His crack is good on howaythetoon but he's still going on the same on N-O as he did on here from what I can tell - 5th best, you lot don't know what a shit board is etc. I thought he was alright too but I don't think he's that missed on here as he had become a bit of a self-parody to say the least.

I liked and got on with him but I still cannot get my head round the fact that he stopped posting after Baggio had dug up his old post on Souness and "spat the dummy" with the forum, yet now has Baggio as a mod on his forum?

Bombadil 0 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 They sound like people with qualifications, which makes a nice change from the previous clowns who were on the board because they were related to the Shepherds and Halls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I bet people who have been getting free tickets etc through shepherd and his clan for years will now find themselves at the bottom of the pile when Shepherd gets told 'sorry Fat man you can have your standard 4 ticket allocation and be happy with it'.

SJHL OWN MORE THAN 90% OF THE SHARES Considering the soap opera/circus that is NUFC its amazing how quickly we have went from being run by morons with Roeder and his team in charge to bringing in Big Sam, Ashley buying out the Halls and then Fat Fred and bringing in his people! Throw in the fact we already have players in with more on the way, potentially big money available, the two key backroom people from Bolton likely to be here soon and i still can't believe this is happening to be honest!

Biggest thing for me is that the players we've already brought in, haven't broke the bank and seem (on paper) to be very sound acquisitions. Instead of trophy signings, or "potential stars of the future" at an inflated price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 133 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Mike Ashley, the owner of Newcastle United, is poised to complete his buy-out of club shares after triggering a compulsory purchase of the remaining stock. St James Holdings Limited, the company owned by the 42-year-old, this morning informed the London Stock Exchange they had reached an agreement to buy just under 95% of the shares before the close of trade yesterday. They will now activate their option to force the remaining stockholders to sell their outstanding share, with the remaining purchases expected to be completed by the end of next month. Ashley bought over 40% of shares in May. On June 7 the Newcastle board recommended his takeover and he increased his stake at St James' Park to almost 80% over the following two weeks. The retail billlionaire founded Sports World stores in 1982 and, according to the Sunday Times, is the 25th richest person in in the UK with an estimated £1.9 billion fortune.
