Dave Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 This tour seems pretty compehensive if it's just at the bidding stage. Meeting the players ffs? Watching the players, Davidov. The Malaysians were spotted by players who had just finished training. And as they ventured around the training ground they also met Toon striker Oba Martins, who was undergoing treatment. The No 9 later informed his team-mates after training that the group were here to buy the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, was it not more of a case of they were being shown the facilities and the players happened to be there? Hey, you asked me to be more positive! I'm still very positive about this, honestly. I do think that if they wanted "the works" in terms of a tour, then they'd probably find it difficult to avoid all of the players. If they really have done the due diligence, made the bid and liked what they saw on the tour then surely signing that sales and purcahse agreement can't be too far down the line?

Yeah, being serious for a moment you'd think they'd only be impressed by a tour around the facilities. They're the only thing we've got that are truly top class and need little or no work.

Aye let's be honest, IF we can shift a few of the big earners on, get a couple of promising younger players in, and IF we can get back up at the first attempt, then the price would be a bargain.

madras Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 well skunkers were saying the same. but why give a consortium a tour if another deal is a good as done? "and this is what you could have won" in a bullseye stylee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattypnufc Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 For those who can't be arsed to click. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2009/07/03/malaysians-in-80m-bid-for-newcastle-united-72703-24066213/ Malaysians in £80m bid for Newcastle United Jul 3 2009 by Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle A MYSTERY Malaysian consortium is understood to have stolen a march in the race to become new owners of crisis club Newcastle United. The Chronicle understands that a bid in excess of £80m has been made by the group, who were given a full tour of St James’s Park, the city and the training ground yesterday by managing director Derek Llambias. Mike Ashley was not present. In a dramatic turn of events the group, who even dropped in to Shearer’s Bar, made their way from the city to the training complex and then from Whitley Road to Benton Road to check out the club’s Academy. The focus then moved on to the west end of London, where talks continued with Llambias and Seymour Pierce, the investment bank put in charge of the United sale. A United insider told the Chronicle: “The group were given the full works around the stadium and at the training ground. “They watched the players train and this proved a bit of distraction for a lot of them who are wondering what the heck is going on at Newcastle.” Yet while takeover talks continue, it remains to be seen whether the Malaysians will want to hand the manager’s job to Alan Shearer. It leaves other interested parties such as former chairman Freddy Shepherd, currently in Portugal on a golfing break, waiting to discover if their efforts to take control have been enough. And it could spark off a frantic bidding war as the chase for United hots up. United managing director Llambias has no choice but to remain tight-lipped about the identity of the group from south east Asia and the Malaysian group must also keep their counsel until the deal is completed, with neither party prepared to fall foul of the non-disclosure agreements they signed a fortnight ago. That leaves United supporters with another agonising wait to see who could take charge of their club. But it is believed that despite interest from a clutch of interested buyers, it is the Malaysians who are closest to signing a sales and purchase agreement, which is the legal contract that obligates a buyer to buy and a seller to sell. The Malaysians have also completed the process of due diligence and are understood to be prepared to tackle the club’s £35m overdraft and take on other commitments such as transfer instalments on players such as Obafemi Martins and Damien Duff, with Chelsea still owed £2m for the Irishman over the next two seasons. There is also the matter of a potential compensation package for Kevin Keegan which could result in a £9m pay-out to the former Toon, England and Manchester City boss. While Shepherd is still keen on a family bid to return to St James’s, there has been other interest from an American group, but neither have pushed as far ahead in the queue as the Malaysians. Indeed it also emerged today that a Central European billionaire, renowned for his background in the online gaming industry, had also gone through the process of due diligence but has yet to be able to prepare a bid. The drama began to unfold surrounding the Malaysian consortium yesterday afternoon after lunch when a six-strong party arrived in Newcastle at the city’s heliport. They were then whisked around St James’s by Llambias, who offered them the full tour of the stadium and club offices. The tour quickly moved on to the training ground where they were shown the facilities on offer at the club’s Benton HQ. The Malaysians were spotted by players who had just finished training. And as they ventured around the training ground they also met Toon striker Oba Martins, who was undergoing treatment. The No 9 later informed his team-mates after training that the group were here to buy the club. Then passers-by on the nearby housing estate observed that the group were shown around the club’s Academy. The group do not appear to have any links with the Profitable Group, who expressed an interest last month, but the same source who tipped off the Chronicle on June 11 was unavailable for comment. Meanwhile it is thought that a group of Americans checked out the club’s training ground on Monday accompanied by United financial controller John Irving, but Llambias was not present.

Mr Logic Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I'm told by my Singaporean girlfriend not to trust Malaysians. We'll see. Yup, dodgy fuckers, all 28m of them. Well, there might be one or two that's alright. Then I suppose if there's one or two there might be a few more. In fact, come to think of it maybe you can't really say a whole countries population are all just the same as one another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
