EthiGeordie Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 If things work out as planned and if this guy bought us it is great cause we are lucky. Clubs like Leeds, Sothapmton and Charlton don't have decent owner let alone a billioner. This guy he is not only a billioneir he is also respected figure head and he think for the future. I am sure he will be a decent owner. Go TAK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 It's only said that he's been linked with buying us, and judging how the United and the next word and does not have a space between them, it seems that it's not from a reliable source in anyway, as is the case with wikipedia.

I don't know to be honest. Hard to follow with all the bollocks that's written, but from what I've gathered, it's been mostly about FS and Malaysians in the papers. It's "more than two" bids as well, btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slugsy Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 As mentioned before, I don't believe a word that comes out of llambias' gob and none of these so called interested parties have been confirmed or denied. However, if it was a straight fight between an other and Shepherd, unless Shepherd's bid was much bigger, I'm sure Ashley would look to choose the other bid, god, could you imagine at completion, sitting across from the smuggest Shepherd ever, knowing he has just nicked an asset you paid him millions for, back for a song!

Tachikoma Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Do u have any link to that about the president of Malaysia talking about it? http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/7/6/nation/4261941&sec=nation Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek.. ... The minister also commented on business tycoon Ananda Krishnan’s reported bid for English football club Newcastle United. He called it a “business decision” and hailed the move. “We should be proud if it really happens that a Malaysian is involved in such a huge transaction. “It’s not impossible, and I hope it goes through. I hope it can have a big impact on the development of Malaysian football,” he said. The president. We didn't have a president the last time I checked <_< I would take whatever the sports minister says with a grain of salt, and a large grain at that. Chances are he knows just as much as we do ie fuck all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 How come they saw Llambias showing them around but yet didn't take a picture. They could easily work out who it was. If they can tell they are Malaysian surely they can take a photo. "Holy shit I forgot my camera, again" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
