Well this looks more promising

Barefoot in St James Park

If thats the case unless theres news next week you can pretty much write the January window off as we all know Ashley's stance

If Rafa knew 100% that Staveley was deffo taking over he could have all his potential new signings ready to just sign their contracts. Medicals etc could be done in the knowledge the money was there.

Apparently they have to do another bit just what someone on N.O.s saying im not sure if its right

My thinking is they'd have to get the league appproval before handing anything over

I'm reading it could take a further 40 days once the deals accepted before PCP would be new owners. The reasons being further due diligence & approval by the football league. This must be why the 2 week deadline was mentioned at the begining of the week. if a deal was sorted today we'd be looking around the middle of January for the new owners taking over. Giving Rafa very little time for reinforcements 2 weeks later & the window closes, Rafa would have very little to buy reinforcements probably having to sell to buy. The clock is ticking.

Of course it would we've been down this road a few times with him look... http://ashleyout.com/myths/ashley-wants-out-no-buyers/

I dont think he wants to sell really it's another one of his games thats whybhe's priced the club so high

Tbh if we lose another couple of games i think the £250 million bid will look like a very generous offer

He wants her to increase the offer by 20% its a big ask. Thats a decent premiership striker

The free tv advertising over a decade must be worth a fortune.

is it the average value per player ?

Whats the final column mate the £4.57 m ?

If we're to trust these valuations & bids we've no idea except what we've read then there's a massive gap of between £130 to £150 million even if Stavely offers a bit more it'll be still well short of Ashleys alleged valuation of the club.

I think his £400/380 is well over valued for the state the clubs in now. The value of the playing squad must be buttons compared to other teams

I think £250 million is a fair offer cosidering he paid that including the loan for the club so essentialy he's getting his money back. Factor in a decade of free advertising for SD our current form & league postion, the value of the squad & the inevitable HMRC fine.i think it might be time to take the money & run

Sky Sports: Seven days to improve bid? Sky Sports are claiming that Amanda Staveley has SEVEN days to improve her current bid of £250 million for the club. Amanda Staveley’s present £250m offer to buy Newcastle needs to make significant progress in the next seven working days if it is to stand a chance of succeeding, Sky Sports News understands. Sources close to the deal have told Sky Sports News that reports Newcastle owner Mike Ashley has been given a two-week deadline to accept PCP Capital Partners’ offer are inaccurate. Sky Sports News understands any agreement this week would not be concluded until the second or third week of January at the earliest, partly because any deal needs Premier League ratification.

http://ashleyout.com/myths/ashley-wants-out-no-buyers/ A long read but sort of pulls all his other attempts to sell the club "cough" together

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/mike-ashley-given-two-weeks-to-accept-offer-for-newcastle-united-zt7x8m52h There's the linky to The Times article

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11678/11156852/likelihood-of-a-newcastle-takeover-before-the-new-year-is-fanciful-says-christian-purslow According to this nothing if anything will happen until the end of the season Reading over on N.O. there's an article on the back page of todays Times saying Stavely's given Ashley 2 weeks to accept a £250 million bid

Another good article from Michael Martin from True Faith http://www.true-faith.co.uk/thru-black-white-eyes-winter-of-discontent-3-dec-17/

This from this mornings Chronicle It was put to Benitez that January would be a big month for him and his side. “I have no idea,” he said. Asked to clarify he repeated: “I have no idea.” When asked whether that was because of the takeover he again repeated: “I have no idea.”

Remember this from Ashley ... In August the NUFC owner was saying that he expected the team to get themselves safe in the Premier League and then make the FA Cup a priority once we got to January. I think he might have to have a re-think.

Sorry but there's very little be positive at the minute mate apologies about before by the way calling you clever arse
