socaljawd Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 There will be a statement tomorrow. Its a bank holiday in USA today. Its Columbus day here in the US on Oct 12. But that means nowt. Wall St was still trading and the banks were open today - I walked in a deposited a cheque. I'm calling it like it is.. BS.. It was a bank holiday. Some banks just stayed open for their customers, but the federal reserve which is the back bone of the banking system was closed along with the government. Nothing official could be completed today. Its a federal holiday. Federal govt closed, bond markets were closed but the banking system continued. On Wall St the DJ 100 industrials closed near to 10,000 (see http://money.cnn.com/2009/10/12/markets/markets_newyork/index.htm?postversion=2009101218). Out in the street, people filled their cars with gas, stores sold goods and there was generally nothing much different from a regular Monday. Given all those financial transactions the fed has to settle these and there's no "don't settle" on a federal holiday rule in the ACH book I've studied. Regardless of the state of the US federal govt, why would a US federal holiday stop a charitable organization or hedge fund or whatever SS has up his sleeve from announcing anything about a venture in the UK? THe statement about a bank holiday is convenient, but it doesn't pass a reasonableness test. Pure hogwash! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 from the chronicle THE North West-based businessman spearheading a transatlantic bid for Newcastle United has claimed their group finally expect an answer this week from Mike Ashley. The Chronicle revealed Geoff Sheard was fronting the bid for American company the Star Foundation on August 25. Since then, they insist they have remained in the running, although United managing director Derek Llambias has played down their chances. Sheard now claims that the matter is in the hands of UK legal giants Halliwells, representing the Americans, and Ashley’s lawyers Travers Smith. Sheard told the Chronicle today: “We will push it forward this week and it will be resolved. It’s all done as far as we are concerned. “It’s all down to the solicitors now. There has been no contact with ourselves or Derek Llambias or Mike Ashley, just between legal teams. “We are not aware of any other significant interest from elsewhere.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest johnson293 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 So, assuming Ashley doesn't sell us (which is f***ing nailed on, tbh): what's his plan? Probably small - minimal investment in January, hopefully we'll still be doing ok, and heading fro promotion - and if we do go up, expect the sale signs back up in May with a £150-200m price tag again!
