Guest Knightrider Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Thoughts on this issue? The way I see it for him to take full control he'd have to lend the money, meaning us mugs will be the ones paying him to take over, so if he does, I'll withdraw my already part-time support of the club fully, how about you?

Mick Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Shepherd taking full control would be one of my biggest nightmares, we'd have nobody to keep him in check. I think it would be the lowest point in my life as a Newcastle supporter, I think I would finally resign myself to not winning anything else in my life-time.

Well done for admitting you didn't support the club when McKeag/Westwood/Seymour etc ran it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alan Shearer 9 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 As long as he's in charge we aren't going to pursue top class managers, and as a result will be very lucky to acheive anything worthwhile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 How will Shepherd afford it??? He's rich but he's not that rich, and i think IF he could afford it he would've taken over already. I can't see it happening myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It becomes more obvious all the time that you are a KK bandwagon jumper who didn't experience the club pre-1992 and are lying when you say you did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see it happening myself. He can't afford it. He'd have to borrow. The club would then be lumbered with paying off the debt. That combined with his proven ineptitude in various areas would condemn us to mid-table mediocrity (at best) for a generation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJH obviously just wants to cash in his chips, but FFS has so far blocked his attempts to do so and is clearly trying to drive down the price. So far SJH hasn't accepted that, but he may conclude he has no choice but to sell to Shepherd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 How will it really be any different than it is right now? I can think of two reasons, the first being the easy time he'd have taking more money out of the club, the second would be free reign to do whatever he likes.

We can all make a guess at why they are still current owners, my guess is that one of two things happened. The debt was more than expected, I'm sure at least one of the would be buyers looked at the books. Or at least one of the major shareholders blocked a bid, my guess is the first and I'd expect that is close to the truth. If an offer had been made then Shepherd would have been legally bound to make an announcement, it couldn't have been swept under the carpet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 i actually think it's all idle speculation too...i just don't see a "win" in it for shepherd any more.... i'm sure until the souness fiasco he thought all was well and that he was doing a good job and the fans and city loved him for it - once it started to turn nasty under souness and as it has treatened to do with roeder at times i that changed and i think he'll ship himself out in the not too distant future my rumours, if you will, of the game come from the national broadhseets and they all basically reported the same thing the last time we had some "shepherd out" stuff....that his wife was/is sick and he's starting to get sick of taking the flack for the halls (which he more or less came out and said himself) well if he's sick of taking the flack for the halls i find it very unlikely that he'll put himself in the position to be the sole target for fan disgruntlement in what would have to be a long term venture the other option is that he's thick-skinned enough yo believe he CAN turn the club around but just needs the hall monkey off his back, but i just don't see it....he'll sell but will guarantee himself a place within the club as a result and that'll suit him fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
