Klaus Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Not sure it matters that much how much the bid is? It's a first step to start more detailed negotiations We won’t see a penny of it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlies Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I don't get it Ryders 'club sources' confirmed it was £300m, they're all fucking clueless man. The fact a bid has been submitted can only be seen as a good thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Best thing is Ryder saying the club sources said it’s true, obviously lying out his front teeth and he knows nowt as per I’d imagine he’s dropped a massive clanger and asked his source if the Sky story is true, to which they have said yes (meaning a bid made) and he’s incorrectly presumed that the source was verifying the full story, including the price.

Infinitely Content Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Ashley keen to sell. PCP now clearly keen to buy. Bid already submitted in the ballpark. Don't see why this wont happen tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not even got a source to ask, he’s just on the twitter bandwagon and thought he better post summit from the under 23 game so people think he’s in the loop. Backfired this time though, jokers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Basically, no one has a clue. But a bid is surely a big step forward with regards to completion of the deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 We live in a time where it’s more important to be first with news than be accurate. There are infinite permutations here. That the info has leaked probably indicates that PCP or their investors are playing hard ball. Say Ashley wants 400m, but would probably take 350.. by Staveley bidding 300, he now runs the risk of a fucking riot if he doesn’t accept.. so instead of putting up with a revolt for the sake of more profit, he might just take around 315 now. And her commission on this might depend on any amount saved. I’d prefer to take a step back and wait for more solid news.. as fucking hard as that is tonight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 It’s quite obvious at this stage that a lot of the media are just totally guessing now, or being fed s*** info. There’s about 5 journalists all claiming different things with different ‘sources’. Yep. Here's a Reuters article. They're decent aren't they? Anyway, here: https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-soccer-newcastle-united-offer/staveleys-pcp-makes-300-million-pound-bid-for-newcastle-united-source-idUKKBN1DK2H9 PCP Capital Partners has submitted a bid of around 300 million pounds to take over Premier League club Newcastle United, a source with knowledge of the bid told Reuters. Newcastle owner Mike Ashley put the club up for sale last month and PCP, the investment firm run by British businesswoman Amanda Staveley, was widely expected to be the main bidder for the North East team. The source said PCP has offered different payment structures, meaning that the value of the bid was not fixed. Newcastle did not respond to a request for comment. One offer is to pay the full amount up front and another proposes a smaller amount upfront with the rest tied to performance. PCP Capital, which acts for investors in the Middle East and China, is best known for acting as an intermediary between Barclays and a group of Abu Dhabi investors during the 2008 financial crisis, helping the British bank avoid a government bailout. Newcastle have been relegated twice since Ashley took charge in 2007. The club won promotion back to the Premier League last season and are currently 11th in the table. Ashley has faced criticism for not investing more in players, and his announcement in October that the club was up for sale was welcomed by fans. The statement, issued on Oct. 16, from Ashley’s St. James’ Holdings Limited, said they would be willing to allow a potential purchaser to defer “substantial” payments in order to allow the new owner the flexibility to “make meaningful investment in the club, including in its playing squad”.

timeEd32 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 It’s quite obvious at this stage that a lot of the media are just totally guessing now, or being fed s*** info. There’s about 5 journalists all claiming different things with different ‘sources’. In this case I don't think anyone is guessing. I think they all have different sources and depending on which side the info is coming from and how close the source is to the proceedings they're getting different versions. All that we should care about at this stage is a bid has been made, it may have been made as early as last week, and there are no reports it's been outright rejected. This is all very positive.

mrmojorisin75 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 £350m should do it. Of everything I've read I can imagine these valuations/bid being the closest. Hopefully they can compromise somewhere, quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
