Eddy Chibas Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Rafa exhausting his extensive network of contacts to land the players he wants Vs The board (under Ashley) propensity to penny pinch (to secure the perfect deal), and deliberately underbid for top targets (as revealed by Keegan). Now the real fun & games begin. Rafa's vision Vs well, Ashley's Sports Direct United's business model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chicken little Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 anyone have an idea at all what the dread louise taylor is banging on about here? https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2017/apr/25/newcastle-premier-league-mike-ashley-rafael-benitez Will the club be sold in the coming weeks? Watch this space. It is quite possible that nothing will happen and Newcastle simply continue under Mike Ashley’s ownership but senior club sources acknowledge that there has been discreet interest from assorted parties in recent months. If – and it is only an if – a takeover does happen, expect it to be as sudden and unexpected as Manchester City’s switch to Emirati control. Possible buyers? Well, the state of Qatar is reportedly weighing up purchasing a Premier League club and rumours of Chinese interest refuse to disappear. first i've heard of it, tho i've hardly been looking quite hard.

NG32 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Only Ashley could agree to sell the club and then alow Carr, Charnley and McLaren to relegate it. :lol: I'll wait fir solid evidence that NUFC are up fir sale before getting interested too much.

1964 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 With the riches in the Premier League and his previous pronouncements on selling the club, I can't see any takeover materialising Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magpie1892 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Sell up you f***ing fat mess! We're dreaming he will sell. The club is his own personal ATM, and an outlet for his crappy merchandise, and billboard for the same. The club was the perfect purchase for him at the perfect time.

Sir Toon Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Wonder if Ashley shows up tomorrow. Be strange if he doesn't although his chopper flew to Brighton earlier tonight and it's a canny way from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
