The Fish 8989 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 thing is, once the fellas who'll be out of contract leave, plus those few that are on big wages and we can get a decent fee for, Add to those the few that we can get rid of (even for reduced price) I think we're a VERY attractive club. We've got massive fan base, history, stadium and facilities, we do have some youth coming through... I know we're in the shit, but I don't think it's the end of the world as we know it.

Well it wont be if this goes through within the next month. My biggest fear is that this will drag on again and run in to the season, thus compromising getting shearer/a good manager on board with the right conditions (read: Transfer monies) and we can start offloading the freeloaders... I have no doubt we are still a hugely attractive club to buy, I just hope it goes through fast so we get a good shot at going back up right away.

Andrew 4218 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Can't see anyone paying £220M for a championship club with a Premier league wage bill. A Champions League standard stadium and facilities precisely, there will at no point be the need to approach anyone or shell out massive money to upgrade our stadium no matter where we end up which I reckon is a pretty big selling point for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 0 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Some comfort I guess that any buyer aren't just grabbing us to get a bit of PL glam and maybe have the good of the club more at heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally 0 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Or else they see it as a chance to get it for 100 million, spend 30 million on players, get promoted within 2 years and flog it off for a tidy little profit to a rich arab or american... Personally I could live with that scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themags 0 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 this is going to be very tedious indeed, whenever sky sports news is having a slow day expect a 'new interest in taking over newcastle' story. Along the lines of we dont have a name or anymore details but there is interest. Next we go live to St James with Daniel Craig who can add nothing to this nothing story and possibly interview some charvers who've just been to Greggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trophyshy 6434 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I say next season why not go for 3 or 4 owners. High managerial turnover is so passé, plus it's unlikely we'll ever break 08/09's magnificent effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Onion 0 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I doubt anything can be read into reports of interest or denials. The only figure you can pretty much be sure will be interested will be Shepherd, but he can't do it on his own and whether he's got investors with him capable of a serious bid is anyone's guess. Serious parties won't be trumpeting their interest to the media in the way chancers like Nathaniel were last time round. If he's writing off the £100 mil debt there'll be plenty of interest surely.
