thewellander Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I've had a kidney stone for the last two months that I can't pass, which I've decided must be the metaphysical manifestation of this transfer saga (pain and frustration!). Anyways, good news, I'm having it removed tomorrow. So if my theory is correct, we should be sold tomorrow night as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiGeordie Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I think the mommentum is with the Americans Moat last chance is tomorrow and there is no eveidnce the bank already loaned him the money. So starting Tuesday Morning we are left with the americans and Ashely in which case i prefer the earlier the better... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustynrg Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 This has nothing to do with the takeover, but since this thread is already uselessly long and utterly lacking in substance anyway.... I was rick-rolled in a cab tonight. Damn song started playing literally the second I opened the door and jumped in. Being drunk, I froze for about five seconds fumbling for Ctrl+Alt+Del on a non-existent keyboard. That is all. I was shopping the day I read Redheugh's ITK blurb and Rick came on the shop radio. Naturally I took it as a sign, but then forgot about it until I read the above. There's no such thing as coincidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite all the recent deadlines on a sale imposed by Ashley, Moat needs the extra time to find out whether he and his backers can raise the necessary additional money to ensure lenders Barclays Bank are not in a position to close down the club at any moment. Moat, even with the shortfall in his current funding plans, retains the full confidence of football club brokers Seymour Pierce, whom Ashley has instructed to sell Newcastle. The difficulties Seymour Pierce have encountered in finding a genuine new owner for Newcastle include sham buyers presenting documents claiming fictitious support from a Swiss Bank, while another offer included the endorsement signatures of the HSBC high command without their knowledge. At least Moat is recognised as a realistic purchaser who, if successful, is expected to get rid of Derek Llambias faster than the time it took the current managing director to streak across St James' Park - and then deny he did it. It's strange how some papers are just completely ignoring this US story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, they come out from nothing, Llambiarse said they've been talking for 2 weeks and they still have to give proof of funds and despite million speculations came out from newspaper and websites of any kind nobody had mentioned them till 3-4 days ago. This can be either a great or an awful sign, I don't know it yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're right, but I think we'll find out that there's a big difference between what Mike Ashley should do on Tuesday and what he will do on Tuesday.

It wouldn't be a surprise if Moat doesn't pull out as well now that the sale has dragged on after the transfer deadline, then Ashley can go and stick his £100m price tag up his arse.

Decky Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Is Moat actually a good buyer? It sounds like he hasnt got a pot to piss in, in regards to running a football club this size. Just where will the money for transfers etc come from if he is struggling to even buy the club? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lets Dance Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 It sounds like he hasnt got a pot to piss in, in regards to running a football club this size. I agree. Recent articles seem to indicate that Moat is struggling to raise the funds just to buy the club. Why would Moat think he would be viewed as a more desirable owner by fans if the only way he could take control of the club is to repay Ashley the asking price back over say 10 years? Any future cash generated by the club needs to be put straight back into squad investment. With Moat at the helm I think we would languish in the Championship for a good number of seasons (if lucky). Moat would no doubt argue that the fans wanted the geordie dream so he gave it to them. A geordie owner with a geordie manager trying to bring through geordie talent but not a pot to p$#s in! It's like Moat wants to buy some big American muscle car then does not have the funds to stick petrol in and maintain it. As each day passes the car will depreciate more and become rustier and rustier Moat doesnt sound like the answer to our prayers. We need an owner who isnt phased by this overdraft and is looking to heavily invest in our squad over the next year or two. The problem is there aint too many of those about right now!

junkhead Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hopefully they'll make me eat my words but I reckon there's no 'US-based group' involved. It's probably just another scam by the dodgy bald fella. If anybody takes over it would be Moat and it could drag on for several more months..

SteveMc Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Redheugh has been about pretty consistently over the last few days. As for Moat none of us have any clue what is going on. It has been said that he has backing, but the money will only be forthcoming when he takes over. Not sure how that would work though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 It seems we've gone from having a couple of promising candidates back to square one: there are no prospective buyers. Ashley is your owner for life. Bow before him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lets Dance Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I reckon there's no 'US-based group' involved. It's probably just another scam by the dodgy bald fella. I'm cynical about all 'interested parties' now as our club has been on the market for nearly a year now and not a sniff of a serious bidder. Why would this US based group come in for us now when the club has officially been back on the market for a couple of months? It does sound like it has been conjured up as a make-weigh to force Moat to sharpen his pencil. If Ashley has made it up then he hasnt done a great job...a US group with tons of cash looking to make us a global brand vs Moat who at present is looking down the back of the sofa in a bid to raise more funds. Hhmm, hardly comparible parties are they?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
