J7 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 If SP have made their recommendations, at least we know all the bids are in and ready, so its just down to Ashley to accept one. Hopefully, HOPEFULLY, it won't be too long now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I've given up all hope tbh, I am just assuming Hughton will be in charge and ashley will remain, then when we lose a few matches Kinnear will come back for 3 matches, have a heart attack and they'll try and get Shearer back who will tell them to piss of and become manager of southampton and well end up with Dave Bassett You saw it here first.

Minhosa Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Theres no way this will be leaked imo - it's just not the way Ashley and Co have done business. It'll just be announced one day via the BBC or something. FWIW this Singapore Profitable Group look like a complete bunch of chancers. The thought of them running the club sends almost as big a shiver down my spine as having Frederick and the Shepherd clan back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Newcastle job for Gianluca Vialli pasta joke By Derek McgGovern 10/07/2009 England have an Italian boss, so too Chelsea - now Newcastle could follow the trend by appointing Gianluca Vialli. The Italian has been backed down to 4-1 second-favourite to take the reins at St James' Park and you have to admit he looks the Magpies' ideal manager. Vialli has been out of top-class football for not far short of a decade - just like Newcastle. His last task was to take Watford to the heady heights of 14th in the Championship - the dream scenario this season for Newcastle. Something needs to be done to win back support on Tyneside because a local newspaper survey has just revealed that: 48 per cent are considering not going to matches next season; 51 per cent are considering only attending on a gameby-game basis; 95 per cent want Mike Ashley to leave before they return. And it's believed the fans are just as unhappy as the players. Toon look certain to be bought soon by Far East businessmen who seem to be getting more ambitious - in the past they've been happy merely to buy players. They are 11-8 with Sky Bet to bounce straight back up to the Premier League. And 7-2 to finish in the bottom half - a decent bet if Vialli gets the gig and an even better one if Alan Shearer gets it. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/2009/07/10/newcastle-job-for-gianluca-vialli-pasta-joke-115875-21508533/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeloEmre Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 THE PROFITABLE Group have become the first would-be buyers to openly admit they have made a bid for Newcastle United. And the Singapore-based investment company say they expect to discover this weekend whether their offer, which they made last week and claim would be "great for Newcastle", has been accepted. Former England star Steve McMahon, the commercial director of the Profitable Group, is the man who has broken the silence surrounding the Toon takeover saga. Despite all bidders for United having supposedly signed non- disclosure agreements, McMahon today went on the record with the Profitable Group’s approach. "We’ve had a bid, it’s under serious consideration," McMahon told Singapore-based newspaper, the Straits Times. "It’s a strategic move and it’ll be great for the group and for Newcastle." It is not known whether the Profitable Group’s bid is one of the two offers said to have matched Mike Ashley’s £100m valuation of the Magpies. But McMahon is clearly confident of success, adding: "The value (of buying the club) is awareness. "We can turn what is a disaster at the moment into a success. "By the end of the week, we'll know if we’re successful or not." The Chronicle were the first to reveal the Profitable’s interest in United way back on June 9. And the good news for Alan Shearer, whose future remains up in the air almost seven weeks on from the end of last season, is that McMahon and Co want him as manager at St James’s Park. Newcastle are the subject of rival Far East interest in the shape an as-yet unidentified Malaysian consortium, whose tour of the club’s facilities last week is thought to have prompted the Profitable Group’s bid, while former chairman Freddy Shepherd has also made an offer. And an American group – also still anonymous – were also shown round United’s facilities last week and may yet enter the bidding. Despite McMahon’s comments, the ownership issue looks set to drag on into next week, with Seymour Pierce, the investment bank tasked with brokering a deal, yet to recommend a preferred bidder to Ashley. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2009/07/10/profitable-group-still-in-for-toon-as-talks-continue-72703-24122468/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hughton has been pissed about. Since he came here he has done the following: - Assistant to Keegan - Caretaker manager as well as a coach after Keegan left - Coach/assistant under Kinnear, doing basically all the training sessions - Caretaker manager as well as a coach again when Kinnear got ill - Coach under Shearer - Caretaker manager as well as a coach for a third time as the club sale drags on From a man who was brought in just to help Keegan out, I reckon he's done... not a 'good' job, but well for the club in that he's gotten on with things with all the shit around him and tried his best to help out as much as he can, and not gone mouthing off to the media. He's put the club before himself imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
