madras Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 With Shepherd we might go into financial ruin, but at least we'll seem to be getting somewhere. With Ashley we'll be heading to financial ruin and falling down the leagues. While both are c***s, Shepherd is the better c***. might do. he was lucky to have ashley as a get out last time. the thing is,has fred learned from lastr time ? I hope so, but backing the Owen transfer recently suggests he hasn't learned a thing and isn't ready to admit his mistakes. he'd never admit he was wrong,i'm not even sure the owen deal was wrong although it has turned out that way. however not admitting he was wrong is different to knowing he was wrong (it's a very female trait actually) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he's not full of quick fixes and ways to fleece money off us so he can own a bigger % of the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Nothing from any other news agency regarding this. I'll bet SSN are getting their North Eastern correspondent out of bed to chase up this story. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/86978/Shep-s-back-in-Toon/ SHEP'S BACK IN TOON 30th June 2009 By Ian Murtagh FORMER Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd is a shock front-runner to buy out Toon owner Mike Ashley and take over the troubled club. Starsport understand that Shepherd, who was ousted by Ashley two years ago, is favourite to resume control ahead of an American-based consortium. A source close to Shepherd last night claimed his camp are confident a deal can be struck. And he dismissed fears that Ashley won’t do business with Shepherd, who has been fiercely critical of the sports magnate’s regime, which has overseen the club’s alarming decline, culminating in last month’s relegation. “There are two serious parties interested in buying the club and Freddy is one of them,’’ the source said. “At the moment, it’s 50-50 but Freddy is cautiously optimistic. “He’s upset at what’s happened to Newcastle and will do everything he can to get the club back on its feet again. It’s nonsense to suggest Mike Ashley won’t sell to Shepherd. “That is not a hurdle in itself though obviously a deal like this isn’t clear-cut and can take time.’’ Shepherd’s possible return will be good news for Alan Shearer, who has privately backed his fellow-Geordie’s bid. The squad return for pre-season training tomorrow with Shearer a frustrated onlooker after weeks of inactivity on the takeover front. Shearer had hoped to be reinstalled as manager ahead of the squad reporting back but instead it will be coach Chris Hughton who puts the players through their paces. But Shearer knows that if Shepherd’s bid is successful, he will be holding the reins again. The pair enjoy an excellent relationship and have held talks over the summer, with Shepherd promising the 38-year-old his first act as chairman will be to present him with a four-year deal. Ashley is demanding £100m for the club he bought from the Hall family and Shepherd for £135m in June 2007, spending a further £100m to reduce inherited debts. Shepherd has signed a confidentiality agreement and cannot discuss negotiations. He is ready to re-invest the £37m he received from Ashley for his shares, though Ashley’s £100m valuation is thought to be a stumbling block. Shepherd’s consortium, which does not involve any foreign investors, are willing to pay up to £80m. Although Ashley is desperate for a quick sale, it remains to be seen if he will drop his asking price. Of last season’s flops, only Michael Owen and Mark Viduka have left on free transfers. One of the first tasks for whoever takes control will be to slash the £72m wage bill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I'm undecided. Shepherd will be better than Ashley, but it was his interference which started the club's slide back in 2003. I'd guess he'll be being backed by foreign money, so he may just be the figurehead and not numero-uno. I'm not sure he could raise that much cash on his own, even with roping in his son and brother.

Yorkie Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 We need to eradicate the doubt surrounding the club, ideally before pre-season. That's a bit of a long shot - but we can't let it carry on. Reading Lee Ryder's article about training today (i think it was Ryder) was pretty damning evidence to me tbh. Shepherd's an improvement on Ashley and i believe he'll do his utmost to get us back into the Premier League, that's just my perspective on it. Plus he'll appoint Shearer straight away. If we can have stuff sorted a week into June then we might get away with a seriously shoddy close season. Not ideal but i'll take it. It's not a massive forward step by any means, but it's not a backward step either. We know what we're getting with Shepherd - an improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymag Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 This 100m has always been a joke. £60 million sounds about right. Ashley has been burning money like he just don't care, the fucking idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Postives: - Ambition in the playing staff: Understands that every top side is built around a star attacking player, and will seek to purchase a player of this calibre. - Experience: Will know what he's doing he's done it for a decade. - Fan of Shearer: He'll not be undermining this manager, as not only is Shearer too big a personality, but Shepherd seemed to hero-worship him like many regular fans. Negatives: - Too numerous to bother with. Meh, at least he's better than Llambias and we'll have a good chance of getting back into the Premiership sometime soon. Definitely not happy about it though, just because we've found someone worse than Shepherd doesn't mean he's the only fish in the sea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
