SpaceCadet 5 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 £380-400m It's safe to say that whoever, if anybody ends up buying the club at anything close to Ashley's asking price they are more than keen on becoming the next custodian(s) of Newcastle United.

Aye, but the pity for us I suppose is that if they managed to get it for £300m, we might have an extra £80-100m to spend. I'm sure it wouldn't work like that in reality but even so.

I think we're going to spend 70-100 regardless of our custodian, for me the bonus would be Rafa spending the extra money from moving players out. Link to post Share on other sites
Rayvin 1,333 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 As long as we spend net £40m, I'll be happy Link to post Share on other sites

Alex 5,956 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Does the £40m net spend include the £100m we're going to get when PSG sign Mitrovic after the World Cup? Link to post Share on other sites

Rayvin 1,333 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 ... Can you imagine if essembee put the same level of dedication into something legitimately productive, as he does into hating Sunderland? He'd probably be running the fucking country by now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Alex 5,956 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I don't mind the idea of us living within our means, it's the unpredictability of the owner and also his inability to maximise revenue which is an issue if that is how we're going to play it in the long run. Especially as so much then rides on the manager and how lucky we currently are in that regard Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Carr's Gloves 541 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I wouldn't mind an honest owner who said we spend what we make, who then raised more matchday revenue by not giving away free advertising space. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

rogerbarton 24 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 You have to say that the only rational reading of all Ashley's attempts to sell are that he uses it to get the fans onside. He has no intention of actually selling unless an offer that's over-the-odds comes in. It's obviously difficult to quantify how much the club is worth - we've got more potential than Southampton, but you'd have to value us lower than, say, Everton, mostly thanks to the relegations and mismanagement that came due to Ashley. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I would say that Allardyce merits a hefty discount to Everton’s market value Link to post Share on other sites
