Played 6, won 5, drawn 1= 16 points= Ashley thinking that in a few months he could be selling a club on its way to or in the Premier League= no sale for good while.

I think there'll be one or two groups regretting not paying the £100m when they had the chance, because the longer they wait, and the longer it looks like we'll be going up, that will increase.

How on earth did this thread turn into a Keegan debate as well? :lol:

 

Because a load of Ashley supporters desperately need to try and deflect at least some of the blame for the club's current state away from their beloved leader? If it wasn't for dastardly Keegan, the way Ashley was running the club would have worked & we'd now only be a couple of years from challenging for everything don't ya know.

 

;)

who are these ashley supporters ? most agreed when he came in we couldn't keep going as we were financially, haven't got a clue what happened with keegan and think ashley got it totally wrong with kinnear etc.

 

 

or is it a case that some think if you have any criticism of keegan or the previous board then you must therefore think that ashley has done everything right ?

 

:coolsmiley:

 

Being on the defensive in this way EVERYTIME someone makes this kind of comment sends out a message, madras.

 

Thought I'd mention it.

people come on here and ask if there is any news regards the sale of the club (as per thread title)

with others sometimes replying... read the thread...

 

well i never ask that question, i always just go back to the last page i read previously and read them all so i can get a feel of what some of the replies are referring to, this last 2 days i have read about 10 pages which has taken me an absolute age, and all it has been about is frigging keegan and ashley and this unfair dismissal claim.. can we change the thread title to this or can we open another thread with a relelvant title for the debate that has been going on?

I've just been reading the Telegraph down at my dad's and have had a quick scan to see if the article from it is in this thread but can't see it. Basically says Ashley is upping his asking price because of the good start we've made!

 

EDIT: The article doesn't appear to be on online.

CHARLES SALE: Fraud probe may force Ashley sale

 

The Serious Fraud Office investigation into Newcastle owner Mike Ashley’s sports retail empire may also lead to the selling of St James’ Park following a year of frustration since the club was put on the market.

 

Ashley has told associates this weekend that he cannot afford to have the distraction of running such a prominent club as Newcastle while dealing with all the pressures on his High Street business from a high-level SFO inquiry.

 

As a result Ashley is expected to reduce his £100m price tag on Newcastle to force a quick sale, especially with the club going through a rare period of calm as unbeaten leaders of the Championship.

 

Ashley’s change of selling strategy — having previously held out for £100m — will help the chances of north-east businessman Barry Moat, who was struggling to raise the necessary funds.

 

But there is still a rival offer from football entrepreneur Geoff Sheard, who has the backing of a children’s charity foundation. The American directors refute the scepticism of Newcastle’s selling agents Seymour Pierce about their funding capabilities and say Newcastle would not have given them confidential data to analyse if they weren’t considered real contenders.

 

However, the female CEO has yet to meet Ashley

It seems Sillius Soddus was more in tune with what he knew was coming in Daily Mail/Charlie Sale  i.e Ashley willing to sell for less rather than more as the Telegraph led us to think

The distraction of running Newcastle. Never seemed to have bothered him before.

 

To be fair Dave the SFO are fighting to keep there jobs as looks like they will be defunct soon or mergerd with another department & with massive fines they can now issue there have been tales of them going out with a bang & whacking Sports Direct with a fine of around £140 million & sending Mike to jail*

 

 

*=if found guilty.
