Moot point tbh, a buyer at that price doesn't exist...and Ashley is highly unlikely to say the least to sell at a loss. So that just leaves assasination or coronary...

He's got us over a barrel. The debt from the Shpherd years, the stadium mortgage/loan situation, increased debt from the relegation he caused on his own, it all adds up to the thick end of 300million. That's the price he wants but in the big scheme of things Newcastle United isn't worth even 200million iyam. There could be a nutter out there willing to pay it but if he hasn't made himself known by now it's unlikely hes going to come forward at time soon..

Not sure how uptake recovered after relegation tbh. The corporate world certainly voted with their feet at that point.

I read somewhere last week that after he was denied his SD bonus last year he sold a similar number of shares which lead to a drop in their price. According to what I read he basically blackmailed the rest of the shareholders into voting through his bonus.

"After you with the paraquat my dear old thing"......

Cast your mind back 12 months and see how the players applied themselves once we were out of the fa cup...they didn't try a fuckin leg and Pardew admitted that he couldn't motivate them . How hard are they going to try for his half wit sidekick?

De Boer will get a better offer before then iyam...do we have a plan b if this is plan a?...

Thats a lady's pot belly where I'm from....the bit between her gut and her...err...you get the idea..

Saw her round the time of "oh so quiet"...might have been 95/96?....she did a few Sugarcubes numbers and was pretty good I seem to remember, think I'm right in saying it was the first time I'd paid more than £20 for a gig..she disappeared up her own arse with my cash not long after that iirc..

In this new Geordie Glasnost

Think we need a re think on the thread title, "cunt" isnt really strong enough.... http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/analysis-and-features/mike-ashley-wields-his-iron-fist-once-more-at-usc-9994171.html

Grimsby Town Errrr...hadn't taken the m into consideration

Just read his wiki, if he accepts the job I expect Lord lucan to turn up on Shergar to watch training.....I don't think stroppy really covers it

Bernd Schuster in talks today with NUFC .....according to Alan Brazil this morning

Jack Butland?...Buckland?...

Scott Carson?

Ashley loads the chamber and spins again....its 50/50 we stay up iyam without an appointment this month. The players sacked it off last year after January but that with an established manager. What's their attitude going to be like under a temporary appointment?.....

When Eddie Howe broke into the first team at Dean Court in the late 90s they went under, there was a big rally at the Winter Gardens where he and his teammates went into the crowd with buckets so the supporters could help pay the players wages that week ......now he's on the verge of signing unknowns for 5million..they've been in administration again since that time too..

Cherries got beat at Leeds, shame. They're due a wobble but they're trying to sign some whizzkid or other from Birmingham....they've been quoted 5 million apparently Demarai Gray...never heard of the fucker....think football will have finally gone properly mad if AFC Bournemouth sign a player for 5million..

Absolutely nothing we didn't know or that anyone over the age of eight couldn't have worked out a month ago.

Why would our glorious leader require around 117 mill in readdies?.....trip to Aspers?.... http://uk.reuters.com/article/2015/01/20/uk-sportsdirect-placing-idUKKBN0KT20M20150120

The minutes silence is virtually impossible nowadays because people are just dying to fuckin clap for some bizzare reason. At west brom this season on remembrance Sunday the silence was observed for about 15 seconds before there was a spontaneous round of applause. It fuckin ruined it on the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of WWI. Why can't people fuckin control themselves?.. Are there too many is a bit subjective tbh. Geoff Astle occupies a Milburn/Shearer position at West Brom...we don't have a round of applause for Jackie do we? He died in 89, in the Autumn but the actual date I couldn't tell you....so maybe there's not enough...

De Jong plays in behind the main striker, as us non hipster tosspots like to say Nice to see Fish still wounded after being pulled into line over this about a month ago
