Liam Liam Liam O Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 about time this thread was wound up it's becoming Tedious, maybe restart when something actually happens which clearly it ain't going to. Something's going to happen before the end of the month though. which month? Not the one you think. [/sillius] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Times are qoting him saying 'i'll see him (moat) at the game tomorrow so no doubt well discuss it (the takeover)' or something along those lines http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/football_league/article6888536.ece? Sounds like an ideal place and time to finalise a big deal like this. Just reinforces the idea he's not interested in selling. As I said, the tw*t doesn't want to sell the club, if he did it would be sold by now. You just have to look at how many other clubs HAVE been sold. It's so transparent he's using this "I want to sell up" to give him an excuse not to appoint a real manager and to neglect investment in the team. He's deliberately running the club down. There should be riots at the match every week but I think he's beaten everyone into apathy while he's laughing all the way to the bank. One of the questions I often ask myself is why did the SJH sell his shares to this tw*t. I'd be surprised if he wasn't aware of the type of bloke Ashley is, word gets around at those levels of business. Has sadly become one of only two possible scenarios left, the other being that no one serious would touch Newcastle with a bargepole fearing they'd just be spending a lot to end up in the same situation. Either way it's the same net result and certainly not good for us. Perhaps the time has come for Shearer to truly show his "feelings" for the club and do a "Niall Quinn". i.e. legendary ex centre forward puts his personal interests aside and uses his knowledge and popularity to broker a takeover deal. It may take a knight in shining armour to end the current impasse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I can't see why this idea that Ashley has no intention of selling should persist. He publicly declared that he'd sell for £100m. If he wasn't serious, that leaves him wide open to exposure if someone then does bid £100 million and he still turns them down. So far, nobody has said that's happened. Potential buyers either haven't come up with the money, or when they've looked closely at the club's financial position, decided not to go ahead. The real debate is whether £100m is a fair price. If someone has money to invest in players to ensure promotion, it's a bargain. For the likes of Moat, who it seems can't invest any more than Ashley, it's too much of a risk.

Guest Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Did anyone see Nolan's comments in The Mirror? "We last saw Mike Ashley a few weeks ago. He comes around and has lunch with the lads, things like that. He is a decent fella. I can't start coming out defending people because everyone has their own opinions, but he has always been fine with me but you know, all we want him to do is back us in what we are doing, try to be professional and try and get us back where we belong as quickly as possible."

wyn davies Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 without going through the whole thread,what would a buyer end up with for a £100million?, remants of a first team squad minus loan players, no actual collaterall i.e. ground as council owns it, debts outstanding who knows what we really owe Ashley as to me it appears he wants his money back, a rebuild of the team should we get promoted, a further downsize should we not ,parachutes become paper in place of silk, Goodwill what goodwill, outstanding payments to previous managers and clubs for wages and club purchases. If he has paid over the top for the club then Tango Sierra, as if I buy something and the price has reduced following a purchase as these things do over Christmas then Tough Titty thats the way it is.He then must sell at best if he really wants to sell. In return, loyal following (muppets that we are)minimum 40K every game at home, kit deals and sponsorship and a chance to clear the decks and start again, would YOU by us or are worth less than £100million.

Is about the top and bottom of it BY. As I said no one "serious" seems interested and thats why it's been left to chancers and publicity seekers to fill the column inches. Is £100M a fair price ? Well I'd pay it if I had it . Not JUST because I love the club but because I still believe that properly run it could be worth far more than that.

JH Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I wouldn't have thought results ever had a bearing on the valuation. I'd have said only the players, promotion or relegation from the pitch side of things would effect the club's cost.
