Guest strongbow69 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Wouldn't Ashley want to push the story about not making purchases, rather than not getting enough for Cabaye? how? why? Its quite apparent Ashley signs the cheques isn't it?, Ashley would then have to say 10m was the bid ceiling for a player valued at 15m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled in Texas Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I mentioned this is another thread. half time at the derby, bloke who sits near me in the milburn paddock had recently returned from business trip to Dubai and said he had been informed sandman hotels had been in talks with Ashley since October and were planning a takeover in march but Ashley wanted to delay it. No offence but that sounds like a load of s****. I know - straws being clutched at. he seemed quite sincere about it. oh well, we can still live in hope. I'm just desperate to believe there is a buyer out there. Interesting....Their CEO owning the Dallas Stars is decently relevant. Hope he's partnering with Jerry Jones Whoa!! wait ... Who owns Sandman hotels? Tom Gaglardi ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 That article about Ashley making funds available but kinnear messing up etc is a load of bollocks. Ashley was the one who employed the bloke and anyone with a ounce of knowledge about football could have told him Kinnear was an absolute joke and totally un-equipped to perform in that role. He'll have seen people not renewing tickets and figured Kinnear leaving now would buy back some fans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a name They're real. And also Canadian. Sounds like a logical progression: 1) Own 27 hotels in British Columbia. 2) Buy a British football club. 3) Profit. Let me just fly to Dubai to confirm. They are here in Alberta too, there is one of those sandman hotels in the shopping complex close to my house. Not sure why they would be interested in us or if they would have the financial clout to make us relevant again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't, UK law forbids any sort of mega casino, a few cities applied for a 1 off licence (including us under the Shepard proposals) the government were going to allow a few years ago, Manchester with Man City won, however the government sharp changed their mind.

Exiled in Texas Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Cool. Gaglardi has done a nice job reworking the Dallas Stars front office and head coach since taking over the team from Tom Hicks (of Liverpool Hicks-Gillette fame). If true that would be a good ownership team, with a realistic plan for making progress. They don't throw money around like its water but they do make careful investments in players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Guys, this isn't going to happen, it's just forum rumours, even then it comes from 'the bloke sat next to me'. I sent Mark Cuban a tweet a month ago asking him to buy us, we have more chance of that coming off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I don't see a situation where Gaglardi would be a football club owner, however if he ever were to be one, it would be him and/or partnership versus the hotel company Sandman. He definitely knows who we are given their Newcastle property is a one of 2 they have in the UK.

Who owns Sandman hotels? Tom Gaglardi ?? Tom is the CEO or something. He's also owner of the Dallas Stars. However, his dad, Bob, is the one with money. Worth just under $2 billion Canadian. Which is roughly equivalent to chicken feed and dirt. All of this is irrelevant anyway because the story is made up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 sacked for apparently not getting enough for Cabaye...... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastles-joe-kinnear-paid-price-3112128#.UvFtiPl_u54 Also And wow, did Kinnear have some ambitious targets... which would sometimes emerge rather haphazardly as he befriended strangers in bars and left them thrilled with his tales of football gossip and legend. Amazingly, they included Gareth Bale, before he moved from Spurs to Real Madrid for a world record fee of £86m. Although the tabloids could make up anything Joe Kinnear supposedly said and I'd believe them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I honestly expected a statement along the lines of "Just in case any of you cunts were thinking Ashley had realised he'd actually made a mistake, or Joe's ego had allowed him to accept he wasn't actually good enough for the job and should step down, it was for fucking health reasons so don't go getting stupid ideas like that."
