are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geordiekev Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Press release: After months of trying to find a suitable buyer Mike Ashley has came to the conclusion that he will remain at Newcastle United BUT will sell a majority share to local millionaire Barry Moat (a front runner in the sale saga), Mr Moat was unable to secure the funds in full due to the current financial climate so an alternative option had to be sought, both Mike Ashley and Barry Moat agreed that this was the best and only way forward, Barry Moat intends to take over full control at a later date when cash flow fails to be a stumbling block. Sadly Alan Shearer has refused to enter into contention to lead the players in their quest for promotion and was quoted "At this present time I wish to remain at the BBC and will not be commenting on any further situation at St. James Park until such time I see fit, someday I will return but this will have to be on my terms and alongside a individual director that I can place my trust upon". Steven Taylor also finds his exit as the curtain closes on yet another saga saying "I remained hopefull until the end but sadly due to a poor working relationship with my bosses I feel I have no further future here, It breaks my heart to have to draw a close on my career at the football club I have supported since I was old enough to chant it's name (infact my favorite baby grow was one that sported black and white stripes and a great big blue star on the stomach) but the threat of being benched and the club touting me about like a cheap pair of Nike Air Max on the shelves of a well known budget sports retailer, I am left with no other option". So as the fog decends on the Tyne the outlook is a little bleak, can Moat do enough now with 5 days remaining in the transfer window or will his new buisness partner carry on as usual... only time will tell.. Damn I hope I can be proving wrong and that all of the above is just me watching to many episodes of the X Files a few year back, Headlines I'd like: Ashley sells to local Millionaire Moat Moat in partnership with Shearer to get North East club back on right track.. The Simpsons extra returns to defending Springfield in Argentina as his international teamate finds his form and gets a brace to open his account with the Geordies. Steven Taylor welcomes ex-England defender and looks forward to building a solid working relationship on the field. In related news ex Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley is quized by Scotland Yard in connection with fradulent transfers involving Spanish clubs, Newcastle United vindicated of any involvement. The trio of Mike Ashley, Derek Llambias and Dennis wise are currently under arrest charged with the above and await further questioning, should they be found guilty then the three men could be subjected to a jail term and assets removed due to illegal gains, the Inland Revenue are also awaiting a response from the three parties involved..

Guest Wally_McFool Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 For at least the 63rd time we are getting told that there will be yet another announcement in a few days in which we will undoubtedly be told that there will be another announcement in a few days.

mouldy_uk Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 It's so difficult to tell with all the misleading stories over the past few weeks, but I would go for 70/30 stay/takeover I would probably put it higher than 70 for staying, but I'm still confused as to why the announcement has been set for Monday rather than just announcing it today. I could understand the delay in annocuning he was staying if we were playing at home on Saturday, but we're not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that we have been led down the garden path too often by Ashley and co to trust them. Its best getting the thought in your head that Ashley is staying, will not spend 1 penny more than he has to, is going to continue selling players and that O'Leary or Kinnear will be coming in as boss. By doing this at least you wont be disappointed if and when this happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 The press seem to be staying quiet on which way he will go. I expected them all to be reporting he will announce the club is of the market, but as of yet they seem to think it is still possible we will be taken over.

I could quite easily see this scenario. No actual takeover, Ashley stays, but some cosmetic changes announced in the hopes of appeasing the fans.

BlueStar Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 The results so far could turn out the be the worst start to the season we could have had, if it's given Ashley an inflated idea of our chances of promotion and therefore an inflated idea of what the club's worth.

Maybe if we were currently lying at the bottom of the table he would accept even a lower offer to sell. Theres no offers though. So whats he going to do? bring in a partner or keep the club. Take aside all the published bullshit offers and theres no concrete offers on the table, despite thommo and the rest of the done deal briggade. From what weve seen it likely to be Moat-Ashley partnership hence the handshake bullshit at the matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 My prediction is that on Monday it will be announced that the club will not be sold. There will be two inexpensive signings and three more loan deals. Before the January window, rumors will surface again and these rumors will gloss over the fact that January's window will close quietly with little action. Sale rumors will commence just prior to the end of the season and, if the club gains promotion Ashley will really sell the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
