KaKa Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Maybe the new owners want to use the money from Colo and Martins to pay off Keegan? Probably don't want to be the ones to deal with the drama as they had nothing to do with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably don't want to be the ones to deal with the drama as they had nothing to do with it. Let me rephrase. Maybe Seymour pierce have suggested that Ashley sell those two and use the money to pay off Keegan. This way the new owners will have nothing to do with that mess, which I'm sure none of them want anything to do with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOD, WHY DID YOU LET THIS HAPPEN?! :mackems: :mackems: http://img377.imageshack.us/img377/3636/mml.jpg KUALA LUMPUR: A group of Malaysian businessmen is believed to have begun discussions over the purchase of English Championship side Newcastle United from its owner Mike Ashley. The Malaysian-led consortium, believed to include some of Malaysia’s well-known business leaders, is said to have tabled an £80 million (RM456 million) bid for the troubled club, which was relegated from the English Premier League last season. The consortium was shown around St James’ Park and the Magpies’ training ground in Benton on Thursday with a view to buying the club. Britain’s Press Association (PA) reported that the potential buyers were given a guided tour of the club’s facilities by club managing director Derek Llambias before returning to London to continue discussions. The group could not be identified as all interested parties were required to sign non-disclosure agreements. Ashley is demanding STG100 million (RM576 million) for the club and has insisted he will sell to the first consortium to come up with the cash. PA said Ashley and the people closest to the ongoing negotiations were optimistic that significant progress could be made within 48 hours, and while there was still much ground to be covered, it appeared things were now moving more rapidly. A takeover would be effectively completed when the prospective buyer signs a sales purchase agreement, and they could then get on with the business of appointing a manager and starting to re-shape the playing squad. The Shield Gazzette newspaper quoted sources as saying that former England striker Alan Shearer is the favoured managerial candidate among most of those keen on buying United. If the deal is successful, it would mark the first time a group of Malaysians would have direct involvement in a prominent English team. Newcastle were put up for sale for the second time only days after the club's relegation from the Premier League on May 24. At least four consortia have entered into detailed discussions, with an American-based group among the most advanced, while former chairman Freddy Shepherd has also been heavily involved. http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Saturday/National/2599290/Article/index_html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 A bid has been made according to the Guardian, I don't read that paper, so don't know weather to take it with a pinch of salt, but it's pretty much no more then what we have said on here. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/jul/04/newcastle-mike-ashley-malaysian-consortium Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article6633397.ece July 4, 2009 Newcastle told to sell Martins and Coloccini George Caulkin Mike Ashley, the Newcastle United owner, has been urged to accept offers for Obafemi Martins, the forward, and Fabricio Coloccini, the defender, to smooth the sale of the club. Coloccini has been linked with Atlético Madrid, Zaragoza and Seville, and an injection of capital would reduce Newcastle’s overdraft at a critical time. The policy is being recommended by Seymour Pierce, the investment bank handling the sale. Alan Shearer, who hopes to be appointed Newcastle’s permanent manager, was not intending to rebuild his team around either player. Is this a worry or nothing? Nothing. Both are hopelessly shite yet their completely unfounded reputation means we could probably get some decent cash for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I only meant 'worry' in terms of getting the club sold. The article suggests it needs to happen, that's all. Don't really care if they both go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
