jdckelly Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 well heres whats not true the notws latest offerings MIKE ASHLEY was attacked by furious Newcastle fans during the club's defeat to Scunthorpe on Wednesday. The hugely unpopular Toon chief had to be rescued by stewards as he faced the wrath of supporters furious at the demise of their club. That could prove to be the final straw for Ashley, with Tyneside businessman Barry Moat tabling an £80million package on Friday to take complete control. Sport of the World has learned that Moat was given the green light by his financiers in midweek to table an offer that could end the Sports Direct boss's traumatic 28 months in charge at St James' Park. Moat has put down a bid of £60m and has put together the finance to appease Barclays Bank with Newcastle's overdraft at bursting point. That will see him immediately injecting a further £20m to solve the club's financial wreckage. And Newcastle fans will be further stunned to learn that hate figure Dennis Wise, who left in April, is STILL on the club's payroll and receiving a salary of £20,000 a week. In total, Newcastle are forking out £3.3m a month in wages and national insurance, and they have no sponsorship money to turn to. Former chairman Freddy Shepherd spent the Adidas and Northern Rock backing on signing Michael Owen in the summer of 2005, before Ashley even arrived. Moat was promised a decision by Ashley on Friday, only to be told the unpredictable Newcastle owner wanted a further two days. He has promised Moat and key brokers Seymour Pierce that there will be a final decision today. Ashley and managing director Derek Llambias have held off the sale in the belief that a better offer from a consortium would emerge. But the controversial pair have been repeatedly warned that Moat's bid is the only viable one on the table, one that will mean Ashley takes a hit of around £190m if he accepts. A senior source admitted: "It is time for Mike to realise this is his way out. Stewards saved him at Scunthorpe in midweek. They had to fight off supporters from getting at him." Toon fans were enraged by Ashley's fresh claim last week that he puts more money into the club than the supporters, and because of that he can do what he likes. He was met by those fans in the stands at Glanford Park during Newcastle's humbling loss to Scunthorpe. And he further ignited the situation by claiming Kevin Keegan and Alan Shearer were asking for a small fortune to manage the side, before being rescued by Scunthorpe officials. Ashley appears almost immune to the abuse and his low standing with Newcastle fans. He again faced angry chants imploring him to sell the club throughout yesterday's home game with Doncaster as he sat in the directors' box. Wise was handed a two-year contract worth £1m a year when he was appointed in February last year, without Keegan's knowledge. But when Shearer took over as temporary manager back in April, he told Ashley and Llambias that he would not work with the club's executive director of football. Ashley agreed to pay Wise's salary in full until it runs out next March, meaning Wise, whose appointment led to Keegan's departure, has picked up a staggering £560,000 since he left his post. Our source added: "He is picking up his contract as if he was still working at Newcastle." Wise will continue to collect the rest of his £80,000-a-month salary until March unless Moat decides to give him an outright pay-off. He is expected to return to football at Charlton with another controversial former Newcastle employee, Tony Jimenez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Geordiekev Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Well any of you lads that trevelled to Scunny take part in this so called attack whereby stewards managed to rescue Ashley, I'm more than sure that if the supporters went at him together then it would take alot more than a hand full of stewards to stop them. Ohh and surely all the papers would have ran with it, if a geordie farts then they catch the smell.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 The 'attack' by fans at Scunthorpe has to be bullshit, because this is the first mention of it anywhere. Nothing to do with a mate of yours writing for the NotW then Mike? Wanker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrovianmag Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Surely if he had been attacked then it would have hit the news headlines , not some story in the news of the screws. Yet more bullshit from Ashley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 you lot do realise that when they say 'attack' what they'll probably mean is 'shouted at and verbally abused'. in which case it's probably true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Alan-Shearer-I-dream-of-Newcastle-return-article199639.html People keep asking me what’s going on, but I certainly don’t know – and I don’t think anyone outside the club does. I haven’t got a clue – honestly, I haven’t – and it’s so frustrating. I’m like all Newcastle fans, I would like it sorted. But there’s only one man who can do that. Unfortunately I’m not sure that anyone knows the ins and outs of it, whether the club is going to be sold or whether he’s going to keep hold of it. People have said bids have gone in, but no one really knows the truth. I don’t read about it any more. I’ve seen enough deadlines come and pass so I don’t read any of it. It’s still a very difficult and precarious situation at Newcastle and it pains me to see that. They are talking about giving Chris Hughton the job permanently and with the way things are I’d probably back that because it’s difficult circumstances. You read Mike Ashley say he and not the manager will control players coming in and out. So effectively, Chris is a coach, and not a manager, even if he takes the job. It’s not ideal. I would still like to be the manager of Newcastle again one day. If the situation came around and everything was right and in place then without a doubt I would love to give it another go. But that’s not up to me. It’s not just a job at Newcastle, though, because if the right post came along somewhere else I would definitely look at it too. But obviously I went in at Newcastle and I really, really enjoyed it. I hoped I was going to be in there for the long term. I would love to go back, but let’s make this clear: I’m not connected to any bids. And nobody has said to me, ‘If I get in and I buy the football club I want you to be the manager’. It’s true I am a friend of Barry Moat, but at this moment and for the last however many months or years he’s not reached an agreement. So what’s the point in talking about it? That’s the way I see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howaythelads Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 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. It's the same debate, ffs. Why do you think I'm saying I don't think he really wants to sell? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Mike Ashley to stay in charge at Newcastle MIKE ASHLEY looks resigned to staying in charge at Newcastle – despite would-be buyer Barry Moat remaining bullish about his prospects of clinching a deal for the club. Newcastle have broken off talks with an American-based consortium fronted by Lancashire businessman Geoff Sheard, leaving Moat and another, unnamed American group as the only remaining takeover contenders. Although he and Moat held informal talks at St James’s Park yesterday, Ashley’s demand to receive his asking price for United in one lump sum has still not been met. And, although he will not officially take Newcastle off the market while an American-based group maintains some interest in a takeover, Ashley will now look to confirm Chris Hughton’s appointment as permanent manager. The Sunday Sun understands Moat offered Ashley less than £40m up front, with the remaining money in guaranteed instalments, for United. Hughton, meanwhile, is hopeful of agreeing a one-year contract worth £300,000 – with the option of another 12 months – to cover the value of his current £150,000-a-year coaching deal, which runs until the summer of 2011. And the caretaker boss insists he is unconcerned that the club’s unresolved ownership saga may undermine his long-term credibility as manager as he aims to pull off his “proudest achievement” in football. “The impression I am under is that the club is still available for sale . . . as far as I am aware the situation hasn’t changed,” Hughton told the Sunday Sun. “But the important thing is to be given the opportunity to take this group of lads back into the Premier League. That’s what drives me on. Winning promotion would be my proudest achievement. “I don’t want to speak about the actual contract. I already had a contract which runs until the end of next season. “The key thing for me is that they want me here and I want to be here. It is a very nice feeling.” And Hughton is convinced he has the mettle to succeed in full-time charge, adding: “Man management, I don’t think, will be a problem. “I have learned a fair bit about that side of the game during my spells as temporary manager and my years in the game have also helped. “And, as a coach and a player, I have worked under some very good managers and I like to think I have learned something from all of them. “But I think above all you have to be yourself. If you try to be someone else then people will see through that one.” http://www.sundaysun.co.uk/sport/newcastle-utd/2009/10/25/mike-ashley-to-stay-in-charge-at-newcastle-79310-25007188/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
