Mike Ashley (former owner) (still alive)


Recommended Posts

Slight deviation here but there is a company in Dubai looking at investing around £500m into Swansea (not involving the football club) so I could easily see Saudi Arabia looking to invest significant amounts of cash into a UK city that maybe isn't one of the glamour cities. To them £350m on NUFC as part of this would then make perfect sense rather than buying Man U and its actually a small piece of a bigger puzzle. They probably missed the boat on Liverpool mind with G&H were forced out

 

Oooh, imagine the amount of new student flats they could build  :frantic:

Another plane/copter tracker, but this one comes with an oddly convincing theory.

 

Still bollocks.

Doesn’t even say where it landed.

 

It landed at Newcastle Airport.

 

So a helicopter with no links to anyone involved has headed in the general direction of Newcastle but may be going elsewhere?

 

I'm in.

 

Exactly! God I love the flight trackers. Their straw clutching is always hilarious. Best part of a takeover saga.

Why would they fly to Newcastle when its London companies that are dealing with the paperwork?

IF it was them, then it would likely only be after a deal was completed to do photo opportunities, press work, meet staff etc.

If they are investing in Newcastle in the wider area, then it could be to look at other opportunities.

All this is a big IF.
