Wallace Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Still cant get my head round why Moat would put a bid in for less than Geoff Sheards group. He must be aware the 100 mill has already being met. It makes no sense. Do you have a view why Moat would do this unless he has solid information that the GS bid is not realistic. What is the score with Barclays and the overdraft. Does the GS group need it, have they been passed by Barclays? Maybe trying to shave a bit off the price because of his preferred bidder status? The thing I keep coming back to on this is that if I were Ashley I just would not sell now. He won't get his money back if we are promoted but he'll get a lot more back than he would if he sells right now. Ashley seems thick skinned enough not to give a s*** about being branded a liar and being hated - so why sell? But what if we don't get promoted and they have to sell off more players - he would not get £100m then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the GS group need it, have they been passed by Barclays? It's not about the money for Mike though, he'll only sell to someone he's sure can give us what we want If I can't sell the club to someone who will give the fans what they want then I shall continue to ensure that Newcastle is run on a business and football model that is sustainable. I care too much about the club merely to abandon it. and of course what we want is: The fans want this process to happen more quickly and they want huge amounts spent in the transfer market so that the club can compete at the top table of European football now. I am not stupid and have listened to the fans. I hope that the fans get what they want and that the next owner is someone who can lavish the amount of money on the club that the fans want. he's only looking out for our best interests.

dustynrg Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Interesting snippet in the Journal: http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2009/10/06/barry-moat-submits-written-offer-to-mike-ashley-61634-24860020/ The Journal also understands he has been advised to sell the club by Llambias. Nice one Dekka. You can just imagine it, "Just sell the fakka Moike, them idiot Geordies aren't fallin for aar lies and tricks, just faak em and faak aff" Are we owned by South Africans?
