Subject: Re: Please buy my football club for GBP100m

 

Dear Mr Ashley,

 

We are emailing you to inquire about the possibility of buying

Newcastle United Football Club for GBP100m, as advertised on your

website. We have always fancied the idea of owning our own football

club and are currently in a position to invest in one, having

recently received winning notification from Mr Austin Connor, a claim

agent with the Ontario Lottery Corporation, that we have won exactly

that amount in their latest draw for the promotion of the 2010 Soccer

World Cup to be hosted in South Africa. We have been assured that the

GBP100m will be deposited in our bank account just as soon as we have

sent Mr Connor the GBP10,000 he needs to help facilitate the

processing of our claim.

 

Speaking of which, we were wondering if, as a gesture of goodwill

ahead of our imminent purchase of your football club, you might be

able to loan us this GBP10,000, as our own life savings are currently

tied up helping Dr (Mrs) Mariam Abacha (M.O.N), the wife of the late

head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the

federal republic of Nigeria, who recently emailed us out of the blue

to inquire if we might assist her in getting the $80m supposedly

misappropriated by her late husband out of Nigeria, packed in trunk

boxes in such a way to forestall anybody else having access to it.

Once we have received our own 40% share of this bounty, we will

obviously repay your GBP10,000 in full, with 15% on top for your

co-operation. All we need from you is an assurance that you can

handle the amount involved comfortably and that we can also trust you

with this very arrangement. Oh ... and a cheque for GBP10,000 made

out to us.

 

Obviously we can imagine that a businessman as shrewd as yourself

might be wondering why it is that somebody such as ourselves, who are

London-based, overweight, fond of a beer and with neither ties to the

north-east nor any discernible trace of business acumen would be

willing to pay such an enormous amount of money for a football club,

as it seems like the kind of foolhardy impulse-buy that only a

congenital idiot would undertake, particularly without checking the

books first. But you look trustworthy and have a nice face, not

unlike that of the idiot that one might encounter sitting on a stile

outside any English village.

 

We look forward to hearing from you by return mail,

 

All the best,

 

The Fiver.

 

PS While we are aware that you are looking for GBP100m for your club,

we were wondering if perhaps you'd be willing to consider selling it

for a knockdown price, as there are certain parts of it that we don't

actually want: the entire playing staff, those fat blokes whose job

it is to convene outside it and cheer raucously every time a new

consignment of stationery is delivered to the club office, Shearer's

bar, Shearer's tattoo parlour, Shearer's replica shirt shop, Shearer

Stottie cake shop and Shearer.

The investment group linked to a multi-million pound takeover of English club Newcastle United has refused to comment on reports of the bid which would turn the Championship (second division) side into a Barcelona-style trust.

 

"We are aware of the reports but we have no comment at the moment," John Gaunt, Chief Executive Officer, Profitable Group, told Reuters when contacted at his Singapore headquarters on Wednesday.

don't they normally rubush this sort of thing on .co.uk rather than through the paper?

 

Your assuming the useless fuckers at the club know how to work computers.

 

We will probably hear confirmation of the bid 3 months after it has fallen through, as per usual.

Sources close to Newcastle say there is no substance to the reported takeover bid for the club from Singapore-based investment company the Profitable Group.

:frantic: :frantic: :frantic: :frantic:

 

BOTH ARE UTTER SHITE, fkn press man they know nowt!

 

Alternatively, the £100m Profitable Group proposal for Newcastle is very much alive and they could install former Liverpool midfielder Steve McMahon - a commercial director with the group - as manager at St James' Park. (Daily Mirror)

That Mirror Article linked actually says...

 

If successful, ex-England international McMahon, 47, would be given control of the St James' Park boardroom - with his first task to appoint Alan Shearer as manager.

"This is news to us," a reliable source close to Ashley said. "No one from Singapore has spoken with anyone involved and there has been no contact. "Talks with three groups who want to remain anonymous for now are ongoing."

 

The source added: "They don't want to be known just yet. That is how we are trying to do business. That is the proper way to do it, not by talking through the media."

 

Promising?

Nothing in it as much as the rest of it all, I guess until its "official" word its all crap.

As one of the articles said I think the interested parties are trying to haggle the price, and I think it might still be possible that the Profitable Group are interested at a lower price.

 

It is clear now that the attempts to haggle the price was clearly what led to Ashley putting out that silly statement with the email address.

 

It looks like the Profitable group have countered that by stating their plans which every supporter of the club would clearly be very pleased with, in order to pressure Ashley into accepting their lower offer.

 

It's kinda how I see it anyway.

 

 

Sounds logical but speculative, naturally.  If that was the case, we don't need an owner that's haggling over £20m or whatever.

 

I've heard plenty of people argue this, but even if they can comfortably afford the £100m, they're still business people and if they reckon the club is only worth £80m, they're not gonna pay extra just to avoid the hassle of bargaining.

 

That's not how good business works. That's £20m extra that can be pumped into first team investment.

 

A sale really does hinge on whether Ashley is going to be stubborn and stick to his quoted price at all costs like he foolishly did last time the club was up for sale, or whether he is prepared to negotiate a deal. I find it hard to believe that he would be prepared to stay now with the process having destroyed pre-season preparations, but with this blundering cry baby you can't rule anything out.

I'm told today's Chron will give us a better idea of what's going on.

 

Can't wait to see what speculation they come up with today, because no one that matters at the club is going tell them. Isn't there a quote somewhere saying that business shouldn't be done through the media?

Llambias played down talk of contact between the group and the club. While confirming “three or four” consortia are engaged in discussions to take over on Tyneside, Llambias said Profitable were not one of them.

 

“We know who this Profitable group are because we had some dealings with them last summer regarding some business in the Far East,” he said.

 

“But we have had absolutely no contact with them since then.

 

“There hasn't been a bid and there hasn't been an enquiry. They have claimed they have met Mike and myself to discuss things and they haven't. It's total rubbish.

 

“There are three or four interested parties who we are talking to but these aren't one of them.”

Fucking laughable!  The more this drags on the more I think Ashley had a major grudge against the club from the outset.

 

This twat needs a good fucking kicking
