An excellent read that. We can only live in hope that something comes of a potential sale.

...from Football365. The author is, I think, a smoggie so he has no particular reason to be nice about us. But it's very well written and relevant, especially now.

Warning: P'boro-the article says nice things about the city/people of Newcastle too so if it offends you I apologise.

i was out with some of those nice people on saturday night

It is decent but

I totally disagree with "He should just walk away, accept his £250m loss and try and survive on his remaining billion. That would be the decent thing to do."

None of us would accept a loss on something when it's clearly still making money etc. as much as i want him gone he has every right to try and get his money back.

God i feel dirty defending him like that

you shouldnt
if the northern numpties hadnt sold it to him or got into a position where they had to sell it ,i hate to think where we would be now

he hasnt spent the millions we all wanted and he has made many many mistakes
but unlike sheppard and his croneys he has not left the sinking ship and just sold to anyone
remeber the numpty everyone thought was knight in shinning armour who had 25 miilll

why has shearer and the likes never put together a consortium of interested geordies??

truth is we are not a good club to buy

where are you going to make more money other than throw hundreds of millions at players and wages and maybe get a bit more from a league finish or a costly admission to the europa league

even under rafa you would need 160 plus million just on players

you wont recoup it from extra merchandse as we sell out every game the shops are full you may get a few more plastics buying the tops from ashly

who ever buys us it wont be a buisness it will be someone craving the attention and exposure

just like ash

[pboromag]

he will almost certainly want to retain advertising and / or merchandise rights.
he won't give up his freebies easily.

why should he ??

lets face it 280 mill for a club when players are going for 150 million plus is cheap

very cheap

[waalsendmick]

but he wants £380m

but he wants £380m

does that not include the debt
and still very cheap for a club in the prem with the size of the crowds we get and the money on offer if we stay up

how much will we get from sky next season if we stay up

That includes the debt plus aproximately another 100 mill profit for his back pocket to spend at the casino

why buy a company to loose money

Shepherd and his co-owners made a bigger increase of profit on their investment when selling to Ashley than ever Ashley would dare dream of.
