NITON Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Maybe nothing, maybe something. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/11594902 The sole director is based in San Francisco where the private jet came from. Could be anything related to Newcastle though, not just the club. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_Karma Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 There's a plane from San Francisco to Delhi, so someone could easily then go Delhi - Istanbul, then Istanbul - Amsterdam, then Amsterdam - Newcastle. Easily. Deal's in the bag tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I don't trust the story considering the source, but saying Kenyon wouldn't come in with a similar £200m bid than Staverley's seems a might foolish, both will do due diligence and come up with a value of the club not just based on gut instinct, they may well both come up with £200m as a fair market price and Ashley is drastically over valuing it because he a) doesn't really want to sell and b) if he does have to sell, lives in hope of some mad billionaire massively overpaying him That could be the biggest hurdle in all of this. If Kenyon's consortium or another investment group is buying a club as a business interest it has to make financial sense. If due diligence shows the club to be worth £100m less than Ashley is asking due to the low value of playing staff, poor training facilities, stadium needing updating etc. that isn't a sound investment and a lower offer makes sense. Kenyon could hardly go back to his backers and recommend that they pay £300m for a club that is actually worth £200m. That could've been why Staveley walked away, maybe she was serious after all but pissed Ashley off because she proved he was overpricing the club.

Wallsendmag Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Still don't think he's serious about selling. Kenyon offers £300m, Ashley will want £400m. Kenyon offers £400m, Ashley wants £450m and so on. He's playing a game. It's what he does. It's what he enjoys doing. His next move will probably to jet off on holiday to the Caribbean. I still don't believe for a moment he's genuinely interested in selling NUFC and losing all the benefits that come with owning the club. It's a genuine money maker. A licence to print money and that's before all the Worldwide exposure he'd lose from advertising his other businesses around SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip side of it, it's undoubtedly a pain in the arse for him as well. Sports Direct shareholders/board members are no doubt annoyed by the bad publicity surrounding Ashley and want him ousted from his position at the company he founded, and I would imagine the disruption to their social media channels hasn't gone unnoticed. He gets pressured every transfer window by the manager, media and fans, gets his name brought up in parliament and has abuse hurled at him in the street by fans of the club. Now he's getting followed around London by the LMG and he's seen a rival website created to drive online sales away from his tat emporium. Maybe none of that matters to him and he's happy to cop the flack to continue his free advertising, but it's hardly hassle-free for him is it.
