Guest ToonBart Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 THE £100m asking price for Newcastle United has been met, club officials have confirmed. The club released a statement saying that the offer had been received, and negotiations were still ongoing. It's understood the accepted bid was made by South Tyneside businessman Barry Moat, former owner of Premier Direct. But it's believed that the chances of a speedy resolution to the saga remain slim, with owner Mike Ashley closing in on a deal to secure a new, reduced overdraft facility with the banks, which would give the club security for this season. Sources at the club say Ashley hopes the team's success on the pitch will improve the club's long-term value. Shields Gazette Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezertron Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 It would make no sense to release a statement stating the price at been met if ashley doesn't want to sell. It also makes no sense to release a statement to the public about it as it doesn't change anything yet. I assume this is why it was told to the press, not via the website? It's going to bite them in the arse if it doesn't come off or Ashley decides to stay. A bit to trigger happy from the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 The Journal article for those that missed it btw: http://www.journallive.co.uk/north-east-news/todays-news/2009/09/19/nufc-admit-100m-is-on-table-for-club-but-overdraft-is-stumbling-block-61634-24727668/ NUFC admit £100m is on table for club - but overdraft is stumbling block NEWCASTLE United last night confirmed the £100m asking price for the club had been met – but there are fresh indications that current owner Mike Ashley is planning to stay. The club issued a statement to The Journal which said: “The £100m asking price has been matched, however, we are still in negotiations and all parties involved are at sale and purchase stage.” The chances of a speedy resolution to the takeover saga are thought to remain slim with Ashley closing in on a deal to secure a new, and much-reduced, overdraft facility with bankers following months of talks. Sources say that in recent days there has been “renewed urgency” in the club’s talks over a new lending deal which will see the club’s borrowing capacity reduced from £39m to around £25m. This would provide Newcastle with security for this season, and Ashley is increasingly pinning his hopes that the team’s current on-the-field success will improve its long-term value, and make it more attractive to purchasers a few months down the line. The Journal understands that local businessman Barry Moat is behind the £100m offer mentioned in last night’s statement. However, it is understood the overdraft facility he is being offered by Barclays is less than that on offer to Ashley, which could prove a major stumbling block. Sources have also confirmed there are two overseas parties still in talks with the club over a potential offer, with both having progressed through the due diligence phase.

I'm not sure if the Moat takeover will give us the finances to be promoted and stay up there in the first go. Though at this point it seems that anyone but ashley will do... Some teams manage to stay up through a crazy combination of good scoutuing and management over huge expenditure, the biggest problem regarding money will be those fans who expect an assault on the top 6 to come quickly. You have to assume Mort(if it is him) has finances above the purchase price otherwise Barclays will never sanction the overdraft given its not a guarantee we will go straight back up.

ikri Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 If this sale does go through though, what are our prospects? I'm not sure if the Moat takeover will give us the finances to be promoted and stay up there in the first go. Though at this point it seems that anyone but ashley will do... Moat claimed to have backing from a US source who isn't willing to deal with Ashley at all & won't surface until the takeover is complete. With decent backing we should have the funds to buy some new players in January to push for promotion & then again to build the squad up when we get promoted. Could be bollocks though. If it is just Moat on his own then it'll be difficult, he certainly doesn't have a lot of cash of his own so the purchase of the club would be funded by loans which would need repaying which could leave us in a hole, needing to sell more players to cover costs & with no additional funds for new players.
