TRon Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Actually reading some of the "comments" from this "Mr Serious" (bringing in his mate in Iran to train the squad for example) has me despairing......... I repeat - this cannot be Sirous. I don't know why people find it so difficult to engage their brain before making such assumptions. Does anyone seriously think someone will invest £100m in a football club then turn it into a training academy for a country thousands of miles away? Did you seriously think some London businessman would pay hundreds of millions and pay off debts only to destroy the club and get it relegated ? Why not try engaging YOUR brain - it's fun. Try it. With respect, whatever we think of Ashley I don't believe for a minute that his intention when he bought the club was to destroy NUFC and get us relegated. That has been a consequence of his poor management and bad decisions. Yes that's a reasoned view, but not everyone wants to see the situation in context, for some it's more important to push their point relevant or not...as we'll probably see in subsequent replies. Tbh his supposed quote 'doing this for Iranian football' can be interpreted a number of ways, no one knows what his plans are except it will involve Iranian personnel in some form. Using some common sense I would imagine anyone buying the club will want it to be successful and the key personnel will probably reflect that.

Guest Alan Shearer 9 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 If this is a wind up it's in very bad taste to continue it with SBR's death. How low will people sink to deride newcastle fans, it beggars belief. If it is true then it'd be good to let the fans know now so we can look forward to a brighter future without MA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Are we any further forward on whether or not this guy actually exists? No, the media will probably never mention it again. A couple of phone calls and they could get some sort of confirmation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONTEMPI Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 MA said Sir Bobs seats will be his for as long as he is owner. Seems a strange thing to say if a deal is close Well i'd love to see a bronze of bobby in that seat forever more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone would sink that low mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phil K Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 rumour I've heard is that there is only one bidder and thats Shephed at £65million Now I wonder who started that rumour... Maybe due to Ashley's smoke and mirrors on other bids showing no end product and we're almost at the start of the season rather than Shepherd as you claim.
