madras Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Can't be arsed mate. If you can't see the funny side of Mike Ashley claiming - after all that's gone on over the last year - that he's going to have final say on the players we buy and sell then you're just being contrary for the sake of it. nope i just think in most cases managers don't have the final say (think ronaldo) just they have 'within reason' and i'm still not sure where that was regards nufc under keegan. if you know different tell me.

Dave Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 If Newcastle can win promotion back to the Premier League, Ashley believes the club could be worth at least £150m. So almost doubling what he is trying (and failing) to sell it for now. Is that realistic? The squad will still need a fuckload of investment to avoid relegation.

No doubt he will expect promotion with no money spent on transfers, a couple more players flogged off and an interim coach out of his depth given the manager's job. even if we did go up, this sounds like he will try to sell us again at the first opportunity, wrecking our chances of staying up. we really need the dickhead to fuck off sharpish.

Optimistic Nut Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 If nobody is prepared to pay £80m, then it's clear that no-one is going to buy us. Ball is in Moat's court now. If he doesn't buy us now, he can f*** off and stop wasting our time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 oh no, not again. those quotes are very unprofessional, but that sums the man up. really dunno how to feel about this, but pessimism has had a 100% success rate lately, so i'll stick with that.

It's about as far from reality as the prick is himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 People complain about silence from the club. Then when he makes his position clear, they still complain. If someone can't stump up £80 million, then it's very questionable whether they're in the right position to take over the club. It also feels right that the uncertainty is brought to an end sometime soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 If Ashley cant sell it, then we are absolutely fucked tbh. Next summer will drag out as he tries to sell it again, then what? Another relegation. We will be lucky to see 20 points next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also feels right that the uncertainty is brought to an end sometime soon. Why is Ashley bothered whether anyone is the right person to take over the club? If he's going to hold out for the right price before he sells then he better not bank on us being definite promotion candidates this season from what I've seen over the last few games. If we slip out of the top two positions things could get very ugly for Ashley imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Moat was involved two years ago with a previous attempt to buy Newcastle United in partnership with Jon Asgeir Johannesson, the former boss of the Icelandic investment company Baugur, which went bust. I see Baz keeps some great company. Who are his backers now? LlyodsTSB? RBS? AIG? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally it would be nice to hear from Marry Boat or someone from his team leak how he wants to run Newcastle United to the media. If he needs details on how to leak stuff he should get advice from club insider/Llambliar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mantis Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Appointing Hughton will just put the ribbon on Fat Mikes gift of disaster. Devoid of tactics, living off the fact we have won games mainly due to the lack of any credible opposition. As for signings, Ashley is probably flicking through YouTube now, looking for his next star loan signing. Why doesn't he just ring the two South American agents he did a favour for last year and recall the favour. Every time you think this saga has reached the depths, it goes lower.

Wallace Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Well I thought the club had already "confirmed" that they had received bids of £100m and then that they had received a bid just short of 100m and then that they had a agreement with Moat but the overdraft had to be sorted with the bank and that was the hold-up. Now he wants £80m! Just more confusing statements from Ashley to muddy the waters. Who knows what to believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
