Guest Walking in a waddle wonde Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Jeff Randall (bloke who's show it is) - where are we on the sale? Keith Harris - big club, team top of league, big crowds blah, blah, blah, but there is interest, DD being thoroughly done over a huge amount of time. (he doesn't say this but the scroll along the bottom says 3 potential bidders but still no firm bid for the club ) wage bill is manageable considering the crowds we get. JR - We wont hold you to this but "gut instinct" will Newcastle United have a new owner by Christmas? (so xmas was put into his mouth) KH - Gut instinct they will. Now the transfer window is over will enable the deal to go through more gently?!?! JR - and almost certainly the new owner. Foreign money? KH- Not necessarily, I think what we'll see is a mixture of local and foreign money which he thinks Newcastle needs at the moment. Well that pretty much covers it, seemed more like an advert to me. Loads of filling in the gaps with shit like bigging our start to the championship up pointing out what a massive club we are (3rd highest ave attendance last season) and what it would be like if you got it right speill and how they couldn't understand how Portsmouth and Notts Co had been bought by "outsiders" foreigners.

So, we've BEEN HAD . . . and in fact we are "still being had" . . . so well played Ashley, he has COMPLETELY won the battle all summer. Brilliant.

Guest The_Scoreboard Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 So in general: Big Mike has agreed to sell to his mate so long as he comes up with the cash soonish, chum buddy compadre fails to raise the cash so gets more time. in the mean time a few other bids surface from americans and fanbase 90210 but instead of being rude and rejecting them they string them along just incase MOAT cant get the cash this time of 2020. why doesnt he or his muppet derek come out and say that moat is his preferred purchaser instead of pissing everyone about?

Teasy Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Are we really now supposed to believe Ashley is a generous guy who will ignore a real offer from someone else to allow his mate to come up with the money? He'd hit Moat with a shovel and bury him in the center circle if it meant getting £100m for the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been the only official deadline set. I think it is reasonable to assume that he will give Moat a reasonable length of time 7-10 days to sort the overdraft out.

LiquidAK Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Now got 4 months to get sold and get a manager in, now that the window's closed it doesn't really matter when it happens as long as it's before the next 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Don't care about the particulars tbh or who has or hasn't accurately filled in the (massive, massive) gaps between what we know and what's been reported.

Leazes1986 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Aye, we are ok for now, but we cannot afford to not have a new owner by next summer. I'd hate January to come round with us worrying about players leaving and not being able to buy again. Would be fucking great if we can keep our good form up and go into the January window with a new owner and some money to spend which could improve us further.

TooonDoom Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I think the chance of Ashley sticking around in one form or another might have increased due to our performances. There is nothing better than winning. He might be starting to get a buzz about the place again. He does seem to be enjoying his time at the matches. Saying that though he has painted himself in a corner with doing the for sale / not for sale routine before. Maybe the only way he can stay and save face is the partnership with Moat.

Big Geordie Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Not good news. Has this club actually ever been up for sale - really? Ashley has mucked us all about and still is. Shows he has nothing but contempt for us ultimately. I'm surprised Seymour Pierce are still in bed with him over this - they must be charging him a bloody fortune.

Robster Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 For the first time in a while, I am actually looking forward to putting this to the back of my mind in favour of the actual football. The playing side of things has settled (as much as is possible anyway) and the players appear to be playing for Hughton so I just want to enjoy the matches for a change. As far as the sale of the club goes, what will be will be so we may as well just let it run its course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they are only paid decently if they manage to do their jobs, i.e. sell the club? Not doing a good job of it then - this has been going on for a year now. Somethings not right, somewhere.
