Eddy Chibas Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Be a howl if he bought the mackems http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/mike-ashley-wants-remain-football-11384873 Mike Ashley wants to stay in football after selling Newcastle United . But the Sports Direct magnate is unlikely to go for a Premier League club after realising he does not have the financial muscle to compete. After 10 years Ashley is looking to exit St James’ Park and listen to offers for the Tyneside club. But an aide said: “Sometime in the future Mike wants to have another go as a club owner but he is talking about maybe rescuing a club in football’s lower reaches. “He knows he’s not at the races when it comes to the big clubs.” Ashley has so far been encouraged by the interest in Newcastle from investor Amanda Staveley who is representing Middle East interest. But Sunday Mirror Sport can reveal there are three other “big hitters” who have registered an interest. And the insider added: “Mike will only sell to the people he thinks will be good for the club. It’s not all about the money.” Sheff wed, sheff utd, forest. Ashley will need a club who are happy to just yoyo and exist at the top of the championship and bottom end of the prem...and accept his awful SD s*** all over the stadium. I hope he keeps his grubby mitts off Sheffield Wednesday. They are a nice old fashioned club with loyal fans. I was thinking along similar lines. All his ShitDirect hoardings plastered all over a grand old stadium. Would be a sad sight indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 It's only daft paper talk, but Townsend would be a Mark Hughes at Man City level transfer. With Rafa, we could skip that stage and get in much better players like those City got in later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Ashley will be going for rangers Rangers have ousted him, and have made steps to oust SD from the club. I also have no doubt that if he were to somehow buy them, then a large proportion of the Rangers fans would have no problem boycotting matches, and in the SPL attendances are more critical as a form of income.

Milburn Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Wtf is the "data room stage" the Chronicle is talking about? I'm sure they are just making things up now. A Due Diligence Data Room is the place where the company places copies of the financial, legal and business documents that define the history and future of the company for prospective investors to review prior to submitting a formal offer. http://www.duediligencedataroom.com/What-is-a-Data-Room.html I've been involved in a few company takeover processes myself (was a member of the executive management team in a company put up for sale). My experience is that 80% of initial interested parties pulls out before entering the data room stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Handanovic - 35m icardi - 80m Insigne - 40m Guedes - 50m spunk the rest on a decent LB Might as well get Perisic as well if we are going full on Newcastionale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Could see him at Sunderland. He will wait for them to be relegated and become their saviour. Then we will be labelled ungrateful lunatics when they get promoted back to the championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always find it a bit weird when you go on about Icardi not getting a move elsewhere too because its not the 90s anymore? They haven't been good for absolutely ages, they are still playing Nagatomo as a LB. They won't win Serie A, they won't do anything in the CL. So they have an easy CL level player who should be playing for a CL calibre team They won the Champions League in this decade not that that really even matters. I think they could go close to winning the league and they have a great manager now. What teams in the CL do you think should/could buy him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they'll be more aggressive than us, someone would do him in That's one thing that gets me. As a collective, we've been fairly docile under Ashley. Bigger clubs historically - Liverpool, Man Utd, Rangers would've had Ashley fearing for his life or mobilised to get him out better. You look at ourselves and to a degree Arsenal - we've been taken the piss of too easily Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
