AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I dunno, I don't think you can really buy a football club as a proper business investment, surely making a profit is almost impossible? Mebbe it's me being simple, but isn't it quite feasible to buy us at this knockdown price, get us promoted this season and get us sustained in the Premier League and watch our value go up? I guess so, if you could be certain of quick promotion and then a sale at in inflated price. I just think there are easier investments, and more profitable ones. Anyway, I don't object to an owner making money, as long as that is from making us successful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in a Mike Ashley time warp. I suspect he has nowt but shit or below his 100 million asing price and is holding out until the very last. Which in turn would pretty cripple the club in the near future for anyone who does buy it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocker Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Fingers crossed, but I don't understand how they can speak to the media so often with that clause Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianovthetoon Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Fingers crossed, but I don't understand how they can speak to the media so often with that clause I think the clause only really stops them from divulging confidential financial information regarding the club. I would think any prospective buyers can shout as loud as they want as long as they don't say anything about what is in the club's books. They have said they'd made a bid, but have still fallen short of saying how much that bid is for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stozo Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Fingers crossed, but I don't understand how they can speak to the media so often with that clause As explained before a non-disclosure agreement simply means they can't go about talking about the club's finances that they have seen during due dilligence.

BlueStar Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Same quotes from McMahon, but including some bits the Chron cut out - unless he gave two similar interviews, some of the sentences are reworded as well.

James Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I want to know how Keith Harris is being paid. From what I understand, Harris is the middleman who gets to veto inappropriate bids. If Harris is getting commission, what would be his incentive to approve a lower bid if he reckons he can negotiate a more lucrative deal in six months?

Optimistic Nut Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thought this was an interesting comment. "He's lost a lot of money on it, but he was there when Newcastle needed him. OK, it hasn't worked out for him as a business, but we don't intend to steal it off him, that's for sure.'' Maybe whilst doing due-diligence themselves they've realised just how f*cked we were financially even before he came in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pedro_de_geordieo Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Problem is, I can see Ashley looking at our pre-season results so far and knocking back the bids thinking it'll be easy to get us back up where he can sell up for much more. Yes, I think he's that stupid and indignant. Funny you shopuld say this as i've been thinking the same thing........ I'm sure the fat man's advisers will have given him all the possible out comes and given that he thinks season tickets are selling he may do the unthinkable I can't belive he got to where he has in life........... Amazing!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiGeordie Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I think Harris broker good deal for Aston Villa and Man City in the past. Last fall because of the economic crunch our chances collapsed. I also belive the asking price of 100 mil is too high. Ashley got this club two years ego with all the potential and Premier league football for 134 mil. Now with all his stinkey job we relgated and the club is in lots of trouble. with wages and all other burdons for him to excpect only 34 mil loss on us is very unrealistic. If the club have some sort of trust with the help of the city this guy should be sued for all his action. Not only he killed us in the past two years he is deeping our grave now by not putting realistic price on the club and not to put a manger in.

I thought one of the virtues of capitalism was that there were no rewards for failure or incompetence. Ashley is either an exception which proves the rule or something that demonstrates that's a load of bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He paid nearly 250m in total for the club. 134m for the club and over 100m to repay debts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
