Shepherd plans Toon takeover - Doesn't make for pretty reading

[Mick]

strange how this thread has gone down the pan, since macbeths monkey swiftly followed by Kluiverthino decided to enter the fray, avoiding the main question though   

 

It went down hill when you brought up the "why Waddle, Beardsley, Gazza, Robson, Lee and Cox all left the club." question yet again.

 

It's off topic and the bickering it eventually leads to just spoils a good thread.

 

Actually, the well written and considered posts (whether agreed with or not) ended with this one.....

looking back, that seems correct, but Baggio - and others - don't seem to want to confirm it

 

 

 

Brotherly love. :roll:

As Baggio said, the thread has gone down the plug ....  :roll:

The Belgravia Group has revealed discussions are continuing with Newcastle United about a possible takeover of the Premiership club.

 

The club confirmed they had been in talks with the Jersey-based firm but as yet had not received a formal proposal.

 

"Talks are continuing with Newcastle United and we are keen to do a deal," a spokesman for Belgravia told BBC Sport.

 

Reports at the weekend suggested that Magpies chairman Freddy Shepherd wants to assume sole control of the club.

 

Shepherd already owns 28% of the club, while former chairman Sir John Hall has a 29% share and his son Douglas owns a 12% stake.

 

The Newcastle chief has been under pressure to leave his post with fans blaming him for the club's current predicament.

 

The Magpies, led by manager Glenn Roeder, lie third from bottom in the Premiership having won just two league games this season.

If anything's going to happen it'll happen while there's still a possibility of sorting this season out.

 

Nobody's going to want to buy a relegated club.
