ponsaelius Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 There's nothing I hate more than people fabricating bullshit, and if bullshit is exactly what I've been told then I'll be pissed off. Ignore it or believe it, like I said I don't care. We'll see on Monday anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Jerusalem Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I've told people already what the press conference is about...Nicky Butt is being made player-manager. I really don't know why people are failing to grasp this news. I don't beleive that for a moment - I have an ITK who says that he's being named Life-President and is going to appoint a management dream-team of Cacapa and Des Hamilton, with Gary Brady as Director Of Football.

It just means you've read the papers. Fucking hell man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I don't want to be regarded as some 'ITK' or whatever. I don't read the s**** written in the papers either, but I had the fortune to speak to somebody who has strong connections with the club, and it's too tempting to post what I've been told. I don't want to post any names because It'd be disrespectful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 http://www.sundaysun.co.uk/sport/newcastle-utd/newcastle-utd-news/2009/08/23/mystery-group-confident-of-buying-newcastle-79310-24508760/ Mystery group confident of buying Newcastle Aug 23 2009 by Neil Farrington, Sunday Sun A MYSTERY consortium remains confident of buying Newcastle United – despite talk of Mike Ashley officially taking the club back off the market tomorrow. After months of stalemate at St James’s Park, and with the transfer window barely a week away, Ashley is set to announce his plans for the Magpies’ immediate future. And Barry Moat’s struggle to raise the money to meet Ashley’s asking price has raised the prospect of the Newcastle owner shelving his sale plans and renewing his search for an interim manager. But an as yet unnamed consortium – whose interest in United was revealed in last week’s Sunday Sun – believe they can strike a deal for the club soon, whatever is said tomorrow. The group concerned have been in direct talks with Ashley’s representatives rather than supposed dealbrokers Seymour Pierce. If Moat – although thought to have financial backing from a property developer, Ben Zion Rabinowitz – does fall short in his takeover bid, there remains the possibility of Ashley offering him a place on the club’s board. But the prospect of Alan Shearer making a permanent return to St James’s as manager remains distant, with the former United captain yesterday dismissing rumours that he has quit his BBC pundit role in readiness to retake the Newcastle hotseat. One would-be buyer who has been ruled out of the running by Ashley is Fanbase 410, the group proposing to relaunch Newcastle as a Barcelona-style, fan-driven democracy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
9 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 ive not really followed the takeover thread but i dont get how Moat needs bank loans to take over when he has "financial backing from a property developer, Ben Zion Rabinowitz" also why are we pushing for this bloke to take over when he is needing the club to sell 3 more key players to get bank funding, or do we need to do this even with ashley staying put?

Guest Iron_Duk3 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 The Sunday Sun know nowt, they're making it up man just like most of the journos out there. Ben Zion Rabinowitz ! Do me a favour..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 If we don't get sold in this transfer window we need the club to have an unassailable lead at the top of the Championship by the January transfer window. That way Mike Ashley can officially put the club up for sale in January (as a Premier League bound club) rather than ruin another Summer transfer window.

Guest Phil K Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 "To announce news of NUFC's future on Monday" Now where have I heard that before.... As for the protest putting potential buyers off - I said so at the time. Even allowing for that - I am baffled that teams of limited appeal like Portsmouth and Birmingham are having interested parties, we are getting suspicious groups with no cash. Graham Roberts talking about Newcastle fans putting money into THEIR bid made me a bit more than "suspicious" to say the least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I don't know if the rumour of a mystery bidder coming in at the death is bollocks but my only hope is that just as Fat Mike might have decided that the good start makes the club worth hanging onto, maybe some rich party will also be tempted to make a late move.

Thats why Barclays want the overdraft reduced before any deal is done. Which means player sales. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 There really will be hell to pay if that fat cunt does the same shit stunt he pulled last year that resulted on us going down. If he takes the club off the market will he also apologise for wasting the fucking transfer window when we should have been rebuilding the entire squad? Will he fuck, fat waste of space. All of us are going to be absolutely seething tomorrow Especially when returns aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
