Kanj Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I'd imagine if there are folk out there willing to buy Aston Villa for £250million, then there will be takers for NUFC for a similar price. I believe Ashley doesn't want to sell though - at the moment. I suspect Lerner's contacts might run a little further than Ashley's book of cronies and people he hasn't f***ed over yet. All Ashley needs to do is hire an investment banker (barclays, jpm, merrill, etc) or a broker and value would get set, they'd go after specific clients etc who had the cash to do it and they could get it out there. It honestly is that simple...its up to the fat man to actually agree to a value or reach out to the right banker/broker to get it done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's waiting around for someone looking to make a hobby out of it to buy it for more than it's worth. Until then he'll just sit on it while it makes a decent profit.

Yep - he wants to sell it at a premium, a big premium I assume. He should have done that after the 5th season - it was his perfect opportunity.

maze Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I'm looking forward to the summer. It will be very interesting to see how Mike Ashley is going to handle this given the recent* form. I can't see how this club, with its current regime, will be able to attract the players necessary to avoid relegation next season - nevermind progress. If anything, I expect whatever is left of sellable assets** to leave. *recent is relative in this context. ** Krul, Debuchy, Santon, Ben Arfa ect.

Not going to sign anyone worthwhile, Ameobi new contract, Adam Campbell and Adam Armstrong leading the line with lets not forget Moussa '2nd striker' Sissoko supporting. Bigirimana 'new signing' on his return to add the 'missing creativity'. Going to be year after year of never challenging for anything, just existing. Even a terminally ill person has an end in sight, no offence intended. But it really is this bad and if you're looking forward to the summer you need to wake up.

HawK Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 http://www.themag.co.uk/the-mag-articles/classic-pardew-blunder-exposes-disastrous-mike-ashley-era/? “In the last seven seasons Newcastle have got more than forty six (Premier League) points only once.” The Newcastle manager obviously wanting to focus on our current points total of 46 rather than five straight defeats and only four wins in the last eighteen competitive matches. What Pardew is saying is actually true, only in 2011/12 did NUFC get more than 46 Premier League points in the previous seven seasons, when they notched 65. Though obviously it was pretty difficult to get more than 46 Premier League points in 2009/10 as Mike Ashley had succeeded in sending us into the Championship. However, Pardew has inadvertently opened up a whole other can of worms because all but one of those seasons (the 2006/07 one) was under the ownership of Mike Ashley as follows 46 2013/14 (with 3 games to play) 41 2012/13 65 2011/12 46 2010/11 00 2009/10 34 2008/09 43 2007/08 43 2006/07 I then had a thought – dangerous I know. I wonder what was the story in the seven seasons before that, you know, before Mike Ashley rolled into town… 58 2005/06 44 2004/05 56 2003/04 69 2002/03 71 2001/02 51 2001/01 52 1999/2000 Well well well, thanks to Mr.Pardew it has helped highlight just how depressing it has been under Ashley compared to what happened before he arrived. In those seven seasons before the period Pardew mentioned, not only did we only once fail to get 46 points (when Souness attempted to destroy the club), but in the other six seasons Newcastle never failed to get less than 51 points. Yes isn’t life great under Ashley and Pardew! If it wasn't the same shit served up every day I might laugh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
