Raconteur Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Not really. Once we relegated, the club value would take a serious hit and this actually reduce his wealth already. And, if we are further relegated, he would realize eventually he would get nothing in return from us and he would fire sale at a very low price. in short, one relegation may not be enough, but two would do it. Lets prepare for life in League One. I don't agree - his wealth would only be effected as the value of an illiquid asset dropped, but since that money is already tied up there's no need to let the asset go. And if he splits the sale price and keeps the loan separate, then it would only be the sale price that would drop and the loan would continue to hang over our heads. Conceivably, we could get relegated to a pub league and still have his 117 million debt (or whatever it is) attached to the club. I think he'd be more disinclined to sell. You're assuming he'll cut his losses at some point. I think the way he runs the club assures he will cut our cloth to wherever we are and then (continue to) stick two fingers up at the fans whatever league we are in.

Tsunami Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 He's got that much money he really doesn't need to sell us until he gets bored. He could sell us for a massive loss and he wouldn't notice the difference other than it being a figure. Problem is that he'll simply not do that, if we go down I really do think he'll find a way of loaning us more money making us even less attractive to potential buyers. Unless we go down another division or so I think we're stuck with him for the foreseeable future. It would take a major campaign to get the thick skinned, malicious git out of the club.

STM Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I'm pretty convinced he had no intention of selling the club when we got relegated in 09. I see no reason why he would do it now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I'm pretty convinced he had no intention of selling the club when we got relegated in 09. I see no reason why he would do it now. Absolutely this, if he "puts the club up for sale" it's because he wants us off his back, that's all he did it for last time and it worked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/579521/Newcastle-United-owner-Mike-Ashley-St-James-Park EXCLUSIVE: Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley to face angry fans at St. James’ Park NEWCASTLE UNITED owner Mike Ashley will place himself in the front line at St. James’ Park today as the club fights for its Premier League future. By JOHN RICHARDSON PUBLISHED: 22:30, Sat, May 23, 2015 Ashley who has missed recent games as the relegation heat intensified has decided to attend this afternoon’s crunch Tyneside game against West Ham. A Newcastle insider told Sunday Express Sport: “It’s a huge game - one of the biggest in years - and Mike feels it’s important he comes up to give his support to the management and the players.” Ashley who has been subjected to a fans’ campaign to remove him knows that things could turn nasty if Newcastle are relegated for the second time during his controversial reign. But he is prepared to front everybody up hoping that Newcastle are still a Premier League club at 5pm. Ashley is believed to be fuming about the situation Newcastle find themselves in and has promised big changes and investment in the summer. He knows he has to find a new manager following Alan Pardew’s departure and John Carver’s appalling record since taking over on an interim basis. Newcastle are still likely to go foreign in their pursuit of a new boss especially after former England manager Steve McClaren rejected overtures from the Toon on two occasions. The continual links with Newcastle are likely to cost McClaren his job at Derby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
