Anorthernsoul 867 Posted June 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Funny time for him to sell when things are finally on the up and the future looks positive, could turn into a nightmare again. Link to post Share on other sites

The Fish 1,043 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 More likely to be Carson Yeung than anything else imo. At least we know what to expect with Ashley now, the new owner could decide to try and foist players on Benitez, or get rid of him altogether. Link to post Share on other sites

Kid Dynamite 1,465 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 He would need £260mil to break even. But the club is now pulling in £100mil of tv money a year and Ashley will need an incentive to sell so I'd imagine he's looking for £300mil+ Link to post Share on other sites

Kid Dynamite 1,465 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Funnily enough Forbes has us listed as worth £300mil (their exchange rate is way off?) https://www.forbes.com/teams/newcastle-united/ Link to post Share on other sites

Anorthernsoul 867 Posted June 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Seems quite convenient that this has clearly been leaked by the club and it's coming up to the final season ticket renewal stage, don't you think? Link to post Share on other sites
