Snake 0 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Anyone who thinks this will be some swift takeover that will be resolved within a month is frankly kidding themselves. When Ashley himself bought the club it took the best part of 2 months to get everything sorted and that was us as a viable prospect and with him, we had someone genuinely interested in buying the club. This will drag out all summer and there's a good chance we won't be sold at all. All the while, I bet the fact fuck-head doesn't put another penny into the club meaning that we'll have no players coming in, we'll lose those out of contract and Shearer will be back on the telly. DK may not be a million miles away from the truth with talk of points deduction either. We're really in the smelly stuff now The club is no longer a PLC so can be bought and sold very quickly if both parties so choose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Onion 0 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 One things for sure, by admitting he's desperate to sell he's put himself into a ridiculously weak position That's what strikes me as most odd about this business. I had a hunch he'd want to chuck it but this is a strange way to go about it. It's pure soap-opera going public and attaching all this sentimental apologetic bollocks to what is for him no more than a business decision, albeit a costly one (assuming it's genuine). Why make a drama out of it? The sort of people who might be interested in buying the club could be made quite well aware Ashley wants to sell without all this fuss. I would say though that on balance I don't think this is purely a ruse to deflect the flak he'd get for not getting Shearer on board. I think he does want to sell, as he must know that no-one is going to touch a season ticket renewal till this is all sorted out. That would definitely not be in his interests if he was intending to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Castell 0 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I seriously worry for Newcastle. You got Ashley trying to flog the club to anyone at all, which in turn puts off Shearer signing up full time, and to top it all off you have to ship out half your squad who want to stay on their huge contracts. There are far too many unknowns there for you to rebuild and regain your composure. The ownership issue needs to be sorted ASAP. If it drags on until July/August, you're up the shitter in terms of stability and planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies if the question seems silly. I think the amounts involved are simply too high for anything like that to have a chance of getting off the ground. It's just not realistic for a fan-based group to raise a big enough amount to make it a player in a consortium-type takeover. There may well be one well-known local businessman in the thick of things right now as far as a takeover goes, but that'll be Freddie Shepherd and he'll have his own ideas about things. He won't be knocking on the door of NUSC anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies if the question seems silly. pud as chairman I like your thinking Paddy me lad! As for the NUSC, its not feasible for us to get together any kind of realistic amount to join forces with some consortium, nice thought but not at the minute, this is though why we are pushing forward with the Supporters Trust initiative, hopefully whoever takes over from this total shitstick of a human being will work with the fans in the long term. Whether Freddy has learnt his lesson though only time will tell. Hes also renowned for looking down on the fans. Here endeth the NUSC bit and starteth the Pud view...... Maybe now you lot will see where I was coming from a week ago, I dont believe a word either of these clowns say, I do believe that we are close to administration under this man and by doing this hes started the ball rolling. Basically hes now saying "its nowt to do with me, its not my fault". We have debts, all those that say we dont are fools, theres an overdraft and a morgage with Barclays, we've made money in the last two transfer windows and *allegedly* Ashley has pumped £140million in to clear the debts yet now we're sitting here with bankers breathing down our necks. I said it last week and I'll say it again now, Ashley had no intention of doing anything to steer us away from relegation, Im not saying he wanted us to go down but he didnt want to change things and bring someone in. He only did so with Shearer because he shit himself when Oliver broke the Administration story. He then had to actually try and stop us going down otherwise he would be seen as the out and out liar that he is. Now we're down he doesnt want to fork out anything to get us back up so hes pulling this one, as someone else pointed out, this stops him agreeing anything with Shearer, we will now be in limbo until either we're sold or Kinnear reappears to sell off more players and bring in some cheap cheap shit. I dread to think how far we have yet to fall..... just another day in the NUFC saga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9062 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Glad he's going. 50/50 shot of getting a good owner if you ask me. An Owner that's got to have the cash not only to buy us, but throw £20m at the immediate problem and who doesn't get too involved with the day-to-day. Employs the right men in the right position and doesn't embarrass us on national tv/media... is that too much to ask for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
