BottledDog Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 not what Joe Kinnear said as I remember. Over £10m would surely have got him? Sorry, was being a bit flippant, I don't have a clue. Kinnear said we had put in an intial bid of £5m and was considering doubling it. Who knows what happened next tbh. That's the point, people are arguing over things that we have no way of verifying and for the most part is just hearsay. Look how the 'qoutes', that nobody knew the identities of the bidders other than Keith Harris or that whoever met the £100m asking price in would get the club, have been picked over in this thread. As NUFC.com have pointed out, they are all from unamed sources and ultimately mean nothing. All we know officially at this point is that suitable bids have been lodged. Good. I hope that means we get another official quote that we have actully been sold pretty goddamn soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cf_newc Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Don't know how siginficant it is but the same helicopter Llambias and the Malaysians were in last week was over the training ground and academy about 45 minutes ago briefly before heading off in the direction off SJP. It didn't land, just seemed to be hovering to give the passengers a view of the area/facilities. Hopefully some movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Pretty strange that there are so few players that has left us, you would think MA wanted to collect some cash before he leaves. Once again, that cash goes into the club's balance, not Ashley's pocket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beezeri Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I've voted for the Malaysians, since it's becoming increasingly likely it's Krishnan and he sounds like such a lovely bloke. Well...so did Ashley sound like a lovely bloke AT FIRST Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 http://timesonline.typepad.com/thegame/2009/07/newcastle-need-the-right-buyer-not-a-quick-sale.html George Caulkin It needs to end and it needs to end soon; each day that elapses with Newcastle United still unsold, still without a manager, with nobody in place to take footballing decisions, with new players not bought and the old ones fuming and festering, an opportunity is lost. The smell of decay is pervasive and yet, and yet ... In the long-term, some good may come of this, utterly counter-intuitive though it may feel at present. Here’s why. Each day that elapses, another question is posed, questions that Mike Ashley could not bring himself to ask when he bought the club without undertaking due diligence in 2007. Arguably, Newcastle is still creaking from that failing, one that obliged Ashley to immediately repay the loan taken out for regenerating St James’ Park. The next lot - whoever they may be - have not made the same mistake. Each day that elapses, Newcastle’s books are pored over - with "the finest of fine tooth combs," it has been put to me. Does that automatically mean that Ashley's successor or successors will be an improvement (it stretches credibility to imagine how they could possibly be worse)? No, of course not. What it means is that, unlike the sportswear retailer, they will be better prepared. (An example. When does Newcastle’s overdraft, reported to be in the region of £34m, become a debt? Towards the end of last week, it became an issue in discussions, with Seymour Pierce, the investment bank handling the sale, recommending that Ashley accepts outstanding bids for Obafemi Martins and Fabrizio Coloccini. Football can never be an exact science, but precautions are being taken). Each day that elapses, Keith Harries, executive chairman of Seymour Pierce, inches forward a process he has conducted with decorum and discretion. That process is not assisted when figures involved either make themselves known or speak publicly about fees, as Derek Llambias, Newcastle’s managing director, did on Monday. There are multiple bidders to court, satisfy, answer and appease. In a complicated situation such as this - millions of pounds at stake and bidders from abroad - haste would both be impossible and foolhardy. Each day that elapses, frustrations mount, season tickets remain unsold and fresh dangers present themselves, but Tyneside has witnessed one macho attempt at business gunslinging and it was pathetic. Speed is necessary, but right is ultimately the most important thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he really suggesting this has dragged on for weeks and weeks simply because they're 'combing through the books'? The papers know nowt, and anything Llambias and Harris say has to be taken with a pinch of salt because right now it's salesman talk. He was stating two important points though which are probably his own opinion but, in mine, very valid. 1) That whoever buys the club must understand what they are getting themselves into and be fully prepared for what needs to be done. 2) Llambias has behaved like a prick all the way through this saga giving soundbites to the press that do nothing to hlep the situation, in fact have the exact opposite effect!!
