Jimbo 133 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Potential buyers jet into Toon for NUFC tour Jul 2 2009 By Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle NEWCASTLE United managing director Derek Llambias is understood to have handed a group of Asian businessmen a tour of St James's Park as the sale of the Magpies took a fresh twist. The Chronicle understands Llambias was with the group - thought to be from Maylasia - as they were shown the facilities on offer at United but the identity of the group is yet to be confirmed. The Toon managing director then accompanied the group on a flight back to the capital were talks continued tonight. For more details on the Toon takeover see tomorrow night's Chronicle.

Ketsbaia 0 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Anyone else think that we've let go so many staff Llambias himself is simply doing the ground tours? I bet it as nothing more than a bunch of snap happy Asian tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyff 0 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Massive Man U market in Malaysia. I remember going over there and the top I was wearing had the smallest piece of red on. Had people coming up to me going "Ah! Man United!" and pointing to the bit of red on me shirt. I guess I stood out being the blonde, white, English kid, but even so it was pretty crazy. If we could crack that market, there is money to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stevie Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I think the Premiership is so powerful now, no one could imagine how globally massive it has become. I know it's always been a big league, especially in places like Scandanavia, but it's truly global now. I think it could get even bigger, and we're seeing signs that even countries or certainly the upper echelons of societies are starting to compete with each other, you have Russia at Chelsea, America at Man Utd and Liverpool, you have India at QPR, you have the Arab world at Man City, now it might be a simplistic view this but I think the first club to be bought by chinese will be a major force.

Comments by Llambias: "Unfortunately we don't own the land. You can't sell it off for housing." "See that car park over there? I reckon you could build a nice casino on there if you could get a licence. Or maybe some houses." "Running the football side of things is easy. The punters turn up every week regardless. It's just like running a casino." "There's plenty of office space here, there are no employees or anything like that. You could lease the surplus space and make a bit of money.
