Ausman 0 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 It will be interesting if he really does want to sell. Would be nice if it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ausman 0 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Yes I know but the club was in bad shape financially then, especially when we dropped into the championship. This time around we are a more attractive proposition, according to that article the club is recording a profit, which would make it more saleable. Ah well! one can only dream.

Park Life 70 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Should have said it was by Luke Edwards. Each PL club gets as much TV money as the whole SPL put together. This has been put out there cause they sense there is trouble brewing. Edited September 10, 2014 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Can't see it myself NUFC is the goose that lays the golden eggs advertising wise. I cant see Rangers covering such a wide area of the globe as we do in the premiership. But maybe he's had enough of us, his wealth has tripled since he bought the club I suppose we'll find out in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhh_yeah 2759 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I see he managed seventy-four words in response to Simon Bird's questions about NUFC at the recent SD AGM. 'Beneficial' and 'only answer' was repeated quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 "Anyone who claims they are interested in negotiating a price will be asked to pay for the use of a box at St James’ Park for 10 years up front to prove they are serious bidders" You couldn't make this up .

I too laughed mockingly in the face of the doom mongers. I'd rather be blindly optimistic and happy than pessimistic and right though. I'm pretty sure Mark Fenwick, Duncan Bannatyne, Graham Wylie, Duncan Davidson and a couple of pals are going to make an offer then bring back Keegan and we'll climb the table slowly but surely.

Kid Dynamite 5881 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 It's bullshit. Not only is he making a yearly profit from the club, the free advertising for SD is priceless. Why would he give that up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38553 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 "Anyone who claims they are interested in negotiating a price will be asked to brand "This one's for Mike" on their forehead and give Joe Kinnear his own pub to prove they are serious bidders" You couldn't make this up .

Slayer 3 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 This would be like a wet dream. If only. Let's see what happens. Meanwhile we can all help the situation by turning up the pressure on the pair of cunts through being united and continue making our feelings known towards them.

Howay 12447 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I think the only way we'll get rid of the fat wanker is if he has a coronary or someone comes in with an outrageous bid and is willing to pay off that St James's holding company as well. Sadly neither look to be happening with him looking slimmer than ever and people can buy other Premiership teams at a far lower cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 If there was any truth in this then the chances of Pardew going are miniscule. No way Ashley would laden a new buyer with a new manager. As Ewerk said, I think it's always been for sale at the right price. Crap journalism.

ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I think it's the opposite, never been for sale even when he claimed it was. Even more so now, it's probably worth more to Sports Direct than the sale price he'd get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4183 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 It's bullshit. Not only is he making a yearly profit from the club, the free advertising for SD is priceless. Why would he give that up? More exposure worldwide for the champions league perhaps? It'd be far easier to have Rangers there, getting the money from it than us.

Andrew 4183 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 For some context, the Spurs owner has put them up for sale as well, for £1,000,000,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said this before but I think us in the Premier League over a season gets more exposure than Rangers short yearly stint in the CL would get.
