timeEd32 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 We're probably about three days away from: Quote "Sources close to Mike Ashley have indicated that none of the interested parties are close to meeting the desired valuation. He's now considering remaining as in charge of Newcastle United for the foreseeable future." <cue outrage> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Just seen the interview with Amanda Staveley from a few years ago. Not sure if any human being has ever done it, but I'm sure she can see through walls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest taps01 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Has there been any rumours as to who is financing Amanda Staveley's bid for the club? I think it was initially reported that she would just be brokering the deal but i understand it is her who is fronting the bid? Was that the same with the failed Liverpool bid?

I think though I maybe wrong, that he's one of the regular visitors to Newcastle/Northumberland, but it wasn't his family last week who visited, it was the Abu Dhabi Royal family who visited last week. They also reportedly turned down the opportunity to buy us in the past (after the Man City owners interest in us). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1964 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Apologies if already mentioned but the James Richardson Podcast had a football finance expert, who advises potential buyers, giving his view on the current market. He was asked who he would advise any potential buyer to invest in and he said without doubt Newcastle United, fanbase, facilities, growth potential puts us at the top of the list Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I'm surprised there's never been any real interest in us before now. Everything's there apart from an owner with ambition.

James Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I'm sure there has been interest when we have been in the PL, but Ashley hasn't wanted to sell e.g. Not turning up at that meeting set up with Middle East investors Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for those with football knowledge there's still massive potential and being the most northern major club, a genuine USP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, fuck it, I'm surprised no ones showed an interest even when we haven't been up for sale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
