Consortium of one Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 There's no consortium. There's no take over. The whole thing is designed by Ashley and his cronies for the low capacity, The gullible/naive. Keep buying into it and keep suffering. I don't have any money to spare but I certainly do exist.

Guest Hog Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 All this ITK kak is quality, I want a go: I can't give away my source, but a colleague's aunt's hairdresser's other half's step son gave me info that's 110% at this point... people might not be as happy as they think with the new setup up when it happens, but I can confirm that the new owner will be a man, he will able to drive a car, his birthday falls on a day with a 'y' in it, but unfortunately he doesn't have as much money as Sheikh Mansour. ... you heard it here first folks, remember my name.

Robster Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 There is one thing of which I am certain. If Mike Ashley one day sells us, it'll be to someone who is the worst fit. There is no way he'll sell us with the best interests of the club at heart. It'll be his last 'fuck you' act. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 When the time comes in an ambitious young person’s life to buy a professional football team, the process is usually smoothed over by having several billion dollars in your pocket. It’s even simpler when you can easily prove that you’re good for all that cash by, for instance, being a royal in the country that controls 8% of the world’s oil reserves. At that point, you pick a team that’s for sale and keep adding zeros to your offer until everyone says yes. This was how Sheikh Mansour expected to do business when he decided to buy into English football in the summer of 2008. As a thirtysomething with more money than he could spend in several lifetimes, Mansour didn’t fit the usual profile of a Premier League owner — certainly not that of the local businessmen who bought clubs in the 1980s and 1990s. But he faced a hitch: the clubs on top of the pile, the ones that matched Abu Dhabi’s level of ambition — Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle — weren’t for sale. Mansour would have to look elsewhere. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/the-club-book-extract-how-abu-dhabi-took-over-manchester-city-pcm726v6j Underlines that Ashley was never really serious about selling us back then. Also does make you cautious about any new buyer lined up as well. If they are reluctant to pay a premium for the club, it makes you think they won't necessarily be much more expansive than Ashley when it comes to investment. Obviously they could run it with a bit more ambition, but you need to actually own the club first, and the buyers we are talking about don't seem to have the clout to just toss Ashley an extra £50m just to get him to fuck off. I am sort of agreeing with HTT's earlier post about their credentials. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 He's probably paying one of the big four consultancy fees auditing fees etc. Make no mistake this deal will cost a lot of of money. Minhosa[/member] can you please expand on why you feel he would be a poor owner? Yes. - I've got major doubts as to the structure of the deal in respect of the ownership arrangements/reporting lines etc. I can't recall any successful ownership structures involving as many parties. Too many cooks and all that......... - This talk of the fat man getting the consortiums to join up increases this level of concern tenfold btw. So much for the long term wellbeing of the club, eh fatty? Long term wellbeing of your fat pockets. Prick. - There is also the sub-par company Kenyon has been keeping at the same time he's been having these meetings with the takeover consortium. I mean names that I would hope would never have any role in the future of NUFC. - If it goes through, I will throw out the names as a warning ref: who our future manager could be. I'll not do it before as it'll send shivers and might be misleading but I will share it if the deal happens. - The only positive I see is that it might be the end of Ashley being hands on. I've a major hunch he wants to retain a minority stake. This is not ITK, this is only my personal hunch. Agree with some of this, but not all. There's no chance of him working in the top flight in management. In one way it is actually a positive that they have sought advice from someone like this given his past. Even if I don't like him.

loki679 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Fairly certain SBNUFC is just taking the piss like. Even if he is, it's not rocket science, this is Newcastle United. We got taken over by a billionaire and things got even shitter than they were before. We'll get taken over by someone else and somehow, against all probability and reason things will get even shitter. After that they'll sell to someone who will miraculously manage to have us doing well but unfortunately not well enough to actually win anything (these will be remembered as the good days) until they sell to an absolute cunt and the cycle begins anew.
