Guest godzilla Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Heard that “price of football” guy on the radio earlier and he said that the price Ashely has set means unless you’re desperate to buy a football club you’d not be interested Getting into conspiracy territory here, but it wouldn't surprise me if Ashley is leaking the alleged quoted price of £350 million and saying "how simply it is to do a quick deal", but instead privately he is asking for double that asking price. Nobody would be interested at double the price and there would be nobody even entering for talks if that was the case Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribesman Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 The Shields Gazette are probably worse than the Chronicle in terms of reporting, but maybe less repulsive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 The Shields Gazette are probably worse than the Chronicle in terms of reporting, but maybe less repulsive. I think what annoys me about the pair is the phrase "we understand" or "we are hearing" etc is actually someone else's article or information rebranded with that sentence and not much more, in other words pointless.

TooonDoom Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 The Shields Gazette are probably worse than the Chronicle in terms of reporting, but maybe less repulsive. The gazette is pure click bait. Their headlines are embarrassing. Far worse than the journal and chronical IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Yimentov Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 If I may offer some defence of Lee Ryder and his mates... I'm pretty sure there'll be pressure on Lee to just write any old s*** and get an article out. He'll be getting paid handsomely for it too so he'll be long past caring. In addition, as with most jobs, he probably has to submit risk assssment forms with every article and do loads of other pointless inane s***, leaving little time for his actual job. I can imagine the journos, who are all mates anyway, have a bit of a mad lads club going as well. "Dare me to do the Anita-Antia thing?" Mind you, a lot of them do come across as knob heads on twitter. Look at Luke Edwards' profile picture ffs. Rolling his head along his shoulder like Lawrenson looking at Hansen on the BBC settee. Gross. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Imagine he's on about £30k. He’ll be on less than that and if you’re a serious journo, have some fucking integrity otherwise you may as well be Odin on here. They are all cunts in the main.

Toon No9 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I've been thinking for a while that the saudis are just being used by Amanda Staveley to buy Newcastle. I think she, together with her previus backers and the Reuben brothers have enough money to run Newcastle. But the last time she negotiated with Ashley(the famous curry dinner) he said she hadn't the money. So she turned to one of the richest men on the planet so Ashley couldn't turn their bid down for the sake of money. When the club is bought the saudi prince will sell his stake to Staveley and the Reubens. In that way Staveley gets the club and the saudis get their money back and some good PR. It's just a thought I've had for a while and no fact whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a thought I've had for a while and no fact whatsoever. She had money the last time, just not enough to cover Ashley’s inflates price after the bids went in. Most of her backers then decided to put their investment somewhere where it would make a return, instead of lying in a pot waiting for Ashley to accept. She’s got new backers now with the Saudi’s. Then being involved isn’t a smokescreen for her to buy the club off them. They are her new backers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawberry Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund is working with a socialite friend of Kim Kardashian West to secure its latest deal. Carla DiBello, an entrepreneur who’s close to the reality TV star, is advising on the Public Investment Fund’s proposed acquisition of #NUFC.
