afar Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Well at least we've got my ITK stuff comming through. Better than the depths the thread fell too recently. Of course we'll all get our hopes up again, only to be let down, I predict we'll hear nothing and the story will be forgoten about by the end of the week. One thing is sure though we need a manager soon, already lost 4 points in two winnable home games because we've not had one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 So the only two parties interested in NUFC are Sheard who used to sell Asics gear, wonder if he ever dealt with Mike? And Moat who not so long ago was hanging around with Llambliar as the key sponsor to our Academy. Elsewhere it seems Pompey are being sold for the 2nd time in a few months. I have doubts if these bidders are pucker at all & not some mates trying to flush a buyer out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antz1uk Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/football_league/article6862334.ece Mike Ashley facing dilemma after substantial offer for Newcastle Mike Ashley George Caulkin * Recommend? Mike Ashley, the Newcastle United owner, has finally received a substantial formal offer for the Coca-Cola Championship club. Barry Moat, the Tyneside-based businessman, hopes to push through a takeover after receiving guarantees from Barclays that he will be provided with working capital to run the club. His intention is still to appoint Alan Shearer as manager. Moat is understood to have bid slightly less than the £100 million that Ashley has been demanding for Newcastle. The sportswear tycoon has invested more than £250 million of his own money since buying the club in 2007. The pair’s discussions have centred on the structure of their arrangement, including the timing of payments and any bonuses. Ashley must now decide whether to accept the deal on offer from Moat, who is the preferred bidder of Seymour Pierce, the investment bank that has been handling Newcastle’s sale, or hold on to the club in the hope that Newcastle are promoted back to the Barclays Premier League. Related Links * Keegan vindicated by £2m damages * Panel's damning verdict on Ashley era * All that fuss over Ignacio Gonzalez, a player who lasted just 38 minutes on Tyneside Promotion would effectively double Newcastle’s paper value and Chris Hughton’s team lead the Championship by three points after 11 games. Balanced against that are the difficulties Ashley has faced over two attempts to sell the club, as well as his immense unpopularity on Tyneside and while he is notoriously unpredictable, he has made little secret of his desire to leave. Last week’s victory by Kevin Keegan in his case of constructive dismissal against Newcastle, which resulted in a £2m payout to the former England manager, removed one more obstacle which had prevented Moat’s consortium, which includes American backers, from submitting a written bid. The publicly-released details of the Premier League Arbitration panel’s verdict have also removed the last vestiges of credibility that Ashley’s regime enjoyed. Members of the hierarchy admitted to consistently lying to supporters as a “public relations exercise,” while their approach to the takeover has also been riddled with confusion and contradictions. Derek Llambias, Newcastle’s managing director, has previously said that Ashley has received “more than two bids at £100m,” and sources close to the deal have expressed frustration that statements such as that, as well as alleged attempts to drum up interest from other bidders through the media, have repeatedly delayed a fragile and laborious process. Shearer remains eager to return to post which he filled briefly at the end of last season, when Llambias said that Newcastle’s record goalscorer was “110 per cent,” the right choice to remain as manager. Like many fans, however, he has grown weary at the lack of tangible progress with a prospective takeover which has taken more than four months to reach this point.

Dennis Wise is a lying little cunt but he's more ITK than Silli Sod will ever be, which is why I'm worried that our good start to the season will have tempted Ashley to hold onto the club. Keegan's victory and public exposure of the rotten regime at Newcastle is our best hope that Ashley will take the offer and go. If he stays he risks running a gauntlet of hate if things go wrong, which they inevitably will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SportsDirect tycoon is now considering Moat’s bid, that comes in at just under £100 million. Ashley attended Saturday’s clash with Bristol City and was pictured in the directors’ box as fans kept up the pressure on him by chanting for him to “get out of our club.” Moat made his move at the end of last week after weeks of direct talks with Ashley over the structure of a deal, and getting approval to take on the club’s £25m overdraft from Barclays. Ashley has to decide whether to hold on to the club until the summer, when it’s value could double if promotion is won, or bail out now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stirring or not, it jsut doesn't seem Ashley's nature to give up the chance of a potential jackpot when there's one in sight. He could well scupper this deal and unless the lynch mob turns up he probably will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I think it is now blatantly obvious that everyone was scared out of their wits about the possible £25 million settlement for Keegan. None of us could have imagined he was suing for anywhere near that offer. Due to their disgraceful behaviour, Ashley and co. and everone else knew it was a possibility Keegan would get that much too! I expect the sale to go through now this is out of the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
