Carlito Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 If the three year advertising deal is the final nail in his coffin in his ownership of us then that's a price I'm prepared to pay. However it's every Newcastle fans duty to cover up, graffiti, deface and basically mess with every single sports direct promotional advertising in St James park. (We could even have a competition) Put a club legend's name over the top of each one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Yeah, I think it's goosed this one. Either nowhere near as advanced as Ashley led us to believe or he's moved the goalposts and the buyer is reluctant to commit. Stuck with him forever.

TRon Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 In what version of this lifetime was this cunt ever selling the club? The story about him wanting an advertising deal on top of the 300M is ridiculous enough that I don't believe it. I would believe it if he were to ask for let's say a 3 year deal providing he knock 50-60M off the asking price. Either way he's not selling what is in his eyes his most viable business at present. It always surprises me that there are still investors who bother going through all the due diligence, which must take some time and cost. By now you would think they would have twigged that Ashley wants more than what the club is worth, at least for those looking to make a quick profit. The way he's set the deal up is that it's going to take someone to come in and say " fuck it, you can have the extra £50m, it's pocket change to me". Basically the Man City owner types who don't care about the money, they just want a club they can sink money into and turn into a vanity project. That's not to say you can't make money as well, once you start buying up the best players, you are going to shoot up in financial potential anyway.

AsprillasShinPad Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I totally agree with those who have said that it will be tough to disentangle the SD bullshit from NUFC. If a potential new owner says that they want a clean break and for all the SD bullshit to be removed, Ashley will demand an unreasonable selling fee, otherwise there will be a contract to tie in that horrible branding for another 5-10 years, which would be cancerous for a new owner's reputation.

marki Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 If he doesn't sell before the seasons out it can all burn to the f***ing ground as far as I'm concerned. Anyone who renews a season ticket with Rafa gone, some patsy in charge and Ashley still at the helm deserves the pound shop version of NUFC that's left, they can get to f*** an all. agree totally Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Buying a season ticket to NUFC next season with Ashley in charge is akin to buying B&H Gold because it's your favourite brand even though you've got lung cancer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet people with lung cancer still smoke. And the tobacco companies know this and happily take their money. Same sort if mindset the FCB has. I bet he laughs at the season ticket holders every time he checks his bank balance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

polkaDot Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I'm hoping that the talk of extending the SD presence at the club is just Ashley chancing his arm trying to squeeze more out of a deal he knows he has to complete this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Find it odd that mike allows outside counsel to do so much of his transaction work if a deal isn’t even struck or an LOI Isnt in place - he’s paying these legal folks hourly to get a deal negotiated. Like that’s unheard of over here in the US. If business parties agree on a framework of a deal with basic terms done - then it moves to legal - this shit could take ages. Anyways, it would be nice to hear that a deal is struck. Fact he’s using outside to do this at this stage before a deal is in place with exclusivity is so dumb. So costly. so different to the way we / American businesses do M&A Work. Would love to get more isngiht because if it’s American money doing this purchase I could prob dig into the stage it’s in and know where they are on the buy process side with some more info and estimate better. Ho hum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably needs a legal team to make sure that any sales contract is watertight in his favour, and once he's gone, the new owners can't just have a bonfire with all of the SD advertising, and/or put SportsRedirect signs everywhere, whilst calling the old regime a 'bunch of c***s' to curry favour with the fans. Because, lets face it, if we were all wealthy and purchased the club, it's exactly what you would do... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Not a chance anything's happening whilst he's on holiday. Really should be easy to switch off from anything takeover related whilst he's away. Likewise player acquisitions, incidentally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will probably be the sort of bloke who will let the other party begin to walk away before he is satisfied that he has squeezed every last penny out of any deal. No way would he accept the first few offers he gets for the club, when they come in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Ashley fucked himself because he and his team didn't do their due diligence. I'd bet his ego would compel him to put some stupid poison pill in the contract to he can cackle and say he fucked someone over like he got fucked over.

He hasn’t the brain to want to grow us not the humility to accept he’s made mistakes and sell the club he has no connection to. You’re quite a thick poster man.
