Karjala Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Does this mean he'll make the toon shirts more expensive in Sports World, or stop selling the mackems shirts altogether?! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest toonbaz Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 as much as freddy says he wont sell i'm sure if he was to lose his control over the club he would take the money and run. Link to post Share on other sites

Syrette Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Surely at the very least this should mean notable extra investment in the club (ie playing staff)? Link to post Share on other sites

Chris_R Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 This is possibly the best Newcastle United related news I've heard in ages. An English Billionaire wants our club and has just bought nearly half of it. I think I need to go and have a lie down! Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Echo Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 as much as freddy says he wont sell i'm sure if he was to lose his control over the club he would take the money and run. Bog standard thing to say when you're holding out for a good price "I won't sell!" He's hardly going to say "I'm more than happy to sell..." and then drive a hard bargain with the buyer.

Giselle Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 How will this affect our plans though? I'm pretty sure Allardyce would have planned on spending x amount of money. It'll also affect whatever transfers we have on the iron atm, and how will this affect the proposed expansion to SJP that was announced awhile back? Jesus. I can't believe it's actually happening. And out of fucking nowhere as well!! Get in!! The guy seems to be a genuine businessman as well. I'm just wondering though, has he sold up his stock in Sports World or whatever it was? Is he free from his other major commitments? He sounds really astute and the type of businessman that would take care of the club (and stay out of the limelight). Get in!

ennyoueffsea Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Oh, and doesn't 41% mean both Sir John AND Douglas' shares? This from nufc.com - St James’ Holdings Limited, a company set up specifically to buy shares in the club, has acquired 55,342,223 shares at 100p each from Wynyard (Guernsey) Limited, Cameron Hall Developments Limited and Cameron Hall Developments Limited Executive Pension Scheme, the holdings of Sir John Hall and his family.

KaKa Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 A little more info: He's thick with Levy, Lewis and Kemsley leading to rumours that he would do a buy out at Spurs, although he'd never given any indication that he would. Genuine football man so, in many ways, a better person to buy a club than an Abramovich. He gets a mention here: http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/media/article745385.ece Are you serious? Is everything under the sun somehow linked to Tottenham???

Chris_R Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 £10 says the Chronicle now turn on Freddy. Always like to back the winner, those lot. Though on the other hand, Oliver is unlikely to get much in the way of soundbites from a media-shy owner. Link to post Share on other sites
