Stifler Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Anyway someone educate a business noob. Why would she set up another company if/when buying the club? Slash, why did Ashley set up St James' Holdings when he bought the club? What's the reason for doing that? I don't know s***. I'm as clueless as you, it's basically a business owning another business rather than an individual owning the business. Must be some tax or liability reason behind it. So the company can be registered as a Limited company which amongst others things reduces the liability of the owner which is quite common for mid sized to large companies.

midds Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Inclined to believe it all tbh. Nothing to back that up with but negotiations have been going on for weeks and the recent good results may have calmed everyone down a bit. Window has just opened, few rumours here and there, new company created, not saying it’s all legit but it sort of fits. We’ll see, fingers crossed.

Matt Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Absolutely standard to incorporate a new legal entity to buy the shares in another- various reasons for doing so- to limit liability impacting any other businesses ultimately owned by the same people (this often needs a whole chain of entities), to bring together consortium members into a common vehicle or for tax structuring purposes.

Matt Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 From an article on the notorious Barclays deal: In fact, the documents seen by Euromoney reveal that the nature of Mansour’s investment was much more complicated than the drafting error revealed, involving a series of shelf companies called PCP Gulf Invest 1, 2 and 3 first set up in Staveley’s name and that of her partner at PCP, Craig Eadie, that were then transferred into Abu Dhabi’s beneficial ownership.

Odear Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I told you it would be sorted over these few days! It was done weeks ago but no way they’d announce something when they couldn’t put any deals in motion. I reckon she’ll run things for the first year or so, and would expect her to put in place a proper board of experienced top level professionals.

HaydnNUFC Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Saudi Royal family, man Can't wait to buy the league and CL When the news of the second bid emerged. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/dec/13/mike-ashley-sale-newcastle-united-amanda-staveley The identity of Staveley’s backers remains opaque but the 44-year-old is believed to have secured funding from the Middle East – quite possibly Saudi Arabia – and China. A skilled negotiator possessing peerless contacts in the Gulf, she masterminded Sheikh Mansour’s 2009 takeover of Manchester City. Staveley’s latest ambition is to try to put Newcastle in a position where Benítez’s team can compete with City in the Premier League and the Champions League.

Matt Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Are you saying that She has previous form doing this and this is a positive sign ? Yep. And the same guy who was involved in that deal (Craig Eadie) runs the company which registered Cantervale at Companies House. There is not a track record of setting up companies all over the place for no good reason so that is a positive sign. However it's not that expensive to do and I'm sure she can afford the £50 or whatever to wind it back down again if the deal fell away. I would have thought most of the Saudi clans are more worried about purging / being purged right now to worry about football? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 The final stages of the takeover are in motion and it should be announced soon, perhaps even by the end of the month. All IMO of course. I’m still leaning towards Staveley being the owner with outside investment rather than Man City type takeover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
