Yorkie Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 When's season ticket renewal time, by the by? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribesman Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 We have been here before a million times with Ashley and nothing comes from it. Leaks are never good news not because Ashley is upset its out in the open, but because it usually means either the buyer or seller are not happy with a part of the deal. Ashley admitted in his interview with Martin Samuel last summer that he likes to move the goalposts in these type of deals and that's probably were things are at in negotiations. When this latest takeover inevitably collapse, Ashley will blame them for being time wasters or not having a pot to p*ss in and the media will lap it up like they have the last few times.

Tiresias Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I think the main problem is Mike Ashley half wants to sell the club but at the same time doesn’t know what it’s worth. Doesn’t want to run the club in a way to gain maximum value so he’s stuck in this place where he has an asset that’s not worth half of what it could be 350m seems to have been a figure dropped in the media several times. But that seems low to me. The playing squad is worth half that. Absolutely this, I am convinced the problem is that Ashley actually wants a lot lot more for the club and people trying to buy the club assume he is acting in good faith and that the £350m is accurate. Ashley is hoping once someone is interested they will pay an extra £50m at least and or accept some ludicrous deal to keep giving him some of the marketing or whatever. The buyers get so far with promises that they're nearly at agreement then the price starts going up and up and they realise Ashley was leading them on.

TBG Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 There's definitely interest but as soon as it starts playing out of media it can be dismissed. If/when it'll happen it'll come out of nowhere. We'll not get 5 things we learned about Saudia Arabia or updates on how Ashley is angry over the news leaking. It'll be simple update on the website about the club's ownership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 It's obviously clear this leak hasn't come from Ashley/Bishop, just like all the others. The issue has never been interest in the club. The interest is there. It's the unwilling seller that has stopped it from happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

During each takeover story we hear Ashley only wants to sell to someone who has lots of money to take the club forward. I think what this means is that he wants Sports Direct to still have some presence at Newcastle and he wants to leech on another owner's success. I imagine this pisses off buyers more than anything.

The interest is there. It's the unwilling seller that has stopped it from happening. If we're all agreed that there's nowt in this, then surely we're all agreed that the club's PR team have a role to play in its leak? We know they've got a penchant for deception and misleading; fakeover stories are a tried and tested part of the overall marketing strategy. They distract, they quell and - most importantly - they dupe customers into keeping their faith and making purchases. Ashley knows he's hated. In the context of his role at NUFC, it's basically his USP, so it makes good business sense to exploit that fact and use it to his advantage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I looks like the interest is genuine but they will have to crowbar the club away from Ashley, he'll probably try to sell them the land he stole off us for £100 million Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Within days we will have a story about how Peter Kenyon still wants to buy the club. Fucking rancid bullshit man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I don't understand why the cunt can't just sell us and buy another club to start again. He's been done here for years, there's no forgiving or going back. You just know he'd buy someone like Bournmeouth and build them a new stadium or some bollocks.

Newcastle Fan Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 You know what really annoys me? that every rumor has a line it about Ashley being angry that reports of the purposed take over have been "leaked" it makes very little sense but it's the one constant in every fakeover article Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be simple update on the website about the club's ownership. I suppose one of the benefits of leaking the story to the media is Mike Ashley ends up looking like a good guy. Just look at this thread where we have quite a few fans who are saying they would prefer Big Mike ( who is after all English) as an owner to despicable folk with links to Saudi Arabia.

SweMag Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 No words from George Caulkin (as expected maybe) but he predicted (May 2018) Amanda Staveley would come back with another bid for the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 A takeover story is digital gold for the football media sites. Of course they’re going to get carried away with it.

Nobody Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Says an awful lot about the state of the club that I'm reading every post in this thread, hoping for news, despite knowing that nowt is going to happen and it's absolute bullshit. I barely bother with transfer news or match threads any more, but here I am refreshing the board in hope that some bullshit tweet is going to give us some news.
