Belfast Boy Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 It does seem a bizarre reaction to stories they don't agree with. Do they think the telegraph, and other banned papers, will now go easy on them in the hope they may get back in next season? I'm looking forward to reading the Southampton match report in the telegraph now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Whether officially for sale or otherwise, Ashley will always be open to selling. We're not for sale but we're not not for sale either. More pressure on Pardew, more ammunition for the press......good things may come out of this.

AlanSkÃrare Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20100509/nufc-statement_2281670_2047576 Finances The Club presented its financial report to Companies House this April for the year 2008/2009. The financial report shows that there was an operating loss of £37.7 million for that year and an estimated loss for 2009/2010 of £32.5 million. Newcastle United also has an overdraft of £20 million that is fully committed. It is clear to the Board that no organisation can be successful, until the financial position is stabilised. The Board have therefore structured a five year plan in which the ultimate goal will be to ensure that the club is run at a "break even" manner by the year 2015/2016. The club also wishes it to be known; in an effort to stop the untrue rumours and stories that emanate from outside Newcastle United that: • The Board have set a five year plan to promote core values of credibility, viability and sustainability both on and off the field of play at Newcastle United. • The Board will concentrate on Newcastle United's stability by promoting from within where possible.

AlanSkÃrare Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 That was a target though, with the new TV money presumably we're already running at break even, non? I think break-even might mean break-even on a personal level for Ashley. With all the income from his Sports Direct exposure etc, maybe he feels as if the money invested (the loan to clean the debt) will be repaid by then? Just freely speculating.

Unbelievable Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Newcastle United has today banned the Daily Telegraph with immediate effect following a report published in its paper yesterday (Thursday, 11th September), headlined 'Newcastle United For Sale As Ashley Eyes Rangers', as well as a follow-up article from the same reporter which appears in the Daily Telegraph today (Friday, 12th September). The reports by Luke Edwards on 11th September, and again today (12th September), are wholly inaccurate and written with the intention of unsettling the Club, players and its supporters. This is disgraceful journalism for which the Club and its supporters should receive a full and unreserved apology from those concerned. The truth is Mike Ashley remains committed to Newcastle United. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that for the remainder of this season and AT LEAST until the end of next season, Mike Ashley will not, under any circumstances, sell Newcastle United at any price. The Club cannot be stronger in stating its position on this matter. It is not acceptable for newspapers to print factually inaccurate reports that are damaging to the Club and to fail to check facts with Newcastle United ahead of publication and then expect to receive access to the Club. Newcastle United will not tolerate this and will take such action as it deems appropriate. The ban extends to all reporters working for, or freelancing on behalf of, the Daily Telegraph, as well as Luke Edwards in any capacity he may have working for the paper's sister title or on a freelance basis.
