SteveMc Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 In case it hasnt been posted already. Interview with Lliararse and Roberts about their bid. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/8213087.stm just listened to that for the first time and the most annoying thing is the pair of imbecilic interviewers cutting him off all the time. If they let the goon speak he would have spilled much more beanage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antz1uk Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Btw As a matter of fact, Monday will probably come and go without any announcement. FYP whats FYP alexander? simples Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouldy_uk Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 If true, I reckon this is it. - Ashley takes the club off the market and speaks of his intent to return to running the club and getting them back into the Premier League. - Says that he was concerned that Moat didn't have enough funds and couldn't secure the backing, being the caring man that he is, didn't want to leave the clubs in the hands of a man who might not be able to support it financially. - He will hire Chris Hughton as manager - One week of the transfer deadline left, ready to work hard to bring in a number of targets. Working with Hughton and Calderwood to put a list together. - One s**** player will come in midweek - Last day of the transfer window, Ashley and Llambias will be in training ground all day. David Craig will be invited in and will stand outside reporting bollocks all day. - Nobody will sign and Ashley will express his disappointment but how strong he feels the squad already is. - In the summer, he will put the club back up for sale and again fail to find a buyer that meets his valuation You could write a f***ing book about this I'm afraid that sounds scarily accurate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Did Craig actually say that he expects the announcement to be that Ashley will take the club of the market? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 The announcement will obviously be that the club is off the market, if the club has already been sold why wait until monday to say owt? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzle Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 If the club is taken off the market it will be interesting to see who is appointed manager, despite the doom mongering I can't see it being Hughton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I've done this before but: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/newcastle/article5406711.ece "I am happy to end the uncertainty the fans may have had about the future direction of Newcastle United. "I know just how important that is to you. "I have withdrawn Newcastle United from the market, and for me 2009 er, 2009 will be the year in which we drive the club forward together. "Even when I haven't been at games I have remained a keen supporter, kicking and heading every ball and cheering the team on TV and being first to congratulate [manager] er, manager Joe [Kinnear] Chris [Hughton] whenever there's a good result." Ashley revealed the club had failed to find a suitable buyer. He added: "When I took the decision to put the club up for sale in September May I made a point of saying two things were very important. "Firstly any potential buyer would have to show they had the best interests of Newcastle United at heart and had both the commitment and finance to be worthy custodians of such a fine football club before I would even consider doing a deal. "And secondly, I gave you my word that as long as I remain owner, this club would continue to be run responsibly at all levels. I hope you will accept that I have stood by that pledge. Well, apart from being relegated." Piece of piss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 If the club is taken off the market, and then someone bids for the club, it's not as if Ashley is going to turn around and say "no". Think all it'll mean is Monday is the point where he'll start acting as owner again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 If the club is taken off the market it will be interesting to see who is appointed manager, despite the doom mongering I can't see it being Hughton. 7 points out of a possible 9, the lads seem to like him (see: Nolan and Ameobi interviews after Reading), 'great squad', 'good atmosphere in at training ground', plus he has the one thing that works brilliantly in his favour, he's cheap. Can't see it being anyone else tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess because when he was actively seeking to sell the club, he couldn't make decisions that prospective buyers would oppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llambias starting to talk in public for the first time, to re-establish communication lines Its all fitting into place and it stinks Ready to try and win us back on board, I hope not and desperatley hope they fook right out of our club..

chrisfarrar Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 sounds to me that they are trying to up the pressure on Barry Moat, the word "expected", to me implies they think he's not gonna come up with the cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
