Rich Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 His asset, unfortunately, he's perfectly entitled to set the price. History could end up showing she fucked up by not getting us while the going was cheap, instead of putting out stories in the media with some ridiculous % chance of us being relegated attached to them as reason not to bid higher (edit: 65% chance mentioned in a FT article back in December, which in fractional odds is 8/15. For reference Southampton are around that level now, being 4 points adrift with 4 games remaining and a worse goal difference than Swansea). They were both tossing about, not just Fat Mike.

UncleBingo Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I think with all the money he has pumped in and all the hard work he has done this season, Ashley is more than entitled to raise his price for the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Still think it's over priced, we have a load of dead wood we can't shift and the team has three loan players that would take around £40m of investment to secure to just standstill. Then we need at least 3 or 4 new faces to take us up a level to compete, whatever that costs plus £40m is going to be an expensive starting point.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 That leak to Sky Sports is nothing other than an advert like - which I suppose is positive in the sense that it shows the club is still on the market. Would be hilarious if we got bought before the mackems, their meltdown would be unrelentless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I fucking hate that he got away with January on the cheap, shortchanged Rafa again and yet RB works miracles and this fat prick is the beneficiary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Its like KK says, no one ever sees the money and its all untuths and half turths. if they spent as much time helping Rafa (and other pervious managers) as they do making his life awkward with PR then we'd probably never have been relegated. They (Ashley and his bum chums) have a very strange outlook on how to run a club. Its almost like they want it 4th bottom every season and will to run that risk of taking a relegation every few years. Very odd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Little Waster Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Having gambled on Newcastle surviving the drop this season, it is understood Newcastle owner Mike Ashley will be looking to recoup between £380-£400m from the sale of the club, which is significantly more than the £300m that was offered by Staveley last October.( Sky Sports News ) Twas ever thus ... bye bye Jamal bye bye Rafa bye bye Amanda bye bye hope ...

Disco Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Great guy though, is Mike. Mike saw Noocawsew safe thanks to his already blue passport, his English nous and amazing investment in overpriced stars despite the sickening harassment and frankly borderline illegal threats made by a lucky migrant he'd awarded a contract too. Noocawsew are doing amazing under his stewardship. Many clubs would die for an owner that ploughed billions in to their club and left them nearly debt free. Their hideous fans who hounded out princes of the British game like Souey and beloved Al Pards do not deserve such a fine specimen as owner and should be extremely careful what they wish for.

Ikon Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Typical Newcastle, us fans never allowed to be happy for a longer time. There's always something around the corner Don't want to imagine it, but I find it hard to feel positive about the future.. At least it will be on Rafa's terms Whether that is with or without him remains to be seen. At least he's no fucking ass licker talking the club down.

Guest firetotheworks Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 The club's for sale in the same sense that my car that's valued at around £2,500 and needs an M.O.T is for sale for £4,000. In other words, it's not really for sale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Funny that this comes out so soon after Rafa starts talking about wanting to know if the club match his ambitions. I guess the statement is a 'Fuck you Rafa' from Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Little Waster Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Unfortunately the only way he will sell is if we do a Sunderland and drop 2 divisions losing £££ in the process .

In other words, it's not really for sale. Read that as "my cat that's valued at around £2,500" and thought fuck, that's an expensive cat. Then I thought, hang on, why would a cat need an MOT, and went back and reread it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 The club is easily worth 400m as things stand. I’d want that if I was him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Easy worth that price. Staveleys fault for being cheap. Just think our captain has gone from a £10m player to at least £30m and we now have a striker on loan which will fetch £20m plus and we'd have been lucky to see double figures before the loan. We've not stood still, we've moved forward, that reflects in the price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebellious Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 The optimist in me sees that as positive news. Rafa has gone to Ashley and asked for a budget to start transfer deals on time for once. So Ashley has said you can have 80-100 mill and added it to the asking price so this time it doesn`t slow transfers down. That way if the club sale starts negotiations during transfers any purchases are included. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
