Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Would come as no surprise but the media have been done again I've sad this previously but it makes sense to take cash out of the club prior to a takeover and Ashley won't want to reduce his loans as this will increase his exposure to tax on the sale. Buying an asset should have no impact on the value of the club and actually makes it more attractive for a prospective buyer as they would rather buy assets than cash (OK I give you Joelinton as the exception to the rule). I doubt the owners actually care about who the players are other than maybe one or 2 favourites that they may look to bring in It basically is either happening behind the scenes or not, everything else will continue pretty much as normal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon No9 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Very quiet on the takeover front yesterday and today. Probably a good sign but the silence is hard to live with. Want to get it done, NOW! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Steve Bruce will obviously be kept in the dark, Charnley is likely to be kept in the dark. On top of this, if NDA’s are signed, Bruce is hardly going to come out and say ‘we are down the road in a takeover’. I don’t think singing or not signing players is any sort of indicator of a sale, we are just going about what should be normal business for a football club. I’m not saying the takeover will happen, just trying to explain that we are obviously not going to be just spoon fed information on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Very quiet on the takeover front yesterday and today. Probably a good sign but the silence is hard to live with. Want to get it done, NOW!

Lights off and no blinds all around, all doors closed to save on heating, Susan sat at the desk on her own with 35 telephone lines al put through to her phone, charnley sat at his desk with padded corners staring a newton's cradle while Bruce stands braying the door at ashleys empty office knowing full well he's not there.

Menace Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Quite why Benitez remains so popular with the Toon Army remains a mystery to those of us outside the North East. He is still revered for not buggering off after taking them down into the Championship. In fact, it was another two years before he buggered off to Dalian Yifang to earn £12million a year after tax. But now it seems that Rafa is ready to rekindle his Geordie love affair as soon as he can get a flight out of virus-stricken China. So let’s forget the misery of his final season at Newcastle, when his team narrowly dodged relegation while playing some of the most turgid football ever seen at St James’ Park. And let’s ignore the fact that Steve Bruce is making a far better fist of things this time — despite the apathy of fans. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
