Guest ItalianMagpie Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I think it's pretty clear that the takeover won't happen in time for transfers (IF will ever happen). I think that everybody waited to see if it could be sorted out in time, it didn't happen, so Ashley is going to bring some loans in (and not necessarily on Monday) to somehow survive till January. In the next weeks talks will go on and if we're lucky we'll have new owners by the beginning of next year, otherwise Ashley will try to get us back in the Premiership if we're still competing for it with few decent signings, or he will just wait fot next summer to start all over again. I'm not any ITK, but that's what's going to happenĀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brummiemag Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 We need the Americans to get rid of this Geordie nation idea.Ā It's an invention of the football press, who then say it's come from the fans. This due to a few hundred "cockney mafia" morons. Ā Wasn't it Freddie Shepherd who came out with the 'Geordie Nation' nonsense? Ā I'm sure it was John Hall who came up with 'Geordie Nation'. A pipe dream maybe , but I wouldn't call it nonsense. With support like ours, and the love of a region like no other, who knows what could be achieved with the right long term backing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/American-consortium-close-to-buying-Newcastle-article137977.html American consortium close to buying NewcastleĀ Published 23:21 29/08/09 By Brian McNallyĀ An American consortium is closing in on a deal to buy Newcastle United that will restore Geordie legend Alan Shearer to the managerās office.Ā The Sunday Mirror can reveal that talks taking place in London between the US businessmen and representatives of Seymour Pierce and owner Mike Ashley have made āsignificant progress" towards ending the 11-month takeover stalemate.Ā The Yanks, who have a background in the North American sports industry, insist they have the cash to satisfy Ashleyās asking price-which initially was Ā£100million - and further funds to develop and market the club and sign players.Ā And, crucially, they insist that the closure of Tuesdayās transfer deadline will not scupper negotiations as far as they are concerned.Ā The Americans plan to install Shearer as manager, but have been impressed with caretaker Chris Hughtonās work at the club and will offer him a senior coaching role.Ā Tyneside businessman Barry Moat is Seymour Pierceās preferred bidder and was given an extended deadline by Ashley six days ago to try and raise the necessary funds. But Moat could be running out of time as the Americans push to clinch a deal.Ā A source close to the American bid told the Sunday Mirror that it offers the best chance yet of changing Newcastleās ownership.Ā He said: āThis bid is both serious and credible. The difference between this and other bids is that the funding is there to buy the club if agreement can be reached on other financial areas such as the clubās Ā£39million overdraft.Ā āIdeally, the consortium would have liked the business completed before the transfer deadline closed but they are serious about buying the club and wonāt rush.Ā āTalks are under way and Mike Ashleyās original asking price shouldnāt be an issue. But it will take time and because of all the other disappointments the Americans have to play their cards close to their chests.ā.Ā If a deal goes through Newcastle would join neighbours Sunderland, Liverpool, Manchester United and Aston Villa in being American owned.

LiquidAK Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Sounds absolutely perfect tbh. Money to buy us, buy players, market the club. Shearer as manager, Hughton being given back a coaching role after a job well done.Ā If this had happened 2 months ago we couldn't have asked for much more.
