Paully Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I refuse to get the merest glimmer of hope up about this as we all know what an awkward, fat bastard our owner is! One thing is for certain is that he won't leave quietly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing is for certain is that he won't leave quietly. Aye, very little chance chance of him fucking off without poisoning the well on his way out - fat fucker will hate the thought of someone else being successful at something he's made such a complete mess of.

Lush Vlad Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Unless it is a full takeover and it materialises pretty quickly. Then I’m really not arsed by this. Joint ownership with Ashley will end up being worse than what we already have and won’t work. How could anyone work successfully with that lying cunt?!

Yorkie Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I highly doubt anything going to happen (mainly because I don't see why Ashley would want to sell), but it's nice to have a little hope for a change. I don't understand why he'd want out at this stage either, but there's plenty of evidence to suggest he's very much open to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 No worries, last night I dreamt I won 1.2m on the lottery and Ashley sold the club to me. Then I woke up. No idea if I was good or not, sorry for the unfinished story and anxiety. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Went to sleep last night feeling hopeful. Woke up this morning feeling meh about the whole thing. Just have this nagging feeling that, much like should Rafa leave us, this whole takeover saga is like a last chance saloon, and if it doesn't materialise into Ashley going, we're going to be stuck with him for a very long time.

mrmojorisin75 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Fuck me imagine going from being owned by Ashley and his litany of shithouse mates running the club to this lass and all of her contacts She's supposedly a football fan aye? If true she'll know buying us would be a very, very good proposition indeed if she can broker a deal where the fat man isn't robbing her eyes out.

STM Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 It's almost impossible that she could be worse than Mike Ashley. It will take someone with serious majoob to make that fat cunt shift. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 She's going to buy the club and then make it worse, isn't she. Is this a "careful what you wish for" ? It really might be. While to date this has been little more than the regular "journalists feed off social media, journalists write vague story, story sends social media into frenzy" type cycle, analyse what little facts there are. She is a wealth fund manager, not a buyer in her own right. Wealth fund managers are paid to grow funds through various forms of investment. They will only invest in a PL club if they see a way of returning growth. If anything were to happen in this case it's more likely a conservative acquisition of a share of the business, rather than a full takeover, and not some sugar daddy looking to bank roll a load of signings to chase success on the playing field. However, if she is acting directly on behalf of a rich friend, rather than the fund she manages, a very different outcome could be possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very hard to imagine anyone being worse than Ashley though, sure it's possible but not likely. It's like when Pardew left, "who next?" was secondary, it felt good as it signalised change.

1964 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 This may all change if the HMRC case goes wrong, there is a decision today on whether or not the warrants were legal i.e. whether HMRC had sufficient evidence to suggest there is a tax fraud case to answer and therefore enter NUFC premises and seize documents. If this goes against us I suspect we might be in limbo for a while Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a business POV, I would have thought the attraction of Newcastle as a club would be that the brand has been undermined by pitching at the low end of the market when all the serious money is at the top. So you would think there's a lot of untapped potential there if you did want to run it like a proper franchise. Isn't that why Rafa is now considered a major asset whereas previously we'd go for John Carver? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Could you realistically fund the playing side of things through TV revenue and then skim the cream off the top in terms of other revenue streams associated with the club?
