In just under 3 minutes, he managed to say the words "football club" 13 times. What this moron is doing on TV f*** only knows.

 

Why did you count?

 

Because the phrase "football club" when clearly said in a football errrr club context is one of my biggest pet hates. When I heard him trawl it out 3 times in the first 10 seconds I decided to keep counting. Plus I'm currently unemployed.

Aye, pure propaganda and Bullsh*t that, like.

 

Pertinent points for those who can't / don't want to click the link

 

"He (MA) could probably do a deal with someone on the cheap, but he wont"... erm, wonder why??

 

"He (MA) has put about a quarter of a billion pounds into that club so there is no debt, and it doesn't owe any money to anyone... erm, apart from the £100m+ the club now owes to him.

 

"He (MA) could have done a deal now (before the new TV deal came long) and they (new buyers) could have benefited from it."... Ah, so he's only sticking around to try and push up the price due to the new TV deal, and thus, probably wouldn't ever consider 'doing a deal with someone on the cheap'??

Still cannot  understand  why her backers were named and they have then  come out and say they ate no longer intrested in the club .

Does this mean she still wants the club it's  just that she still  has not raised  the cash yet . So Ashley  called it all off .

I hope this puts an end to all these so called ITKs. Bunch of useless knackers.

It's very possible that the information that they had was correct and then, at the last minute, Ashley has just pulled the plug or moved the goalposts.

Chronicle reporting offer still on table and she’s willing to show proof of funds.

If she isn’t willing to increase the offer it all seems a little pointless mind.

 

Isn't that something that happens when the PL do their 'checks'?

I'm getting the impression she had a large group of investors chucking in £50m here and £50m there, not a single very wealthy individual or company.  It might be the case that they're not willing to increase their stake and thus she's unable to increase her offer any further.

Ashley came out and effectively labelled her a time-waster. This is her way of showing (with the permission of the backers) that they were people of real substance- it might not save this deal but it may help the next one.

Agreed, if she doesn’t up her offer this deal is dead. Any money Ashley puts into the club has remained on the balance sheet regardless he’s done nothing out of good will as far as the club is concerned.

I'd guess any sort of improved offer will depend on results on the pitch. If results improve and we approach safety, she may feel more confident to give closer to what he wants.

 

On the flipside though, I doubt Ashley would accept her current lower offer if we looked in serious trouble.

Report – Amanda Staveley’s Surprising Investors Revealed – Two Brothers

Written by Dr. Ed Harrison

8:03am  Thursday, January 18th, 2018

 

 

 

We were led to believe that because Amanda Staveley was situated in the Middle East and knew lots of wealthy middle-east investors that those interested in buying Newcastle were from that region.

 

David Conn of the Guardian has revealed today the investors were actually from London and are the wealthy Reuben family.

 

Conn has reported he got the go-ahead from Amanda Staveley to reveal who the real investors would have been – if the deal had gone through.

 

They are said to be the co-investors in the takeover attempt of Newcastle, which has ultimately failed.

 

The business is the Reuben Brothers’ business and led by David and Simon Reuben, who are both in their 70s.

 

The brothers were born in Mumbai, India and arrived in London in the 1950s with their mother, Nancy, and lived in Islington.

 

In the Forbes World Billionaires of 2017, they were listed as the 65th richest in the world with a net wealth of $15.3B – about £11B.

 

Their business activities are mainly in the UK property market, where they have a substantial portfolio of debt-free assets.

 

As of 2016 their business activities mainly involved real estate, both in the UK and abroad, venture capital, and private equity.

 

David Conn has reported that the main man involved in the negotiations from Reuben’s camp was David Reuben’s 31-year-old son Jamie.

 

He was the one involved with Ms. Staveley as they bid for Newcastle United.

 

Conn has also surprisingly reported that when the November offer of £250M was not accepted, the deal was off as far as the Reuben camp was concerned.

 

The piece by David Conn in the Guardian seems to support the case made by Mike Ashley that not much has happened in four months other than the £250M bid in November.

 

Ashley thought that offer was undervaluing the club and no further proposals were made.

 

Here’s a piece from the Guardian report which quotes a spokesman for the Reuben family saying the deal is definitely off:

 

“It is true that we did have a look at it, but nothing actually happened,”

 

“We are not investing in Newcastle United either as Reuben Brothers or as any individuals, including Jamie.”

 

This is looking like what happened in 2008 all over again, and Mike Ashley could eventually take the club off the market if he doesn’t get the high price he wants.

 

If that happens it will be a complete and utter disaster for Newcastle fans everywhere.
