Paully Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 The Athletic can reveal that Ashley met with two Mexican businessmen in London last week as various negotiations to end his 12-year tenure continue. Unfortunately for those hoping Newcastle will finally change hands, it was a familiar story: Ashley is said to have come across as “rude” and the conversation came to nothing. The visitors were club owners, though it is unclear if they were the same Mexicans who reportedly had Newcastle on their radar in May. That was apparently the Orlegi Group, led by Alejandro Irarragorri and owners of the club Santos Laguna. At last week’s meeting, it is understood that the two businessmen revealed to Ashley a fascination with Newcastle dating back to the 2005 movie Goal!. In the film, a Mexican-born footballer called Santiago Munez is offered a trial with Newcastle and goes on to fulfil his childhood dream of playing professional football. Their chances of completing a similar fairytale on Tyneside look slim. From David Ornstein in The Athletic this morning. I reckon the Chronicle will get at least 5 pieces out of this.

Conjo Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Why in gods name would Stam have any reason or incentive to make up a lie like that? On the other hand, it is in Ashleys best interest to deny it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I think we need to accept that aye he does actually have a thin skin to criticism, but that won't make him sell.

How is the money generated used to help remove Ashley? They are sold out for now, with new ones being made. They make no money off the scarves. The company making them sells them directly and did so without any upfront costs. They are giving a percentage of the sale to a charity nominated by Toon for change. Toon for change are also giving an additional top up donation for the first 100 scarves sold. They are used mostly as a symbol, hopefully people seeing them will want to know more about them and it will help people realise that protest groups are trying to do something.
